'Using advanced technology to travel into the past.'
'As a training space they select the museum of Adam Bernau.'
'Here the expedition prepares for the trip.'
Expedition To The Past
Directed By
This is the simple,
modest,
office of the genius.
I'll sleep here.
As you can see,
nothing unnecessary.
A desk, a table, a couple of books.
It's almost touching,
that here was born the greatest discoverer of the second millennium.
Our project is travel from our time and go back five hundred years,
to meet with Adam Bernau at the time,
when his first set of notes were burnt.
- But this time they won't burn. - Because we'll put out the fire.
It's not a problem.
We have the right.
The right to alter history.
We're going to see how the house burns down?
Yes, how it burns and soon to correct this historical fact.
Our task is to obtain a notebook,
which was hidden here, at the time of the fire.
Look.
The hiding place used by Adam Bernau at this time,
and later, for his documents.
This was unknown,
to the public and his wife.
How we know... I will explain later.
Don't touch anything!
Sit carefully, it's for sleeping.
It's a trick, I'll explain later.
Clothing, probably from that time. Exhibits only to be used for teaching.
In half an hour we'll meet, dressed for dinner.
From tomorrow at the maintenance centre.
Today, only eggs: how much?
- Perhaps a half. - A quarter.
A half too.
I don't care, I'll cook it, I live in the kitchen.
Look out!
You have to hold onto the railing, steps, don't go down there.
Are you okay?
Yes.
Completely.
Notebook, number one.
He talks about three lost books, maybe...
I'm delighted that at least you remember something.
Please, to your room.
- Perhaps this really... - Sorry.
I'll go if you like.
Alright, now.
But it suits you.
I trust this will do for the egg, I found this in the repository.
Beautiful.
Just turn the *** and it's warm.
For it's time, amazing.
Eggs were then about the size of our radishes.
Really?
I ate some for dinner, six.
What are they?
Forks.
For eating.
Make sure we bring our food pills.
- Kein here. - Dad, we saw you.
You were in the news.
Yes?
- Are you hurt? - Stairs!
After all, you know.
That's them, the best of the best.
Selected by computer C.B.H. to travel back into the past.
Their names will go down in history.
Professor Richard, Emilia Fernandez,
Lee Kein.
Dr Jacques Michell.
The hope for threatened mankind,
Expedition Adam 84.
Now, we drive down the street and stop behind a fence.
The House of Adam Bernau is burning.
Around the house it's chaos, neighbours, firefighters.
We mingle unobtrusively among them.
The house is on fire.
House on fire!
Yeah.
Fire!
Good.
- The Doctor gets going. - Where?
To the first floor for the notebook.
Quick, no time to lose.
Hide.
Let no-one see us.
But it's really burning.
As it will, Doctor; Adam Bearnu's notebook can save humanity!
Fido!
It shouldn't be here.
It will be.
But we haven't practiced a fire.
Hurry up and throw the notebook through the window, into the garden.
I'll be there.
There's nothing here.
No book.
I forgot to return it there.
Good, we managed it in thirty seconds.
Better than last time.
- Karas! - Yes? - Turn off the fire.
You're entering the bathroom of the genius, please don't touch.
In this lavatory,
the so-called 'sink'.
Catalogue number, two hundred and ninety-seventh.
- Today, number eight suit. - It's the training uniform?
Attention, teaching in your sleep.
Transfer vehicles: space and time expired.
'You have reached the roadworks: Bournak - Kamenice.'
'Attention, main road ahead, give way.'
'Attention, lock door when leaving room.'
'Turn key, remove it.'
I thought they were amarouns.
We'll have to get used to it.
These foods must be avoided,
even when we know them.
Back then they ate all sorts of things: roast geese, ducks, heavy meal flour.
We will carry our concentrates with us.
Disguised as cosmetics.
The entire event will take place so quickly.
This is obviously a dummy.
It will all take place so quickly that we shouldn't have to eat.
If we can't eat concentrates.
Eggs or oranges.
Anything with a container or shell.
- What is it? - Your passport.
Not Jacques Michell, but Michael Noll, surveyor, road and motorway constructor.
Born where and when? You find out yourself: learn.
Lee Kein, no: Emil Karas, driver.
- Three children. - Okay.
Emilia Fernandez.
Now Katie Janda, assistant professor.
John Richard, same name, instead of academic: engineer.
- But that's not me. - You.
Learn this by rote.
Whatever happens, don't lose this; in the twentieth century, without papers,
you don't exist.
Richard would appeal.
But I or the Academy can't imagine him as head of the expedition.
- It's late, and he's a great theorist. - But the girl isn't bad, Emilia.
Nice long legs.
I've never seen this before.
What a terrible state.
History's dustbin.
Rockets, bombs.
Incredible that this was once created by people.
Look.
Already colonised by the fish.
The dialectic of time:
life and death.
Protective zone; you voted,
and I thought of this.
Please, for the President of the World Council and his deputy.
Defence Council.
World Council.
Archipenko.
Johannson.
Smith.
Twentieth century.
On the left, the Department of Weapons.
Members of the Defence Council.
We need guns for testing the toughness of the cars.
Eye one, eye two...
Three.
We agree.
This is also...
You mean '***'?
No.
Only in the metaphorical sense.
Morally.
Television eye: mirror transmission.
You could look into other apartments, until they passed the Privacy Law.
Please advise on past currencies.
Nineteen eighty-four.
Check.
Strange, is it not?
Money.
Such miserable paper, but then...
Emilia, sorry, I mean Katie.
Yes?
- You know what this is? - No, what?
Money.
- Money? - Yes, money.
We use this...
To pay.
Pay?
Yes, pay with money.
With five of these,
you could maybe buy...
- A book, jelly. - Is this a game?
People produce things,
then receive money to buy other things, which are usually not needed.
A vicious circle: it's called the economy.
'This is the latest news from the training centre of Expedition Adam 84.'
'This evening,'
'shuttles are bringing other study materials.'
- 'Thanks for the sound letters.' - 'Greetings to Adam'.
- 'We're so proud.' - 'Come back!'
- 'We're thinking of you.' - 'Big thumbs up!'
- 'Sending our possessions!' - 'The most valuable!'
'Save us dolphins.'
'Thanks to Helen, who sent the piano, as a tribute to the song by Debussy.'
'Preparations for the expedition peak.'
'Great care is given to the car,'
'in which the expedition will travel into the past.'
'There now follows prototype testing.'
'Vehicles can change colour, go underground,'
'on water, and underwater.'
'It has many accessories which must remain secret.'
'A control panel system.'
'Walkie-talkies, remote sensors.'
'Archive data, focusing miniaturised crystal records.'
'For convenience, one of the hundreds of thousands of crystals,'
'concentrated inside, is the famous Strahov Library.'
'Expedition equipment is multipurpose.'
'For 20th century people these objects will be unobtrusive: the so-called pen,'
'bracelet.'
'A machine to remove hair.'
'Time calculator.'
'All these things,'
'have built in gadgets.'
'Material for synthetic food manufacture.'
'Hidden cameras.'
'Liquidators.'
'Plus a clandestine radio, allowing the expedition to communicate with us.'
Beautiful!
The principle of the mole, which we developed,
for the industrialisation of the Moon and other planets.
Now he flips.
Nothing.
That'll do for us.
And something engineers learned from old movies.
What we now see are real firearms from the twentieth century.
Here is a safety trial and with me is head academic, Richard.
Before we start, I'll ask him some questions.
Doctor, if you please, the clothes you're wearing,
are actually from nineteen eighty-four?
Sorry, there's no time, we believe our engineers...
Preparations are well underway, according to plan.
What's up with him?
Look at our vehicle:
not a scratch.
Our copy, unlike the historical originals,
guarantees the expedition full security.
Emilia, Katie!
- Leave me alone! - That's how people lived for millennia!
'Your name is Katie Janda.'
'You were born...'
'You live in apartment building,'
'Hradec Kralove, block 'c', number forty-three.'
Good evening.
Our education continues.
Never mind, but please try...
The hair transplantation was somewhat complicated.
But I made the sacrifice.
We carry hair pieces which adapt to the shape of the skull.
Very convenient.
- The hair must be? - Of course.
But on my license, I've got a moustache.
You can drive as well.
Central 'kinetor', movement in time, programmed for nineteen eighty-four.
Twenty seconds before the start, we insert...
Insert into the slot.
This is only a spatial kinetor.
Which is our final test.
- Fifteen seconds. - What?
Look.
You pressed the switch.
This is...
the movement...
of the object.
This object will move a distance,
of one thousand eight hundred and fifty-six kilometres,
to where the Defence Council await in a protected area.
At some point undecided,
barring unexpected complications,
any day now, Expedition Adam 84, will set out on an journey,
unmatched in the history of humanity.
Here are some races.
If you don't sleep, you won't learn, but the pictures are useful.
This is war?
No, it's what we were talking about it.
Look.
This is racing!
What a funny ship.
Parachuting rockets without controls?
That's a risky sport.
Sport?
This is war.
The year is nineteen forty-two.
Those houses, is it an earthquake?
The horror, when people still haven't mastered the laws of nature.
This is...
A sports festival?
- Demonstration. - And why?
What a terrible way to liquidate.
It was a national tradition, entertainment.
They want a job? Were there so few in the world?
We thought...
- There's nothing you haven't shown us. - I've three children.
That was 1945, we'll be transferred elsewhere.
According to the chronicle, there were three car crashes this in this year.
A very quiet town.
One *** in five years, and that was out of jealousy.
What's more, we're only there three or four hours.
Once we have the notebook, we're coming right back.
Just four hours, your parents were on Alpha Centauri for five years.
But they took a flight there, we were chosen by computer.
