As I said last week, some of the events seen in the film can be timed to the hour, the minute, and even the second they occurred, For example:
"Time" the time they occurred.
"Distance" the distance Kevin (Chris Pitt) supposedly traveled in that time.
"Mercy Farm" the distance he is from Mercy Parm. He starts a sixth of a mile east of it. A negative number is how far past of it he is. Distance given in feet.
"Intersection" the distance he is from the intersection. He starts a third of a mile east of it. A negative number is how far past of it he is. Distance given in feet.
Time (p.m.) . . . Distance . . . Mercy Farm . . . Intersect
4:55 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 880' . . . . . . 1760'
4:59 . . . . . . 703.2' . . . 176.8' . . . . . 1056.8'
4:59.10 . . . . . 29.3' . . . . 147.5' . . . . . 1027.5"
4:59.20 . . . . . 29.3' . . . . 118.2' . . . . . 998.2'
5:02.20 . . . . . 527.4' . . . -409.2' . . . . 470.8
5:05.20 . . . . . 527.4' . . . -936.6' . . . . -56.6' 5:05.30 . . . . . 29.3' . . . . -965.9' . . . . -85.9'
5:06 . . . . . . 87.9' . . . . -1053.8' . . . . -173.8"
5:06.50 . . . . .
Of course, that is if he hikes a mile per half hour, or 2.93' per second.
Now as to what happened at that time . . .
4:55 Lady Sylvia (Amanda Donohoe) arrives at Mercy Farm
4:59 She leaves the farm.
4:59.10 She arrives at the intersection.
4:59.20 James (Grant) and Eve (Oxenberg) arrive Mercy Farm.
5:02.20 Angus (Capaldi) and Mary (Davis) arrive Mercy Farm.
5:05.20 James leaves Mercy Farm.
5:05.30 He arrives at the intersection.
5:06 Kevin arrives where Sylvia parked beside the road.
5:06.50 He and Sylvia arrive at Temple House.
Of course, I'll have to check my figures, the next time I see the film. But, notice, except for James and Eve meeting Angus and Mary at the farm, everybody just misses each other. Until, unluckily, Kevin meets Sylvia.
Until next week . . . Enjoy!
