:16:02
I don't want any tea!
:16:04
I only want my post.
:16:06
Don't shout at me!
:16:07
I can shout
just as loud as you!
:16:10
For two weeks,
you haven't eaten or slept.
:16:14
Out, woman!
:16:16
Here's your post,
Uncle Oliver.
:16:26
Another day,
and still nothing!
:16:28
Can you believe that?
No answer.
:16:30
And where is Alec McEwen?
:16:33
At the university.
:16:35
How long does it take
:16:36
to get a letter from
Stockholm to England?
:16:39
Answer the bell.
:16:43
We have to speak
to Sir Oliver.
:16:46
Don't tell us
he's busy.
:16:48
Callers? That's
all I need.
:16:51
Oliver, we all know your
reputation for rudeness.
:16:54
You're also
a conscientious man.
:16:57
But you've skipped
every lecture for two weeks.
:17:00
I'm involved in
something important.
:17:02
More important
than our university?
:17:04
Something any university
would envy us.
:17:07
Ah, yes!
Ha ha!
:17:08
You laugh!
:17:10
What does the name
Arne Saknussemm mean to you?
:17:14
Saknussemm, Saknussemm.
:17:16
Didn't he write about
the lost city of Atlantis?
:17:20
That was
his early career.
:17:22
He's famous for
his study of volcanoes.
:17:25
Out of a volcano
came this message from him.
:17:28
It lay unnoticed
for 100 years
:17:30
until picked up
by some peasant,
:17:33
gathered dust in a curiosity shop
until it came to me.
:17:36
Here is a translation
of the words.
:17:38
"I'm dying, but my life's work
must not be lost.
:17:41
"Whoever descends into the crater
of Sneffels Yocul
:17:44
"can reach the center
of the earth.
:17:46
I did it.
Arne Saknussemm."
:17:48
Center of the earth?
:17:49
Sneffels
Yocul?
:17:50
That's an extinct volcano
in Iceland.
:17:52
According to this, it
must lead to an unknown region.
:17:56
But this is
sheer fantasy.
:17:57
You haven't heard
all of it.
:17:59
There's a postscriptum.
