8-calibre. Pistol grip to stock.
:14:04
Nitro-express cartridge,
firing a charge of 12 drams.
:14:07
- It'll knock down a charging bull elephant.
- There are no elephants in Brazil.
:14:13
I know. But it doesn't hurt to be prepared.
:14:17
Tell me, Mr Malone.
:14:19
Have you ever been close enough to a really
dangerous wild animal to stare into its eyes?
:14:26
I assume not. Shall I tell you
what you see there? Your own death.
:14:30
An uncomfortable experience.
:14:33
On the contrary, it's profoundly stimulating.
You might want to get that down.
:14:40
Gentlemen. If you please.
:14:45
- Time to reveal our destination.
- Why did you have to be so secretive?
:14:49
- He didn't trust us to keep our mouths shut.
- Yes.
:14:53
Mr Malone has kindly agreed to keep
an accurate record of our progress.
:14:58
Now... this is roughly
where I shot the pterosaur.
:15:03
It's right on the edge
of the unexplored regions.
:15:06
When I got back, I found this account
of a Portuguese expedition
:15:11
that went to the same region in 1649.
:15:14
Only one man returned,
Father Luis Mendoz.
:15:18
When they found him in the jungle,
it was assumed he was mad.
:15:22
So we're going to be following a map
drawn up by a lunatic!
:15:26
- He was raving about dragons.
- Dinosaurs.
:15:29
Exactly.
:15:30
Now, according to Luis Mendoz,
:15:34
there's a remote plateau
in the middle of the unmapped territory.
:15:38
He says there's a cave system
leading right the way up to the summit.
:15:43
- His claim makes perfect sense.
- Why?
:15:47
For a pterosaur or any other
prehistoric creature to have survived,
:15:52
it must have been isolated from
the mainstream of evolutionary development.
:15:56
Where do you propose we start
our search for this mythical plateau?
