hands when they execute of Anne Boleyn.

It's romantic.

It's not funny, I'm scared.

Where are you?

Millennium Bridge.

No, you have to get off of there!

I mean, if you were to suddenly

go back in time right this second,

you could end up in the Thames!

It might happen again? Really?

Ya! You better get going right now.

Talk to you mum!

"The Count of Saint-Germain..."

Mum, it's...!

May all of your wishes

come true, my darling.

How lovely! Thanks, Mum.

It belonged to someone very special.

It'll protect you.

Lady Arista would never approve

of such celebration!

All the more reason to

celebrate, Mr. Bernheart.

Um, if they keep Charlotte at the

Order, can I have her room?

And, what if Charlotte didn't really

inherit that stupid gene?

And, why would you say that?

Maddy. Are you alright?

Is she having a stroke?

Aunt Maddy.

She's having a vision, Gwen.

Lucy! Lucy...

The egg of sapphire...

A raven will hatch...

Time's running out...

The egg will then break.

Lucy! No!

Gwendolyn. Gwendolyn is falling!

She's falling! She's falling! Gwendolyn.

Watch out! Gwendolyn...

Aunt Maddy. Aunt Maddy.

I'm right here! I'm right here!

Momma! Aunt Maddy. Aunt Maddy.

Gwendolyn. Promise me

you'll take care of yourself.

Gwendolyn. Yes.

What did you see?

An egg of sapphire...

...a black bird, a clock tower...

...and Lucy.

She looked like she did back then.

Who's Lucy?

Your cousin.

She ran away from home

when she was 17.

In love and foolish.

Caused such a scandal!

Ever since then Her name's

no longer spoken here.

Do you think its true?

You know, Aunt Maddy's vision.

Sometimes I feel like...

...this family thrives on fantasy.

I think we would all live

a lot happier

if we just believed

what normal people do.

Grandpa?

Gwendolyn,

where did you come from?

Nice pyjamas.

But you died when I was six!

Yes, well it's not for a while away yet.

It's only 1994.

We're going to cross paths often.

Is this your first time travel?

My second. Does it ever stop?

Gwendolyn. We haven't got long,

so Listen:

Each time traveller is a

certain kind of gem stone.

You are the Ruby.

I've left you a message.

All eyes will focus on you and...

We must see Lord Montrose,

immediately!

Quick, hide! Over there.

Your daughter Grace, of all people,

gave them assistance!

The gene carriers Lucy and Paul

have stolen the chronograph

and escaped it into the past.

We were afraid of that.

How dare these traitors

endanger our cause!

And why is the Montrose family

involved in this again?

They mistrust you,

you shouldn't have lied to them.

And they've discovered that...

Here, here and there.

I'd hoped that it wouldn't happen again.

I'm a freak, Leslie. A total freak.

Ya!

And that's why I like you.

My grandfather had to have known.

He wasn't surprised to see me, at all.

And look:
my cousin Lucy. I found it in the

photo album last night. She also has the gene.

She ran away with a Paul de Villiers.

A picture from their school ball.

Another de Villiers.

But he doesn't look anything like Gideon.

Gwen. Do you know what Charlotte's

going to wear to the ball?

I think she's going to have a dress made.

I really don't care!

Now, you're not going, right?

Or did somebody ask you after all?

We're doing research

for an article there.

That's right.

About stuck-up school girls...

...who are caught between

clich and lust.

You know that Charlotte will be

the queen of the ball. Yeh!

And you're as hollow as a chocolate

Easter egg! What? Excuse me!

Okay. I spent all night researching.

Its an incredible story, in fact

Pulitzer Prize I would say.

Alright. This Count Saint-Germain is

either one cool dude or a total imposter.

They say that he was immortal.

He founded the Order in 1745.

But what happens at the Order?

They act like they're out to

save the world. Its bizzare!

If you ask me, those kind of

guys want just one thing:

To rule the world!

Like in a James Bond movie.

I just want to know what

all this has to do with me.

Well, since Charlotte's not going to offer

advice, you'll just have to get close to Gideon.

Just spy on him a little bit.

How hard is that to do?

You'll have to use your female charm!

On that thing?

Really?

We'll going to be in trouble

if we're late for class again.

Crap, not again!

Seriously? Now?

Hide in the bathroom.

No one will see you.

Gwenny?

What's going on?

Was that Gwendolyn Shepherd?

Where is she?

Mr. Whitman, hello.

Oh, Gwendolyn, here?

Ah... no... ya...

What happened?

She had to run to the toilet.

A virus! she was vomiting!

Diarrhoea, skin rash.

And I heard its contagious...

Don't lie to me again! Got it?

Gwendolyn. Stop!

Listen, I can explain everything.

I can't wait to hear that!

I didn't mean it like that!

So, how did you mean it, Mr. de Villiers?

This whole thing is

bad enough as it is.

It'd be easier if you didn't

work against me, you know.

We've got to get back. The Count

will be wondering where we are.

This seems so familiar.

It's not like they say it is.

You must question everything.

Have faith in your capabilities.

Don't let them mislead you.

Are you talking to yourself now?

Or is someone there?

No!

A spy?

Gideon, there's no one there!

Thank God, Gwenny!

I told Mr Whitman you were puking your guts up.

He wanted to kill me.

Something really strange happened this time.

Ya, like what?

The liver goes there.

There were two of me.

It can't go on like this.

I want you to call your mum, OK?

Here.

So you're saying, you were

kissing a stranger, at a ball,

you're somewhere back in time and you

can't recall what the guy looked like?

It wasn't doing anything,

it was that strange doppelganger thing.

Okay. Were your eyes opened or closed?

Leslie!

Just concentrate! Was it a first kiss

or a "we've already done this" kiss?

I...

Gwen. Come quickly! We have to go!

So, you mean everything that Aunt Maddy says

isn't nonsence and she isn't crazy after all?

Yes, its true.

I'm taking you to the

Order at Saint-Germain.

To that sect? Right now? Forget it!

They're the only ones

who can control it.

Ya, but it could be that I

don't have it, mom.

Gwendolyn, listen to me, will you?

Its not a game, OK?

Gwendolyn. It could happen to you

again and you could end up anywhere.

Like maybe the Great Fire of

London in 1600's.

Your school uniform

would go up in flames.

Okay. Here we are.

How may I help you?

It's you Ms. Montrose!

Shepherd. I married. I need to

speak to Falk de Villiers, please.

I'm afraid they're in an important meeting.

Tell just tell them that I've brought the Ruby.

Are you serious?

Do you think I'm joking?

How do you know your

way around here?

My father... your Grandfather Lucas

was Grand Master of this Order.

They studied the ancient myths and time

travellers, those who were just like you are.

Well, do you know how many of us there are?

As far as I know, twelve,

and most of them are dead.
