Professor Ivarsson. {4172}{4242}I cannot tell you how grateful I am|that you've agreed to join me. {4244}{4289}I haven't agreed to anything,|Sir Anthony. {4290}{4364}All I know is that somebody woke me up|at 6:00 yesterday morning... {4366}{4407}saying he was the British ambassador. {4409}{4447}It was the British ambassador. {4449}{4512}He'd arranged my passage on a mail boat|from Norway to England... {4514}{4571}and then a very large man|appeared at my door. {4573}{4622}He helped me pack my bags|and drove me to the dock. {4624}{4711}- Your train leaves in 10 minutes, sir.|- Good. Come along, Ivarsson. {4713}{4775}But, uh, Sir Anthony... {4802}{4854}Expedition to the Arctic? {4856}{4915}I'm... I'm hardly|a professional explorer. {4917}{4965}Ah, let me finish. {4967}{5032}- I've had you looked into.|- Oh? {5033}{5164}You're an American from the University|of Minnesota, currently a guest lecturer|at the University of Christiania. {5165}{5225}Your specialty is the archaeology|of the north. {5227}{5322}In the past, you've led|several successful expeditions. {5324}{5380}You've done some very interesting|work in Greenland. {5381}{5447}Oh, no, no. You're the right man|for the job, all right. {5449}{5488}The right man for what job? {5489}{5547}And what's so urgent about it?|What is it you hope to find? {5573}{5663}My... son. {5769}{5876}You see, my wife died|when Donald was a child. {5877}{5955}As he grew older, I began to groom him|to take my place in the business. {5957}{6006}I... pushed him too hard. L... {6032}{6086}Anyway, we had words. {6088}{6154}Then suddenly Donald dropped everything|and went off on a whaling ship... {6156}{6211}as an ordinary seaman. {6213}{6343}Three months later, I got word|that he'd left the ship in Baffin Land. {6345}{6384}Why? {6385}{6465}I had no idea, until I received this... {6467}{6573}from a trading post at Fort Conger|on Ellesmere Island. {6574}{6641}Apparently Donald had left it|with the factor for safekeeping... {6642}{6724}when he'd gone off|on some sort of expedition. {6725}{6814}When he didn't come back,|the factor sent it on to me. {6861}{6944}It's an old page|from a Hudson's Bay Company journal. {6945}{7068}Look at the entry|forJanuary the 15th, 1856. {7069}{7110}"To this post this day... {7112}{7189}cameJohn Murchison|with his Eskimos... {7191}{7239}who hunt the white bear... {7241}{7304}far beyond the land's end. {7305}{7363}He told of seeing a lone cloud... {7365}{7419}as if lying on the ice... {7421}{7478}and hidden beneath it... {7480}{7529}an island. {7531}{7650}This island he sought to examine,|but his Eskimos refused him... {7652}{7736}saying it's guarded by evil spirits... {7738}{7836}for it's the place|where the whales go to die." {7838}{7910}- We're coming into Dover now, sir.|- Thank you. {7912}{7990}Sir Anthony, the graveyard of whales|is just a fantasy... {7992}{8077}a whaler's El Dorado, where he thinks|he's going to find a huge fortune... {8079}{8129}in whale bone and ambergris. {8131}{8188}The fact is, it simply doesn't exist. {8189}{8242}Graveyard of whales|is a legend, nothing more. {8244}{8337}A legend or not, the graveyard|is what my son went after. {8338}{8395}It's my son I'm looking for. {8478}{8541}- Porter, sir?|- Uh, yes. Take our luggage|to the Admiralty Pier. {8543}{8589}- Very good, sir.|- Sir Anthony... {8590}{8642}I'm afraid this has to be|the end of the line for me. {8644}{8737}I'd help if I could.|I know how much this means to you. {8738}{8826}But you're trying the impossible.|To try to find one man... {8828}{8894}with nothing more to go on|than a page from an old journal... {8896}{8999}There is something more.|Donald also left this with the factor. {9001}{9060}I was hoping|you might know what it was. {9114}{9206}It's carved bone. It's Eskimo work.|It's quite common in the Arctic. {9237}{9322}- This one's a kind of a map.|- Map? {9324}{9374}Well, if I had the right chart,|I could show you how this thing works. {9376}{9474}My yacht is at the pier.|You can have all the charts you need. {9597}{9682}See, this pattern|hopefully will correspond|to some part of the shoreline... {9684}{9730}here on the chart. {9785}{9854}Look. See how this matches? {9856}{9928}Now, it's not exactly to scale,|of course. {9930}{9992}Then this red mark could be|the island we're looking for. {9993}{10040}If there were such an island. {10041}{10102}- And why shouldn't there be?|- 'Cause there's no land here. {10104}{10200}It's just a gigantic frozen sea.|All the explorers agree to that. {10202}{10305}- Peary, Nansen, all of them.|- And what is Ivarsson's opinion? {10392}{10459}Of course,|there's a lot they haven't covered. {10489}{10553}But if there were such an island... {10555}{10614}if the graveyard of whales|really did exist... {10616}{10688}The world will never know,|will it? {10690}{10750}Unless you discover it. {10752}{10869}Or unless someone else|beats you to it. {10871}{10973}Sir Anthony,|you're a devious man. {10974}{11054}Yes, I am, aren't I? {11056}{11093}I've got your contract here... {11095}{11167}your leave from the university,|power of attorney. {11169}{11247}My solicitors will handle your affairs|in your absence. {11282}{11338}- We're underway.|- And have been for some time. {11340}{11400}We'll be in France in the morning. {11402}{11492}Why France? That's hardly|the most direct route to Fort Conger. {11493}{11561}On the contrary.|I think you'll find that it is. {11753}{11853}Can't you slow him down? You'd think|we were leaving tomorrow morning. {11855}{11933}- We are.|- What? {11934}{11986}I said we are. {11988}{12064}- First thing in the morning.|- Impossible! {12065}{12164}It's winter. No ship can get|through the ice before spring. {12165}{12272}- I've made other arrangements.|- What arrangements? {12273}{12354}If I told you,|you'd think I was mad. {12603}{12669}Sir Anthony, you are mad. {12671}{12729}Now you're going to meet another madman.|Captain Brieux! {12776}{12848}Ah! Monsieur Ross! {12849}{12892}What a pleasure! {12953}{13046}He was building this|for a syndicate of Americans,|but he ran through all their money. {13048}{13111}I heard of the project|and took it over. Ah! {13113}{13171}- Captain Brieux!|- Good evening, Sir Anthony. {13173}{13218}- Professor Ivarsson.|- I'm honored, Professor. {13220}{13309}- It's my pleasure, Captain.|Do you mind if I take a closer look?|- No, no, no. No, please. {13311}{13425}- I'm proud we shall have you with us|for the ceremony tomorrow.|- Thank you very much. {13427}{13530}- What ceremony?|- Why, the first flight of my creation. {13532}{13602}Tomorrow, the whole world will know|of me and my Hyperion. {13604}{13648}France will rule the air! {13649}{13709}Whatever you've planned,|cancel it. {13711}{13773}Tomorrow we leave for the Arctic. {13775}{13835}The Arctic? {13837}{13922}The Arctic!|Sir Anthony, that's ridiculous! {13924}{13979}It can't be done!|That's impossible! {13981}{14059}We would need food, supplies,|fuel for the motors! {14061}{14129}The fuel I leave to you, Captain. {14191}{14277}All other necessities|have been amply provided by my staff. {14493}{14563}Monsieur, I think it is best|that you and I have an understanding. {14565}{14667}We have an understanding.|I bought and paid for your airship. {14669}{14728}It's mine.|I intend to use it... {14730}{14809}to find my son|who is lost in the Arctic. {14811}{14884}But I cannot do it without your help. {14886}{14976}I can offer you nothing|except hardship and danger. {14977}{15078}Accept your place in history. {15080}{15136}- History?|- Think of it, Captain. {15137}{15216}You have an opportunity which comes|but once in a generation. {15217}{15312}The world will know you not only as|the first man to fly over the Arctic... {15314}{15424}but the first man, perhaps,|to brave the North Pole itself. {16117}{16194}Today we make history.|There should be flags... {16196}{16287}music, a speech from the president. {16289}{16402}But what do we have?|Two small children and a herd of goats. {16404}{16510}Don't worry, Captain. When you bring her|back to France, the celebration's|gonna break all records. {16592}{16657}- Now we are ready to depart.|- Very good, Captain. Carry on. {16698}{16753}There will be no speaking. {17433}{17495}Contact! {19284}{19338}Well, we're on our way. {19365}{19441}A glorious day, messieurs.|We rise with the sun. {19443}{19528}Congratulations, Captain.|This'll be a morning to remember. {19609}{19669}Something in the food hamper|just bit me. {19671}{19741}That is not the food hamper.|That is, uh... {19742}{19817}the small boudoir ofJosephine. {19819}{19938}- It's some kind of a dog!|- But of course. The best kind. French. {19940}{20018}I am not interested in its nationality.|Who brought it aboard? {20020}{20070}No one brought her aboard.|She lives here. {20072}{20143}This is her home,|since the airship was begun. {20145}{20214}I'm not running|some kind of flying kennel. {20216}{20262}Get rid of it. {20264}{20313}Very well. If you wish, monsieur. {20315}{20370}But of course,|it will take time. {20372}{20477}The sun has warmed the gas. We must wait|until night to return to the hangar. {20478}{20550}- Then bring back the ground crew...|- Wait until night? {20552}{20616}Why, that'll mean 12 hours.|I can't lose the time. {20618}{20668}You're absolutely right, Sir Anthony. {20703}{20764}Congratulations, Josephine. {20766}{20816}We've just signed on our ship's mascot. {20818}{20865}Very well. {20866}{20928}But I don't like small dogs,|and I never did. {21157}{21220}Britannia may rule the waves,|Sir Anthony... {21221}{21300}but the French airship|rules the sky. {21301}{21396}Already we are speeding in triumph|across the shores of your homeland. {21398}{21487}It's raining as usual, I see.|How far have we come? {21489}{21575}- About 150 miles.|- 150? {21577}{21633}In six hours? {21635}{21713}Is that what you call|"speeding in triumph"? {21714}{21800}In a day or two, we'll travel faster,|but now my motors are at half speed. {21842}{21901}What on earth for? {21902}{21971}They are new.|They must run themselves in. {21973}{22049}Poppycock!|I want full speed. {22051}{22120}There are the controls, monsieur.|If you want full speed... {22121}{22188}it's your responsibility,|not mine! {22737}{22786}What do you say now,|Sir Anthony? {22820}{22901}I say I want full speed. {22903}{22970}And I mean to have it. {23077}{23121}You have your wish, monsieur. {23146}{23198}It's on your head. {23925}{24002}- What's happening?|- Something about the propeller. {24122}{24205}I followed your orders, monsieur,|and you see the result. {24207}{24270}Now we must go back|to France for repairs. {24272}{24326}We will not! {24328}{24392}We will proceed|on one propeller. {24394}{24488}In arctic winds?|That would be insanity. {24489}{24584}Without full power,|my airship could not survive. {24586}{24689}- I refuse to go forward!|- And I refuse to go back. {24733}{24790}Well, gentlemen,|we have to go somewhere. {24792}{24842}Captain, you carry|a spare propeller, don't you? {24881}{24957}- Naturally.|- Well, why don't we put it on now? {24959}{24991}- In midair?|- Mm-hmm. {24993}{25071}- Why, impossible!|- Nothing's impossible. {25073}{25160}Splendid idea, Ivarsson.|Come along. Give me a hand. {25161}{25209}Gentlemen! {25210}{25296}May I remind you that|I am in command here. {25297}{25370}Only an idiot|would attempt such a thing. {25372}{25410}I will do it myself. {25880}{25967}Do be careful. And don't take|any unnecessary risks. {26726}{26783}Take good care.|The wind's coming up. {27076}{27124}Let's haul him up. {27344}{27403}Well done, Captain.|My congratulations. {27405}{27492}Thank you, Sir Anthony.|I am deeply honored. {27709}{27796}- What's he up to now?|- Marcel, make contact. {27858}{27908}Contact, mon capitaine. {28245}{28292}Stout fellow, Brieux! {28293}{28382}- The man's incredible.|- Brave, but mad as a hatter. {30280}{30324}Musk ox. {30325}{30385}Oh, really? {30386}{30458}- What are they doing?|- They're forming a defensive ring. {30460}{30535}They think we're attacking them. {32697}{32794}Captain, is it really necessary|to fly so low? {32796}{32866}It's easier to control the airship|at this altitude. {33081}{33128}No need to be alarmed, Sir Anthony. {33129}{33197}Look. I am in full command. {33829}{33911}You've made your point, Captain.|There's no need to overdo it. {35565}{35612}Take hold of the lines. {36394}{36480}What I don't understand is why Donald|took only one Eskimo with him. {36482}{36538}Because only one|could be persuaded to go. {36540}{36587}You see, they all knew|what he was looking for. {36589}{36660}The mythical island|where the whales go to die. {36662}{36750}One man's myth is another man's gospel,|Mr. Ivarsson. {36752}{36812}Anyway, the Eskimos believe|the island exists. {36813}{36914}They're frightened to death of it.|Say it's guarded by evil spirits. {36916}{37024}- What about the Eskimo|who went with him?|- Aye. Oomiak's his name. {37025}{37072}They call him the fearless one... {37073}{37146}though he was far from fearless|when he come back. {37148}{37187}- He came back?|- Oh, aye. {37189}{37257}As a matter of fact,|that's him out there... {37259}{37318}showin' the captain|how to fly his airship. {37320}{37383}Fetch the fellow.|Call him in. {37385}{37446}I'm afraid you won't get|anything out of him, sir. {37448}{37536}- Call him in at once. Don't argue.|- Very well, sir. {37571}{37639}Any man who goes off with my son|and then comes back alone... {37641}{37704}I'll see that he talks, all right. {37705}{37753}I think you'd better|let me handle him. {37755}{37866}You've never dealt with Eskimos.|They have a sort of, uh,|diplomacy all their own. {37868}{37928}Blast it, Ivarsson.|Anyone would think I had no tact. {37952}{37991}Come along, Oomiak. {38086}{38156}Ah, so there you are. {38157}{38244}Now, what I want from you is an exact|account of everything that happened... {38245}{38293}Sir Anthony,|this is the great Oomiak. {38294}{38390}- Who knows Oomiak?|- Your fame has traveled far. {38392}{38476}What fame?|Not even my dogs know me. {38478}{38580}You were my son's guide.|What happened to him? {38581}{38696}- Hello?|- This is the father of Donald Ross. {38697}{38810}- We want to know about your...|- Tell us what happened when you|left here to find the island. {38855}{38938}- Island.|- Don't try to play that game with me. {38940}{39035}Oomiak, I think|you've seen this before. {39073}{39133}This is the place|where the whales go to die. {39134}{39208}It's the island Donald was looking for. {39237}{39288}Well? {39289}{39376}- Speak up, man.|- My mind forgets. {39425}{39496}Is the fearless one|afraid to help us? {39657}{39764}We travel many days.|Evil spirits watch us. {39766}{39833}When we find island,|they make big blizzard. {39877}{39960}Then they attack us.|I fight like bear. {39961}{40029}Fight like bear,|but evil spirits too strong. {40030}{40119}So you ran away|and left my son. {40121}{40215}No! We both run,|blind in snow. {40217}{40288}When blizzard stop,|I search for many hours. {40322}{40405}No Donald. I tell truth. {40407}{40448}You Donald father. {40450}{40514}I Donald friend. {40713}{40802}- His whole story is a pack of lies.|- Maybe. {40804}{40869}But he's the only chance we have.|Now, at least he could show us... {40871}{40936}where he lost Donald, and we|could start our search from there. {40938}{41003}I don't suppose there's any chance|he'd go with us. {41005}{41051}Oh, no, sir. None at all. {41053}{41102}Nothing on earth|would make him go back. {41173}{41232}Nothing on earth. {41429}{41509}Captain! Why don't you let|just one of them go on board? {41510}{41590}- Then he can tell the others|all about it.|- No, no, no, no, monsieur... {41592}{41658}What about this fellow?|He's been a great help to us. {41660}{41710}Would you like to see|the inside of the airship? {41739}{41813}Me? Yes, I like. {41815}{41851}Good man. {41853}{41940}Give him a hand, Captain.|Why don't you, uh, show him around? {41942}{42032}- Perhaps we can, uh, win him over.|- Well, we can try. {42033}{42093}Captain, a word with you. {42217}{42268}- Captain?|- Mm-hmm. {42768}{42820}No, no, no, no, monsieur.|Quite impossible. {42821}{42877}There is no room,|and we are overloaded now. {42878}{42956}We could leave the mechanic behind,|pick him up on the way back. {42957}{43030}You ask me to fly the ship|without a mechanic? {43032}{43140}But you have me.|Just tell me what to do. {43141}{43215}I could tell you what to do, monsieur,|but you wouldn't do it. {43905}{43985}Looks like we're getting ready to leave.|I'd better take you down. {44070}{44124}Let go the lines there. {44158}{44203}Wait a minute.|Oomiak's still on board. {44921}{45012}Hang it all, he's the only one|who knows where Donald went to. {45075}{45130}We'll bring him back... {45132}{45192}after he's helped us to find him. {45281}{45360}Sir Anthony, since I no longer|have a mechanic... {45361}{45444}may I suggest that you|first make fast the door... {45445}{45535}then go aloft and take in|the landing lines. {45623}{45679}Aye, aye, Captain. {46161}{46244}We're here. I can only guess|how far the island is. {46245}{46299}This Eskimo map's a little vague. {46325}{46396}It's a lot to gamble on a piece of bone. {46397}{46459}He's not much help to us either. {46461}{46510}Did you expect him to be? {47185}{47244}- Sir Anthony.!|- Huh? {47245}{47331}Come up, please.!|It's very important. {47473}{47515}What is it? {47517}{47575}Look over there. {47777}{47833}- Whales.|- White whales. Beluga. {47835}{47887}Indigenous to the Arctic. {47889}{47933}Now look over there. {48037}{48097}I say, that one's quite different. {48098}{48178}The California Gray. It's supposed|to be found only in the Pacific. {48237}{48312}A Narwhal,|the unicorn of the sea. {48314}{48376}That's a rare sight, Sir Anthony. {48693}{48752}ByJove, there are|whales everywhere! {48779}{48826}All kinds of whales. {48828}{48900}And all moving|in the same direction. {48902}{48952}Exactly. {48954}{49031}So there is a place|where whales go to die. {49060}{49178}Captain!|That big lead of open water. {49180}{49232}Follow it! {49493}{49575}If we really are on the right track,|we'd have seen something by now. {49577}{49650}Look. You remember the journal? {49652}{49748}"A lone cloud,|as if lying on the ice." {49750}{49798}Oomiak! {49869}{49940}- Is that where the island is?|- Wrong way! Wrong way! {49942}{50028}Island not that way!|Island back this way! {50030}{50093}- He just told us|what we wanted to know.|- Yes. {50095}{50144}Steady as you go, Captain. {50717}{50756}Look! {50898}{50984}"And hidden beneath the cloud,|an island." {51453}{51516}Captain! What happened? {51541}{51589}Captain! {51790}{51861}Captain?|Why are we stopping? {51863}{51953}- In such a cloud,|it's not safe to proceed.|- Not safe? {51955}{52025}- What do you mean?|- I could not see to navigate. {52027}{52073}And there will be strong winds. {52075}{52156}My airship could be dashed|against hidden cliffs and torn apart. {52157}{52217}We can't turn back now. {52218}{52307}We don't have to.|We can go in on foot. {52309}{52382}- Oh.|- Capital idea! {52384}{52468}- Take the ship down to the ice, Captain.|- I'll get everything ready. {52470}{52535}No, no. You cannot leave the ship! {52537}{52631}Professor! You know|the dangers that lie below. {52633}{52702}Even if you survive the cold,|there are still the cliffs. {52704}{52782}- You could not climb the cliffs.|- We must try, Captain. {52870}{52945}I know.|It's a gamble, Captain. {52947}{53020}But with my son's life at stake,|I have no choice. {53155}{53230}No, Sir Anthony.|It is I who have no choice. {53272}{53320}I'm not a man of stone. {53388}{53484}There are times|when the heart must rule the head. {53486}{53550}We will attack the cloud. {55309}{55378}- Can we go above them?|- Impossible! {55380}{55468}- Our load is too heavy.|- I'll soon lighten it. {56221}{56280}Hurry up!|We are losing height! {57886}{57949}- You all right?|- Yes, quite. {57951}{58037}I can't help thinking|of the captain, though. Poor fella. {58039}{58094}How long must we|keep this up for? {58096}{58149}We can't survive in the open.|We've gotta keep moving... {58151}{58209}till we find shelter. {58210}{58272}There should be caves|in those mountains. {58273}{58329}Oomiak? Ah. {58331}{58416}Is this anything like the place|that you and Donald came to? {58474}{58546}I tell you, Donald father. {58548}{58606}We see nothing in blizzard. {58634}{58714}- Then spirits come, and...|- And you fought like a bear. {58716}{58784}Yes, you mentioned that. {58985}{59043}- Somebody watches.|- Where? {59092}{59148}I don't see. {59149}{59188}I feel. {59235}{59283}Tommyrot! {59419}{59470}Something moved! {59604}{59673}- Did you see anything?|- I don't think so. {59674}{59726}Neither did I. {59728}{59785}All the same, I think|we should head in that direction. {59787}{59860}Oh, very well.|If you don't know where you're going... {59862}{59946}I suppose one way|is as good as another. {60752}{60833}It's incredible.|I don't believe it. {60835}{60909}Green and fertile... {60911}{60991}in all this ice and snow. {60993}{61063}Look. There's the explanation.|The island must be volcanic. {61065}{61110}Heat rising through|fissures in the ground. {61112}{61182}It's probably thermal springs,|exactly like parts of Iceland. {61184}{61262}There are buildings|down there. {61264}{61353}- Looks like some sort of settlement.|- People. There are people there. {61355}{61420}That means that Donald|could be there. {61565}{61637}The spirit! Spirit! {61721}{61778}Wait a minute. {61780}{61819}No, wait! We're friends. {62182}{62231}Do you understand|their language? {62233}{62296}It's Norse.|The old Norse of the sagas. {62297}{62348}Their-Their weapons, their clothes,|their whole appearance. {62350}{62398}- They're Vikings.|- Vikings? {62605}{62677}They think we're invaders.|We've come to take over their land. {62679}{62764}- What, the three of us?|- No, they think we're the first, and|that thousands more are gonna follow us. {62765}{62877}Why, it's ridiculous. Talk to them.|Explain why we're here. {62879}{62968}Well, I'll try, but I've never spoken|old Norse. I've only read it. {63393}{63438}- Donald?|- That's it! {63440}{63498}Donald Ross.|Where is he? {63534}{63585}Tell them I'm his father. {63956}{64025}- What is it? What's going on?|- I know he understood me. {64026}{64106}But now he's gone off to sound an alarm,|stir up the whole countryside. {64108}{64163}We're to be kept under close guard|and follow along. {64165}{64236}Well, that's not good.|If they think we're invaders... {64237}{64320}then Donald could have been|a prisoner all these months. {64322}{64400}Make them tell us where he is.|Oomiak! No! {64492}{64593}Idiot. He might have|got us all killed. {64595}{64649}But he does fight like a bear. {64910}{64966}He says you saved his life. {64968}{65013}I'm glad he appreciates it. {65014}{65082}But tell him I don't want anything|to happen to Oomiak. {65192}{65235}Thank you. {65581}{65642}He says your son is here and well. {65644}{65746}He's living on a farm|with the family of the man who|found him after the great blizzard. {65775}{65864}L-I knew it.|L-I knew he was safe. {66561}{66624}- What's happening?|- We're stopping to eat. {66677}{66744}I just had a talk with our friend. {66745}{66811}I found out why they're|so panicky about invaders. {66813}{66876}Oh? Why? {66904}{66947}These people have been here|for centuries. {66949}{67029}They're descendants of some|early Viking expedition. {67031}{67127}- We've actually|discovered a lost colony.|- That's quite remarkable. {67129}{67199}They've been so isolated up here|that they've come to believe... {67201}{67317}that all the rest of the world|is a frozen wilderness of ice and snow. {67319}{67366}Oh, how very odd. {67417}{67502}- Uh, you mean none of them|have ever left the island?|- Well, they have no reason to. {67504}{67564}See, they call this island Astragard... {67565}{67612}and believe it to be|the garden of the gods... {67613}{67685}and perfect and unique|in a desolate world, and... {67687}{67735}and set aside|for them alone, forever. {67737}{67816}- Why do they fear invaders?|- Oh, because they have a prophecy. {67817}{67887}There'll be a day when the barbarians|from the ice and snow... {67889}{67940}will try to conquer|their paradise. {68015}{68097}So that explains it.|They think that we're the savages... {68099}{68153}who've come to destroy them, hmm? {68155}{68243}Um, could be a bit tricky.|Anyway... {68245}{68341}as soon as I get to their head man,|I'll, uh, straighten things out. {68426}{68503}Reindeer.|Probably serve them as cattle. {68933}{68984}That's the house|where Donald's living. {68986}{69050}Donald is there?|Well, come on! {69105}{69141}Halt! {69190}{69276}My son.|I haven't seen him for two years. {69278}{69324}Tell them, Ivarsson. {69325}{69411}I'll go with them,|but not until I've seen my son. {69690}{69752}Thank you, my boy.|Very decent of you. {70365}{70445}They don't look very happy to see us.|That hunter must've stirred them up,|all right. {70446}{70494}I don't see Donald amongst them. {70885}{70976}Thank you, sir.|Uh, Donald. Donald Ross. {70977}{71028}Uh, where is he?|Can you tell us? {71070}{71132}Ask him about Donald. {71133}{71188}Is it true that you|are Donald's father? {71189}{71270}- Good heavens. You speak English.|- Donald taught me. {71272}{71392}He lives with us since he came|to our land. This is my father. {71394}{71499}I'm grateful to you, sir, for looking|after my son. Uh, where is he now? {71655}{71736}He wants us to go into the house.|We cannot talk out here. {71737}{71795}Oh. Very well.|Thank you. {71905}{71994}What do you mean they took Donald away?|Who took him? {71996}{72066}The Godi's men.|They came with weapons. {72068}{72126}The Godi's their... their high priest. {72181}{72298}It was because of the hunter.|He rode down from the mountain|shouting of invaders. {72300}{72358}- It was that fellow on the horse.|- Yes. {72360}{72425}When the Godi heard,|he sounded the long horn. {72427}{72497}The long horn is their call to battle. {72499}{72588}Battle? What battle?|What has this to do with Donald? {72590}{72678}When it was told that one of|the invaders was Donald's father... {72680}{72733}the Godi said that Donald was a spy... {72735}{72784}who came here to|betray us to the enemy. {72786}{72860}Well, surely you|don't believe that. {72861}{72956}We don't, because we know Donald. {72958}{73021}There were many|that did believe... {73023}{73096}because there was|an omen in the sky. {73098}{73134}Omen? {73136}{73205}A monster like a whale,|but bigger many times. {73206}{73256}Oh, my dear girl,|that's easily explained. {73257}{73358}What the people saw was my airship.|You see, it's like... {73360}{73440}It... It's like one of your boats... {73441}{73517}only it... it sails in the air. {73519}{73604}Now, look, if I could|just talk to this, uh, Godi of yours,|I could explain everything. {74265}{74328}We're to be taken before the council|at the temple. Erik's a member. {74330}{74380}You'll get your chance|to be heard. {74654}{74736}That girl. She speaks|better English than Oomiak. {74737}{74810}- She's prettier too.|- If she learned it all from Donald... {74812}{74892}he must have spent quite a lot of time|in her company. {74893}{74943}Can you blame him? {74945}{74992}I can't say I do, no. {75253}{75329}This is like a...|an archaeologist's dream... {75331}{75439}to go back in history and... and walk|the Earth as it was 10 centuries ago. {75441}{75487}I suggest you forget the past... {75489}{75535}and start thinking|about the future... {75537}{75642}which, from the look of things,|I'd say is not very promising. {76165}{76233}The clothes they wear,|the weapons they carry. {76234}{76314}- Each one of them|could be a museum piece.|- That's what I don't like. {76316}{76364}Those museum pieces. {76544}{76606}Look at that! {76608}{76717}A Viking longship, exactly the way|they were built a thousand years ago. {76757}{76835}Here, none of that.|Now stop it. {76964}{77016}Poor fella. {77017}{77086}And it's all my fault. {78940}{79006}The temple. That's where|we're gonna meet the council. {79084}{79172}Ah, good. Go straight to the top,|I always say. {79989}{80075}Odin, Thor and Frey... {80077}{80139}the greatest of all the Viking gods. {80141}{80257}I hope they're on our side.|We may need all the help we can get. {80409}{80493}The Viking Council,|straight out of a history book. {80495}{80582}That's the girl's father.|He seems a sensible old fellow. {80639}{80728}They probably still call the one|with the staff the lawspeaker. {80853}{80933}They all look reasonable enough. {80935}{80984}They might be my board of directors... {80985}{81056}if it weren't for|their outlandish costumes. {81173}{81244}He said, "Bring out the other prisoner." {81344}{81407}- Donald!|- Father! {81409}{81462}That's my son! {81801}{81887}- I've been looking for you.|- I thought you might. {81919}{82013}- That's my son. John Ivarsson.|- Donald. {82014}{82070}- How do you do?|- He's, uh, keen on the past. {82072}{82117}- Archaeology.|- Oh. {82118}{82225}Sorry about all this.|It's a bit sticky, I'm afraid. {82292}{82344}Donald Ross... {82433}{82499}He says that when|I came to this land... {82501}{82582}I gave my oath|that I came alone and in peace. {82708}{82754}But now come others, and with them... {82756}{82828}an evil omen in the sky|that cannot be ignored. {82829}{82888}That's my confounded airship. {83004}{83051}Let the prisoners speak|before they're judged. {83053}{83119}- That is precisely what I wanted to do.|- Father... {83121}{83215}It's all right. I'll handle this.|You just translate for me. {83217}{83290}- What do they call this island?|- Astragard. But, Father, it's... {83336}{83423}Honored Council of Astragard... {83486}{83607}I come to your beautiful country|as a friend... {83688}{83735}in peace... {83737}{83853}seeking only my son,|who was lost to me. {83992}{84035}The Godi. {84965}{85021}He's telling them|not to listen to our lies. {85094}{85163}It's obvious that we're barbarians|who covet their sacred lands. {85358}{85456}And we must be condemned at once,|and without a hearing. {85457}{85509}Now, look here,|I thought I explained... {85698}{85804}It is no longer a matter for the|council, for the gods have spoken. {85856}{85924}If these men are spared,|more will come... {85925}{85992}in armed hordes... {86020}{86094}to pillage and profane|our sacred land. {86341}{86444}There can be but one penalty|for the invaders: Death. {87503}{87556}Quite a send-off. {87558}{87618}Full Viking honors. {87671}{87712}All very authentic. {87748}{87796}Very final. {87885}{87971}- I'm sorry, Father.|- Nonsense, my boy. {87998}{88067}- Donald!|- Freyja! {89103}{89184}We're in your debt, young lady. {89509}{89550}Here they come! {90168}{90218}And pull! {90641}{90712}The shore!|It's our only chance! {91901}{91964}You stay here.|I will draw them away. {91966}{92037}- No, you won't! It's too dangerous.|- He's right, my dear. {92038}{92100}It's you they're after, not me. {92102}{92214}There is a hunters' cave up there|with food and clothing. {92216}{92288}- I'll be back when it's safe.|- Freyja! {92509}{92557}Here they come. {93055}{93113}I think she's done it.|Good girl. {93115}{93173}I should never have let her go.|If they catch her... {93174}{93254}Oh, don't worry, my boy.|She knows what she's doing. {93256}{93314}Let's find that cave. {93610}{93685}- Hello!|- Oomiak! {93687}{93762}My dear old friend!|I'm so glad to see you. {93764}{93810}- We all are.|- We thought we'd lost you. {93812}{93899}No, can't kill Oomiak. I hide in water,|swim far like white bear. {93901}{93967}Good! Good! But let's go! {94225}{94276}- I watch now.|- There's still nothing. {94277}{94356}Oh, Ivarsson's up above|scouting around. Right? {94462}{94551}- Good morning, Father.|- Hmm? Good morning. {94553}{94623}- Did you sleep well?|- Wretchedly. {94625}{94680}You must be|a bit done in yourself. {94681}{94815}- I'm worried about Freyja.|- So am I, my boy. So am I. {94817}{94908}Well, I've made a mess of it,|haven't I? {94909}{94991}- Of what, Father?|- The whole miserable thing. {94993}{95063}All this nightmare we're living in. {95065}{95178}It... It's all my fault.|Every bit of it. {95180}{95244}Your fault? Why? {95245}{95327}If anyone's to blame, I'm the one|that ran off chasing rainbows. {95329}{95418}- You're not responsible for that.|- I am. {95420}{95471}Right from the beginning... {95473}{95541}I was always trying to shape you... {95543}{95589}into my mold... {95591}{95673}bullying, badgering,|never letting up. {95675}{95735}If I hadn't driven you away from home,|none of this would have happened. {95737}{95787}Father, you didn't drive me. {95789}{95912}Donald, I rode an airship across|the top of the world to tell you this. {95914}{95988}If we get out of this... {95989}{96051}you can do anything you want to do. {96053}{96112}You'll be free of me,|I promise you. {96113}{96198}But I don't want to be free of you.|I never did. {96200}{96304}I came here looking for adventure... {96305}{96356}and I certainly found that... {96357}{96414}but I don't belong here. {96446}{96533}Now, when we get out of this...|and we will... {96535}{96594}then I'm coming home with you. {96596}{96679}I want to share in your work|and your responsibilities... {96681}{96728}if you'll let me. {96789}{96871}If I'll let you? Well... {96925}{97006}You won't regret it.|I'll see to that. {97114}{97185}- Donald?|- Freyja! {97266}{97365}- He was quite worried|about you, my dear.|- I went back to the farm. {97367}{97456}It will be just as we had arranged it.|Father will give us dogs and a sled. {97457}{97520}- What had you arranged?|- You see, for some time now... {97521}{97576}Freyja and I have been planning|to leave the island. {97578}{97631}If we managed to escape,|we hoped to reach Fort Conger. {97633}{97679}What... The two of you together? {97709}{97772}Do you think I'd leave her behind? {97773}{97845}Not if you're|your father's son, no. {97846}{97924}Hello, hello! Boats! They come! {98193}{98244}What do we do now? {98246}{98342}There's not much cover, but I think we|can get to the top without being seen. {98431}{98480}That settles it. {98527}{98611}We can't stay here. Those hounds|would find us in no time. {98642}{98702}Look, the Godi's joined us. {98773}{98882}Bloodthirsty bounder.|Come on, everybody. Up we go. {100034}{100093}They go! They go! {100140}{100186}We've done it!|They've finally given up! {100188}{100234}Thank heavens for that. {100236}{100312}Look out, Father! {100598}{100670}Clumsy of me. Now the wolves|are after us again. {100672}{100742}I'm afraid so, Father. {101104}{101180}It's incredible!|It's absolutely incredible! {101210}{101268}- Nasty sort of place.|- Oomiak, go watch below. {101269}{101362}- We're going to need somewhere to hide.|- But where? They must know|every foot of this island. {101364}{101410}- The Bay of Whales!|- Donald! {101412}{101501}It's somewhere over there to the south.|It's sacred, taboo. {101503}{101583}- The Vikings won't go near it.|- That's it then. Let's go! {101585}{101684}- No, Donald, please! The spirits.|- Freyja, believe me. {101686}{101769}- What is it?|- The spirits are good spirits. {101771}{101835}Didn't they protect your people|when they first came here? {101837}{101944}- Surely they'll protect us.|- They come! They come!
