I did all the tests.

Chemical evidence, spectroscopic.

This photograph is at

least 100 years old.

There is no doubt.

What is your problem?

Look at the revolver

in his hands.

Yes.

Suppose I tell you

that the pistol is a...

357 Magnum revolver.

Made in 1980.

Scott you could tell me that it is

a watering can...

and I wouldn't know the difference.

But what I do know is that this picture

is at least 100 years old.

TIME TRAVEL ?

THEORY OR POSSIBILITY

Many scientists,

this last century...

including Einstein,

have provided us with data...

indicating that someday time...

might be manipulated.

We've explored the

possibility of an advancement ...

in weaponry in 1886

remaining undetected and unexploited.

But we discounted that

as an impossibility.

I promised you that today

we would have a departure.

I think the way I planned it was

that we would have a mystery...

in history

Now,

Definitely a mystery in history.

Next time I give a history class.

remind me not to do it

in a physics building.

You all have those

folders before you...

containing my thesis.

Are there any comments?

Any questions?

Should I interpret this

as an awed silence?

OK, professor.

You're joking, right?

I mean you've got to be joking.

- No.

- Time Travel?

What is this? Like April fool's day?

Very funny, Frank.

Are there any serious questions?

Yes. Can you take me back

to last Saturday night?

Please don't.

You're going somewhere,

Mr. Esterman?

Professor, with all due respect.

The hour is up.

It was heavy enough

reading the notes...

without contnuing analysing...

I have other classes to be thinking.

I would have thought

you'd be more receptive.

Receptive to logic, professor.

Fine, that's it for today.

Today, professor,

or tomorrow?

- Or yesterday?

- Or last year?

That's very funny.

It's a pity you get...

no notes for cynicism.

A TIME TRAVELLER IN 1886?

DR. SCOTT MCKENZIE.

Perhaps I should knock.

Who are you?

My name is Georgia,

Georgia Crawford.

How can I help you?

I have come a long way

to see you, professor.

I read your report, your thesis.

You and I are doing research

along the same lines.

Don't tell me.

You gonna draw on me??

Of course not.

I would like to see the phioto, please.

What photo?

The one you showed

the jesters in class.

Why do you want to see it?

I am a person who shares

your obsession...

on the old west.

Your thesis fascinates me.

I need to use your instincts...

to balance mine.

Professor Mckenzie,

I believe you.

- You are from the east, right?

- What?

I know a little bit about accents.

Yiou're from the east, right?

Right, yes. Right.

The east.

Did you run all the tests?
