and I don't think we should be

in here when it happens

because it might not be safe.

- Come on. Come on with me.

- What?

Come on.

Come on. Down here, come on.

Here, get up against the wall here.

I think we're safe here,

we're out of the main flow of traffic.

- What's gonna happen?

- Well, when we flew

through the time-rip going east,

we went back in time

into the past about 15 minutes.

Do you remember me saying that?

- I do.

- It brought us into the future.

That's it, isn't it? This time-rip

brought us into the future.

I believe so.

Only we haven't returned to a dead

world that's moved on without us,

we've returned to a world

that's waiting to be born.

Look at that.

I don't know what it is,

but it's wonderful. I love it.

I think that the present is on the verge

of catching up to us.

I think she's gone.

I really don't think

that option is viable.

Okay, hang on. There might

be a jerk or something.

Look. Brian, look.

Daddy.

Dad.

- Daddy.

- What? I'm looking for your mother.

New people.

Look at the new people.

Yeah, great. Come on,

let's go find your mom.

Did you hear that?

- Did you hear what she said?

- Yes.

Is that who we are? The new people?

Are we the new people?

- I don't know. That's what it feels like.

- That was wonderful.

My God, that was

the most wonderful thing.

Cool.

Captain, what do you think

we should do now?

Well, I wanna go outside,

breathe some fresh air.

- Yes.

- And look at the sky.

Yes, but we should notify

the authorities...

Oh, we will, we will. The sky first.

And maybe get something

to eat on the way?

Yes, why not?

Hey, my watch has stopped.

- Mine too.

- Yeah.

Let's blow this joint. Unless any of you

wanna take the next flight east.

Not now, but soon.

And all the way to England.

There's a man I need

to see there in Fluting.

The old people still call him

the gaffer.

What are you talking about?

Daisies.

I'm talking about daisies.

Come on. Come on, let's go.

As for me, the next time I go to Boston,

I'm gonna take a slow train.

Yeah. Bob, you're gonna get over that.

- People. People, Bethany.

- I know. I'm so happy.

Yeah!
