Morgred sent the kids to the future and wiped their memories to protect them from being executed. Morgred reveals that Sue and Eddie are Princess Susannah and Prince Edward of York. The man introduces himself as Morgred, the king's sorcerer. There, Sue finds Eddie, and he admits that he was also kidnapped.Ī man with white hair walks in. Soldiers carry Sue to the top room of the tower. Since the basket is latched, the executioner is able to transport Sue back to Terror Tower. The woman also refers to the man as the Lord High Executioner. The woman rushes Sue inside and hides her in a large basket, but the woman promptly ushers the executioner inside and brings him to Sue. Sue approaches a woman and pays her - using the same coins from earlier - in exchange for a place to a hide. Sue is spotted by the executioner, but she runs away. After stopping to ask a local boy for help, Sue turns back to find that her brother is gone. The kids also notice that there are no modern buildings or cars. Once the kids are outside, they find that it is somehow daytime - even though it had been dark when they entered the hotel.
A man declares that he recognizes the kids, but the kids run away, confused. Sue asks a man for help, but he - and, eventually, everyone in the room - begins staring at the siblings in disbelief. The kids find a crowd of people who are feasting by firelight and dressed in old-fashioned robes.
The siblings hear voices, which they follow. The kids find themselves alone in an old hallway with candles on the wall. Suddenly, everything begins to change around the siblings. The man places the stones in the palm of his own hand and begins chanting. Evidently, Eddie had swiped the items when they were in the tunnel. The man demands that Eddie give something back, and the boy begrudgingly gives back the three stones. Sadly, Eddie and Sue are reunited with the man in black.

The kids go to the hotel restaurant, but - seeing the taxi driver - walk in, the kids sneak into a dark hallway. The man behind the desk says he can help the kids if they provide their last names, but the siblings are unable to remember that. The kids go to the room where they think their parents are staying, but they learn the room is empty. The kids say their parents will pay, and the driver allows them to enter the hotel, telling them he'll catch them if they aren't back in a few minutes. Sue is confused as to why her parents would give her money that wasn't standard. The kids are driven to the Barclay Hotel, but - when Sue tries to pay - the driver refuses to accept the strange coins Sue offers. The kids are stopped by a guard, and he calls the kids a taxi. They find a ladder that takes them out of the tunnel and into Terror Tower's parking lot. However, the man is attacked by a swarm of rats, allowing the kids to escape. The siblings are eventually chased into a tunnel, and the man catches up to them. The kids dodge the man and begin running down the stairs. They begin descending the tower stairs, but they run into a man who is dressed in black - presumably an executioner - and carrying three white stones. Sue and Eddie inspect the room so intently that they don't realize their tour group has left. The tour guide introduces the group to the "tower room", a place where the prince and princess - Edward and Susannah of York - were locked away. The siblings go to Terror Tower, where they are led through the old building in a tour group. Since their parents are at a conference, the kids are by themselves. Siblings Sue and Eddie have been sightseeing in London. No way their tour guide would just leave them. Sue and her brother, Eddie, are visiting London when they run into a little problem.
