I'm worried about you.
And Barker says, are you afraid for my safety?
And Hensher says, yes.
You know, this is a subject that he's been studying for the last four years, and suddenly he's been told that he's in danger.
And you can tell he's unsettled by it, but he's also desperately curious about it and sort of wants to see what's going to happen.
You know, he talks about taking precautions.
He talks about...
contacting Hensher and kind of asking his advice about things.
It's sort of where the experiment starts to break down between the kind of the experimenter and the subject.
She dreams about Barker in the large black car arriving to sort of take Barker off, and she recounts these to him.
It's a stressful time.
It's a stressful time, there's no question, because Barker is, he's under huge pressure at work.
He publishes his book.
He's told off, he's reprimanded by his boss and by the kind of local National Health Board supervisors for sort of straying out of his lane.
And yeah, and he's getting these warnings for his life at the same time.
It was definitely a sort of failure in a sort of objective sense of the thing that they wanted to build, you know, a kind of national early warning system with the nation sending in their dreams and presentments and feeding this into a sort of 1960s room-shaped computer.
That never came to pass.
I think that it succeeded in the sense of...
giving a kind of home for these questions, acknowledging that prophecy and seeing the future.
It's a central part of how every human culture has tried to make sense of the future and to think about time.
