On a commercial airline? 205 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,000 Of course not, your private jet 206 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,000 Robert and Kimberly duly cross the Atlantic Ocean in their private jet 207 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:35,000 And have made their way to Pennsylvania State University MIT 208 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:41,000 And the laboratory of Daniel Scott, who they are about to meet for the first time 209 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,000 Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you 210 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,000 Shall we call you Dr Scott? What would you prefer? 211 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,000 Well, this is truly an honour meeting the famous billionaire 212 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,000 Robert Payne and his beautiful wife 213 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,000 The pleasure is all mine 214 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,000 Please, just refer to me as Daniel 215 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:09,000 Now, to get down to business, what brings you two here all the way from London? 216 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:14,000 The brief email tells me that Mrs Pound has taken an interest in my time machine theories 217 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,000 Is that right? What have you learned from it? 218 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,000 Anything? Nothing? 219 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,000 Can I assist with any questions that both of you may have? 220 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,000 I have been reading on your theories for quite a while now 221 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,000 They are truly out of this world, like magical 222 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,000 Do you really believe that you can travel back in time? 223 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,000 We've already built a prototype machine, but it's very basic 224 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,000 We just lack the funding to push things forward, you know 225 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,000 Not that it's a HIN or anything 226 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,000 What do you mean by the word basic? How does it function? 227 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:46,000 Like I said, this is a specialised project and it's only in its infancy 228 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:51,000 This time machine can transport a single atom from any time, like now or in the future 229 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,000 To when the time machine was first switched on 230 00:10:53,000 --> 00:11:00,000 So you're saying that this atom can't go further back in time than the moment the machine was first switched on? 231 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,000 Is that correct? 232 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,000 Correct. Am I disappointing you? 233 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,000 Like I said, we're only in the very early stages 234 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,000 However, with sufficient funding, we could really push things forward 235 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:17,000 We could then evolve the atom into a molecule, then into a cell, then larger 236 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,000 It could take 50 years at this rate, maybe even much longer 237 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,000 Who knows? 238 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,000 What funds would you need to accelerate the process, say, within five years? 239 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,000 Five years? We don't even have the technology to support that 240 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,000 What if you developed that technology? How much? 241 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,000 I don't know, let's see, a lot of money, I guess 242 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,000 Say, 50 million per annum 243 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:47,000 If I gave you 100 million dallons per annum, how long would it take? 244 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:54,000 Oh my word, 100 mil? That's a lot of investment potential for a skunk project like this 245 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,000 But then it would take three years, just to play it safe 246 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:04,000 We could experiment with some of my Matheric type theories, which I believe to be feasible 247 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,000 This would enable time traveller of both non-living and living beings 248 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000 Amazing, really 249 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,000 Sold, I want to retain the patents and will effectively own the business 250 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,000 Do we have ourselves a deal? 251 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,000 An offer I'll be mad to refuse 252 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,000 This is madness 253 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,000 Madness? No, this is science 254 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,000 As a matter of curiosity, how far back in time do you want to go? 255 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:32,000 We'd like to go back to 30 BC, Egypt, Alexandria 256 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,000 30 BC? Not a case of just wanting to be 21 years old again then? 257 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:41,000 No, not exactly, we want to take care of some business 258 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,000 Right, erm, okay, I wish I'd never asked 259 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:53,000 Thank you darling, or you won't regret this, you're amazing 260 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:59,000 Robert and Kimberley's private jet returns them safely home to Greater Britain and leafy Oxshott 261 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:05,000 Where they can only wait and trust that Dr Scott can deliver on his promises 262 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:11,000 But with the passage of the years and the increasingly realistic prospect of travelling back through time 263 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:16,000 Their thoughts naturally turn once more to Cleopatra and Mark Antony 264 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:23,000 After the defeat of Antony at the Battle of Actium, Octavian proclaims himself Emperor of Rome 265 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,000 Taking for himself the name of Augustus 266 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:32,000 And it is now that Robert and Kimberley begin planning their revenge against Augustus 267 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,000 The time machine has progressed rather well over the last few months 268 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,000 It's amazing to see what money can accomplish 269 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:45,000 But what's our next plan? Let's say Daniel builds a machine and it is successful 270 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:50,000 Now in that case, what will happen to us when we travel back through time? 271 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:56,000 Will we automatically merge into Mark Antony's and Cleopatra's bodies as they were in the BC years? 272 00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:01,000 Or will we just observe them as we do now? I am curious 273 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:08,000 We don't want to upset the universe by causing time ripples or anything like that or create any paradoxes 274 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:14,000 We should get advice from Daniel over that and dive into his theoretical calculations as a safety precaution 275 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,000 So what's our plan? 276 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,000 We'll let Mark Antony and Cleopatra take their own lives just the way it happened in history 277 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:27,000 But we will create genetically superior human beings so formidable that Augustus' legions will fear them forever 278 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:33,000 Initially, we'll send these designer babies back in time to test if it's safe to go back in that period 279 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:38,000 We'll keep them undercover and when the time is right they will ambush Augustus' legions in Rome 280 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,000 We will thus have our revenge 281 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,000 How many legionaries does Augustus have? 282 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:52,000 160,000 in all maybe. We will have one million in our army. He will be annihilated 283 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:59,000 One million? Wouldn't it just be easier to rewrite time or use our modern weapons to defeat them? 284 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,000 They could be wiped out in the blink of an eye 285 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:09,000 But Robert, where's the fun in that and hey, what about creating potential paradoxes if we just carry out mass slaughter? 286 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:16,000 Remember, I love this period and I want to live in it again rather than today's stale and mechanical world 287 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:21,000 But a million, Kim. There's a lot of replications happening there in the test tube 288 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:28,000 I guess I could have a word with the CEO, Clive Parker, from GZT Laboratories in New Zealand 289 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:35,000 He would know a thing or two about how to achieve this scientific genetic target and replication harvesting process 290 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,000 But how on earth are you going to hide one million babies? 291 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:44,000 We will create them in Egypt in a high security underground vault in the desert 292 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:51,000 No one will suspect a thing. Of course, we'll have to build the building first 293 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:56,000 Hmm. And how are we going to manage raising so many babies? 294 00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:00,000 Like you said, these designer babies can be designed from the ground up 295 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,000 They will be harvested and grown in human pods until they hit 20 years of age 296 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:09,000 Their minds will be programmed as though they have experienced life to their fullest 297 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:15,000 But their designed, accelerated metabolisms will grow five years equivalent for every year they spend in their pods 298 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,000 The whole growing process will just take around four years 299 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:24,000 They will have all different minds, personalities, eye color, hair, posture 300 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:29,000 In other words, they will all be unique. Call it the fast track route 301 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,000 What do you think about that, Robert? 302 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,000 This building must be large, more like a giant underground stadium 303 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,000 But my construction business can sort all this out 304 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:45,000 All affordable though. A few billion pennons. All because Augustus needs to be brought to his knees 305 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:55,000 Well, that's a given. An absolute given. 306 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:20,000 Designer baby, designer baby, designer baby 307 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:27,000 New eyes, green eyes, blonde hair, brown hair 308 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:34,000 Big boy, little girl, white skin, black skin 309 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:41,000 Smart boy, dumb boy, shy girl, cheeky girl 310 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:46,000 Big hands, little hands, hot toes, no toes 311 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:23,000 Designer baby, designer baby, designer baby 312 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,000 Designer baby 313 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:42,000 Root boy, tanger, cowboy, cowgirl 314 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:49,000 Smooth skin, rough skin, cute smile, nice face 315 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:56,000 No hair or hair, pretty face tonight 316 00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:23,000 Designer baby, designer baby, designer baby 317 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:51,000 Designer baby, designer baby, designer baby 318 00:19:53,000 --> 00:20:10,000 Robert and Kimberly have realised that they must now raise 12 billion pennons 319 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:15,000 to pay for their designer army and Daniel Scott's time machine 320 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:23,000 Rob, through his business enterprises encompassing computer hardware design, engineering, construction and manufacturing 321 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,000 has already accumulated 3.7 billion pennons 322 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:34,000 Then, as a promotional tactic, he decides he will try to buy the Formula One motor racing brand 323 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:40,000 and at the same time to become one of the Formula One drivers for a period of seven years 324 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:50,000 Thus, later that year Robert Pine and Albert Ecclestone XII are to be found discussing the purchase of the Formula One brand 325 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:56,000 Good morning Mr. Pine, how are you? I hope you had a pleasant journey to Bahrain 326 00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:02,000 Yes, thank you Mr. Ecclestone. With the Sonic train it just took under 45 minutes 327 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:07,000 but when the train hits Mach 5 in the vacuum tunnel I always get a little nervous 328 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:13,000 It sort of puts me on edge. Yeah, it's so fast it looks as though you're travelling backwards doesn't it? 329 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:17,000 Ah, the aliasing effect, yes, I know it well 330 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,000 I find it helps if you don't look out the window whilst in the tunnel 331 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,000 Anyhow, I guess we should knuckle down to business, what do you say? 332 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:31,000 No problem. Now look, we believe that Formula One is worth quite a sum 333 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:36,000 You would obviously have to keep the shareholders satisfied and there are a fixed set of regulations put in place 334 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:41,000 This is after all a rather old sport originating from the 20th century 335 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,000 We've always tried keeping it original and raw 336 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:50,000 There's too much perfection in our modern world and that's why the attraction lies in the imperfection 337 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,000 Give me a quote Albert, how much are you looking at? 338 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:59,000 Well, the board of directors put a value of 9.7 billion pennons on the Formula One brand 339 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,000 Is this an acceptable figure? 340 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:06,000 In all honesty, no. I've had a chat with my solicitor 341 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:13,000 and we have agreed that there has been a downturn in the popularity of the sport in the last five years 342 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:18,000 More and more people are moving over to space racing across the universe 343 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:24,000 The number of fans have dwindled from 850 million to a mere 290 million 344 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:31,000 Because of this, we believe that it is now worth 6,900,000,000 pennons 345 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,000 What do you say? 346 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:38,000 Well, the board will never go for that, but you do have a strong point 347 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:44,000 Let's meet halfway, say 7,065,000,000 pennons. Do we have ourselves a deal? 348 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:52,000 That's a little higher than what I was hoping for, but oh what the heck, it's a deal 349 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,000 What's a few million between friends? 350 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:59,000 Welcome aboard. Upon you signing this contract and transferring the money 351 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,000 you'll then be the proud new owner of the Formula One brand 352 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,000 Thank you very much 353 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,000 Over the following seasons, Rob's driving is exceptional 354 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:18,000 and coming to the last race of the season, he is neck and neck with four other drivers in the race to become Formula One World Champion 355 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:23,000 The competition is extremely aggressive and just before the final race 356 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:27,000 Rob and his race engineer Don Tolbert are talking tactics 357 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,000 Rob, how are you feeling about the race mate? 358 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:35,000 Confident. I think I have it all memorised in my head 359 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,000 The car feels good and I'm feeling fit 360 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:42,000 I guess I have a few nerves though with the finals and all that 361 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,000 That's perfectly normal.
