:02:26
- Good evening, sir.
- I'm Professor Ivarsson.
:02:28
Yes, sir.
Sir Anthony's been expecting you.
:02:30
It's in your hands, Marlow.
:02:31
Stand fast with those steel fellows.
They'll come to terms.
:02:34
- Very well, sir.
- If any other problems come up,
consult with the board.
:02:36
They know my thinking.
Ah. Professor Ivarsson.
:02:40
I cannot tell you how grateful I am
that you've agreed to join me.
:02:43
I haven't agreed to anything,
Sir Anthony.
:02:45
All I know is that somebody woke me up
at 6:00 yesterday morning...
:02:48
saying he was the British ambassador.
:02:49
It was the British ambassador.
:02:51
He'd arranged my passage on a mail boat
from Norway to England...
:02:54
and then a very large man
appeared at my door.
:02:56
He helped me pack my bags
and drove me to the dock.
:02:58
- Your train leaves in 10 minutes, sir.
- Good. Come along, Ivarsson.
:03:01
But, uh, Sir Anthony...
:03:05
Expedition to the Arctic?
:03:07
I'm... I'm hardly
a professional explorer.
:03:10
Ah, let me finish.
:03:12
- I've had you looked into.
- Oh?
:03:14
You're an American from the University
of Minnesota, currently a guest lecturer
at the University of Christiania.
:03:20
Your specialty is the archaeology
of the north.
:03:22
In the past, you've led
several successful expeditions.
:03:26
You've done some very interesting
work in Greenland.
:03:28
Oh, no, no. You're the right man
for the job, all right.
:03:31
The right man for what job?
:03:33
And what's so urgent about it?
What is it you hope to find?
:03:36
My... son.
:03:44
You see, my wife died
when Donald was a child.
:03:48
As he grew older, I began to groom him
to take my place in the business.
:03:51
I... pushed him too hard. L...
:03:54
Anyway, we had words.
:03:56
Then suddenly Donald dropped everything
and went off on a whaling ship...
:03:59
as an ordinary seaman.
