you I'm sure he'll be right along she's already here excellent she means business hi up who whoa there oh is something all right she's been waiting but I believe I kept her suitably entertained at least I hope so good we must keep up a appearances would she like ah she's very nice I do so enjoy playing Hostess for your uncle after we're married I after we're married Uncle Jonathan can find his own Hostess come on ah Mrs Dennison Prof found apologies Mr Brock you've been hurt oh it was uh nothin
g I was just racing back from a lecture at the anthropological Society I'm doing some fundraising for a scientific expedition to the Dutch East Indies adding to your collection well most of these things were my father's this was your father's house I believe it was he was a rather famous man a companion to Mr Darwin in the glass us some say you followed in his footsteps more like his shadow it is Mr Brock I think you're too modest my husband was very impressed with your work I believe you met hi
m up in Fort Vancouver a few years ago after the war Edward Dennison your husband I didn't realize there are a few years between us I don't recall meeting you then no I was set to join him when my father died quite suddenly in Sacramento as his only Heir I was forced to take over the family's mining operation my father is Robert MCA yes I know another man with a large Shadow your husband didn't mention the connection no he wouldn't have Edward is very sensitive about his position he's a man of c
onsiderable accomplishments yet in some people's eyes being married to an ays well you know it was never that way at all of course you know Edward he showed me a wonderfully preserved fossil of the genus tus and a fish of the devonian age I'm a genuine treasure found quite inexplicably in Russian territory Alaska that's American territory now Seward's falling actually I think it was a very good purchase indeed as I recall Edward had gotten that fossil from a prospector who had told him a tale ab
out an abandoned mine with a hidden passage an opening into the earth into the center of the earth no less I imagine it was just a local Legend you know one of those stories that every culture seems to produce like Noah's flood Mr Brock Edward disappeared looking for that passage I want you to help me find him would you care to see the garden that would be lovely please I've collected some of his papers Mrs Dennison hopefully you'll be able to make sense of them the mine is located at a lake at
the base of a dormant volcano there's a crude map Mrs Dennison with all due respect I am not a detective I'm not looking for a detective Mr Brock I'm looking for a man who can put himself in Edward's place an adventurer who can think strategize and execute a plan as he would a man who can discover and follow the trail he would have taken I am highly flattered but I am a Scientist let me be blunt I have a great deal of money more than enough to finance any number of expeditions to whatever God fo
rsaken place you choose to go do you really think you can make it to the East Indies based on the strength of your prize fighting skills of course I had you investigated I need you to lead this Expedition and given the state of financial affairs your father left you I would have thought you'd jump at the opportunity I see you are a woman who is accustomed to getting what she wants I am in any case I will need to know your intentions within the next 24 hours as you'll see when you Prov these pape
rs there's a very important time constraint I'll be waiting your decision good day Mr Brock good day to you Mrs [Music] Dennison Uncle Jonathan what happened she wants me to go on a wild goose chase to Alaska I'd be glad to accompany you Uncle I mean I would be useful in so many ways Abel our wedding well we haven't really set a date yet of course we have well we can change it Emily just think if I'm to make my way as a journalist I need to have life experience real life we've talked about it I
this this could be my opportunity Uncle I would make a record of your entire Journey if you don't want to marry me say so I do I do want to marry you you know that I knew you were going to do this I told my sister I just knew it wait wait Emily wait [Music] Emily what do I do abble I suggest you tell her you're going to dedicate the journal to her so we're going men get far too few opportunities for Great Adventure AEL you never know it just could be [Music] true I'm going to go tell her the goo
d news you never [Music] know dear Emily as a wise man once said being on a ship is like being in prison with a Chance of drowning happily after 2 weeks at Sea that part of our adventure is over as I'm afraid I have suffered from seasickness whilst Mrs Dennison and Uncle Jonathan remained remarkably robust a drink in any case we have arrived safely in Alaska and our Journey Begins bring the gear Jonathan Brock I presume indeed well welcome to the capital of Alaska I'm the Customs officer Solomon
Smith I received your letter good good I'd like to introduce you to Mrs Martha Dennison and my nephew Abel Mrs Dennison Abel what sort of accommodation do you have for us Mr Smith I'd be pleased to show you able stay close [Music] [Music] are you the only American official here Mr Smith I'm the only American official in the entire territory Mrs Denon goodness do you hear that Mr Brock Mr Smith is a very important man indeed [Music] we know my husband came here someone must have had contact now
as I say Mrs Dennison the Russians left no records they took everything with them Lock Stock and Barrel well perhaps the indigenous population remember him cling it they're the locals the Russians treated them badly so they don't trust us they've yet to realize that we are a different people still some someone must remember him someone four years is a long time this is the wild west people come and go looking to stake a claim what about the map the mine someone must know something not if it's a
Russian mine I'm going to go check on able I wish I could be of more Comfort Abel uncle uncle over here [Music] able are you all right my wallet stay with Mrs Dennison and you've got all of our money hey look he running [Music] [Music] from hey that give me that horse [Music] hey come back here that's my horse I'll bring them back both of them Jonathan Uncle Jonathan for oh easy friend this man is th he's taking something from you yeah as a matter of fact he has it's all our money thank you ity
does this you wish to kill him um no uh I don't feel like killing anyone tonight your choice Sergey sergic petkov Jonathan Brock I know who you are is fortunate we meet fortunate for you yeah you know who I am yeah you are um with this rich woman you are looking for a man actually it's her husband and you know what I know this man I am here before you know Edward Dennison mik my brother was with her M your brother he went on the Expedition with Dennison he's not brother he he's like brother we e
scaped s prison come to AAS it's many years now Mr POF Sergey uh Sergey can you come to Sitka with me and speak with Mrs Dennison oh no this is not possible for the moment uh why the American Customs man thinks because I'm Russian I must be Spire or something like this it's not true but I don't stay in Sitka I'm living there cigar oh no thank you your choice thank you are you sure you can trust this man no but he saved my [Music] life Sergey I brought Mrs [Music] Dennison welcome Mrs thank you [
Music] inside you bring with you other clothings yes I grew up in a mining camp I know what required I believe you sit please it's very good not much but thanks Mrs do you know where my husband is do you know this place this is mine for gold I have never been there is supposed to be a passage Sergey within the mine a fault line of sorts that goes into the Earth I I remember this your brother went there with my husband he goes but he never come back I look with this I find him how long will it ta
ke us to get there what slowest problem according to Edward's notes the mine is visible only one day a year when the sun reveals it September 23rd the Autumn Equinox that's 10 days from today this might can be seen one day only can we make it 10 days [Music] maybe maybe just maybe just is all I [Music] need [Music] get [Music] we are pushing deeper into the Wilderness with no trails and no signpost to tell us where we are or how far we've come the fistas are breathtaking though they conceal a th
ousand perils we sense but have yet to see each day we travel farther faster living up the land stretching ourselves to the [Music] Limit Sergey is an excellent guy but he and Uncle Jonathan are dependent on a crudely marked map bearing only the sketchiest of details Mountain lines wolves bears and other Predators snarling and Howling in the night keep us Vigilant and wary at all times so as you might guess I'm having the time of my life we shoot from here yeah there there see ready go good one
good [Music] shot [Music] why do men get to have all the fun in life such as fishing shooting guns I thought you grew up in a mining camp my father was very protective of me he was determined to raise a young lady no matter what the environment so any man that would have tried to teach me how to shoot a gun would have been ridden out of the camp on a rail I teach I show you wait hold on Sergey guns are not play things I'm well aware of that Mr Brock now hold it like so strong into shoulder like
this there okay you got to be careful recoil oh my [Music] goodness thank you you're welcome try again Mrs Dennison seems at ease among men not so surprising given her background I know her our journey is to find her husband but I'm not quite sure everyone will be happy if we actually do we should take this Ridge yeah but we have to cross a swamp to get there too long too slow what else can we do we have to go this way I think it's better we go over the mountain look okay what's right below us c
an what is right below us Uncle Jonathan and Sergey debate constantly about the quickest route through the mountains but it is all for the common goal yeah let me see you like some coffee oh please Serge here look good okay we're within Striking Distance I hope so tomorrow September 23rd the Autumn Equinox the sun is at High Noon we'll be there it's a bear the [Music] horses Uncle I I'll go with you Abel stay with Mrs [Music] Dennison no no no no we have to stay get the [Music] horses Uncle Dy M
r Brook What's happen are you okay Mr Brock Uncle what happened we've lost two of the horses without those horses what will we do Mr Brock the only thing we can chase the sun to be so close to our goal and to lose two horses has been a blow but we are Resolute the cratered mountain is ahead of us and we are determined to reach it by noon we have not traveled this far to fail on the final [Music] day it's there you can see it plain and clear just like on the map the Tet name is Hill who smoke wel
l it's not smoking now thank God there's a bit of steam rising from the lake it must be an active geothermal area the Indians say devil is in Lake sometimes suck people down sometimes spit them up a sax new Vortex was mentioned in Edward's papers what is it well in theory a sax nin Vortex is a kind of reverse World poool which allows a leg to draw water from a source underneath the Earth rather than being fed by rivers or rainfall or other mundane sources it's a complete fantasy I'm afraid you s
eem very sure of that Mr Brock I am Mrs Dennison your uncle seems very opinionated I was thinking [Music] pigheaded Don't Tell Me 1 minute till high noon but if we don't have the sun we must be ready if we do Sergey please we do what with these I'm not sure yet find the compass it's almost time [Music] [Music] 15 seconds uncle look the sun is [Music] coming it's gone oh yes it is but but not really AEL get my Plum [Music] line what are you doing I'm showing where the ray of light would have poin
ted quickly tide here good okay now pull it to nice hold it steady directly into middle of link it could be fathoms deep out there we could never find the entrance underwater Mrs Dennis do you have a mirror a rather small one small will work fine thank you you see the sun would have hit the surface of the lake on an angle able hold this steady there good and on a clear day the surface would have acted as a mirror reflecting the ray of light directly towards Sergey blow some smoke towards the [Mu
sic] mirror [Music] again [Music] the light would have struck it a point halfway down that Steep Hill let's go find our mine we need to find the downward passage if there is one there must be miles of tunnels here then we'll search every foot of it if need be okay need light now all okay stay close able able keep up coming [Music] able Which Way a coin TOS really no of course not uh it's more like 50 50 well we're going to have to split up why don't we each take a tunnel I'd prefer not to Mrs De
nnis I understand that but it's the most practical course of action given the time we have remaining which is not very much uncle look here someone did this with a pick a marker of sorts would your husband know to do this yet mik m did this this this Russian symbol it means don't go this way follow the Russian Mr Brock can I have a word with you of course has Sergey said anything about my husband in what regard anything I tried to talk to him about Edward but he was evasive I don't think he like
d him very much not sure you did either it's not true we had much in common your husband and I I found his ideas original and provocative I just wish I'd gotten to know him better me too we were only together as husband and wife for a year forgive me for being so forward but I find the two of you A peculiar your couple I'd never met a man like Edward before he was so worldly so confident so full of life and full of plans that I thought were exciting and Adventures that I thought we'd share toget
her why didn't you perhaps he didn't think his adventures were for sharing one day he was simply gone I didn't know exactly where he'd kept certain aspects of his expedition secret even from me it took four years just to piece together the scraps of evidence that I showed you if he left you why I just want to know what happened to him I need to know that fair enough Mr Brock we find opening come come see it seems to be going straight down let's [Music] descend [Music] wish me luck we have begun
our descent into the Earth Uncle Jonathan our Point man going first picking the route and then lowering us downward it is difficult to express our emotions for it is both exciting and utterly terrifying truly a journey into the unknown our ropes are 200 ft in length so we must find Ledges and outcroppings in the rock walls and conduct our descent and stages as you may recall I have had some fear of heights in the past but there is no time for fear now I must push past it and think of only what a
waits us below a slow watch your feet you can't see slow [Music] [Music] easy [Music] be careful AEL slower AEL [Music] [Music] slower good [Music] [Applause] [Music] gently [Music] able well [Music] done the vertical descent is behind us we are now traversing a series of tunnels and passages some of them vast galleries carved out of the Rock by the Primeval forces that shaped our planet taking us deeper and deeper into the Earth presumably We are following Mr Dennison and male's route but this
of course we cannot know for certain the only thing we do know for certain is that it is too late to turn back [Music] now uncle [Music] Jonathan Uncle Jonathan I found a lamp look it's s do you think it's Edwards let's keep searching got brought more o I think it's got a gaseous odor it most likely combustible s oh he's V oh no think it was Mr Dennison I don't know got yet how can you be sure [Music] sge [Music] we make this imprison camp in Siberia M brother [Music] should have been me [Music]
uncle uncle I hear something in the Rock it's like a it's like a whooshing sound like the wind heble there's a lot of strange Sounds here none of them being the wind no it's quite strong uncle heble Abel Abel where are you I'm down here what are you doing down there I fell are you all right yeah I think so stay there we'll be right down watch out [Music] are you all right pack save my life able yeah look there's light come on we're back on the surface how could we couldn't be we're not I don't
understand neither do I there is no gaseous ball providing illumination the light it must be an electrical phenomenon much like a Aurora borelis only stable so there would be no night correct the light must always be on you otherwise the physical loss to apply this gravity condensation hence the clouds there must be rainfall there is a tide is it salty yeah somewhat I'm going to explore some more I'm coming with you I'm coming too yeah bring [Music] guns what we have discovered down here is trul
y [Music] amazing trees are like we know we have fur Pine but plants need sunlight yeah they've somehow adapted photosynthesis without the sun evolution in an enclosed environment taking a course of its own it's warm would you Gentle mind giving me a little privacy why Sergey uh naturally we'll just keep [Music] going okay [Music] okay look at this what can do this not Evolution these trees were filled with an axe for what [Music] what what happened are you all right what happened something fit
me something fit me and pull me under sit down here come here sit down let me look at it let me see let me you've seen a leg before once or twice did you see this thing what was it no I just felt it slithering under the water it must have been 20 ft long we have a pretty good weld but it didn't break the skin thank you Mr Brock well we found some trees trees that have been cut down by an axe but perhaps we think the trees were used for a raft a raft to go where our raft we owe to Edward Dennison
he cut more trees than he needed we lashed the logs together with our climbing ropes and thus far she is seaworthy the sea however is more of a lake despite its salt content its extent is unknown but from our soundings it's rather deep 75 ft hey Sergey let's drop the sail I think we'll make better time with just the current it's getting [Music] deeper [Music] look look there bird oh no not Birds there's a theory that birds are the descendants of winged dinosaurs seems to be true what are they d
oing they attacked maybe Sergey no they're just curious don't shoot Uncle there's something pulling on my rope [Music] Martha help me oh it's heavy help me help hold it up it's bit clean through it's taking your pickaxe this is why they Circle they wait for dinner that one's not circling oh shoot [Music] it oh able able up up where what is that shark no it's too big it's a plesiosaur one of the most deadly creatures that's ever [Music] lived [Music] [Music] he's coming towards us brace yourself
we must kill it bullets will be useless hold on hold tight it's hungry let's feed it now what we raised the sail able and hope for a strong wind sail coming up that creature was prehistoric yeah from the place to but those reptilian Birds they're from somewhat later you're talking over a million years ago it seems that the creatures that died out on the surface of the Earth survived here protected from the last ice age could you imagine those creatures in San Francisco Bay your quick thinking sa
ved us Mr Brock it's true let's hope our Good Fortune continues well I believe it does take a look a raft it's a raft it's been here for years looks like the elements could have destroyed where's the rest of it don't jump to conclusions Martha I think I'm going to go explore a bit don't go too far able why does she want this man he was at come many weeks but never spoke of a woman's heart is the Last Frontier I did not trust him is this why you didn't join his expedition maybe I was so drunk I c
ould not go but perhaps this was on purpose I tried to stop me it's my [Music] fault [Music] [Music] Uncle Jonathan Uncle Jonathan people humans I saw two girls where there's a Trail lead the way we are being watched yeah some of those song birds aren't Birds who could they be I think we're going to find out it's beautiful but how on Earth do we get across that's [Music] how something tells me this is not primitive he was built with knowledge and engineering and a great deal of skill do you thin
k it's safe there's one way to find out be careful hope you're not afraid of heights this is incredible uncle Jonathan we've got company more back here this is [Music] unfortunate should [Music] what do you think they're saying it sounds Vaguely Familiar I hear many words it's like clinging what now uncle Martha and Jonathan Brock you must bow to me Edward Mr Brock is an anthropologist he knows how it works there are protocols have you brought anything to give me to give you uh a gift sign of re
spect we have our packs good you have weapons yes [Music] excellent now we will [Applause] celebrate these people came down from the surface centuries ago and found an Eden naturally their creation myth involves the world above from which a asias prophesies to descend sounds familiar H as it turns out I was the Fulfillment of that prophecy so you're like a god essentially who do they think we are they're waiting to be told you're a problem I didn't anticipate [Music] who's she she's my people's
Priestess they're Hunters but some of the animal species in this place are murderous beasts we encountered one of them every time a Hunting Party would go out men were killed or MAV I taught them how to hunt from above from aerial platforms I've heard something of that certain South American tribes employ the same technique indeed Mr Brock I did not invent the idea I adapted it to this environment and it has transformed their lives we found M stupid man in his damn cigars he set off an explosion
as you must have guessed mind your manners when you talk to me my people are easily offended you called this place Edward you've been here 4 years now is it really Eden to you it is Martha I intended to stay that way too Mr Brock I haven't thanked you for taking such good care of my precious wife Martha she does not like us you've done it Uncle Jonathan this discovery will put you on the map you may have even eclipsed Darwin let alone your father yeah I've done it all right why have you stayed
here is the power so intoxicating maybe not to you but is someone who's never had it yes I heard there were strangers but I never imagined you and Jonathan Brock you paid top dollar who's running the Empire while you're away you left me without a word without your permission you mean is that how you saw it that's how it was not to me I didn't want to do this I thought about this moment so many times I thought I would know exactly what to say to you I thought you would be what pleased to see me I
thought about it too knowing it would never happen and I am pleased but I'm not the man you knew Martha you can stay here with me we could still be together [Music] Char don't not what you got Edward don't please you're my wife now that I'm here I'm not ready for this I'm sorry I see no I don't think that you do see you have no idea how hurt I was how I felt where are you going to your priestess as a matter of fact I am shoot them if you have to go go Edward there you fool he's only a boy he's
older than he looks I know him now what he's a traitor I'm going to kill him Edward don't are you insane Just Give Me One Reason Mr Brock just one now for you you have no idea what you've done reim ainel rest in peace fallowing God gods don't bleed you killed that boy in Cold Blood I had to they would have tried to kill me who were they traitors their leader is wakina he resisted me from the start even when he saw what I could do for the people he so dissension I banished him and his followers h
e started a campaign of harassment I attacked took prisoners prisoners your arrival has given him the moment he's been waiting for what do you mean your appearance has undercut my power you sealed your fate when you killed that boy Edward and you Mara you were horrified by my actions out there consider what happens next what wakina and all of his men must be annihilated Martha if it's any comfort to my mind any man who found himself in your husband's position would be changed by it he isn't chan
ged he's worse not different the arrogance sense of entitlement it's how he was when I met him it was his trump card my father scared off so many of my suitors that he couldn't fight Edward I think that's what drew me to him in the first place it wasn't L I think I wanted him to Love Me Maybe he did for a little while no stop stop stop no what is he doing losing control they're going all of them he is false god they see [Music] [Music] it we have to go now will our WFT be where we left it your W
FT was destroyed why so you couldn't get back there's another way though through the valley of the light was the route they took down from the surf centuries a kill Edward are you sure it's still there but we'll find out Mr Brock is that them will use this if I have to yeah it's them Sergey it's loaded let's go it he wants revenge no he wants a reckoning can we escape using those hunting lines you built maybe maybe is good enough okay let's [Music] go W now remember hold on real tight let's good
shot let's go come on let's go Sergey watch [Music] out I'm the out of [Music] [Music] this J that's a shot go go sh wake up Uncle Jonathan mark them [Music] hey Mar [Music] run I saw Mrs Dennison get hit by an arrow back there okay come on run [Music] go I think it was over this way they're right behind us are you okay Marth it got caught on my strap it's scared me more than anything we need to go I have Dynamite it will hold them back how many of those do you have this is the last one but the
y know what it can do come on Sate come on be careful you're blocking the passage to the cave how far will he go to stop us what do you think Brock okay follow me this is our only chance you sh wake up [Music] Edward once we're in the cave we'll be sitting ducks if there's no way out I have a plan Mr Brock get my wife safely in the cave Martha Sergey cover me the blast should loosen the rock seing Us in and them out damn we're sitting ducks Edward move back as far as you can to the cave you shou
ld find an underground river now Edward what about you don't worry about me I'm a God here remember W you think you have the power I show you the power of Life what are you doing saving your life [Music] work are you sure about this Jonathan it's our only chance Martha getting deeper look out behind keep your heads up keep moving move Martha Jonathan marthan keep your head up un Jonathan this wasn't on the map uncle could that have possibly have been a yes it could sex n Vortex my earlier judgme
nt was premature I try not to hold it against [Music] you thank you I suppose you're already thinking about the East Indies I can't say as I am really I am after what we've been through the idea of going back to more board meetings and Society branches seems too dreary to contemplate the Indies on the other hand much much more exciting I agree completely good then we have a deal it would be a pleasure uncle about my joural should we let the world know where we've been yet you have the most at st
ake my scholarly renown it's the type of discovery that walks a Man Out of the Shadows we need not destroy their world we must keep their secret always you have your answer AEL well [Music] I'll uh make sure I deal with [Music] this as this is the last entry in the journal I feel I must confess something which I'm sure you've already guessed it has all been a work of imagination clearly nothing I've described here could ever have taken place after all A Journey to the Center of the Earth who in
their right mind would believe [Music] it [Music] for [Music]
