Father Mendoz is "the father
who watches over them".
:36:10
The stories tell of how he left them
but they always knew he'd come back.
:36:17
- What IS in that damned box?
- You'll see.
:36:20
- Their ancestors found white men.
- The survivors of the Portuguese expedition.
:36:27
They were nearly dead.
:36:30
(CHALLENGER) Ladies and gentlemen.
:36:33
Ladies and gentlemen!
:36:35
Their people brought them here,
and they married women from the tribe.
:36:38
(AUDIENCE QUIETENS)
:36:40
Ask him how they got up here.
:36:43
Not so very long ago,
I stood in this same hall
:36:47
- The way down is no longer open to them.
- What does he mean, "no longer open"?
:36:47
and announced that creatures once thought
to have been extinct for millions of years
:36:53
still roamed the Earth.
:36:56
(AUDIENCE REACTS)
:36:58
Well, I was branded a fraud and a liar.
:37:02
When he was a child,
a man came and lived with them.
:37:03
And my enemies had even worse things
to say about me.
:37:06
- They didn't realise he was the Devil.
- The Devil?
:37:07
Tonight, you will learn
what we found in our lost world.
:37:09
May I?
:37:14
Prepare yourselves to be amazed.
:37:15
Um... The Devil left
and blocked the cave to punish them.
:37:18
(SOME APPLAUSE)
:37:20
This is the other end of the cave
we found at the bottom.
:37:24
If the Devil did block this cave,
he was familiar with explosives.
:37:28
It's as much your triumph as theirs, my dear.
:37:31
They'll take ALL the credit if you let them.
:37:35
Ladies and gentlemen...
:37:36
You see, Leo,
:37:38
nature doesn't always extinguish
one species while another evolves.
:37:38
...an extraordinary story, you will say.
:37:41
But I'm not asking you
to simply take my word for it.
:37:43
This plateau has a unique balance
:37:46
that somehow allows the apemen and
the Indians AND the dinosaurs to co-exist.
:37:47
Will you believe
the evidence of your own eyes?
:37:51
- Now, that is fascinating, isn't it?
- Undoubtedly.
:37:53
Mr Malone, your assistance, please.
:37:56
And I look forward to returning with
a properly-equipped expedition to study it.
:37:57
Edward.
