(Multicom jingle)

(mystical music)

- [Marguerite] The Grand
Touring automobile.

That's what Challenger
should have made next.

Leather seats, landau top,
and a big luggage compartment

to hold all the bloody equipment.

- The automobile has already
been invented, Marguerite.

- Not on this plateau it hasn't.

- Well then it's a good
thing he's built us something

even better.

- [Ned] Ready for the next one.

- Hey, Ned, toss me back the next one,

and we'll see how many we
can keep in the air at once.

- Well, Veronica, if we
miss one of the thermals,

we'll have to cancel the test flight.

- I remember when you used
to have a sense of humor.

- Well this balloon,
once it's fully tested,

is the thing that's
gonna take us all home.

- I am home.

- Well you know what I mean.

We'll all go to London.

You'll get a chance to...

- I'm not going, Ned.

I'm not leaving the plateau
until I find my parents.

- But I thought...

- I've been thinking too.

You'd better finish this on your own.

- So Challenger, this new
hydrogen evolver of yours

is not going to explode
like the one in your lab?

- I have made changes
since then, Marguerite.

The whole system is now completely sealed.

Whoa.

We have neutral buoyancy, Malone.

Get the last of the iron filings.

The sulfuric acid is now safely contained

in glass chambers in those vials.

It's drawn by vacuum pressure
up through these pipes

and down into the the
reaction crucible here

where it mixes with the iron filings

that I've poured in here.

The acid, iron reaction
then evolves hydrogen gas

that comes up through this
tube and into the balloon.

It's much more efficient than heating air.

- You know sometimes, George,

I can't decide what you like more.

Building the contraptions
or talking about them.

- [Both] Talking about them.

- Well there in ends
the lesson for the day.

Now anybody wanna go sightseeing?

- [Marguerite] Thank you, George.

- [Veronica] Thank you.

- [Ned] You ready?

- [Roxton] Okay.

- Let her go.

- Here we go.

(laughs)

- [Ned] I'd forgotten
the beauty of this place.

- Apart from those awful clouds.

They might as well be prison walls.

- Oh in a few months when
the seasonal winds change,

I believe we'll have a good chance

of getting past those clouds.

As long as we can get enough altitude.

- That's what we're here for.

- Okay, Challenger.

Open her up.

Let's see what she's got.

- [George] Whoa, that's a bit
more energetic than I thought.

(yells)

(thunder claps)

- [Marguerite] I think we're
high enough, Challenger.

- [Veronica] I know we're high enough.

- [George] Oh this is most unexpected.

We seem to be caught in a
powerful high altitude wind.

- Time to end the test, George.

- Well we should be descending.

- We are descending.

Into that.

- [Narrator] At the dawn
of the last century,

a band of explorers search
for a prehistoric world.

Driven by ambitions, secret desires,

a thirst for adventure,

and seeking the ultimate story.

They are befriended by an unnamed beauty.

Stranded in a strange and savage land.

Each day is a desperate
search for a way out

of The Lost World.

(energetic music)

- We're spinning out of control.

Bring us up, Challenger.

Bring her up.

- We're going to hit the ground.

- We're already past ground level.

- [Maguerite] This doesn't
look like the plateau.

- Yeah I tend to agree.

- The wind's blown us off.

- I wouldn't break out
the champagne just yet.

- [Maguerite] Where on earth are we?

- We're not on earth.

We're in it.

We're in some vast underground cavern.

Far deeper than we ever
went with the Cobalt.

- Not to be a spoil sport, George,

but how can that be remotely possible?

- As my grandfather's old
friend, Otto Ladenbrook

once said, we know less
about the earth we live on

than we do about the stars in outer space.

The greatest mysteries of all, he said,

are right beneath our feet.

- So much for your theory, George.

If that's a pterodactyl, then
we're still on the earth.

Not under it.

- That is not a species I recognize.

- [George] Behind you, Malone!

(screeches)

(gun fires)
(screeches)

- [Ned] He's circling back.

(screeches)

- Whoa, be careful, Malone.

- He's going for the gas bag!

(screeches)

(hisses)
(yells)

- Well that's done it.

Prepare yourselves for
a violent explosion.

- You said the evolver wouldn't explode.

- Well the evolver won't explode.

The hydrogen gas mixed
violently with air will.

- Veronica.

Veronica.

Veronica.

- We landed.

- In a manner of speaking.

You just stay away from that acid spill.

- [Roxton] Where are we?

- Terra incognito.

- A land unknown.

Nothing is out there.

Everything is out there.

- As much as I'd like
to enjoy the scenery,

we've got a lot to do.

- We've gotta drain this acid first.

Ready?

One, two, three, heave!

(grunts)

One more time.

Put your backs into it.

One, two, three, heave!

(groans)

- The air is so thin George.

Reminds me of the Himalayas.

- The concentration of oxygen

is much less than we're used to.

Most likely because of the amount needed

to produce all this
electroluminescent light.

- How much less oxygen?

- Enough to prevent the
hydrogen gas from exploding

when the balloon was torn.

- I'll stop my complaining.

One more time.

You ready.

Heave!

(groans)

- Looks like we've lost
all of our iron filings.

- And half our supply of sulfuric acid.

- Without iron, you
can't make hydrogen gas

to fill the balloon.

- And without the balloon,

we can't make it back to the surface.

- Just what I've always wanted.

A place that annoys me
more than the plateau.

- [Roxton] George, we have company.

- [George] She looks human.

- Very human.

- Hello.

My name is George Challenger.

- I am Elise.

You are from the land above the sky.

- Yes, we are.

We're from the surface.

- You killed the sky demon.

- May I?

Pterodactyl talon.

Recently removed.

About three years old from the size of it.

About the same age as
the one you shot, Ned.

- You killed it from your balloon.

- That's right.

- Good.

I will ride in your balloon.

And you will show me my
land from a great height.

- I'm afraid that may not be possible.

As you can see,

our balloon is not exactly
flight worthy at the moment.

- What will make it possible?

- Iron maybe.

- Iron?

That means nothing to me.

- May I examine your sword?

- Looks promising.

- Your sword is made of iron.

- Then iron is the Stone of Arjax.

Tell me how much you require.

- Oh enough to make 20 swords at least.

- I will get you the iron you need.

Then you will take me on your balloon.

- Does anybody but me think
this is too good to be true?

- Iron is iron Marguerite.

And we need it if we're to get home.

Your kind offer is gratefully accepted.

- Fine, so little miss
helpful will help us

find some iron.

That's not gonna fix the balloon.

- Well speaking of little miss helpful

and the ripped balloon,
I have just the job

for you and Veronica.

- [Veronica] Trust the men
to fall for a pretty face.

- [Maguerite] That woman
had better not be lying

about knowing where to find iron.

- [Veronica] Well at
least it's their problem.

Finding sap to making the
glue for the balloon repairs

is ours.

- We have to find some plants first.

I'm beginning to think that nothing

actually grows down here.

- Well there has to be a
food chain, Marguerite.

Where there are pterodactyls and people,

there's got to be plants.

- Well I suppose so.

Nature is nature.

That never changes.

- Right.

Only people do.

- As in you and Malone?

I don't think he's changed all that much.

The poor boy's been in love with you

since the day you two first met.

- But I'm not in love with him Maguerite.

- Are you sure?

- Well if I was in love with him then

wouldn't I follow him anywhere?

Even to London?

- [Maguerite] True love conquers all.

- Yeah, I've heard that before.

- I once followed a man all the way

from Monaco to Shanghai.

- What happened?

- Let's just say after Shanghai,

I'm never gonna do it again.

- Poor Roxton.

- If it is true love, he
can follow me for a change.

- Oh I think he would.

Well at least for a little while.

- Just wish I knew where I was going.

- [Ned] Elise, where do
your people live down here?

- [Elise] My village is five
intervals of sleep away.

- Five intervals, oh five days.

What are you doing so far from home?

- To earn my place as a warrior,

I went on a quest for
the talon of a sky demon.

Because of you I found it.

- But won't your trophy be
from another man's kill?

Isn't that bending the rules?

- The stories of my people
teach that many roads

can lead to a single destination.

How I obtained the talon is not important.

Only that I return with it.

- I'd like to hear more
about those stories.

- And I would like to hear more about you

and where you come from.

- Not much to tell really.

Three years ago, I joined an expedition.

We crossed an ocean,
discovered a mysterious land

on the surface, above your world.

There were five of us then.

Professor Challenger, Professor Summerly,

Marguerite, Roxton, and me.

- What about Veronica?

Where did you meet her?

In the jungle where she's lived alone

since her parents disappeared.

- She means a lot to you.

- Well she took us in.

We live in her house in the trees.

- You live with her and
yet you are not lovers?

- Well we're close friends.

- Is there someone else?

- No.

Not at the moment any way.

- That is good.

Good for me I mean.

- Why would you say that?

- There are many possibilities.

- Those look like oasis plants.

Like the ones on the plateau.

- Let's just hope they
have sap like oasis plants.

(grunts)

One more to fill.

- There.

Those look promising.

- Now getting back to the subject at hand.

- Oh, that's right.

You and Roxton.

- Nice try.

- What kind of sap is this?

(hisses)

(coughs)

Marguerite, stay back.

- Veronica!

No!

(coughs)

(hisses)

(coughs)

(groans)

- Typical.

You just had to mess with something

where no one else could see it.

Come on sleeping beauty.

It's a long way to Tipperary.

- Good job, Roxton.

Now all we need is some repair glue.

- Well look at this place, George.

Do you honestly think
Veronica and Marguerite

will have any chance of
finding plants down here?

- Certainly I do.

Airborne seeds from the
surface would have fallen down

through the cold air, just as we did.

The resulting plants
would over the centuries

mutate into species that are
able to survive down here.

- Evolutionary adaptation, huh?

I suppose that accounts for
the albino pterodactyls.

Absence of natural light equals loss

of skin pigmentation.

- Exactly.

When conditions change, life must change.

- You know, George, if
things don't work out,

hypothetically speaking,

you think we can adapt to this world?

- Given the heat and lack of oxygen,

and those geothermal cauldrons

venting a devil's brew of toxic fumes,

I sincerely doubt whether we can survive

two or three more days let alone adapt.

(whimpers)

- [Roxton] Challenger.

(gasps)

I'll take her.

- Steady.

- You should rest now.

It's much colder on the surface?

- I never used to think so.

- You are brave.

Setting out across my world.

Trusting my word when
I am a stranger to you.

- Nowadays, when I do things like that

my friends think I'm crazy.

Especially Veronica.

- What do you think?

- I think I've been
sitting on the sidelines

watching for too long.

Taking notes when I should
have been taking action.

- You want to be a warrior, just as I do.

- I've seen war.

Too much of it.

I prefer to have adventures
no one else has had.

- That's why I want to
fly on your balloon.

To see things no one else has seen

since the last balloon visited our land.

- Another balloon came here?

When?

- Ten seasons of growth ago.

When I was a child.

The village elders still
tell stories about it.

- Ten years ago.

Who was on it?

- They said they were Laytons.

Thomas and Abigail.

- What happened to them?

Are they still here?

- The stories say they
lived among us a short time

but they left with their balloon.

Why are these Laytons of interest to you?

- Because Thomas and Abigail
Layton are Veronica's parents.

- Veronica.

Again.

Veronica is important to you.

- Well all my friends are.

- But she is more than a friend.

- Yes.

Well, no, not exactly.

- Good.

Then she has no right to challenge this.

You are not free yet.

- My friends.

They're counting on me.

On us.

We have to find the iron.

- What your friends need is just ahead.

- They were most likely
plant spores you encountered.

The pulse is weak

but steady.

The plant spores would be
intended to kill animals

whose decaying bodies would then

fertilize the soil.

- I've had just about enough
of the wonders of nature

for one day.

Will she recover.

- Well that is the most likely outcome.

- Challenger, it's the only outcome.

- Hurry.

The fires are unpredictable here.

- Is this an abandoned iron mine?

- Of a sort.

From this point on, silence.

You must do as I say.

(metal clangs)

- Elise, who are all these people?

- Exiles from my village.

Unworthy to be warriors.

And if they catch us, they will kill us.

- Elise, this is stealing.

There's got to be a better
way to get the iron.

- Not as quickly.

Do you want to go home or not?

- Many roads to a single destination.

- Thief!

(blows land)

- Come on!

Let's go!

Come on!

- [Miner] You stop!

(grunts)
(blows land)

(yells)

- Halt.

Intruder.

Stealing from the caves
of Arjax is forbidden.

The law is clear.

All thieves must die.

(grunts)

(yells)

- No further!

(blows land)

- You have everything,
and you steal from me?

(grunts)

- Elise!

(yells)

(grunts)

- You're a thief.

Kill her.

- No!

- Then surrender.

- No, Malone, he can't be trusted!

- Chain them up!

(water splashes)

- He is innocent, Arjax.

The crime is mine.

- The question is why
would a warrior commit it?

Or is this stolen too?

- You failed your quest.

You have no right to scorn my victory.

- In my cave, I have the
right to take your life.

- Are all exiles cowards like you?

Afraid of a fair fight.

- Arjax, he has a balloon.

Like the Laytons.

(grunts)

- Show me.

Show me!

- There.

The Challenger Hydro Aerosphere Mark Two.

- Liar.

It's not the same.

- I saw it flying Arjax.

It is just as the people say.

- There.

That is the Layton's balloon.

- No, this is a hot air balloon.

See these blazes in the
middle of the basket?

They heat the air that fills the bag.

This is a brand new type of balloon.

It runs on a different kind of air.

Hydrogen gas.

Challenger makes it by
using acid in these tanks

and the stones of Arjax.

- Arjax, he needed the stone to go home.

You can understand that.

- You will take me to your balloon

and you will make it fly
like the stories tell.

Or.

(sizzles)

I will make your flesh quench my blade.

- I can live with that.

(grunts)

- Well you sure don't get
points for technique, George.

- On the contrary, Roxton.

My dear old friend Pablo Picasso taught me

that if you hold the brush
in this fashion you get a...

Hello.

Looks like our iron's arrived.

- Yeah and I don't think I
like who it arrived with.

- Pig iron.

Not as efficient, but it'll do the job.

We are greatly indebted to you.

- My name is Arjax.

Your balloon will fly now?

- Oh indeed it will.

- I will ride in it.

- Perhaps we should sell tickets, huh?

- We made a bargain.

- And we will keep it.

We have enough acid.

And now thanks to our new friends,

we have enough iron.

A short trip won't be an imposition

now will it Roxton?

- We also made a bargain.

Our weapons.

- Thank you, Arjax.

This is turning into a real
adventure for everyone.

Hey, where is Veronica?

- She had an unfortunate
encounter with the local flora.

No long term harm.

- She's under the lean-to.

- I found her a present.

- Layton.

Veronica's parents?

- It seems her parents not only
explored the plateau above.

They were down here as well.

Well, at least for a short while.

(chuckles)

- How did one of my parents'
journals get down here?

- Well apparently they gave it as a gift

to somebody in Elise's village.

Before they went back to the surface.

- But when?

My parents never had a balloon.

They mentioned anything
about another world.

- Maybe the answers are in there.

- Thank you, Ned.

With all my heart.

- You know there's nothing
I wouldn't do for you.

- Yeah, I do know.

- It's just I hadn't always
known where we stand.

- I think we both know that
sometimes romance doesn't last.

But a friendship can.

- So we're okay.

- We'll always be okay.

You're a part of my life.

You always will be.

- Well, I hope you find what
you're looking for in there.

- So do I.

- Veronica's reading the journal.

I think she's gonna be all right.

Where is Elise?

- She was helping Challenger and Arjax

with the basket repairs.

- Well where is she now?

- Is there a problem?

- No, I'll just go and take a look

and see if they're anywhere nearby.

- Well when you see them,
tell them Challenger says

the balloon'll be ready
to fly within the hour.

- Yeah, I'll only be about five minutes.

- Is there anything going
on between Malone and Elise?

- Nothing we need to know about.

Wanna go for a balloon ride?

- Marguerite, you have to read this.

Look at the date.

It's three months after
my parents went away.

- That's wonderful.

What else does it say?

- [Veronica] All sorts of
things about where they traveled

and what they saw.

But look at these two pages back here.

Here, here.

I can't read them.

- Oh they look like Celtic runes.

But I can't understand them either.

- It's got drawings and
diagrams and sketches.

And maps.

And they write how much they love me

and how much they miss me.

- Oh, sweetie.

(cries)

Hey, let's go home and
find your parents, huh?

- Yeah.

Yeah.

- Elise!

Why did you run away?

- I'm looking for Arjax.

- What haven't you told me about him?

- When Arjax failed in his
quest to become a warrior,

in his rage, he caused the
death of others on their quests.

So when he was exiled, even
his name was taken from him

and he was called after
the stones he mines.

- Well why is that important now?

- The only way Arjax can reclaim his name

and be welcomed back as a warrior

is to do a great deed for the village.

Give a great gift.

- You think he's gonna steal our balloon.

- I know he is.

It is his only hope.

- We've got to get back
to warn my friends.

- Too late to run.

(yells)

(gun fires)

- What is that weapon?

- Something I hope your world never knows.

Come on!

(yells)

- Go back to where you belong, Arjax.

You can't win.

- And neither will you.

(grunts)

- No!
(gun fires)

Elise.

- I'm a warrior.

- I swear, I'll make him pay.

- No, Malone.

It's your duty to your friends.

It is the only way Arjax will not win.

(exhales)

(groans)

- Cowards!

Follow me!

Kill them all.

And the balloon is mine.

- We have neutral buoyancy.

We're almost ready to fly.

- Move it!

- He's alive.

- Arjax and his men.

They're gonna try to steal the balloon.

- Where's Elise?

- Arjax.

- I tried to delay him,

but this balloon could buy his freedom.

- Well I suggest we use it to
ensure our own freedom first.

Right, we almost have positive buoyancy.

Ready to go whenever you are.

- Release ropes on my call.

You ready Malone?

- Ready.

- Then let's go home.

- [George] Come on Malone.

- [Veronica] Come on Ned.

- [George] Malone?

- Ned, what are you doing?

- It's tied too tight.

- [George] Well undo it.

- [Roxton] Malone, leave it.

- [George] Forget it Malone.

- [Veronica] Come on.

- [Roxton] Malone, I said leave it.

- Malone!

- [Roxton] Take cover.

I'll cover you.

(gun fires)

(yells)

- [George] No, Ned.

- Malone, come back here.

- [George] Hey, Ned,
you can't take them all.

(gun clicks)

- Leave it alone.

I'll release the ropes from up here.

(gun fires)

(yells)

- Malone!

- Malone!

- [George] Run, Malone.

- I'm going after him.

(grunts)

- No.

- If we lose your weight,
we'll only go higher.

- Then take us down, George.

- I'm de-evolving as fast as I can.

- Malone, the ladder.

- [Veronica] Ned!

- [George] Run for the ladder.

- This is for Elise.

- [George] Hang on, Neddy boy.

That's it.

- Ned, the ladder.

Come on.

You can do it.

- Come on, Ned.

- Get him inside.

We're going up.

- I don't know about you, but

straight up the caldera
like old Saint Nick.

- I tied the timed when
we were on the ground.

There's a definite cycle
to the up and down drafts.

So what I suggest we do.

- Just please get us out of here.

- Point taken.

- Well done, Neddy boy.

(thunder crashes)

- We have to land

to check the repair to the gas bag.

(grunts)

All right now.

Keep a hold of it.

The wind could still take it.

- No!

(grunts)

Veronica!

No!

Veronica!

(overlapping yells)

Jump!

Jump!

- How long will the hydrogen last?

- Two days at most.

- She's more than a match for him.

- She has to be.

- When I throw you off,
I will fly even higher.

- I'm not the one who's leaving.

(grunts)

You don't know how to
fly this thing Arjax.

Throw your knife overboard

and I'll land us safely.

- I am a warrior now.

And there's nothing you can do to stop me.

(grunts)

(yells)

(creaks)

(screams)

- Veronica's still on board.

(grunts)

- She's headed for those awful clouds.

(thunder crashes)

- [Ned] Can the balloon
survive those winds?

- It was designed to
survive but it's so damaged.

- Knowing Veronica, she'll
be the first one of us

to make it off the plateau.

And she's the only one of us
that never wanted to leave.

- She'll never make it
through the updrafts.

The winds will bring
her back to the plateau.

- But where and when?

- Where ever she lands, we'll find her.

- Now she's just like the rest of us.

Lost.

- And looking for a way home.

(dramatic music)

(Multicom jingle)
