[00:01.073]Tea, Uncle?
[00:01.770]Thank you, Mary. Now, Minister, do you understand my role here?
[00:05.485]-Spiritual guidance? -Moral guidance, actually. There's a difference.
[00:09.644]Trouble with the military is that since the war they think they're untouchable.
[00:12.867]I keep telling the Vicar that I'm not military, Sir Jeffery, for all the good it does.
[00:16.011]You're still taking their money, Doctor Stone.
[00:17.903]Still utilising their equipment. Coercing me in to helping you.
[00:21.167]I didn't notice it took much coercing, actually, Matthew.
[00:23.899]You see, Sir Jeffery, under that smock beats the heart of a man of science.
[00:29.228]I'm a man of God, Doctor Stone, albeit one with an open mind.
[00:32.428]After the events of the last decade you'll be surprised how many men of the cloth have closed theirs.
[00:37.067]Well, quite.
[00:38.363]You see, Sir Jeffery, we lost so much. So many young lives it caused much questioning of faith.
[00:43.694]I mean, if God exists, if God loves us, why does he let us kill one another.
[00:48.328]It was a question that came up many times at the Synod last year.
[00:51.166]And where do you fit into that?
[00:52.597]My faith is still strong, Corporal, but I like to take an interest in the modern world.
[00:56.661]God isn't all hymns and long Bible passages, you know.
[00:59.378]It's about living, about smelling the flowers, enjoying friendships.
[01:02.844]It's about seeing beyond the here and now and embracing all that is positive in life
[01:06.962]whilst helping others do deal with the negatives.
[01:08.931]Don't be put off by Uncle Matthew. He's a bit preachy, but underneath it all he's all right.
[01:14.017]-Right. You must be Mary Elson, then. -That's right. Tea? -Thank you.
[01:20.128]-It's the war. -What war? -Sorry?
[01:22.578]Obviously, I mean, yes, of course, the war. Sorry.
[01:26.134]I mean, what is it about the war that has made him a bit preachy?
[01:30.178]Well, you lot, really.
[01:32.198]Us lot? Oh. Oh! The Ministry. Right. Why?
[01:37.214]Well, your boss, Sir Jeffery Lawrence, has been hounding Doctor Stone for months,
[01:41.761]ever since she made her discovery.
[01:43.647]Discovery? Oh yes, of course.
[01:46.178]Tell me, did the Doctor ever explain to you what exactly her discovery was?
[01:51.317]-It's. Not really, She calls it the Dionysus Project. -Yes, we know that.
[01:57.364]-Oh, Sir Jeffery! You gave me such a start. -Yes, me too.
[02:01.346]The Minister and I were just discussing their next wave of funding, Mary.
[02:04.411]I'm afraid the government have decided to keep Doctor Stone's work going,
[02:07.011]which means we have to stay here a few months longer,
[02:09.052]-I don't mind, Uncle. -I'm glad one of us doesn't.
[02:11.649]You want to leave, Vicar?
[02:13.315]You ask a lot of questions for a lowly Corporal, Pollard.
[02:15.429]Best way to get answers. The Minister encourages it.
[02:18.217]Does he really? Why am I not surprised.
[02:20.278]Of course, Reverend, that device in the lab could stop the Commies taking over,
[02:25.950]avoid a Cold War that could last oh, decades.
[02:29.978]Depends how it's used really. -How does it work?
[02:32.078]I should have thought that were it essential to your ability to do your job, Corporal,
[02:36.227]you would already have that information at your fingertips.
[02:39.444]Your device, Doctor Stone, seems to work.
[02:43.430]Yes, it did this afternoon, and now I am really quite worried.
[02:46.263]Why, Uncle?
[02:47.264]Because, dear Mary, I fear Doctor Stone is making a deal with the devil. Figuratively, obviously.
[02:52.416]Poppycock, Vicar. The work here's of paramount importance to peace, surely?
[02:57.050]With all due respect, Minister, that's nonsense and you know it.
[02:59.496]When I was asked to partake in these researches there was never any application for war.
[03:03.228]Then you came along, you and Churchill's henchmen, and forced Doctor Stone to diverge.
[03:07.151]Diverge?
[03:08.235]Once I met a man called Avery, who I believe is destined for a great future.
[03:11.747]Together we discussed the discoveries of Miescher and suchlike, but slowly.
[03:15.996]The Reverend thinks the science of genetics is an affront to God.
[03:20.145]What I think, Doctor Stone, is that you are required to take science forward step by step.
[03:23.411]Required by whom, exactly?
[03:25.181]By society. By morality. By God.
[03:27.811]This would be the same God who created the dinosaurs and then let
[03:30.829]them fade out because they weren't fit to survive.
[03:32.748]Or are the researches of Darwin the devil's work too?
[03:36.328]Just because I am a priest, Doctor, doesn't automatically make me a Creationist.
[03:39.762]-Or an idiot, which your tone suggests. -Hmph.
[03:42.661]Then why are you here, helping with her, her thing?
[03:47.534]I am fascinated by the fact that however you deconstruct and reconstruct,
[03:50.895]the basics of human science are the same.
[03:52.936]Why have we evolved with two arms, two legs, two lungs, two kidneys, two eyes, two ears?
[03:56.695]Why do all mammals have the same basic construction? One heart, one brain, one liver.
[04:00.712]Why are we all the same?
[04:02.598]Is it as Darwin surmised because we have all evolved from the same amoeba?
[04:05.695]If so, why do spiders have eight legs, flies a multitude of eyes?
[04:09.311]Why did his precious dinosaurs have two brains?
[04:11.765]I am stronger, more resilient than a spider. I have outlived the dinosaurs. Why?
[04:16.050]Well, I, I don't know. But then I didn't know dinosaurs had two brains.
[04:21.612]I wanted to find out. I had to know. So when I heard that Doctor Stone's researches
[04:25.629]were leading her towards the secrets of the universe
[04:27.661]What? That's taking it a bit far, Matthew.
[04:30.064]I'd have been here a lot sooner but I had things to take care of, things that got in the way like, well, anyway.
[04:36.145]Like, like me?
[04:38.311]Reverend!
[04:39.781]I'm sorry, Uncle. I didn't realise I was in the way.
[04:45.101]It's not your fault, Mary. If my stupid brother hadn't insisted on going for late night drives in that car of his.
[04:50.761]But Father was
[04:51.763]But it was just a small hindrance and I still got posted here shortly after.
[04:55.150]I should have thought a grieving niece more important than any work, Reverend. The government's or God's.
[05:01.395]You don't understand, do you. Stone had her project green-lit.
[05:04.261]Dionysus. With this I can reach out into the stars to find the answers to the
[05:08.034]questions that plague me as a man of God and a man of Humanity.
[05:11.813]What?
[05:12.863]I believe the answers are out there. The answers to why we are the way we are. To who we are.
[05:17.913]-I don't understand. -Ezekiel. -Sorry?
[05:20.161]The Prophet. Claimed he was visited by angels on chariots.
[05:23.463]But what if they were aliens from out there somewhere?
[05:26.395]Mankind might have started on another planet.
[05:28.695]They may have seeded this and countless other worlds.
[05:31.479]Why would they do that?
[05:32.548]It's a plan, I believe. They want to see who survives, who drops away.
[05:35.612]Darwin's theories but magnified to unthinkable lengths.
[05:38.646]But where does God fit into all of this?
[05:40.795]No. More importantly, where do I fit into all this?
[05:44.594]I'm sorry, Mary, but I don't see why
[05:46.497]No. No, you don't. Which is just my point.
[05:50.467]Oh, young girls.
[05:51.362]-Mary. Mary, come here. -No! No! -Oh. I'll go after her.
[05:56.129]-I knew she'd never understand. -You hoped she would?
[05:58.929]My work, the Dionysus Project, it will answer almost every question the universe has to offer.
[06:04.579]And the military application of the Dionysus Project has, of course, even more potential.
[06:09.613]Military?
[06:10.649]Oh, yes. Early this evening, we tore a slight hole in, in something.
[06:16.630]Whatever it was, you heard and felt the effects. For a brief moment we saw the air split apart.
[06:23.245]Behind it there was something. Something wonderful.
[06:27.366]Aim that at Moscow, activate the beam and, well, no more Cold War.

Tea, Uncle?

-Spiritual guidance? -Moral guidance, actually. There's a difference.
