But the refinery site was a mistake.
Ben's been filling me in.

1:37:04
Ben has eight unplotted objects
in this very sky.

1:37:08
We're doing a scan tonight.
1:37:10
The acquisition's
at an advanced stage, sir.

1:37:13
Oh, I want this place, Macintyre.
1:37:15
But tell Crabbe to start rethinking
the refinery site tomorrow.

1:37:19
I see a kind of an institute here,
a place for research and study,

1:37:25
an observatory, so to speak,
1:37:27
with radio and optical telescopes.
1:37:30
And after a while, we can branch out.
1:37:33
The sea, sir! This is a natural place
for a marine laboratory.

1:37:37
We've some data in Aberdeen.
1:37:39
The North Atlantic Drift fetches up
things here from all over the world.

1:37:45
Sea and sky.
1:37:46
I like that.
1:37:48
We can do good things here.
1:37:50
You could call it
the Happer Institute, sir.

1:37:54
You might be right.
Might be just the name for it.

1:37:57
Says it all. Good thinking, uh...
1:38:00
- Oldsen, sir.
- Oldsen, you stay here with me.

1:38:03
Macintyre, Crabbe will need you.
1:38:06
Take the chopper to Aberdeen.
Get over to Houston.

1:38:09
Tell Crabbe to get thinking along the
lines of an offshore establishment,

1:38:14
but just for storage - and to put
the refinery nearer the models.

1:38:17
- Tonight, sir?
- The sooner the better.

1:38:20
And Macintyre, get yourself a shave.
1:38:27
What's this laboratory thing?
You didn't tell me about that.

1:38:32
Something I've been piecing together.
1:38:35
Geddes' people are on it.
Remember the girl?

1:38:38
Oh, yeah, the girl.
1:38:40
Macintyre. You'd better get moving.
1:38:42
I'm glad I managed to stop
your refinery caper.

1:38:46
Oldsen...
1:38:49
Get my overcoat.
1:38:51
Prepare some food for later.
1:38:53
- Ben and I will be on the telescope.
- Yes, Mr Happer.

1:38:56
Oldsen,
I could grow to love this place.
