2:04:00
Where is he?
2:04:01
Gentlemen, you see before you
a very weary old man...
2:04:06
...who has just ended a chase
that lasted nearly 1 0 months.
2:04:09
You never caught up with him?
2:04:11
Since that night he jumped off the ship,
till two weeks ago...
2:04:14
-...I've been missing him by inches.
-You don't mean it.
2:04:16
-Was he that determined to get back?
-Determined?
2:04:20
Gentlemen, in the whole course of my life,
I've never encountered anything so grim.
2:04:26
During those last 1 0 months, that man
has done the most astounding things.
2:04:30
He learned how to fly, stole a plane,
got caught, put in jail, escaped...
2:04:35
...in an amazingly short space of time.
2:04:37
This is only the beginning of his adventure.
2:04:39
He begged and fought,
pushing forward to the Tibetan frontier.
2:04:43
Everywhere I heard these amazing stories
of the man's adventures.
2:04:46
Positively astounding. Till eventually...
2:04:49
...I trailed him
to the most extreme outpost in Tibet.
2:04:52
Of course, he had already gone.
2:04:54
But his memory....
2:04:56
His memory will live with those natives
for the rest of their lives.
2:05:00
"The man who was not human,"
they called him.
2:05:03
They won't forget the stranger
who tried six times...
2:05:06
...to climb a mountain pass
that no other human being dared to travel.
2:05:10
And six times was forced back
by the severest storms.
2:05:14
They won't forget the madman
who stole their food and clothing.
2:05:16
Who they locked up in their barracks
and who fought six guards to escape.
2:05:20
Their soldiers are still talking
about their pursuit to overtake him...
2:05:24
...and shuddering at the memory.
2:05:26
He led them the wildest chase
through their own country.
2:05:29
Finally, he disappeared
over that very mountain pass...
2:05:34
...that they themselves dared not travel.
2:05:38
And that, gentlemen...
2:05:39
...was the last that any known
human being saw of Robert Conway.
2:05:45
That's what I call fortitude.
2:05:46
-Think of it.
-Tell me something, Gainsford.
2:05:49
What do you think of his talk
about Shangri-La? Do you believe it?
2:05:55
Yes. I believe it.
2:05:58
I believe it, because I want to believe it.
