Rubinrot

Synopsis: Gwendolyn Shepherd is actually a very normal 16-year-old teen. What's annoying is that her family definitely has a tad too many secrets. They all have to do with the time-travel gene that is passed down in the family. Everyone is certain that Gwen's cousin Charlotte has the gene, and so everything is all Charlotte, all the time. Until the day Gwen, out of the clear blue sky, suddenly finds herself in London at the end of the 19th century. She knows right away that she, and not Charlotte, was born to be a time traveler - even if she could certainly do without it. Just as she could do without Charlotte's arrogant boyfriend Gideon de Villiers, with whom she now has to forge an alliance in order to clear up the biggest secret of her family history. One thing is clear: she will do everything possible to solve the ancient mysteries. What isn't clear is that one should not fall in love between the times. For that really makes things complicated!

This way! Quick.

They're catching up, Paul.

Go that way.

Don't let them get away!

That Way!

Hurry!

Paul!

Gwendolyn will be safe now.

Grace will protect her.

Give up now!

Never!

16 YEARS LATER

Living with my grandmother,

Lady Arista, is a real drag.

I have to deal with attitudes

from the nineteenth century...

...and a cousin who thinks

she's the eighth wonder of the world.

Charlotte, my dear!

Come.

Charlotte suffers from

a rare genetic defect

which apparently

makes her very precious.

She can't be...

Well lets just say she's not

like other children.

For as long as I can remember,

they've all made a big secret of it.

My Great-Aunt Maddy thinks

that one day this gene will

allow her to "travel through time".

But Maddy's always had a thing

for the supernatural.

A life of great responsibility now

awaits my lovely granddaughter here.

Here's to you!

Here! Here!

My mother and my brother Nick

at least try to be reasonably normal,

but in this family

that's practically impossible.

Gwendolyn, can't you put that

camera away?

Gwendolyn, we're having cake!

And that's me,

I'm known as the black sheep

of the family.

Oh Qwenny! You shouldn't try to

compensate your ordinary looks

with tacky clothing!

You'll never find a date

for the St Lennox's ball like that.

Nice party, Charlotte.

Can't imagine anything so exciting.

Gwendolyn

Silence is a virtue

that a lady of your age

should should have mastered by now.

Didn't I send your mother enough money

to buy you descent clothes for this dear?

Mom's right, your birthday's

tomorrow, isn't it?

There'll be leftovers.

It'd be a shame

to throw everything away.

Gideon! How lovely!

Lady Arista.

Gideon. Hi.

Happy Birthday! Thank you.

Would you be so kind as to get us

three glasses of champagne, please?

Ya... What?

Ya, why not...

How embarrassing!

Gwendolyn, really!

They all think

I'm a complete moron.

And unfortunately

I sometimes feel they're right.

Is that him, with the ponytail?

Hmm. He looks great with

Charlotte, right?

Do you think they're together?

I don't really care.

If she with him, they

deserve each other.

At least his ugly suit is ruined now.

Mr Bernhard, the dress!

Gwen!

Crazy!

Your family has more secrets than the

secret service and MI6 put together.

This is better than any soap opera.

Great dress.

Where are they taking Charlotte?

The Temple.

The Order of Count Saint-Germain.

What kind of order? Like a secret order?

They're a bunch of

fanatical old conspirators

who think they're incredibly important.

How's he involved?

Ya! Is he one of those guys?

Gideon de Villiers also has a

problem, much like Charlotte's.

So then he also carries the

extra special gene, I take it?

In the de Villiers family, the

gene's passed down the male side.

In the Montrose family,

down the female side...

That's none of our business.

And fortunately,

it's not our problem!

The Guardians of the Order

have been working towards

this moment for centuries.

Now we are about to witness

the last member

of the Circle of Blood shine.

"Time is in flux.

The Ruby marks the Alpha

and the end is foretold."

So did you find out what went

on with Charlotte at the Order?

They don't tell me anything.

Can you ask Maddy?

Not very reliable!

Last week she said I was going to

be queen of the ball, according

to what read in the stars, ha, ha!

And this morning she read

in her tea leaves that it...

that it would rain beans for me today.

Not again.

Who can actually eat this stuff,

anyway?

Do you want my food too,

cover your blouse?

No, thanks.

So embarrassing, Gwenny!

Just ignore her.

I talked to Gordon, okay.

He's got a stepbrother who might

go to the ball with you.

Except, he's in Essex... you'd have

to cover his costs to get here.

Gwenny? I won't be going to the

ball anyway.

Hey, Gwenny! Watch out!

Are you crazy?

You can talk, you're the one

with the genetic mutation.

It is a gift, Gwendolyn.

It's all connected to your

birthday, isn't that right?

Are you in pain?

I mean, did they do any kind of

experiment or something?

And, and that guy...

Was he with you?

Gideon? Naturally!

Gideon and I have trained for

our roles for years.

Together.

Well?

Charlotte. Say something honey.

I'm still here, as you can see.

Are you dizzy?

They said that's how it starts.

Charlotte... Gwendolyn, go to your

room and play. Mr. Bernheart?

Gwendolyn, my angel. Come and

sit with me,

Keep me company, a bit.

Say something, my dear.

Glenda makes me really nervous!

You feel something, don't you?

I don't know.

Where's Lady Arista?

Your grandmother's in there

on the phone.

But I can't hear because

she's so quiet.

What if...

... we saw Charlotte vanished into

thin air, right in front of our eyes?

The de Villiers are expecting us

at the Temple. Come along.

So arrogant, the de Villiers.

Why is everyone's so sure that

Charlotte's the one

who inherited the gene?

I refuse to say another word.

Your grandmother would kill

me if I said anything at all.

Except there was an astronomical

occurance that day when Charlotte was born.

Mr. Newton envisioned

the date of her birth.

You mean our milkman? That Mr. Newton?

No, Isaac Newton,

the mathematician.

Sometimes it's better if you don't

know the truth. It's safer.

The Order...

...it has a time machine...

...underground.

They call it a "chronograph".

Hmm. Ya, right.

I've heard that before.

Oh, there all gone.

Go down to the shop and get some

more for me? Would you do that?

I want to go out and get some air.

I'll get the candy.

Don't you feel well, dear?

Help! I need help! Thief!

She tried to rob me! She's a thief!

Won't someone help me?

She's a thief! Thief!

Young lady. Give that to me!

I'm sorry...

Why does it stink so bad here?

She appeared out of nowhere!

She's a thief! She tried to rob me!

Me! I did not!

Are you serious?

Is she a lunatic? She's a lunatic!

Just what are you doing here?

Where do you live?

I, I live right here! That's my room!

You live here? In this house?

You'll see what we do with people

like you. Someone stop her!

It was awful!

They were going to put me in jail,

or in an insane asylum!

You went to another time!

Ya, or else I'm crazy, like those guys

who say they were abducted by aliens

in the desert.

And I don't know whats better. Going

crazy or traveling to another time.

You realize that you have the

gene, not Charlotte!

It's like a time travel defect.

It makes sense!

No! No! That can't be true,

it can't be me!

Isaac Newton's never wrong, is he?

Oh, the guy with the apple and gravity.

Blah, blah, blah... he had a lot

on his plate.

"Transcendence of all spirals,

quadratics, optics... blah, blah, blah..."

"...the law of gravitation".

So, "Transcendence of all spirals"

seams like the closest, right?

No, not really.

And, you think Gideon might also

do this too?

Yeah, you two can travel

through time together.

I can just picture you guys holding
