l'm the archeologist,

lt was carved that way,

- Fair enough,

- Trust me,

Who do you think they were?

Why would somebody that doesn't

give a sh*t be concerned with that?

- Because l'm intrigued, all right?

- See?

- What you wanted to hear?

- Yeah,

We're all intrigued by this,

That's why we're all here,

lt's not just about the rocks

and the rubble,

lt's about these people,

Who were they?

And what were their stories?

lt helps us to understand where we

came from, or where we're going,

- You know what l like to say,

- ''You make your own history,''

- Do l say it that often?

- Yeah, all the time,

Well, whoever they were,

they made theirs

together,

lt's best to go really, really slow,

lt's better to be cautious,

Come on, Hurry up!

Cave-in at the monastery!

Cave-in at the monastery!

l was standing and the floor gave way

underneath my feet,

- How long has it been open?

- 15 minutes,

We have five minutes

before oxygen contamination,

- Let's move it,

- Be careful,

- lt's under where l was working,

- l don't know about this,

Can everybody listen up?

Let's be careful, we got that?

l've got your back, Be safe,

- Who's going in first?

- OK, let's go,

- Who's going down first?

- l am,

- On belay! On Kate!

- OK, take me down nice and slow,

- Give me a radio check,

- Please be careful,

- OK, one-two. Do you read me?

- We're good,

That's good,

Just keep it steady,

- Lower Kate down,

- Lower me down,

Easy, guys,

Nice and slow,

Nice and slow,

l'm getting close to the first level,

- Easy!

- Bring me down, guys,

- A little more on Marek,

- Smell the stale air,

Kate, be careful down there,

l'm down, Oh, my God, This is

right below where l was working,

Are you all right?

What's going on?

''All right?'' ''All right'' is not the word,

- One,,,

- Give me slack on the rope,

- More slack!

- Come on, guys,

- Oh, my God,

- This is unbelievable,

We are the first people in this room

for 600 years,

These,,,

These,,,

,,,are beautiful,

You won't believe the condition

of these,,,

- What have you got?

- Come here,

No way, This is too much,

Oh, my God,

- What is it?

- Oh, my God,

An old document box,

We've got an oilskin

with documents inside,

- Look at the condition of this thing!

- OK, let's be really careful,

Quick, get the bag,

- l can't believe this,

- That is gonna be such a find,

Careful, careful, careful,

Let's get this up,

l need the light for a minute,

Oh, my God,

Oh, my God,

- Oh, man!

- Give me the light,

- What kind of,,,

- lt's amazing,

,,,son of a b*tch would deliberately

damage something so beautiful?

Obviously not an archeologist,

We've gotta get out of here,

Let's go!

Guys, we're coming up!

Pull it up! Come on!

We want to go up quick, OK?

- Hold this,

- What are you doing, Marek?

- lt's OK,

- What are you doing?

lt's definitely a modern-day

bifocal lens,

l know, And bifocals weren't invented

until the mid-1 700s,

The hole only opened up

today, Stern,

There's been nobody down

that chamber before Kate and l,

lf you think that's weird,

you'll love this,

- What is this?

- One of the documents you found,

lt's just a simple list of the things

stored in there, Nothing special,

And then we found this, Look,

The professor?

''Help me''?

''E,A, Johnston''?

- ''4/2/1357''?

- 1357,

- E,A, Johnston,

- What is going on?

l cross-matched the signatures,

lt's definitely his handwriting,

But he's only been gone for two days,

Your father wrote that,

but he wrote it 600 years ago,

What's going on here?

Franois is looking for his spare pair,

l'll see if the prescriptions match,

So you're telling me this is the

professor's and it's 600 years old?

- What have you been smoking?

- Maybe you can explain,

lf l knew, l'd explain it, All l know

is that the ink is 600 years old,

l know, This is my father,

This is him,

- He's just playing a prank,

- No! No, there is no way

he would risk contaminating the site

as a joke, He just wouldn't,

- Did you carbon-date the ink?

- Of course,

- There's got to be another reason,

- l did it three times,

Like l just said,

your father wrote that note,

but he wrote it 600 years ago,

l don't care about lTC's policies,

l'm his son, l wanna talk to him now,

l found the professor's glasses,

They were on his desk,

lt's a perfect match, Look,

We should do an optical test

to make sure,

l'm sick of this, Either somebody

tell me where Professor Johnston is

or l report a kidnapping

to the authorities,

Have l made myself clear?

Just tell us when and where,

What is it?

Doniger's sending a plane for us,

We're going to New Mexico?

Let's pack up, guys,

Good morning,

Steven Kramer, lTC,

Frank Gordon, security,

- Where's my dad?

- You'll see your dad shortly,

- Where's Doniger at?

- Doniger's waiting inside,

- Mr, Kramer will explain everything,

- Tell me,

How come we have

a 600-year-old document

- with his handwriting?

- Pleading for help,

l'll explain as soon

as we get through security,

lTC is constantly advancing itself

in science,

30 years ago, the business world

was revolutionized with a machine

that sent documents anywhere

with the push of a button,

Doniger's vision was to do that

with 3-D objects,

- Like a fax or something?

- Exactly,

He's trying to send actual objects

from one place to another?

- Follow me,

- But that's impossible,

He would need a quantum computer

with millions of processors,

We used them to build a machine that

could fax three-dimensional objects,

l'll explain these mirrors later, lt would

put FedEx and UPS out of business,

- You actually made it work?

- Yes,

Across a room,

But we wanted to send things

across continents

so we built a bigger machine,

This is the prototype,

The prototype?

So that thing that we just passed,,,

- Exactly,

- ,,,is the real thing?

We gave it a thousand times

more power.

We tried to send something

from New Mexico

to a twin machine at a lab

in New York City,

Now, here's the interesting part,

The package never arrived

at its destination,

A few hours later,

it showed up back here,

Wait a minute, So if it went missing

between New Mexico and New York,

- where did it go in the meantime?

- We asked the same question,

So we sent out a camera

over and over,

and we got back photos of the

same location, a hillside with trees,

That's when Mr, Doniger

made the brilliant decision

to point the camera straight up,

So once we cross-referenced

star charts to the horizon,

we realized that the camera

was not only in the wrong place,

- but it was in the wrong time,

- So, what does that mean?

The camera was taking photographs

of a wilderness

near Castlegard, France

in the year 1357,

So you're saying you accidentally

discovered time travel?

No, we accidentally discovered

a wormhole,

A wormhole that seems to be locked

to a single time and place in the past:

1357, Castlegard,

So you faxed my father's glasses and
