:14:01
Are you all right?
:14:17
That was entirely
my fault.
:14:19
I don't know how it
could have happened.
:14:22
Mr. Paisley, by your slip
you've rendered
:14:26
an inestimable service
to science.
:14:32
Alec!
:14:33
See this?
:14:34
What would
you call it?
:14:36
As you said,
it's a manmade object.
:14:39
It looks like a top,
:14:40
a surveyor's instrument,
a plumb bob.
:14:43
It is
a plumb bob.
:14:45
There are letters
on it.
:14:48
It's an inscription,
a message, perhaps.
:14:50
Can you make out
what it says, Professor?
:14:54
It's in some
Nordic tongue.
:14:57
The hand that
wrote this trembled.
:14:59
Perhaps it was
a dying hand.
:15:01
Was it written
in paint? Ink?
:15:04
Perhaps blood.
:15:05
Possibly.
:15:07
Look at this side, sir!
:15:09
A signature!
:15:11
Arne Saknussemm.
:15:14
Arne Saknussemm!
:15:16
Will you take me
home now, Uncle Oliver,
:15:20
or do I have to
go alone?
:15:24
Alone.
:15:25
Alone!
:15:26
It's unthinkable,
but it must be true.
:15:28
A man took tools
:15:30
and went where no human being
has ever set foot...
:15:34
alone into the interior
of the earth. Alone.
:15:37
Who? What is he
talking about?
:15:39
Arne Saknussemm,
the Icelandic scientist.
:15:40
The greatest
of his day.
:15:42
He was laughed at
when he claimed
:15:45
there was a world
down below.
:15:47
The laughter stopped
when he disappeared,
:15:50
never to be
heard from...
:15:52
until tonight.
:15:59
Get out of here,
woman!
