:08:00
- I've made other arrangements.
- What arrangements?
:08:04
If I told you,
you'd think I was mad.
:08:17
Sir Anthony, you are mad.
:08:20
Now you're going to meet another madman.
Captain Brieux!
:08:24
Ah! Monsieur Ross!
:08:27
What a pleasure!
:08:31
He was building this
for a syndicate of Americans,
but he ran through all their money.
:08:35
I heard of the project
and took it over. Ah!
:08:37
- Captain Brieux!
- Good evening, Sir Anthony.
:08:40
- Professor Ivarsson.
- I'm honored, Professor.
:08:42
- It's my pleasure, Captain.
Do you mind if I take a closer look?
- No, no, no. No, please.
:08:45
- I'm proud we shall have you with us
for the ceremony tomorrow.
- Thank you very much.
:08:50
- What ceremony?
- Why, the first flight of my creation.
:08:54
Tomorrow, the whole world will know
of me and my Hyperion.
:08:57
France will rule the air!
:08:59
Whatever you've planned,
cancel it.
:09:01
Tomorrow we leave for the Arctic.
:09:04
The Arctic?
:09:06
The Arctic!
Sir Anthony, that's ridiculous!
:09:10
It can't be done!
That's impossible!
:09:12
We would need food, supplies,
fuel for the motors!
:09:15
The fuel I leave to you, Captain.
:09:21
All other necessities
have been amply provided by my staff.
:09:33
Monsieur, I think it is best
that you and I have an understanding.
:09:36
We have an understanding.
I bought and paid for your airship.
:09:40
It's mine.
I intend to use it...
:09:42
to find my son
who is lost in the Arctic.
:09:45
But I cannot do it without your help.
:09:48
I can offer you nothing
except hardship and danger.
:09:52
Accept your place in history.
:09:56
- History?
- Think of it, Captain.
:09:58
You have an opportunity which comes
but once in a generation.
