1
00:00:13,279 --> 00:00:16,373
<i>General Umberto Nobile returned a hero</i>
<i>to Italy.</i>

2
00:00:25,358 --> 00:00:28,350
<i>To his Roman triumph,</i>
<i>led by Benito Mussolini.</i>

3
00:00:31,431 --> 00:00:34,696
<i>Nobile's journey over the North Pole</i>
<i>with Roald Amundsen...</i>

4
00:00:34,768 --> 00:00:37,601
<i>had thrilled the world in the year of 1926.</i>

5
00:00:40,673 --> 00:00:44,109
<i>But the laurels won by the handsome hero</i>
<i>did not give him rest.</i>

6
00:00:44,177 --> 00:00:48,204
<i>He had seen the north,</i>
<i>the vast, silent, frozen sea...</i>

7
00:00:48,648 --> 00:00:50,741
<i>unendurable, uninhabitable.</i>

8
00:00:51,518 --> 00:00:53,577
<i>Yet, for more than 2,000 years...</i>

9
00:00:53,653 --> 00:00:56,918
<i>explorers have been drawn north</i>
<i>into this mysterious whiteness...</i>

10
00:00:56,990 --> 00:00:59,390
<i>where man literally walks on water.</i>

11
00:00:59,459 --> 00:01:03,555
<i>Men with such names</i>
<i>as Makarov, Nansen, Amundsen.</i>

12
00:01:04,130 --> 00:01:07,463
<i>At last, in 1909, Robert E. Peary...</i>

13
00:01:07,834 --> 00:01:11,565
<i>the great American explorer,</i>
<i>made a brilliant dash with dogs.</i>

14
00:01:11,738 --> 00:01:13,865
<i>Peary conquered the North Pole.</i>

15
00:01:14,474 --> 00:01:16,704
<i>There was a pause in Arctic exploration.</i>

16
00:01:16,776 --> 00:01:19,301
<i>The restless men turned to the Antarctic.</i>

17
00:01:19,379 --> 00:01:22,007
<i>Roald Amundsen conquered the South Pole...</i>

18
00:01:22,082 --> 00:01:24,516
<i>December 14, 1911.</i>

19
00:01:24,951 --> 00:01:28,512
<i>Then came aircraft,</i>
<i>and the excitement stirred again.</i>

20
00:01:28,588 --> 00:01:30,317
<i>This was Nobile's moment.</i>

21
00:01:30,557 --> 00:01:34,118
<i>Already an internationally known designer</i>
<i>and flyer of airships...</i>

22
00:01:34,694 --> 00:01:37,959
<i>he planned the most dangerous</i>
<i>of all air expeditions...</i>

23
00:01:38,031 --> 00:01:41,489
<i>to fly to the fury of the North Pole</i>
<i>and to land there.</i>

24
00:01:41,835 --> 00:01:44,463
<i>Why? For reasons of science, certainly.</i>

25
00:01:44,838 --> 00:01:48,774
<i>But there was also the explorers'</i>
<i>age-old reason or vanity...</i>

26
00:01:49,175 --> 00:01:50,972
<i>the desire to be first.</i>

27
00:01:51,044 --> 00:01:53,035
<i>General Nobile, has it been decided yet...</i>

28
00:01:53,113 --> 00:01:55,138
<i>which of your crew</i>
<i>will be the first to land...</i>

29
00:01:55,215 --> 00:01:57,274
<i>I mean put a foot on the North Pole?</i>

30
00:01:57,350 --> 00:01:58,544
<i>It has been decided.</i>

31
00:01:58,618 --> 00:02:01,746
<i>The first man to land from the air</i>
<i>at the North Pole will be myself.</i>

32
00:02:01,821 --> 00:02:03,516
<i>I will be the first man.</i>

33
00:02:03,690 --> 00:02:07,683
<i>The Italian Navy provided Nobile</i>
<i>with a support ship,</i> The City of Milan...

34
00:02:07,927 --> 00:02:10,623
<i>under the command of</i>
<i>a reliable career officer...</i>

35
00:02:10,697 --> 00:02:12,221
<i>Captain Romagna.</i>

36
00:02:12,565 --> 00:02:16,467
<i>Captain Romagna took up station</i>
<i>at the small mining town of Kingsbay...</i>

37
00:02:16,536 --> 00:02:18,936
<i>the jumping-off point of the expedition.</i>

38
00:02:19,172 --> 00:02:21,800
<i>In an expedition</i>
<i>that was to become so famous...</i>

39
00:02:21,875 --> 00:02:23,274
<i>for its failure...</i>

40
00:02:23,476 --> 00:02:25,410
<i>the questions must still be asked.</i>

41
00:02:25,478 --> 00:02:28,379
<i>Was it justified?</i>
<i>Should it have been undertaken?</i>

42
00:02:28,548 --> 00:02:30,914
<i>Was Umberto Nobile a fit leader?</i>

43
00:02:31,551 --> 00:02:35,078
<i>At the time, if there was doubt,</i>
<i>Amundsen, in an interview in Oslo...</i>

44
00:02:35,155 --> 00:02:37,589
<i>very generously dispelled the doubt.</i>

45
00:02:37,724 --> 00:02:40,318
<i>Dr. Amundsen, of what scientific value...</i>

46
00:02:40,393 --> 00:02:43,521
<i>will General Nobile's expedition be,</i>
<i>if it is successful?</i>

47
00:02:43,596 --> 00:02:45,188
<i>Of the utmost value.</i>

48
00:02:45,265 --> 00:02:48,894
<i>The Arctic is an enormous territory,</i>
<i>quite unexplored.</i>

49
00:02:49,169 --> 00:02:53,071
<i>General Nobile and I made a start</i>
<i>in the</i> Norge <i>expedition.</i>

50
00:02:53,139 --> 00:02:56,506
<i>Now he is continuing that work</i>
<i>with the</i> Italia <i>expedition.</i>

51
00:02:56,709 --> 00:03:00,475
<i>Dr. Amundsen, why aren't you</i>
<i>leading the expedition this time?</i>

52
00:03:00,547 --> 00:03:02,640
<i>My expedition days are over.</i>

53
00:03:02,916 --> 00:03:04,850
<i>Also, I wasn't asked this time.</i>

54
00:03:04,918 --> 00:03:08,410
<i>General Nobile</i>
<i>is not an expert Arctic explorer, is he?</i>

55
00:03:09,155 --> 00:03:10,850
<i>He has experts with him.</i>

56
00:03:10,957 --> 00:03:13,323
<i>I know some of the men.</i>
<i>They're excellent men.</i>

57
00:03:13,393 --> 00:03:17,386
<i>And I know General Nobile.</i>
<i>He is an excellent leader. Excellent.</i>

58
00:03:18,031 --> 00:03:21,125
<i>On May 23, at 4:00 in the afternoon...</i>

59
00:03:21,267 --> 00:03:23,895
<i>the dirigible</i> Italia
<i>left Kingsbay for the North Pole.</i>

60
00:03:51,364 --> 00:03:53,355
<i>Tragic death toll.</i>

61
00:03:53,666 --> 00:03:56,965
<i>I know General Nobile.</i>
<i>He is an excellent leader.</i>

62
00:03:57,036 --> 00:03:58,799
<i>Official investigation.</i>

63
00:03:59,105 --> 00:04:02,905
<i>- An excellent leader.</i>
<i>- Resignation of commission.</i>

64
00:04:03,710 --> 00:04:06,474
<i>- Excellent.</i>
<i>- Reduction in rank.</i>

65
00:04:06,846 --> 00:04:09,576
<i>In view of your extraordinary conduct...</i>

66
00:04:09,649 --> 00:04:13,016
<i>I never lost a ship. I never lost a man.</i>

67
00:04:13,086 --> 00:04:14,883
<i>An excellent leader.</i>

68
00:04:31,037 --> 00:04:32,971
<i>Why did you allow them to leave?</i>

69
00:04:33,039 --> 00:04:37,066
<i>25 degrees, 18 minutes, Longitude east.</i>

70
00:04:37,143 --> 00:04:39,475
<i>Demote him.</i>

71
00:04:40,213 --> 00:04:42,204
<i>The investigating commission agrees...</i>

72
00:04:42,282 --> 00:04:44,842
<i>that General Nobile's actions are contrary...</i>

73
00:04:44,917 --> 00:04:49,251
<i>to the traditions of military honor</i>
<i>and the code of military law...</i>

74
00:04:50,023 --> 00:04:52,787
<i>and it finds no plausible justification...</i>

75
00:04:52,859 --> 00:04:56,659
<i>for what can only be explained,</i>
<i>but not justified...</i>

76
00:04:57,163 --> 00:05:00,326
<i>by his physical and moral depression</i>
<i>at the time.</i>

77
00:05:08,708 --> 00:05:10,005
Lundborg?

78
00:05:11,477 --> 00:05:13,001
Where are you?

79
00:05:15,481 --> 00:05:17,472
<i>Pleasant dreams, General?</i>

80
00:05:26,292 --> 00:05:28,692
Lundborg, you're late.

81
00:05:29,662 --> 00:05:30,924
Lundborg.

82
00:05:31,531 --> 00:05:33,021
Where are you?

83
00:05:34,233 --> 00:05:36,258
Wherever you want me to be.

84
00:05:40,039 --> 00:05:42,872
Another one of those
sleepless nights, Nobile?

85
00:05:43,176 --> 00:05:44,302
Be civil.

86
00:05:44,377 --> 00:05:47,039
One thing about being dead
for a few years...

87
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,209
I don't have to be civil.

88
00:05:50,750 --> 00:05:52,684
- So, we are at it again?
- Yes.

89
00:05:53,052 --> 00:05:54,747
You're getting worse, you know it?

90
00:05:54,821 --> 00:05:58,257
It's only 10 days
since you had us here the last time.

91
00:06:00,126 --> 00:06:03,391
"A new book about Nobile,
<i>Fresh Light on an Old Scandal. "</i>

92
00:06:04,063 --> 00:06:05,894
- That today's?
- It is.

93
00:06:06,165 --> 00:06:10,067
Jesus Christ, it's 40 years ago,
and they still think it's interesting.

94
00:06:10,136 --> 00:06:11,763
Very interesting.

95
00:06:12,472 --> 00:06:15,134
- Court in session, then?
- Apparently.

96
00:06:15,742 --> 00:06:19,143
- Are you bringing Valeria in?
- Yes.

97
00:06:20,113 --> 00:06:21,705
Come in, Valeria.

98
00:06:22,115 --> 00:06:23,343
Valeria!

99
00:06:34,293 --> 00:06:35,817
You look great.

100
00:06:37,096 --> 00:06:39,929
General, your imagination
is working well tonight.

101
00:06:40,233 --> 00:06:41,825
She looks great.

102
00:06:44,437 --> 00:06:45,665
Valeria.

103
00:06:47,039 --> 00:06:49,303
When will you stop
walking the night, General?

104
00:06:49,375 --> 00:06:51,138
It has been 40 years.

105
00:06:52,078 --> 00:06:53,272
Court in session?

106
00:06:53,346 --> 00:06:54,973
God, it's a bore.

107
00:06:55,314 --> 00:06:56,872
Not altogether.

108
00:07:13,666 --> 00:07:15,566
Who are you looking for?

109
00:07:16,369 --> 00:07:19,202
You, old man! She's looking for Malmgren.

110
00:07:19,605 --> 00:07:23,166
Malmgren the Immaculate.
Will your imagination stretch to that?

111
00:07:24,210 --> 00:07:25,939
Don't call me old, Lieutenant.

112
00:07:26,012 --> 00:07:28,139
Boy, it would stretch to anything.

113
00:07:28,881 --> 00:07:31,213
Take your feet off my table.

114
00:07:31,417 --> 00:07:32,645
Yes, Valeria.

115
00:07:32,718 --> 00:07:34,618
Dr. Malmgren is arriving now.

116
00:07:47,033 --> 00:07:48,261
Lovely.

117
00:07:48,568 --> 00:07:52,129
We've got Saint Sebastian
in his working clothes tonight.

118
00:08:13,493 --> 00:08:14,983
I'm cold, Nurse.

119
00:08:15,061 --> 00:08:17,529
That's funny, Mr. Rindborg,
because I'm quite warm.

120
00:08:17,597 --> 00:08:20,725
So they say. You wouldn't care to...

121
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,358
No, I wouldn't.

122
00:08:27,273 --> 00:08:29,639
My temperature is rising, Nurse.

123
00:08:32,111 --> 00:08:35,512
You're all such tigers
when you're safe in here.

124
00:08:35,615 --> 00:08:37,276
Excuse me, Nurse.

125
00:08:38,751 --> 00:08:40,946
I've just arrived here, I...

126
00:08:41,020 --> 00:08:43,250
Wait in the dispensary, please.

127
00:08:45,491 --> 00:08:48,221
Some people won't even knock on a door.

128
00:08:49,795 --> 00:08:52,423
- My name is Finn Malmgren.
- Do sit down.

129
00:08:56,168 --> 00:08:57,897
- I'd like to borrow...
- Name?

130
00:08:57,970 --> 00:08:59,460
Finn Malmgren.

131
00:09:00,206 --> 00:09:02,140
- Nationality.
- Swedish.

132
00:09:04,343 --> 00:09:06,470
Surface worker or below ground?

133
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,671
I'm not employed
by the mining company, Nurse.

134
00:09:10,283 --> 00:09:12,751
I'm a member of General Nobile's expedition.

135
00:09:13,653 --> 00:09:15,883
Are you the famous explorer Malmgren?

136
00:09:16,088 --> 00:09:18,784
I'm the only Malmgren on the expedition.

137
00:09:19,825 --> 00:09:23,124
- I beg your pardon.
- There is no need to apologize.

138
00:09:23,563 --> 00:09:26,225
- What do you want?
- Someone dropped the iodine bottle.

139
00:09:26,299 --> 00:09:28,790
I wondered if you could spare some.

140
00:09:30,036 --> 00:09:33,472
You seem to be very popular
with your patients, Nurse.

141
00:09:33,940 --> 00:09:35,407
Will that do?

142
00:09:37,543 --> 00:09:38,874
Thank you.

143
00:09:39,211 --> 00:09:40,473
Goodbye.

144
00:09:43,883 --> 00:09:45,145
Goodbye.

145
00:09:50,189 --> 00:09:52,680
- When do you leave?
- Quite soon now...

146
00:09:52,758 --> 00:09:56,694
but the pity is that we shall be
without Amundsen this time.

147
00:09:57,096 --> 00:09:58,723
What is this Amundsen?

148
00:09:58,831 --> 00:10:00,355
He's a leader.

149
00:10:01,300 --> 00:10:03,632
And General Nobile, is he a leader?

150
00:10:03,803 --> 00:10:06,203
A general is a leader by profession.

151
00:10:06,606 --> 00:10:07,971
I like him a lot.

152
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,100
He has a terrible appetite
for anything splendid.

153
00:10:11,210 --> 00:10:15,704
He wants to go to the North Pole
to see if he's as good as Amundsen.

154
00:10:16,749 --> 00:10:18,478
Isn't that a bit silly?

155
00:10:18,551 --> 00:10:22,112
To measure yourself against Amundsen?

156
00:10:22,888 --> 00:10:24,549
Ambitious, not silly.

157
00:10:24,624 --> 00:10:26,353
Is that why you're going?

158
00:10:26,626 --> 00:10:27,650
No.

159
00:10:28,427 --> 00:10:29,792
Why, then?

160
00:10:31,664 --> 00:10:33,825
I don't even know your name.

161
00:10:34,934 --> 00:10:36,162
Valeria.

162
00:10:37,470 --> 00:10:39,370
I want to go because...

163
00:10:40,706 --> 00:10:43,903
it has something to do with...

164
00:10:44,844 --> 00:10:47,438
emptiness, loneliness...

165
00:10:48,981 --> 00:10:50,471
beauty, and...

166
00:10:52,118 --> 00:10:53,312
purity.

167
00:11:55,748 --> 00:11:58,876
Is that all you're going to do with her,
hold hands?

168
00:11:59,485 --> 00:12:02,545
My God, Malmgren.
You were a ghost when you were still alive.

169
00:12:02,621 --> 00:12:05,590
- I've had it. I'm gone.
- On the contrary, Lieutenant.

170
00:12:06,092 --> 00:12:07,992
You are tonight's prosecutor.

171
00:12:08,394 --> 00:12:10,658
- Me?
- Yes.

172
00:12:11,731 --> 00:12:13,858
Look, Nobile, if I prosecute...

173
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,991
I'll reach a conclusion.

174
00:12:17,136 --> 00:12:19,604
- Exactly.
- Will Amundsen be coming?

175
00:12:20,973 --> 00:12:23,771
You'll never reach a conclusion
without Amundsen.

176
00:12:24,210 --> 00:12:25,336
Oh, boy.

177
00:12:26,846 --> 00:12:28,837
There's your prosecutor.

178
00:12:28,914 --> 00:12:33,180
He's pure in heart, is Dr. Malmgren,
and he'd skin you alive to prove it.

179
00:12:33,252 --> 00:12:35,345
No, you are my prosecutor.

180
00:12:35,888 --> 00:12:37,219
All right.

181
00:12:40,726 --> 00:12:42,250
Well, then...

182
00:12:42,328 --> 00:12:45,161
in the absence
of the great, good Amundsen...

183
00:12:46,031 --> 00:12:47,259
I'll have Biagi.

184
00:12:47,333 --> 00:12:51,269
Biagi. I'd almost forgotten Biagi.

185
00:12:51,337 --> 00:12:54,033
I bet Biagi hasn't forgotten about you.

186
00:12:54,106 --> 00:12:56,131
- No, sir.
- Biagi.

187
00:12:56,942 --> 00:12:58,034
General.

188
00:12:58,911 --> 00:13:00,401
Captain Zappi.

189
00:13:10,322 --> 00:13:11,983
At ease, Sergeant.

190
00:13:39,018 --> 00:13:40,417
Anyone else?

191
00:13:42,421 --> 00:13:43,513
Nope.

192
00:13:49,161 --> 00:13:50,822
Ready for takeoff.

193
00:13:57,136 --> 00:13:59,570
It was Kingsbay, Spitzbergen.

194
00:14:00,139 --> 00:14:03,165
<i>4:00 on Wednesday, May 23...</i>

195
00:14:03,576 --> 00:14:05,339
<i>1928.</i>

196
00:17:06,458 --> 00:17:08,050
- Visibility?
- 50 miles.

197
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:09,652
Well?

198
00:17:10,295 --> 00:17:11,785
Over 20 knots.

199
00:17:14,066 --> 00:17:18,400
We should be picking up the winds
coming off the high-pressure area.

200
00:17:18,937 --> 00:17:21,064
In this position. Here.

201
00:17:22,207 --> 00:17:25,973
- All engines at even revs, General.
- Cecioni!

202
00:17:26,612 --> 00:17:29,103
Watch the oil pressure in number three.

203
00:17:29,181 --> 00:17:31,308
- Yes, sir!
- Viglieri.

204
00:17:32,184 --> 00:17:34,709
- Yes?
- Stand by to measure altitude.

205
00:17:35,921 --> 00:17:37,548
Position, please.

206
00:17:37,623 --> 00:17:40,786
83 degrees Latitude, 26 degrees Longitude.

207
00:17:41,060 --> 00:17:42,925
Temperature: 40 degrees.

208
00:17:48,367 --> 00:17:49,766
Start.

209
00:17:52,905 --> 00:17:55,499
- Troiani?
- Altitude 500 feet.

210
00:17:55,574 --> 00:17:57,474
Biagi, contact Kingsbay.

211
00:18:01,513 --> 00:18:03,481
Speed: 57 miles an hour.

212
00:18:08,854 --> 00:18:09,946
"The airship <i>Italia...</i>

213
00:18:10,022 --> 00:18:12,490

220
00:18:28,474 --> 00:18:29,532
That's all, gentlemen.

221
00:18:29,608 --> 00:18:31,803
- Sir.
- Here's something more.

222
00:18:32,845 --> 00:18:35,814
As of four minutes ago...

223
00:18:36,248 --> 00:18:39,706
the <i>Italia</i> was at 83 degrees Latitude...

224
00:18:40,085 --> 00:18:42,280
and 26 degrees Longitude.

225
00:18:42,354 --> 00:18:45,118
Do conditions still permit a landing
at the pole?

226
00:18:45,190 --> 00:18:47,681
- I really don't know.
- Is Titina with them?

227
00:18:47,793 --> 00:18:50,694
- I beg your pardon?
- The General's little dog.

228
00:18:50,762 --> 00:18:53,424
My duties do not extend
to the General's little dog.

229
00:18:53,499 --> 00:18:55,967
Can you tell us
what your duties are, Captain?

230
00:18:56,034 --> 00:18:58,264
I'm to maintain radio contact
with the General...

231
00:18:58,337 --> 00:19:01,204
at prearranged times
and prearranged wavelengths.

232
00:19:01,273 --> 00:19:03,605
- What times, Captain?
- Two hours on, two hours off.

233
00:19:03,675 --> 00:19:06,143
What wavelength are they using, Captain?

234
00:19:06,678 --> 00:19:08,270
I'm not authorized to tell you that.

235
00:19:08,347 --> 00:19:11,339
Press information will be limited
to the position of the airship...

236
00:19:11,416 --> 00:19:12,940
and the weather conditions prevailing.

237
00:19:13,018 --> 00:19:17,216
By noon tomorrow, the airship is expected
to be nearing its objective.

238
00:19:17,656 --> 00:19:21,387
<i>It has now successfully completed 250 miles.</i>

239
00:19:26,165 --> 00:19:27,826
Our coordinates, please.

240
00:19:27,900 --> 00:19:32,769
27 degrees west of Greenwich,
latitude 84 degrees, 20 minutes.

241
00:19:36,742 --> 00:19:38,937
Height: 750 feet.

242
00:19:43,115 --> 00:19:45,242
Airspeed: 80 miles an hour.

243
00:19:47,085 --> 00:19:49,610
Up elevators. Go to 1,300 feet.

244
00:19:54,293 --> 00:19:55,783
Dr. Malmgren...

245
00:19:55,861 --> 00:19:58,853
there's a message, sir,
from Tromso Institute.

246
00:20:02,167 --> 00:20:04,567
Tromso Institute reports
the high-pressure area...

247
00:20:04,636 --> 00:20:06,263
is becoming unstable.

248
00:20:06,338 --> 00:20:09,899
But they also say that the wind should hold
until we reach the Pole.

249
00:20:09,975 --> 00:20:11,101
Good.

250
00:20:14,379 --> 00:20:18,213
Dense cloud, 3,000 feet,
forming on horizon to starboard.

251
00:20:20,419 --> 00:20:24,515
- 88 degrees, 10 minutes north, General.
- 44 miles to the pole.

252
00:20:25,724 --> 00:20:28,852
There. It looks like
you're very lucky, General.

253
00:20:30,395 --> 00:20:32,488
Put on your furs, gentlemen.

254
00:20:34,900 --> 00:20:37,528
- Troiani, go down to 400 meters.
- Yes, sir.

255
00:20:38,537 --> 00:20:40,528
- Captain Zappi.
- Yes, sir?

256
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,908
- Get the anchor lines ready.
- Yes, sir. Out mooring ropes.

257
00:20:45,978 --> 00:20:49,812
Biagi, we're approaching the Pole.
All engines minimum speed.

258
00:20:50,182 --> 00:20:52,878
Troiani, prepare the basket for lowering.

259
00:20:52,951 --> 00:20:55,317
- All right.
- Ahoy in the keelson.

260
00:20:56,388 --> 00:20:58,413
Stand by the anchor lines.

261
00:21:00,125 --> 00:21:03,458
- Stop starboard engine.
- Get ready to lower the basket!

262
00:21:03,962 --> 00:21:05,691
Landing will be difficult.

263
00:21:06,131 --> 00:21:08,599
Wind is about 35 knots.

264
00:21:10,168 --> 00:21:13,968
The anchor lines are ready, General.
The men are standing by.

265
00:21:15,474 --> 00:21:18,341
- Hold at 450 feet.
- Very well, sir.

266
00:21:19,845 --> 00:21:23,281
Dr. Malmgren, circle, minimum radius.

267
00:21:23,615 --> 00:21:25,242
- Yes, sir.
- We're going down.

268
00:21:25,317 --> 00:21:28,411
- That's what we came here for.
- Are we close?

269
00:21:29,855 --> 00:21:31,686
- Biagi.
- Sir?

270
00:21:31,757 --> 00:21:35,090
When we've circled,
transmit that we're at the Pole.

271
00:21:36,728 --> 00:21:38,218
May I tell the crew?

272
00:21:38,930 --> 00:21:39,954
Boys!

273
00:21:40,532 --> 00:21:42,193
Boys, we made it!

274
00:21:43,669 --> 00:21:45,159
<i>Viva I'Italia!</i>

275
00:21:46,638 --> 00:21:48,037
<i>Viva I'Italia!</i>

276
00:21:48,740 --> 00:21:49,832
<i>Viva!</i>

277
00:21:58,884 --> 00:22:01,182
To the ship.

278
00:22:01,820 --> 00:22:04,414
<i>Viva I'Italia!</i>

279
00:22:15,434 --> 00:22:16,696
Malmgren.

280
00:22:18,470 --> 00:22:19,801
Thank you.

281
00:22:21,373 --> 00:22:24,706
Not many men can say
they've been to the pole twice.

282
00:22:26,244 --> 00:22:29,680
It's a pity Amundsen was not here with us.

283
00:22:30,048 --> 00:22:31,174
What?

284
00:22:31,683 --> 00:22:34,174
It's a pity Amundsen was not here with us.

285
00:22:34,653 --> 00:22:35,881
Yes.

286
00:22:36,655 --> 00:22:39,590
- Give me a hand with this.
- Biagi.

287
00:22:45,797 --> 00:22:48,027
Holy kingdom of God and Italy.

288
00:22:52,104 --> 00:22:53,901
- General!
- Here goes.

289
00:22:58,744 --> 00:23:00,268
<i>Viva I'Italia!</i>

290
00:23:02,514 --> 00:23:05,506
The cloud back to starboard
seems to be closing on us, General.

291
00:23:05,584 --> 00:23:07,745
Visibility down to 15 miles.

292
00:23:09,654 --> 00:23:11,383
Good news, Captain.

293
00:23:13,725 --> 00:23:15,852
"A cross and the Italian flag...

294
00:23:16,695 --> 00:23:18,424
"were dropped at the North Pole...

295
00:23:18,497 --> 00:23:20,658
"at 1247 hours, precisely."

296
00:23:21,032 --> 00:23:22,590
Are they going to land?

297
00:23:22,667 --> 00:23:23,929
Go on. Tell us.

298
00:23:27,339 --> 00:23:29,500
What's your opinion, Doctor?

299
00:23:30,509 --> 00:23:33,603
It's better to go back to Kingsbay.
The wind will be against us.

300
00:23:33,678 --> 00:23:36,704
The fog is thickening.
The temperature is dropping.

301
00:23:36,782 --> 00:23:38,943
Will it mean postponing the landing?

302
00:23:39,017 --> 00:23:42,009
General, we may never get a second chance.

303
00:23:42,087 --> 00:23:44,851
- At least we should try it.
- It is risky.

304
00:23:45,424 --> 00:23:48,188
Dr. Malmgren,
you forget that in the eyes of the world...

305
00:23:48,260 --> 00:23:49,818
the honor of Italy is at stake.

306
00:23:49,895 --> 00:23:52,455
- Mine, too.
- Excuse me, General...

307
00:23:52,531 --> 00:23:54,897
but your honor lies
in accomplishing your mission.

308
00:23:54,966 --> 00:23:57,400
It lies in the lives of your men.

309
00:24:00,439 --> 00:24:04,000
The course is back
to Spitzbergen. Understood?

310
00:24:04,309 --> 00:24:05,708
To Kingsbay.

311
00:24:13,718 --> 00:24:17,347
It's 1:00.
They should be down on the ice now.

312
00:24:17,722 --> 00:24:19,485
Here's the Captain.

313
00:24:24,062 --> 00:24:26,326
The <i>Italia</i> airship is returning here.

314
00:24:27,332 --> 00:24:32,065
I spent four weeks in this Godforsaken
icebox of a dump, and no story!

315
00:24:36,208 --> 00:24:41,009
- Headwinds increasing to 45 miles an hour.
- Dr. Malmgren, I'll take the wheel.

316
00:24:41,079 --> 00:24:44,412
- We're listing to stern.
- General, you must come up to the keelson!

317
00:24:44,483 --> 00:24:48,044
- The metal frame is icing now.
- We must get more height.

318
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,280
Up elevators. Behounek!

319
00:24:54,259 --> 00:24:55,851
- Mariano!
- General?

320
00:24:56,027 --> 00:24:59,224
Keep all engines at full speed.
We must maintain altitude.

321
00:24:59,297 --> 00:25:00,559
Yes, sir!

322
00:25:01,733 --> 00:25:04,896
For God's sake,
get the engines up to 1,400 revs!

323
00:25:07,739 --> 00:25:10,731
The ice is building up. We're losing altitude.

324
00:25:19,618 --> 00:25:21,108
Escape of gas.

325
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,349
- This valve is frozen.
- Get rid of the ice.

326
00:25:25,757 --> 00:25:27,122
Cut it off.

327
00:25:27,425 --> 00:25:30,258
Pomella, Alessandrini, break off the ice!

328
00:25:31,863 --> 00:25:33,854
Jettison all extra weight.

329
00:25:35,100 --> 00:25:37,967
Jettison the tents, the skis, the sledges!

330
00:25:38,103 --> 00:25:40,765
Check all around for ice! Use hammers!

331
00:25:41,006 --> 00:25:42,769
Get the valves shut!

332
00:25:46,912 --> 00:25:49,437
General, we're still heavy.

333
00:25:50,615 --> 00:25:53,914
General! I've lost contact!
I've lost all contact, sir!

334
00:25:53,985 --> 00:25:58,752
All right. Continue transmitting.
Dr. Malmgren, give Biagi our position again.

335
00:25:58,957 --> 00:26:00,219
Sergeant.

336
00:26:01,159 --> 00:26:03,650
We're still dropping fast, General.

337
00:26:04,296 --> 00:26:06,764
There's an escape of gas in the prow.

338
00:26:07,599 --> 00:26:09,692
- Stop all engines.
- Yes, sir.

339
00:26:09,768 --> 00:26:11,167
Immediately!

340
00:26:20,579 --> 00:26:23,776
Number three control is jammed.
We can't move it, sir.

341
00:26:23,848 --> 00:26:26,078
All right, stay at the wheel.

342
00:26:32,857 --> 00:26:35,325
One engine's on fire!

343
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,586
I know. If we hit, we'll burn.

344
00:26:52,744 --> 00:26:55,542
- Rest of the ballast!
- Out with the ballast!

345
00:26:57,182 --> 00:27:00,515
All right, throw it out.
Everything except the fuel.

346
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:03,787
Lose those boxes!

347
00:27:04,856 --> 00:27:07,347
- See that he gets below.
- All right.

348
00:27:11,930 --> 00:27:14,228
Everything!

349
00:27:18,603 --> 00:27:20,662
We're out of control, sir!

350
00:27:30,715 --> 00:27:33,513
Out of my way, Zappi. I'll take the wheel.

351
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:35,586
I'll take it.

352
00:27:36,988 --> 00:27:38,580
Brace for crash!

353
00:28:56,167 --> 00:28:57,395
General.

354
00:29:00,071 --> 00:29:01,936
Thank God you're safe.

355
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:03,605
General.

356
00:29:03,942 --> 00:29:05,534
General Nobile.

357
00:29:08,980 --> 00:29:11,540
It's me, Zappi.

358
00:29:28,933 --> 00:29:31,401
Biagi.

359
00:29:50,822 --> 00:29:52,847
- Are you...
- I'm all right.

360
00:29:59,998 --> 00:30:01,397
- My leg!
- Easy!

361
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,564
My leg, it's smashed!

362
00:30:04,936 --> 00:30:06,028
Easy!

363
00:30:07,005 --> 00:30:09,530
We're finished. We're all finished.

364
00:30:11,042 --> 00:30:13,169
Mariano, get up.

365
00:30:13,511 --> 00:30:15,479
Get up! Are you all right.

366
00:30:16,381 --> 00:30:20,181
You are all right. Now, listen to me.
You are fine.

367
00:30:23,321 --> 00:30:24,549
Mariano.

368
00:30:25,990 --> 00:30:27,480
Mariano, please.

369
00:30:27,792 --> 00:30:30,283
It's me, Zappi.

370
00:30:33,531 --> 00:30:34,759
Stop it!

371
00:30:46,711 --> 00:30:47,905
Captain Zappi.

372
00:30:47,979 --> 00:30:50,743
Stop it, Mariano!

373
00:30:57,288 --> 00:30:59,950
We're finished, Zappi. We're finished.

374
00:31:10,101 --> 00:31:11,966
Malmgren!

375
00:31:12,403 --> 00:31:14,428
Zappi, General, look!

376
00:31:19,978 --> 00:31:21,445
Dr. Malmgren!

377
00:31:29,387 --> 00:31:30,547
Don't!

378
00:31:34,125 --> 00:31:37,060
Don't do it, Dr. Malmgren!

379
00:31:48,039 --> 00:31:49,666
Forgive me, please!

380
00:31:50,074 --> 00:31:51,405
I'm sorry.

381
00:31:52,277 --> 00:31:54,871
None of us have the right to do that.

382
00:31:56,214 --> 00:31:58,114
We all need each other.

383
00:31:59,784 --> 00:32:01,775
How many of us are there?

384
00:32:03,321 --> 00:32:05,516
I think, eight. Eight.

385
00:32:06,224 --> 00:32:07,452
Nine!

386
00:32:12,196 --> 00:32:13,390
Viglieri!

387
00:32:20,705 --> 00:32:23,538
Viglieri! Did you see the others?

388
00:32:24,008 --> 00:32:27,102
- What happened to the others?
- Yes, I saw them.

389
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:30,645
I saw them.

390
00:32:31,416 --> 00:32:33,475
I saw them in the keelson.

391
00:32:33,751 --> 00:32:35,878
They blew away like a kite.

392
00:33:26,537 --> 00:33:28,698
A tent! I found a tent!

393
00:33:28,773 --> 00:33:29,865
Good.

394
00:33:36,047 --> 00:33:38,481
We need some help! It's a tent!

395
00:33:58,102 --> 00:33:59,797
I found the radio!

396
00:34:00,471 --> 00:34:01,995
The radio!

397
00:34:02,940 --> 00:34:04,339
We're safe!

398
00:34:04,709 --> 00:34:07,234
We found the radio! Zappi, you found it!

399
00:34:07,311 --> 00:34:08,972
Now we can get through to Kingsbay.

400
00:34:09,047 --> 00:34:10,947
General! We are safe.

401
00:34:14,419 --> 00:34:18,651
- The radio!
- Your baby, Biagi!

402
00:34:21,626 --> 00:34:24,060
I told him, didn't I? I told him!

403
00:34:35,773 --> 00:34:39,231
You can fix it, Biagi.
I know you can get it going.

404
00:34:59,530 --> 00:35:02,294
The dog!

405
00:35:02,567 --> 00:35:04,467
Titina's alive!

406
00:35:04,702 --> 00:35:07,364
Your dog's alive, General!

407
00:35:09,340 --> 00:35:11,934
Help me! Over here!

408
00:35:12,743 --> 00:35:13,835
Here!

409
00:35:15,780 --> 00:35:16,872
Here.

410
00:35:18,683 --> 00:35:20,480
Pomella.

411
00:35:42,940 --> 00:35:44,669
Lord, we pray thee...

412
00:35:44,742 --> 00:35:47,506
release the soul of this,
thy servant Vincenzo Pomella...

413
00:35:47,578 --> 00:35:49,102
from every bond of sin...

414
00:35:49,180 --> 00:35:51,614
so that in the glory of the resurrection...

415
00:35:51,682 --> 00:35:54,776
he may rise again to live among the saints.

416
00:35:58,890 --> 00:36:00,255
Amen.

417
00:36:03,561 --> 00:36:06,621
Very well. We're alive. Back to work.

418
00:36:12,470 --> 00:36:14,370
Take your time, Biagi.

419
00:36:17,975 --> 00:36:20,842
You'll do it.
Then we can transmit our position...

420
00:36:20,912 --> 00:36:22,379
and they'll come and get us.

421
00:36:22,446 --> 00:36:24,243
- How?
- Airplane.

422
00:36:24,982 --> 00:36:27,314
There are no airplanes at Kingsbay.

423
00:36:27,552 --> 00:36:29,816
There were no airplanes at Kingsbay.

424
00:36:30,721 --> 00:36:32,655
Captain Romagna will get things moving.

425
00:36:37,828 --> 00:36:39,295
Nothing, sir.

426
00:36:55,546 --> 00:36:57,480
Signal Admiralty, Rome.

427
00:36:58,449 --> 00:37:00,508
Still no contact, <i>Italia</i> airship.

428
00:37:01,419 --> 00:37:02,818
Request instructions.

429
00:37:02,887 --> 00:37:06,482
Instructions? You signaled for instructions?

430
00:37:06,691 --> 00:37:08,784
That's right. What would you have done?

431
00:37:08,859 --> 00:37:11,987
- Something!
- Yes. Initiative.

432
00:37:12,930 --> 00:37:15,865
General Nobile,
I was 37 years a serving officer.

433
00:37:16,434 --> 00:37:19,232
I was never in any way famous.
I was never, as you are...

434
00:37:19,303 --> 00:37:22,238
the subject of newspaper articles
or public debate.

435
00:37:22,306 --> 00:37:25,366
- But I never lost a ship!
- You never did anything, Romagna.

436
00:37:25,443 --> 00:37:27,274
Without orders, no.

437
00:37:27,745 --> 00:37:30,771
But in all my life,
I never disobeyed an order.

438
00:37:30,848 --> 00:37:32,611
Can you say as much?

439
00:37:33,417 --> 00:37:36,784
I never lost a ship. I never lost a man.

440
00:37:36,854 --> 00:37:38,515
You didn't find any, either, did you?

441
00:37:38,589 --> 00:37:41,854
With what?
And where should I have looked for them?

442
00:37:45,763 --> 00:37:48,231
We had no means of knowing
what time they crashed...

443
00:37:48,299 --> 00:37:50,062
within three hours.

444
00:37:50,568 --> 00:37:52,593
You were last heard from here.

445
00:37:52,670 --> 00:37:55,901
If you were running against the storm
and trying to make Kingsbay...

446
00:37:55,973 --> 00:37:58,339
you could've been
around Franz Josef Land here.

447
00:37:58,409 --> 00:38:01,674
But if you were running towards Greenland
with the gale behind you...

448
00:38:01,746 --> 00:38:04,112
then you were over the Arctic Ocean here.

449
00:38:04,181 --> 00:38:07,412
Within that area.
Two million square kilometers.

450
00:38:08,319 --> 00:38:10,844
You could have been anywhere,
if you were still alive.

451
00:38:10,921 --> 00:38:12,513
So you assumed that we were dead?

452
00:38:12,590 --> 00:38:15,923
I made no assumption.
I was waiting for orders.

453
00:38:15,993 --> 00:38:17,585
For five days!

454
00:38:17,662 --> 00:38:21,689
We were still waiting for you there,
less than 100 miles from Kingsbay.

455
00:38:22,099 --> 00:38:24,932
Starving. And you were waiting for orders?

456
00:38:33,044 --> 00:38:34,443
A red tent.

457
00:38:35,179 --> 00:38:37,875
A mark for the aircraft that will never come.

458
00:38:38,449 --> 00:38:40,417
They will come, Dr. Malmgren.

459
00:38:41,185 --> 00:38:44,086
- They will see us.
- Come on, Biagi!

460
00:38:44,689 --> 00:38:46,850
Your biscuit's getting cold.

461
00:38:49,393 --> 00:38:52,829
Here's your three-course dinner.
Meat, vegetables, and cheese.

462
00:38:53,497 --> 00:38:56,466
- Pemmican again.
- Dr. Amundsen's recipe?

463
00:38:57,034 --> 00:38:59,798
No, I improved on Dr. Amundsen's recipe.

464
00:39:00,304 --> 00:39:01,828
Titina's share.

465
00:39:06,377 --> 00:39:09,039
Titina has better taste than we have.

466
00:39:09,347 --> 00:39:11,406
Pemmican is the bread of the Arctic.

467
00:39:11,482 --> 00:39:14,315
- It'll keep you alive.
- Keep alive, Biagi.

468
00:39:19,390 --> 00:39:21,153
What's wrong, Biagi?

469
00:39:24,829 --> 00:39:26,126
What is it?

470
00:39:26,197 --> 00:39:27,858
It's the resistor.

471
00:39:36,574 --> 00:39:37,836
Any hope?

472
00:40:28,092 --> 00:40:30,560
Malmgren, will a pistol do it?

473
00:40:44,809 --> 00:40:46,970
He's going for the body in the ice.

474
00:40:48,879 --> 00:40:51,404
If we can kill him, it's food for a month.

475
00:41:43,234 --> 00:41:46,362
I'm not waiting for the soup.
I'll have it in tartar.

476
00:41:47,738 --> 00:41:50,104
One shot through the head. That's shooting.

477
00:41:50,174 --> 00:41:52,438
I like my meat stewed.

478
00:42:06,657 --> 00:42:09,057
Stop it, all of you.

479
00:42:09,593 --> 00:42:12,756
You've been starving 13 days.
If you gulp it, you'll fall ill.

480
00:42:12,830 --> 00:42:16,095
Chew it 20 times.
If you fall ill here, you'll die.

481
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:20,258
- We'll die here anyway.
- There's no need to die like a beast.

482
00:42:23,374 --> 00:42:25,899
Kingsbay, gateway to the North Pole.

483
00:42:26,377 --> 00:42:27,935
Buy one? Souvenirs.

484
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,581
The Royal pilots, they take off over there.

485
00:42:33,217 --> 00:42:36,914
They will rescue General Nobile
and his daring Italians...

486
00:42:38,355 --> 00:42:41,415
Are you looking for a room, lady?
It will be 12 Kroner.

487
00:42:41,492 --> 00:42:44,325
You know, people are swarming in like flies.

488
00:42:45,496 --> 00:42:46,588
Thank God.

489
00:42:46,830 --> 00:42:50,288
After all, if those poor men
hadn't crashed on the ice...

490
00:42:50,367 --> 00:42:53,200
then who would have heard of Kingsbay?

491
00:42:53,270 --> 00:42:56,171
It was a stroke of luck.
All right for them, all right for you...

492
00:42:56,240 --> 00:42:58,800
and certainly all right
for the men on the ice.

493
00:42:58,876 --> 00:43:00,468
Something wrong?

494
00:43:33,243 --> 00:43:36,178
Gentlemen, please be quiet.
Be quiet, please.

495
00:43:37,615 --> 00:43:40,607
I'm doing everything I can
under the circumstances.

496
00:43:40,684 --> 00:43:43,278
Winds of gale force are cutting up the pack.

497
00:43:43,354 --> 00:43:46,414
The ice itself
may shortly be expected to move.

498
00:43:47,424 --> 00:43:50,723
They could be anywhere within that area.

499
00:43:52,296 --> 00:43:54,526
Two million square kilometers.

500
00:43:59,203 --> 00:44:02,570
Those will be the aircraft
promised by the Royal Swedish Air Force.

501
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,437
How many aircraft in all now, Captain?

502
00:44:04,508 --> 00:44:06,601
Two Italian, two Norwegian...

503
00:44:08,012 --> 00:44:10,242
one German, and three Swedish.

504
00:44:10,648 --> 00:44:12,878
Unfortunately, only the Swedish planes...

505
00:44:12,950 --> 00:44:15,578
are equipped with skis
for landing on the ice.

506
00:44:15,653 --> 00:44:18,417
Those with pontoons
are useful only for reconnaissance.

507
00:44:18,489 --> 00:44:20,582
Are any of your aircraft searching now?

508
00:44:20,658 --> 00:44:23,320
Weather permitting, they will fly tomorrow.

509
00:44:23,394 --> 00:44:26,522
If General Nobile is transmitting,
is it not a fact...

510
00:44:26,597 --> 00:44:30,363
that his signals could be lofting up
and coming down pretty well anywhere...

511
00:44:30,434 --> 00:44:32,299
that they could be picked up by anyone...

512
00:44:32,369 --> 00:44:35,099
- who happened to be in the right place?
- I believe so, yes.

513
00:44:35,172 --> 00:44:37,663
Then ought you not to make public
the wavelengths...

514
00:44:37,741 --> 00:44:40,301
on which General Nobile
may be transmitting?

515
00:44:40,377 --> 00:44:42,538
I will ask Rome for authority to do so.

516
00:44:42,613 --> 00:44:46,140
Captain Romagna, do you believe
there are any survivors?

517
00:44:46,350 --> 00:44:47,681
Amundsen doesn't.

518
00:44:47,751 --> 00:44:51,243
I flew down to Oslo and got
a short interview with Dr. Amundsen.

519
00:44:51,321 --> 00:44:55,724
He says the chances are
that anybody who survived the crash...

520
00:44:56,293 --> 00:44:58,784
won't have survived this last week.

521
00:44:59,096 --> 00:45:01,826
Captain, you said something about drift.

522
00:45:02,032 --> 00:45:04,796
The pack is drifting
as much as 20 miles a day.

523
00:45:18,582 --> 00:45:21,107
Biagi.

524
00:45:21,385 --> 00:45:23,910
- What?
- What does a resistor do?

525
00:45:25,189 --> 00:45:26,554
It resists.

526
00:45:32,129 --> 00:45:34,654
It goes between the coil and the...

527
00:45:34,832 --> 00:45:36,800
I know where it goes. What does it do?

528
00:45:36,867 --> 00:45:40,394
In the name of God,
no more talk about the bloody resistor.

529
00:45:40,604 --> 00:45:42,333
What is it made of?

530
00:45:43,140 --> 00:45:45,973
I think, carbon.

531
00:45:46,777 --> 00:45:48,938
- Powered carbon.
- Graphite.

532
00:45:51,648 --> 00:45:55,140
- Has anyone got a lead pencil?
- Yes. Why?

533
00:45:55,686 --> 00:45:58,678
Because... Give it to me.

534
00:46:01,959 --> 00:46:03,324
Because...

535
00:46:08,599 --> 00:46:12,091
Graphite is an allotrope of carbon.

536
00:46:16,774 --> 00:46:18,036
Biagi...

537
00:46:19,176 --> 00:46:21,201
I think that's a resistor.

538
00:46:26,917 --> 00:46:28,282
That's brilliant.

539
00:46:36,226 --> 00:46:37,386
Well, Biagi?

540
00:47:12,496 --> 00:47:14,487
Let me hear.

541
00:47:18,669 --> 00:47:22,469
- Let me hear!
- All right, Cecioni.

542
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:25,474
Here, let's turn this over the earphone.

543
00:47:51,435 --> 00:47:52,902
Start transmitting.

544
00:47:53,737 --> 00:47:55,534
- Yes, sir.
- They'll be receiving now.

545
00:47:55,606 --> 00:47:58,302
The scheduled two hours is up
in a few minutes.

546
00:48:25,736 --> 00:48:26,998
Anything?

547
00:48:28,972 --> 00:48:30,371
What do you think?

548
00:48:33,610 --> 00:48:35,077
Routine signals.

549
00:48:35,145 --> 00:48:39,582
I suppose they could be in a radio shadow.
Not that it matters. They're dead.

550
00:48:50,193 --> 00:48:51,785
Anybody flying today?

551
00:48:52,329 --> 00:48:55,230
Only Lundborg is mad enough
to try to go up in this.

552
00:48:55,332 --> 00:48:56,924
- Who?
- Lundborg.

553
00:48:57,034 --> 00:48:58,160
He tried once today...

554
00:48:58,235 --> 00:49:00,897
but he came down
faster than he went up. See?

555
00:49:18,689 --> 00:49:20,316
Are you Lundborg?

556
00:49:26,263 --> 00:49:28,993
- Are you going up again?
- Ask him.

557
00:49:29,366 --> 00:49:31,163
When do you think you'll leave?

558
00:49:31,234 --> 00:49:34,169
Tomorrow, the day after, in a...

559
00:49:35,138 --> 00:49:36,264
In a week.

560
00:49:38,108 --> 00:49:40,702
It depends on the clouds, on the sun.

561
00:49:41,611 --> 00:49:43,943
Whenever the devil makes up his mind.

562
00:49:45,015 --> 00:49:46,073
Why?

563
00:49:52,589 --> 00:49:53,647
Why?

564
00:49:55,759 --> 00:49:57,124
Because I...

565
00:50:07,504 --> 00:50:08,869
What's his name?

566
00:50:21,284 --> 00:50:22,512
Get out!

567
00:50:22,819 --> 00:50:24,309
Get out of the tent!

568
00:50:25,956 --> 00:50:27,287
General!

569
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:32,328
The ice is cracking!

570
00:50:34,765 --> 00:50:36,289
General!

571
00:50:37,034 --> 00:50:39,229
The ice is breaking up!

572
00:50:39,436 --> 00:50:40,698
Get out!

573
00:50:41,371 --> 00:50:42,736
What happened?

574
00:50:43,940 --> 00:50:45,305
What is it?

575
00:50:51,381 --> 00:50:53,246
The thaw is coming, General.

576
00:50:53,817 --> 00:50:56,342
The water temperature is close to freezing.

577
00:50:56,453 --> 00:50:59,479
With 24-hour sunlight,
the air temperature is rising...

578
00:50:59,556 --> 00:51:01,046
and the difference...

579
00:51:01,825 --> 00:51:03,850
it just tears the pack apart.

580
00:51:06,029 --> 00:51:07,519
It's June now.

581
00:51:07,731 --> 00:51:11,326
We're drifting on frozen, melting sea,
90 miles from the nearest land.

582
00:51:11,401 --> 00:51:12,527
Do you expect it to get worse?

583
00:51:12,602 --> 00:51:15,400
It's worse now. The ice could break
under our feet any minute.

584
00:51:15,472 --> 00:51:16,803
All right.

585
00:51:17,007 --> 00:51:19,305
We'll have to keep watch, day and night.

586
00:51:19,376 --> 00:51:22,436
If it cracks near us,
we have to move the camp...

587
00:51:22,512 --> 00:51:24,446
and if it cracks again,
we move the camp again.

588
00:51:24,514 --> 00:51:26,311
We have to be prepared
to move all the time.

589
00:51:26,383 --> 00:51:28,408
You're playing roulette with us.

590
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:31,046
General...

591
00:51:33,090 --> 00:51:35,024
General, we have the food now.

592
00:51:36,026 --> 00:51:38,927
While there is still time, we can walk out.

593
00:51:42,165 --> 00:51:45,100
We'll walk when Cecioni
sets the pace, Zappi.

594
00:51:45,469 --> 00:51:48,768
Look, a small party
of the strongest men moving fast...

595
00:51:49,306 --> 00:51:51,240
can get back and bring help.

596
00:51:51,308 --> 00:51:54,141
Do you think you can walk
90 miles across the ice?

597
00:51:54,377 --> 00:51:57,437
Without ropes, without proper boots,
without equipment?

598
00:51:58,448 --> 00:52:01,110
No. We stay together...

599
00:52:02,085 --> 00:52:03,746
around the radio.

600
00:52:04,488 --> 00:52:06,080
That damn radio.

601
00:52:07,991 --> 00:52:10,084
Why the hell did I ever find it?

602
00:52:11,561 --> 00:52:15,088
<i>Today in Rome,</i>
<i>his Majesty King Victor Emmanuel...</i>

603
00:52:15,732 --> 00:52:18,792
<i>in the presence of</i>
<i>II Duce, Benito Mussolini...</i>

604
00:52:18,869 --> 00:52:21,736
<i>unveiled a monument to Vittorio Veneto.</i>

605
00:52:23,206 --> 00:52:26,198
<i>Acts of heroism fade</i>
<i>in the memory of dying...</i>

606
00:52:27,010 --> 00:52:29,740
<i>but foreign detractors, envious of us...</i>

607
00:52:30,180 --> 00:52:33,843
<i>can never minimize this,</i>
<i>one of our finest hours.</i>

608
00:52:41,791 --> 00:52:44,988
They've done it! Victory!

609
00:52:45,061 --> 00:52:48,895
Four to one. Italy beat Spain four to one.

610
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:52,225
Levratto scored two goals.

611
00:52:52,769 --> 00:52:56,205
- What are you doing to us, you bastard?
- Mariano. Stop it.

612
00:52:56,273 --> 00:52:58,571
Mariano. No fighting here.

613
00:52:59,309 --> 00:53:00,742
Captain Mariano.

614
00:53:13,757 --> 00:53:15,588
<i>The official Italian news agency refuses</i>
<i>to comment on the Nobile expedition...</i>

615
00:53:17,627 --> 00:53:19,891
<i>and the disappearance of the airship.</i>

616
00:53:20,096 --> 00:53:22,894
<i>Meanwhile a report</i>
<i>from the Tromso Geophysical Institute...</i>

617
00:53:22,966 --> 00:53:24,695
<i>suggests that prevailing winds...</i>

618
00:53:24,768 --> 00:53:27,601
<i>during the estimated flight time</i>
<i>of the dirigible</i> Italia...

619
00:53:27,671 --> 00:53:29,798
<i>indicated that the crash</i>
<i>might have taken place...</i>

620
00:53:29,873 --> 00:53:32,398
<i>in the vicinity of Franz Josef Land.</i>

621
00:53:33,243 --> 00:53:34,870
Franz Josef Land?

622
00:53:34,978 --> 00:53:37,708
<i>Weather conditions make it impossible</i>
<i>for airplanes to take off.</i>

623
00:53:37,781 --> 00:53:40,341
- That's 300 miles out.
- The current is taking us there.

624
00:53:40,417 --> 00:53:42,578
Can't you make...
Can't you make them hear us?

625
00:53:42,652 --> 00:53:45,246
Mother of God, is it my fault
that the battery is feeble?

626
00:53:45,322 --> 00:53:48,985
Maybe they're sitting in a radio shadow.
Then they'd never hear us.

627
00:53:50,193 --> 00:53:51,558
General...

628
00:53:53,430 --> 00:53:54,761
we're leaving.

629
00:53:57,534 --> 00:53:59,058
Who is leaving?

630
00:54:00,170 --> 00:54:01,797
We've made plans.

631
00:54:07,043 --> 00:54:08,772
Who has made plans?

632
00:54:11,481 --> 00:54:13,381
We have to leave today.

633
00:54:14,084 --> 00:54:15,551
It's the only way.

634
00:54:24,060 --> 00:54:26,153
Who else is leaving?

635
00:54:26,930 --> 00:54:27,988
I am.

636
00:54:35,972 --> 00:54:37,337
Is it true?

637
00:54:40,844 --> 00:54:44,302
They won't get across without my help.

638
00:54:54,658 --> 00:54:55,989
You, Mariano?

639
00:54:57,127 --> 00:54:58,185
Yes.

640
00:55:01,231 --> 00:55:02,960
You are all insane.

641
00:55:04,167 --> 00:55:07,967
You know nothing about the Arctic.
You'll never get anywhere.

642
00:55:08,138 --> 00:55:10,038
There's a grave in the ice for all of you.

643
00:55:10,106 --> 00:55:12,734
What you're really doing
is committing suicide.

644
00:55:12,809 --> 00:55:16,438
What about Cecioni, your comrade?
Are you just going to abandon him here?

645
00:55:16,513 --> 00:55:19,846
Now, think, before you go out there
and destroy yourselves.

646
00:55:19,916 --> 00:55:21,076
Think.

647
00:56:03,059 --> 00:56:05,584
THIS WAY.

648
00:56:23,346 --> 00:56:26,042
RUN THE AERIAL TOWARDS
THE STORE-HOUSE.

649
00:56:53,576 --> 00:56:55,510
KEEP QUIET!

650
00:57:11,961 --> 00:57:13,952
S.O. S... S.O.S.

651
00:57:19,502 --> 00:57:21,595
I'VE HEARD THEM.

652
00:57:22,305 --> 00:57:25,297
RING THE BELLS!

653
00:57:26,009 --> 00:57:28,910
I HAVE THEIR POSITION. RING THE BELLS!

654
00:58:27,670 --> 00:58:30,230
MESSAGE TO MOSCOW.

655
00:58:32,342 --> 00:58:37,177
URGENT. HAVE PICKED UP RADIO SIGNAL
FROM NOBILE.

656
00:58:38,014 --> 00:58:41,882
HIS APPROXIMATE POSITION...

657
00:58:44,621 --> 00:58:47,215
<i>General Nobile</i>
<i>and his small band of explorers...</i>

658
00:58:47,290 --> 00:58:50,054
<i>who vanished four weeks ago</i>
<i>may still be alive.</i>

659
00:58:50,126 --> 00:58:52,526
<i>A Russian radio amateur</i>
<i>has picked up an S.O. S...</i>

660
00:58:52,595 --> 00:58:55,063
<i>from members of the crew</i>
<i>of the ill-fated</i> Italia.

661
00:58:55,532 --> 00:58:58,990
<i>General Nobile's return from the dead</i>
<i>has stirred the world.</i>

662
00:58:59,068 --> 00:59:02,037
<i>In Moscow, it's been announced</i>
<i>that the heavy icebreaker</i> Krassin...

663
00:59:02,105 --> 00:59:04,403
<i>under the command</i>
<i>of the Arctic explorer Samoilovich...</i>

664
00:59:04,474 --> 00:59:06,135
<i>is ready for immediate sailing.</i>

665
00:59:06,209 --> 00:59:08,643
<i>But this new hope</i>
<i>must be sobered by the fact...</i>

666
00:59:08,711 --> 00:59:11,407
<i>that even a few days</i>
<i>more exposure on the ice...</i>

667
00:59:11,481 --> 00:59:14,109
<i>may result in the death</i>
<i>of General Nobile and his men.</i>

668
00:59:29,799 --> 00:59:31,528
There's some money.

669
00:59:32,268 --> 00:59:34,793
Would you please give it to my wife?

670
00:59:35,204 --> 00:59:37,104
But tell her not to spend it.

671
00:59:38,575 --> 00:59:40,543
Always the joker, Biagi.

672
01:00:10,473 --> 01:00:12,065
We'll move fast.

673
01:00:12,442 --> 01:00:15,434
Our only thought will be
to bring help to you.

674
01:00:24,454 --> 01:00:26,251
We'll meet you in Kingsbay.

675
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:38,931
Please...

676
01:00:44,107 --> 01:00:48,703
Give it to the nurse
at the hospital at Kingsbay.

677
01:00:50,113 --> 01:00:53,276
- Valeria.
- Why do you give it to me?

678
01:00:54,117 --> 01:00:56,244
You intend to be back before us...

679
01:00:57,153 --> 01:00:58,245
don't you?

680
01:01:01,090 --> 01:01:02,717
Good luck to you.

681
01:02:13,129 --> 01:02:15,825
I HAVE PERMISSION.
I MUST GET THROUGH.

682
01:02:18,601 --> 01:02:19,863
NOBODY CAN GET THROUGH.

683
01:02:19,936 --> 01:02:21,733
I AM TO GO ON BOARD THE "KRASSIN."

684
01:02:21,804 --> 01:02:23,965
IT WAS I WHO HEARD THE S.O.S.
FROM NOBILE.

685
01:02:52,335 --> 01:02:54,360
YOU PROMISED TO TAKE ME.

686
01:02:56,072 --> 01:02:58,097
YOU PROMISED TO TAKE ME WITH YOU.

687
01:03:41,350 --> 01:03:43,341
She's called the <i>Krassin.</i>

688
01:03:44,787 --> 01:03:46,914
Expects to be here in five days.

689
01:03:51,127 --> 01:03:52,651
She's...

690
01:03:53,963 --> 01:03:56,397
the biggest icebreaker in Europe.

691
01:03:57,834 --> 01:03:59,802
Biagi. You've done it.

692
01:04:00,069 --> 01:04:01,730
They've heard you.

693
01:04:02,104 --> 01:04:04,129
We're safe.

694
01:06:45,401 --> 01:06:48,165
THE PROPELLORS. SOMETHING'S WRONG
WITH THE PROPELLORS.

01:07:10,259 --> 01:07:12,557
I'VE ORDERED THE PLANE
TO BE MADE READY FOR TAKE-OFF.

697
01:07:12,928 --> 01:07:14,953
I WON'T ALLOW YOU TO FLY.

698
01:07:17,199 --> 01:07:18,496
WHY?

699
01:07:18,901 --> 01:07:24,703
THE PLANE IS THE LAST RESORT.
I CANNOT RISK IT TOO SOON.

700
01:08:19,528 --> 01:08:24,465
THE LEFT PROPELLOR IS BADLY TWISTED...
THE RUDDER IS ALSO DAMAGED.

701
01:08:29,472 --> 01:08:31,064
<i>The</i> Krassin's <i>damaged.</i>

702
01:08:31,373 --> 01:08:35,036
She's making emergency repairs,
and then she's going back.

703
01:08:35,377 --> 01:08:36,844
- No.
- Be quiet.

704
01:08:37,847 --> 01:08:40,975
Biagi, you must try again to transmit.

705
01:08:45,020 --> 01:08:48,979
I can't do anything, General.
The battery is dead...

706
01:08:51,327 --> 01:08:52,555
like us.

707
01:08:55,598 --> 01:08:57,532
Did you feel that, Sergeant Biagi?

708
01:08:58,267 --> 01:08:59,529
Yes, sir.

709
01:09:00,703 --> 01:09:01,897
Then you're not dead.

710
01:09:23,259 --> 01:09:27,093
I thought you would like
to see this young lady, Dr. Amundsen.

711
01:09:32,101 --> 01:09:34,399
- Why?
- She has come from Kingsbay.

712
01:09:35,404 --> 01:09:37,338
I'm a friend of Finn Malmgren.

713
01:09:39,208 --> 01:09:41,039
Excuse me while I change.

714
01:09:46,315 --> 01:09:49,807
So, you're friendly with
young Finn Malmgren?

715
01:09:50,019 --> 01:09:51,111
Yes.

716
01:09:52,721 --> 01:09:54,211
More than friendly.

717
01:09:57,726 --> 01:09:58,818
I'm glad.

718
01:09:59,195 --> 01:10:01,755
I always thought Finn would die a bachelor.

719
01:10:03,499 --> 01:10:06,024
But you must face the probability...

720
01:10:06,635 --> 01:10:08,193
that he's dead now.

721
01:10:08,304 --> 01:10:10,397
No. He isn't dead.

722
01:10:11,340 --> 01:10:13,171
If he were, I would know it.

723
01:10:14,210 --> 01:10:15,507
Nonsense.

724
01:10:16,345 --> 01:10:18,370
Will you come and look for them?

725
01:10:23,852 --> 01:10:26,548
You can't suppose
that I haven't thought of it.

726
01:10:26,989 --> 01:10:29,514
- Then?
- No.

727
01:10:32,061 --> 01:10:33,892
Finn said you were ruthless.

728
01:10:36,765 --> 01:10:38,892
You're needed, Dr. Amundsen.

729
01:10:42,871 --> 01:10:46,466
That is a weapon
you might use against Finn, not me.

730
01:10:47,276 --> 01:10:49,972
- I think you're very alike.
- You're wrong.

731
01:10:56,752 --> 01:11:00,381
My dear, airplanes are the only hope now.
And I know nothing about airplanes.

732
01:11:00,456 --> 01:11:02,481
You know everything
about the Arctic, they say.

733
01:11:02,558 --> 01:11:06,085
They speak very foolishly.
I'm never going back there.

734
01:11:07,296 --> 01:11:10,993
I've come to think that human beings
have no business in the Arctic.

735
01:11:12,401 --> 01:11:14,596
This shocking disaster confirms me.

736
01:11:17,072 --> 01:11:18,630
It's a horrible place.

737
01:11:18,707 --> 01:11:21,005
Finn said it was pure and beautiful...

738
01:11:21,243 --> 01:11:22,972
and that only you were fit for it.

739
01:11:23,045 --> 01:11:25,036
You're very unscrupulous.

740
01:11:26,081 --> 01:11:28,379
- Finn Malmgren was my friend.
- Is.

741
01:11:28,784 --> 01:11:30,149
I don't think so.

742
01:11:30,586 --> 01:11:34,113
And General Nobile,
I actually introduced to the Arctic.

743
01:11:35,190 --> 01:11:37,590
And to that extent, that very limited extent...

744
01:11:37,660 --> 01:11:39,525
do I feel responsible.

745
01:11:40,029 --> 01:11:42,395
Finn said you were totally responsible.

746
01:11:55,711 --> 01:11:58,111
No, I have my work to do for the living.

747
01:11:58,213 --> 01:12:00,943
I will not risk my own life
looking for the dead.

748
01:12:01,016 --> 01:12:02,506
I'm not responsible.

749
01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:08,556
They've been three weeks on the ice now.
Have you any idea what that means?

750
01:12:08,624 --> 01:12:09,648
Yes.

751
01:12:09,892 --> 01:12:12,690
You have no idea,
otherwise you wouldn't be here.

752
01:12:13,395 --> 01:12:16,193
The icebreaker, the <i>Krassin,</i>
was their last hope.

753
01:12:16,999 --> 01:12:18,364
Their last.

754
01:12:19,401 --> 01:12:20,425
No.

755
01:12:21,337 --> 01:12:24,966
Finn also said that to want to be
like Amundsen was ambitious...

756
01:12:25,341 --> 01:12:26,831
but not silly.

757
01:12:32,614 --> 01:12:36,345
You are quite the most
unprincipled young woman I've ever met.

758
01:12:42,091 --> 01:12:44,719
- Tell me, how is Kingsbay now?
- Horrible.

759
01:12:45,527 --> 01:12:47,825
- It's full of tourists.
- Tourists?

760
01:12:48,397 --> 01:12:50,024
Souvenir hunters.

761
01:12:54,069 --> 01:12:55,536
People are strange.

762
01:13:11,320 --> 01:13:12,947
Then you'll come?

763
01:13:14,123 --> 01:13:15,488
Tell me.

764
01:13:16,191 --> 01:13:17,681
If I'm lost...

765
01:13:18,494 --> 01:13:20,325
will you feel responsible?

766
01:13:21,597 --> 01:13:22,621
No.

767
01:13:23,999 --> 01:13:25,091
Good.

768
01:13:42,117 --> 01:13:45,018
Take the goggles for a while.
You need them.

769
01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:48,881
Better two good pairs of eyes,
than three, only half good.

770
01:13:56,932 --> 01:13:58,661
Please, take them.

771
01:13:58,901 --> 01:14:00,232
Take them.

772
01:14:00,803 --> 01:14:03,135
No. We must walk on.

773
01:14:06,708 --> 01:14:09,233
- Malmgren!
- Mariano, quick.

774
01:14:11,013 --> 01:14:12,708
Help! Help me!

775
01:14:12,848 --> 01:14:15,282
Mariano, hurry. Quickly.

776
01:14:16,552 --> 01:14:19,749
Get his other hand, Mariano.
That's it. Now, pull.

777
01:14:20,923 --> 01:14:22,413
Quickly, pull.

778
01:14:23,826 --> 01:14:25,157
That's it.

779
01:14:26,528 --> 01:14:27,722
Cut my boots.

780
01:14:30,732 --> 01:14:32,757
My bag. Hurry.

781
01:14:34,970 --> 01:14:36,130
Hurry!

782
01:14:43,178 --> 01:14:45,703
- Cover him. Cut his boots.
- Yes.

783
01:14:49,551 --> 01:14:51,485
You'll be all right, Malmgren.

784
01:14:51,753 --> 01:14:54,119
You must massage his legs hard.

785
01:14:54,189 --> 01:14:55,417
Hurry.

786
01:15:01,129 --> 01:15:02,892
Look. There he is.

787
01:15:06,401 --> 01:15:07,561
Good luck.

788
01:15:07,636 --> 01:15:10,366
- Is there any hope?
- Very little.

789
01:15:10,439 --> 01:15:12,100
If there's no hope, why are you leaving?

790
01:15:12,174 --> 01:15:15,075
I didn't say there was no hope.
I said very little.

791
01:15:15,143 --> 01:15:16,667
You are flying to Kingsbay now...

792
01:15:16,745 --> 01:15:19,578
but when do you intend
to take off on your search?

793
01:15:19,648 --> 01:15:23,209
As soon as <i>Monsieur</i> Guilbaud
tells me the weather is fit.

794
01:15:23,619 --> 01:15:27,077
But surely it's not just a question
of weather, but of courage.

795
01:15:27,656 --> 01:15:31,490
Too much or not enough courage
in the Arctic is equally fatal.

796
01:15:31,660 --> 01:15:34,891
Perhaps that's the fascination.
It demands a balance.

797
01:16:19,341 --> 01:16:20,638
I'm blind.

798
01:16:21,143 --> 01:16:23,873
My eyes. I can't see.

799
01:16:24,780 --> 01:16:26,008
My eyes.

800
01:16:32,621 --> 01:16:34,748
You'll be all right in a few days.

801
01:16:36,024 --> 01:16:38,549
You're snow-blind. It'll pass.

802
01:16:40,062 --> 01:16:41,586
Use my glasses.

803
01:16:44,333 --> 01:16:46,062
Lift your head, Behounek.

804
01:16:58,981 --> 01:17:02,212
What is it? Is it a plane?

805
01:17:06,121 --> 01:17:07,588
It's a plane.

806
01:17:11,059 --> 01:17:14,586
- They found us!
- Took them three bloody weeks!

807
01:17:15,230 --> 01:17:17,755
- We're over here!
- They found us!

808
01:17:19,668 --> 01:17:20,999
Over here!

809
01:17:22,270 --> 01:17:24,170
He's turning!

810
01:17:25,407 --> 01:17:28,376
It's got to see us. It's got to.

811
01:17:30,379 --> 01:17:33,871
Come back.
God, he's missed us. He's going.

812
01:17:33,982 --> 01:17:35,313
Come back!

813
01:17:35,817 --> 01:17:37,910
- Come back.
- I can't hear.

814
01:19:19,287 --> 01:19:20,447
Skoal.

815
01:19:21,923 --> 01:19:23,356
You're Swedish?

816
01:19:30,398 --> 01:19:31,490
What?

817
01:19:32,134 --> 01:19:34,602
- How can they?
- Why shouldn't they?

818
01:19:35,270 --> 01:19:36,328
Still...

819
01:19:36,972 --> 01:19:39,065
After what we heard last night...

820
01:19:40,742 --> 01:19:44,405
You can still ask me
to fly off after him to find your boyfriend...

821
01:19:44,479 --> 01:19:46,447
after what we heard last night?

822
01:19:48,784 --> 01:19:49,842
Yes.

823
01:19:53,655 --> 01:19:55,623
What will you give me...

824
01:19:56,158 --> 01:19:57,386
if I do?

825
01:20:01,630 --> 01:20:03,257
What do you want?

826
01:20:16,778 --> 01:20:18,973
All right. You've got a deal.

827
01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:28,546
- You don't much fancy me, do you?
- No.

828
01:20:29,991 --> 01:20:33,051
But if I find young Malmgren,
we've got a deal?

829
01:20:40,035 --> 01:20:42,367
This guy Malmgren, I have to see.

830
01:20:50,979 --> 01:20:52,139
Malmgren.

831
01:20:54,983 --> 01:20:56,109
Go on.

832
01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:00,114
Go on.

833
01:21:01,823 --> 01:21:03,848
Wait. Let him rest a bit.

834
01:21:12,367 --> 01:21:14,096
I want to lie here.

835
01:21:28,683 --> 01:21:30,480
We're not saving him.

836
01:21:32,187 --> 01:21:33,779
He's killing us.

837
01:21:36,791 --> 01:21:38,383
When the time comes...

838
01:21:39,194 --> 01:21:40,923
shall I let you lie there?

839
01:21:58,013 --> 01:21:59,344
Take them.

840
01:22:02,617 --> 01:22:05,108
They are more useful to you.

841
01:22:05,654 --> 01:22:08,214
Take them, if you are to live.

842
01:22:09,357 --> 01:22:10,847
Add them to the pack.

843
01:22:13,428 --> 01:22:14,520
Mariano.

844
01:22:18,099 --> 01:22:21,330
It's all right, Mariano. Take them.

845
01:22:31,012 --> 01:22:33,606
Zappi, help me dig my grave.

846
01:22:37,218 --> 01:22:38,810
Otherwise the bears...

847
01:22:40,155 --> 01:22:41,554
will eat my flesh.

848
01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:52,960
Here.

849
01:23:37,012 --> 01:23:38,206
Go now.

850
01:23:42,450 --> 01:23:43,917
We will wait.

851
01:23:44,619 --> 01:23:45,984
We'll wait.

852
01:24:02,737 --> 01:24:05,535
Let's say a prayer. Are you Catholic?

853
01:24:07,008 --> 01:24:08,908
I'm not even a Christian.

854
01:24:12,981 --> 01:24:15,609
- I'll baptize you.
- No.

855
01:24:16,484 --> 01:24:18,418
You must not die without God.

856
01:24:19,654 --> 01:24:22,714
For me, there's no religion,
there is humanity.

857
01:24:31,566 --> 01:24:32,931
I'll baptize you.

858
01:24:35,203 --> 01:24:37,603
- In the name of the Father...
- No.

859
01:24:37,672 --> 01:24:39,139
...and of the Son...
- No.

860
01:24:39,207 --> 01:24:40,936
...and of the Holy Ghost.

861
01:24:44,212 --> 01:24:45,304
Amen.

862
01:24:49,517 --> 01:24:50,609
Amen.

863
01:26:00,622 --> 01:26:01,816
Hurrah!

864
01:27:12,093 --> 01:27:14,857
Gentlemen, I admire
your courage and endurance.

865
01:27:15,697 --> 01:27:17,096
Cecioni, get ready. Come on.

866
01:27:17,165 --> 01:27:18,792
I've brought some food and drinks...

867
01:27:18,866 --> 01:27:21,357
for those who have to stay behind
a little bit longer.

868
01:27:21,436 --> 01:27:23,233
How many seats on the plane?

869
01:27:23,304 --> 01:27:24,498
One.

870
01:27:24,672 --> 01:27:26,697
- Are you Biagi?
- Yes.

871
01:27:27,508 --> 01:27:30,170
Congratulations. You're a father.

872
01:27:31,112 --> 01:27:32,511
- Biagi.
- Boy?

873
01:27:32,981 --> 01:27:34,573
- Girl.
- A daughter.

874
01:27:35,416 --> 01:27:38,112
- How's my wife?
- I think everything was normal.

875
01:27:38,419 --> 01:27:40,011
Congratulations.

876
01:27:41,589 --> 01:27:43,489
Which one of you is Malmgren?

877
01:27:46,094 --> 01:27:49,325
Malmgren is one of the three
that tried to go out on foot.

878
01:27:49,530 --> 01:27:50,622
What?

879
01:27:51,633 --> 01:27:52,998
Good luck to him.

880
01:27:53,568 --> 01:27:57,368
General, your engineer's idling my engine.
Can't risk shutting it off.

881
01:27:57,672 --> 01:28:00,732
We must hurry. Please get ready.
Now, boys...

882
01:28:02,243 --> 01:28:03,972
give us a great big smile.

883
01:28:04,979 --> 01:28:07,573
Come on. Smile.

884
01:28:09,917 --> 01:28:11,009
Thank you.

885
01:28:11,619 --> 01:28:14,179
- What are you doing with him?
- He goes first.

886
01:28:15,757 --> 01:28:18,385
There must be some mistake. You go first.

887
01:28:18,459 --> 01:28:20,552
There's nothing to worry about.

888
01:28:20,628 --> 01:28:22,528
The field is excellent, weather perfect.

889
01:28:22,597 --> 01:28:24,758
Six flights, and you'll all be in Kingsbay.

890
01:28:24,832 --> 01:28:27,027
Cecioni is injured. You'll take him.

891
01:28:27,535 --> 01:28:31,130
The man weighs about 100 kilos.
If he goes, I'd have to stay here.

892
01:28:31,572 --> 01:28:32,937
All right.

893
01:28:33,274 --> 01:28:35,139
Cecioni, sorry.

894
01:28:36,311 --> 01:28:38,040
You'll take Dr. Behounek.

895
01:28:38,713 --> 01:28:40,977
- He's snow-blind.
- General?

896
01:28:45,253 --> 01:28:48,051
Kingsbay is in shambles.
There's no one in charge.

897
01:28:48,122 --> 01:28:50,784
If you want those three wandering boys
of yours found...

898
01:28:50,858 --> 01:28:53,019
you better fly back with me and take over.

899
01:28:53,094 --> 01:28:54,959
No, you'll take Dr. Behounek.

900
01:28:56,931 --> 01:28:58,728
I take you or no one.

901
01:28:59,834 --> 01:29:00,960
I see.

902
01:29:01,602 --> 01:29:02,899
What's your interest in this?

903
01:29:02,970 --> 01:29:05,939
Those poor bastards you sent out
on the ice are my interest.

904
01:29:06,007 --> 01:29:08,601
- I sent no one out on the ice!
- No? Who did?

905
01:29:08,676 --> 01:29:11,975
- They went of their own initiative.
- I thought you were in charge here.

906
01:29:12,046 --> 01:29:14,776
- General, the <i>Krassin</i> is stuck out there...
- I know that.

907
01:29:14,849 --> 01:29:18,649
That's right. Samoilovich is an old buddy
of yours, isn't he?

908
01:29:19,620 --> 01:29:22,453
- Yes, I know him.
- So you can talk to him from Kingsbay.

909
01:29:22,523 --> 01:29:26,084
- You make them move their asses!
- I think you should go, General.

910
01:29:27,562 --> 01:29:28,586
No.

911
01:29:32,533 --> 01:29:36,094
I'll take off in five minutes,
with or without you.

912
01:29:37,438 --> 01:29:39,804
I'm not going to share Amundsen's fate.

913
01:29:40,375 --> 01:29:41,467
Wait.

914
01:29:44,112 --> 01:29:45,238
Amundsen?

915
01:29:45,780 --> 01:29:48,146
Amundsen has been lost looking for you.

916
01:29:49,016 --> 01:29:51,007
I didn't know that he was here.

917
01:30:00,528 --> 01:30:02,519
We took off in clear weather...

918
01:30:03,030 --> 01:30:05,123
but we flew into an Arctic storm.

919
01:30:05,633 --> 01:30:06,964
It took us north.

920
01:30:08,035 --> 01:30:10,663
<i>It took us beyond radio contact</i>
<i>with Kingsbay.</i>

921
01:30:13,174 --> 01:30:15,699
<i>It took us to the wreckage of your airship.</i>

922
01:30:18,212 --> 01:30:19,702
<i>Strange, was it not?</i>

923
01:30:20,948 --> 01:30:23,041
<i>Hard to write off as mere chance.</i>

924
01:30:24,318 --> 01:30:26,343
<i>Still, presumably it was chance.</i>

925
01:30:28,523 --> 01:30:32,289
<i>When we saw the wreckage,</i>
<i>it was difficult to know what we should do.</i>

926
01:30:33,861 --> 01:30:35,556
<i>To land was dangerous...</i>

927
01:30:36,264 --> 01:30:39,859
<i>but it was just as dangerous,</i>
<i>almost as dangerous...</i>

928
01:30:39,934 --> 01:30:42,494
<i>to stay in the air in the grip of that wind.</i>

929
01:30:43,671 --> 01:30:45,366
<i>And we could see people.</i>

930
01:30:46,240 --> 01:30:48,265
<i>So I ordered my pilot to land...</i>

931
01:30:50,244 --> 01:30:51,541
<i>and we crashed.</i>

932
01:30:52,513 --> 01:30:54,003
<i>My pilot was killed.</i>

933
01:30:54,982 --> 01:30:57,542
<i>Guilbaud was his name. A Frenchman.</i>

934
01:30:57,618 --> 01:31:00,519
<i>Very brave and amusing.</i>

935
01:31:03,324 --> 01:31:06,816
<i>The people we had seen</i>
<i>had looked quite lifelike from the air.</i>

936
01:31:07,862 --> 01:31:11,263
<i>At least it had seemed possible</i>
<i>that there was life in them...</i>

937
01:31:11,399 --> 01:31:13,799
<i>and impossible not to land and find out.</i>

938
01:31:17,605 --> 01:31:20,733
<i>Now, it was very clear</i>
<i>that life had left them long ago.</i>

939
01:31:23,010 --> 01:31:26,104
<i>I could find no food,</i>
<i>nor means of making fire.</i>

940
01:31:28,316 --> 01:31:30,341
<i>So it was just a matter of time.</i>

941
01:31:34,055 --> 01:31:37,115
<i>Luckily, I did find something</i>
<i>to help me pass the time.</i>

942
01:31:53,107 --> 01:31:56,042
The book was a bit theatrical, wasn't it?

943
01:31:57,144 --> 01:31:59,169
And for whom would
I have been performing?

944
01:31:59,247 --> 01:32:00,441
For yourself.

945
01:32:01,716 --> 01:32:04,276
But that's not theatrical. That's necessary.

946
01:32:06,320 --> 01:32:08,481
The trick is to choose a good part.

947
01:32:19,133 --> 01:32:21,829
<i>Bravo!</i>

948
01:32:22,803 --> 01:32:25,271
- Did you see them?
- Did you see them, Lundborg?

949
01:32:25,339 --> 01:32:26,704
How many people?

950
01:32:26,807 --> 01:32:29,708
Are they alive? Are they all alive?

951
01:32:32,280 --> 01:32:33,508
Hooray!

952
01:32:42,223 --> 01:32:44,020
How many did you see?

953
01:32:53,768 --> 01:32:55,099
General Nobile.

954
01:32:55,903 --> 01:32:57,234
It's the General.

955
01:33:00,641 --> 01:33:01,972
Nobile.

956
01:33:55,563 --> 01:33:58,054
RADIOGRAM - NOBILE IS IN KINGSBAY

957
01:33:58,366 --> 01:33:59,628
Kingsbay?

958
01:34:00,901 --> 01:34:02,835
THANK GOD. ONE OF THEM IS SAFE.

959
01:34:09,777 --> 01:34:11,005
Captain Romagna?

960
01:34:15,383 --> 01:34:16,975
Why wasn't I awakened?

961
01:34:23,691 --> 01:34:25,886
- You left an order, sir.
- Well, I...

962
01:34:26,293 --> 01:34:27,385
Never mind.

963
01:34:27,862 --> 01:34:29,955
- The weather has changed.
- It has.

964
01:34:30,131 --> 01:34:33,294
- Is flying possible?
- No, sir. Not in this weather.

965
01:34:34,835 --> 01:34:37,030
Even Lundborg wouldn't dare risk it.

966
01:34:37,171 --> 01:34:38,297
Operator.

967
01:34:39,373 --> 01:34:41,568
- Sir?
- I want a met report immediately.

968
01:34:41,642 --> 01:34:44,110
How soon can you make contact
with the <i>Krassin?</i>

969
01:34:44,178 --> 01:34:45,805
- Now, sir.
- Well, do it!

970
01:34:47,048 --> 01:34:48,276
Captain...

971
01:34:48,349 --> 01:34:50,840
I want five land parties
organized immediately.

972
01:34:50,918 --> 01:34:53,409
One can take the tractors, four with dogs.

973
01:34:54,188 --> 01:34:56,679
- I also want to see your logbook.
- General?

974
01:35:00,861 --> 01:35:03,386
- These are your orders.
- Orders? What orders?

975
01:35:03,464 --> 01:35:04,556
From Rome.

976
01:35:05,232 --> 01:35:07,860
"In view of your extraordinary conduct...

977
01:35:08,335 --> 01:35:10,530
"in abandoning the men in..."

978
01:35:14,842 --> 01:35:18,539
It would be best, for the time being,
for me to continue in command.

979
01:35:24,618 --> 01:35:26,745
What do they think that I've done?

980
01:35:27,388 --> 01:35:29,185
They think you have done...

981
01:35:29,790 --> 01:35:31,724
what you have done, I suppose.

982
01:35:38,265 --> 01:35:39,323
Sir.

983
01:35:40,134 --> 01:35:41,863
Sir. The <i>Krassin.</i>

984
01:35:53,114 --> 01:35:54,638
No. Message.

985
01:35:56,083 --> 01:35:58,017
Nobile. Samoilovich. Personal.

986
01:36:01,388 --> 01:36:04,653
Message begins, urgently request...

987
01:36:05,793 --> 01:36:07,988
No. Cancel. Cancel that.

988
01:36:09,864 --> 01:36:11,764
My dear Samoilovich.

989
01:36:13,167 --> 01:36:14,998
In the name of friendship...

990
01:36:16,137 --> 01:36:17,866
and those who are dead...

991
01:36:18,973 --> 01:36:21,498
<i>I implore you to save the lives of my men.</i>

992
01:36:22,443 --> 01:36:25,503
<i>Samoilovich, if your ship</i>
<i>is capable of movement...</i>

993
01:36:26,347 --> 01:36:28,747
<i>I beg you, at any reasonable risk...</i>

994
01:36:29,116 --> 01:36:30,947
<i>proceed there and save them.</i>

995
01:36:31,485 --> 01:36:33,009
<i>Umberto Nobile.</i>

996
01:36:42,463 --> 01:36:46,126
- Difficult decision?
- Yes. But no, not really.

997
01:36:46,901 --> 01:36:48,994
General, the facts were these.

998
01:36:49,637 --> 01:36:51,468
I did not know where they were.

999
01:36:51,539 --> 01:36:53,268
But I told you where they were!

1000
01:36:53,340 --> 01:36:57,071
By then, the ice was on the move,
as much as 20 miles a day.

1001
01:36:57,645 --> 01:37:00,079
I only knew where you had left them.

1002
01:37:00,581 --> 01:37:03,015
Secondly, the ice was melting.

1003
01:37:03,250 --> 01:37:05,047
Thaw followed by freeze-up.

1004
01:37:06,120 --> 01:37:08,611
At such a time,
a ship which can't keep moving...

1005
01:37:08,689 --> 01:37:11,886
can be caught and crushed
like a cardboard carton.

1006
01:37:12,393 --> 01:37:16,022
Thirdly, my ship could only move
at half speed.

1007
01:37:16,263 --> 01:37:19,357
My decision was to put back
to the nearest port.

1008
01:37:20,201 --> 01:37:23,261
Unfortunately, before leaving Leningrad...

1009
01:37:23,470 --> 01:37:26,769
I had taken on board an airplane...

1010
01:37:26,907 --> 01:37:28,067
and...

1011
01:37:29,009 --> 01:37:30,135
a hero.

1012
01:37:32,446 --> 01:37:36,075
<i>He wanted to try and take off</i>
<i>and see if he could find them.</i>

1013
01:37:36,784 --> 01:37:39,776
<i>I agreed that if he should see them...</i>

1014
01:37:39,854 --> 01:37:42,550
<i>within two days' sailing distance</i>
<i>of the</i> Krassin...

1015
01:37:42,623 --> 01:37:44,420
<i>we would try to reach them.</i>

1016
01:37:44,558 --> 01:37:46,992
<i>It was their own lives they were risking...</i>

1017
01:37:47,061 --> 01:37:49,427
<i>and that is always seductive.</i>

1018
01:39:27,161 --> 01:39:28,992
They've seen us.

1019
01:39:29,630 --> 01:39:31,598
- They've seen...
- Zappi.

1020
01:39:40,541 --> 01:39:42,168
Zappi, don't leave me.

1021
01:39:43,177 --> 01:39:44,337
Zappi.

1022
01:39:45,980 --> 01:39:48,278
TRANSMIT "KRASSIN": HAVE SIGHTED
THE GROUP OF THREE.

1023
01:39:48,349 --> 01:39:50,579
RETURNING TO SHIP BECAUSE OF FOG.

1024
01:39:54,388 --> 01:39:56,754
KRASSIN HERE. HAVE RECEIVED YOU.
REPEAT CO-ORDINATES.

1025
01:39:56,824 --> 01:39:59,759
THEY HAVE FOUND THE GROUP OF THREE.

1026
01:40:00,928 --> 01:40:02,418
Hooray!

1027
01:40:02,997 --> 01:40:04,897
The plane, Romagna. Can it land?

1028
01:40:04,965 --> 01:40:08,366
No. The pilot is attempting
to return to the <i>Krassin.</i>

1029
01:40:08,902 --> 01:40:11,496
- Attempting? Why attempt?
- There is fog.

1030
01:40:13,073 --> 01:40:14,563
He can't land.

1031
01:40:20,914 --> 01:40:23,712
You can come to the wireless room
if you like, General.

1032
01:40:23,784 --> 01:40:26,014
No, thank you. I'll stay here.

1033
01:40:26,620 --> 01:40:28,019
As you wish.

1034
01:40:31,592 --> 01:40:32,923
Oh, God.

1035
01:40:34,661 --> 01:40:38,097
LIGHT YOUR FIRES! HURRY UP.
LIGHT YOUR FIRES.

1036
01:40:56,116 --> 01:40:57,947
TIME IS GETTING SHORT.

1037
01:41:11,899 --> 01:41:14,367
TRANSMIT TO "KRASSIN":
THERE IS TOO MUCH FOG.

1038
01:41:14,435 --> 01:41:16,494
WILL LOOK FOR OTHER LANDING AREA!

1039
01:41:18,272 --> 01:41:20,035
FLARES... MORE FLARES.

1040
01:41:20,741 --> 01:41:24,006
HURRY WITH THE FLARES... MORE FLARES.

1041
01:41:49,169 --> 01:41:51,034
STAND BY FOR CRASH LANDING!

1042
01:42:22,102 --> 01:42:25,731
FOUR HOURS ARE UP...
THEIR FUEL IS UP TOO!

1043
01:42:27,508 --> 01:42:28,873
LISTEN, CHUKNOWSKI...

1044
01:42:34,114 --> 01:42:36,912
LISTEN TO ME... STOP WALKING.

1045
01:42:38,852 --> 01:42:40,786
LEAVE ME ALONE.

1046
01:42:42,923 --> 01:42:44,618
SAMOILOVICH IS CALLING AGAIN.
SO WHAT?

1047
01:42:44,691 --> 01:42:46,659
HE WANTS TO SPEAK TO YOU.

1048
01:42:46,727 --> 01:42:49,491
I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY TO HIM.
WE ARE ALL RIGHT.

1049
01:42:49,563 --> 01:42:51,087
WHAT DO I TRANSMIT?

1050
01:42:51,165 --> 01:42:53,190
HE SHOULD CONTINUE
TOWARDS THE ITALIANS.

1051
01:42:53,267 --> 01:42:56,395
HE WANTS TO PICK US UP FIRST.
HE DEMANDS OUR POSITION.

1052
01:42:59,640 --> 01:43:00,664
HE'S LIKE AN OLD WOMAN...

1053
01:43:00,741 --> 01:43:03,733
TRANSMIT: THE SITUATION OF THE GROUP
OF THREE IS DESPERATE.

1054
01:43:04,077 --> 01:43:07,672
YOU WILL GET OUR POSITION
ONLY AFTER YOU RESCUE THE OTHERS.

1055
01:43:07,748 --> 01:43:10,273
REGARDS, CHUKNOWSKI.

1056
01:43:11,084 --> 01:43:13,746
BUT YOU HAVE SENT HIM
YOUR REGARDS ALREADY!

1057
01:43:14,555 --> 01:43:16,284
WELL, THEN... KISSES!

1058
01:44:20,988 --> 01:44:23,013
- Get the food out!
- And Some blankets!

1059
01:44:23,090 --> 01:44:24,921
The blankets! Pull them out.

1060
01:44:37,838 --> 01:44:38,896
I'll take that.

1061
01:44:38,972 --> 01:44:42,203
Get the food out! All the food you can get!

1062
01:44:42,276 --> 01:44:43,937
Troiani, help Behounek.

1063
01:44:59,660 --> 01:45:01,685
We're going down.

1064
01:45:01,762 --> 01:45:02,888
Just let me try it.

1065
01:45:02,963 --> 01:45:04,794
Here, Biagi, the radio.

1066
01:45:05,132 --> 01:45:06,827
Come on, there's no time!

1067
01:45:06,900 --> 01:45:09,733
You fool, come on!

1068
01:45:11,938 --> 01:45:13,838
Throw everything clear.

1069
01:47:27,574 --> 01:47:29,166
You are Valeria.

1070
01:47:34,214 --> 01:47:35,738
He asked me...

1071
01:47:37,684 --> 01:47:40,209
I had hoped to give you this sooner.

1072
01:47:53,400 --> 01:47:54,731
He's dead.

1073
01:47:56,403 --> 01:47:58,633
He asked me to give it to you.

1074
01:47:59,539 --> 01:48:00,870
I'm sorry.

1075
01:48:01,708 --> 01:48:05,235
Finn would have said
a general has no right to be sorry.

1076
01:48:05,645 --> 01:48:09,137
Malmgren, if he were able to talk,
would exonerate me to you.

1077
01:48:09,382 --> 01:48:12,613
You cracked like the ice, General Nobile.

1078
01:48:16,156 --> 01:48:18,147
You have no reason to say that.

1079
01:48:19,726 --> 01:48:21,455
You know nothing about it.

1080
01:48:22,562 --> 01:48:26,430
The ground rising up to meet us,
the screaming of the ship...

1081
01:48:26,500 --> 01:48:28,593
the unconsciousness of the crash.

1082
01:48:29,302 --> 01:48:31,361
A general in this situation...

1083
01:48:31,438 --> 01:48:33,998
were he Napoleon, would sit and wait.

1084
01:48:34,074 --> 01:48:37,168
But this is not true!
You allowed them to leave.

1085
01:48:37,344 --> 01:48:39,403
I understand you're deeply hurt.

1086
01:48:39,546 --> 01:48:43,175
You brought them all in
and could only bring yourself out.

1087
01:48:45,452 --> 01:48:48,944
Yes, I am hurt, General.

1088
01:48:57,964 --> 01:49:00,694
You and I will never meet again, I hope!

1089
01:49:02,068 --> 01:49:04,195
And I hope you never forget.

1090
01:49:35,902 --> 01:49:37,301
It's a ship.

1091
01:49:40,106 --> 01:49:41,334
Troiani.

1092
01:49:41,975 --> 01:49:43,374
It's a ship.

1093
01:49:43,977 --> 01:49:46,343
They've come.

1094
01:49:52,519 --> 01:49:55,249
- A ship.
- We're saved.

1095
01:50:20,447 --> 01:50:22,779
I'll be going to see my daughter.

1096
01:50:38,632 --> 01:50:40,497
<i>Already safely on board the</i> Krassin...

1097
01:50:40,567 --> 01:50:43,468
<i>were Zappi, Mariano,</i>
<i>and the Russian airmen.</i>

1098
01:50:44,037 --> 01:50:45,766
<i>They were all safe.</i>

1099
01:50:47,641 --> 01:50:50,769
<i>And you'd been safe for two weeks, General.</i>

1100
01:50:52,012 --> 01:50:54,071
Now, the charges are...

1101
01:50:55,115 --> 01:50:57,049
failure to exercise command...

1102
01:50:57,951 --> 01:51:00,249
desertion, and cowardice.

1103
01:51:01,488 --> 01:51:02,955
What's the verdict?

1104
01:51:07,694 --> 01:51:09,093
Samoilovich?

1105
01:51:09,763 --> 01:51:12,561
We judge a man by his actions...

1106
01:51:13,166 --> 01:51:15,191
and action by its results.

1107
01:51:15,902 --> 01:51:18,598
He left his men and went to Kingsbay...

1108
01:51:18,938 --> 01:51:20,701
where he radioed to me.

1109
01:51:21,341 --> 01:51:23,809
The result of his radio call to me...

1110
01:51:23,877 --> 01:51:26,175
was the rescue of the survivors.

1111
01:51:27,213 --> 01:51:29,841
The action, therefore, was correct.

1112
01:51:30,650 --> 01:51:33,517
Now, how would you describe
Chuknowski's action?

1113
01:51:33,586 --> 01:51:34,780
Heroic.

1114
01:51:36,322 --> 01:51:39,223
A second-in-command
is allowed to be heroic.

1115
01:51:39,726 --> 01:51:42,661
The rank and file are required to be heroic.

1116
01:51:43,296 --> 01:51:47,596
But their leader
has no right to risk the lives of his men...

1117
01:51:47,801 --> 01:51:49,928
by personal acts of heroism.

1118
01:51:50,070 --> 01:51:52,197
A leader must be correct.

1119
01:51:52,472 --> 01:51:54,702
Then the ideal leader would be a computer.

1120
01:51:54,774 --> 01:51:56,969
Samoilovich, your verdict.

1121
01:51:57,110 --> 01:52:01,206
In our opinion,
we have no right to judge General Nobile.

1122
01:52:01,448 --> 01:52:02,915
Just too bad.

1123
01:52:03,249 --> 01:52:05,809
They don't want to take any part in the jury.

1124
01:52:05,885 --> 01:52:07,944
But the others have to judge.

1125
01:52:10,623 --> 01:52:11,817
Guilty.

1126
01:52:13,326 --> 01:52:14,486
Guilty.

1127
01:52:15,328 --> 01:52:16,727
- Guilty.
- Guilty.

1128
01:52:17,397 --> 01:52:18,955
The jury is unanimous.

1129
01:52:19,999 --> 01:52:21,796
But I discount the verdict.

1130
01:52:21,901 --> 01:52:24,734
What? Why do you discount the verdict?

1131
01:52:25,638 --> 01:52:28,038
Take yourself, for instance, Captain Zappi.

1132
01:52:28,108 --> 01:52:30,576
You are clearly an officer
of great initiative...

1133
01:52:30,643 --> 01:52:33,441
and perhaps you should have led
an expedition of your own.

1134
01:52:33,513 --> 01:52:34,537
Thank you.

1135
01:52:34,614 --> 01:52:36,514
But as a second-in-command...

1136
01:52:36,816 --> 01:52:40,946
I personally wouldn't take you
on an expedition across a municipal park.

1137
01:52:42,021 --> 01:52:45,457
'Tis a thousand pities
that the merely reliable Captain Romagna...

1138
01:52:45,525 --> 01:52:47,117
was not in your place.

1139
01:52:47,360 --> 01:52:48,452
Thank you.

1140
01:52:48,795 --> 01:52:51,889
And a million pities
that Captain Zappi was not in yours.

1141
01:52:54,467 --> 01:52:55,934
Lieutenant Lundborg...

1142
01:52:56,336 --> 01:53:00,238
why did you so urgently persuade
the General to save his own life first?

1143
01:53:02,675 --> 01:53:04,142
Daren't you answer?

1144
01:53:06,079 --> 01:53:07,478
You disappoint me.

1145
01:53:08,581 --> 01:53:09,639
Yes.

1146
01:53:10,216 --> 01:53:13,276
Yes, I've heard it said
that I was paid a lot of money.

1147
01:53:13,386 --> 01:53:14,614
Yes? By whom?

1148
01:53:14,754 --> 01:53:18,190
By an insurance company
who would have had to pay a lot more...

1149
01:53:18,258 --> 01:53:20,453
if the General had lost his life.

1150
01:53:21,161 --> 01:53:22,856
You did it for money, then.

1151
01:53:22,929 --> 01:53:25,523
If I did, I wouldn't be ashamed of it.

1152
01:53:26,399 --> 01:53:30,233
Men are risking their necks
for fame, a medal...

1153
01:53:30,703 --> 01:53:32,933
promotion, or money.
What's wrong with money?

1154
01:53:33,006 --> 01:53:34,439
Just a means to happiness.

1155
01:53:34,507 --> 01:53:37,067
But you don't look like
a happy man, exactly.

1156
01:53:37,844 --> 01:53:41,041
More like a man who's learned to be
indifferent to unhappiness.

1157
01:53:41,114 --> 01:53:44,015
I'm glad you know it all, Mr. Amundsen.

1158
01:53:44,317 --> 01:53:47,980
But you see, a man who is indifferent
to his own unhappiness...

1159
01:53:48,054 --> 01:53:49,954
is indifferent to everything.

1160
01:53:51,391 --> 01:53:53,859
That is why she preferred Dr. Malmgren...

1161
01:53:53,927 --> 01:53:57,795
but Dr. Malmgren was in love with purity,
as I was once.

1162
01:53:59,599 --> 01:54:02,693
And purity is sterile.
Nothing can grow in it...

1163
01:54:04,003 --> 01:54:05,231
not even love.

1164
01:54:05,772 --> 01:54:09,230
She would have been a lot more happy
if you had been less pure.

1165
01:54:10,910 --> 01:54:12,138
Finn...

1166
01:54:12,445 --> 01:54:15,505
you should have given her
a fortnight's ordinary pleasure...

1167
01:54:15,582 --> 01:54:17,482
and left her with a pleasant memory.

1168
01:54:17,550 --> 01:54:20,451
But as it was, you left her
to a lifetime of regret.

1169
01:54:21,221 --> 01:54:22,586
And now she is...

1170
01:54:23,189 --> 01:54:25,555
as you all are, bitter...

1171
01:54:26,226 --> 01:54:27,693
and unfit to judge.

1172
01:54:29,529 --> 01:54:31,520
It seems the jury is dismissed.

1173
01:54:32,465 --> 01:54:35,400
I don't want to be misunderstood, General...

1174
01:54:36,870 --> 01:54:38,497
and I wish you...

1175
01:54:39,105 --> 01:54:40,504
a very good night.

1176
01:54:41,274 --> 01:54:45,005
I have enjoyed this session, General.
Ask me again, anytime.

1177
01:54:54,454 --> 01:54:58,515
You know, you haven't helped me, either.
You discount the verdict.

1178
01:54:59,826 --> 01:55:01,657
- But I cannot sleep.
- Look...

1179
01:55:02,128 --> 01:55:05,256
Samoilovich pointed out
the good result of what you did.

1180
01:55:05,531 --> 01:55:07,021
But it doesn't help.

1181
01:55:07,767 --> 01:55:10,463
What keeps you awake is why you did it.

1182
01:55:13,206 --> 01:55:14,264
Yes.

1183
01:55:15,909 --> 01:55:16,967
Yes.

1184
01:55:19,445 --> 01:55:20,844
Why did you do it?

1185
01:55:21,180 --> 01:55:22,477
To help my men.

1186
01:55:23,283 --> 01:55:24,375
Of course.

1187
01:55:25,018 --> 01:55:28,476
But when you got into
Lieutenant Lundborg's aircraft...

1188
01:55:29,589 --> 01:55:31,284
you were thinking of...

1189
01:55:32,125 --> 01:55:33,183
what?

1190
01:55:36,162 --> 01:55:37,959
- I can't remember.
- Try.

1191
01:55:39,432 --> 01:55:42,265
<i>Good heavens,</i>
<i>I was thinking of 1,000 things.</i>

1192
01:55:43,036 --> 01:55:44,298
<i>For example...</i>

1193
01:55:44,437 --> 01:55:46,871
<i>were you thinking</i>
<i>that by deserting your men...</i>

1194
01:55:46,940 --> 01:55:48,840
<i>you could possibly save them?</i>

1195
01:55:49,342 --> 01:55:50,366
<i>Yes.</i>

1196
01:55:50,443 --> 01:55:53,901
<i>And you were also thinking</i>
<i>of the possibility of your disgrace.</i>

1197
01:55:53,980 --> 01:55:55,140
<i>Of course.</i>

1198
01:55:55,782 --> 01:55:59,274
<i>There were 50 good reasons for staying</i>
<i>and 50 for leaving.</i>

1199
01:55:59,519 --> 01:56:00,679
<i>No.</i>

1200
01:56:00,987 --> 01:56:04,684
<i>There were 50 for staying, 51 for leaving.</i>

1201
01:56:05,591 --> 01:56:06,751
<i>You left.</i>

1202
01:56:08,094 --> 01:56:11,586
<i>- Which was the 51st reason?</i>
<i>- I can't say.</i>

1203
01:56:13,099 --> 01:56:16,933
<i>At the moment of takeoff,</i>
<i>which reason was most vivid?</i>

1204
01:56:17,670 --> 01:56:20,605
<i>Not the most important now,</i>
<i>but the most vivid then.</i>

1205
01:56:20,807 --> 01:56:23,674
<i>- I can't remember.</i>
<i>- Try. You're in the air.</i>

1206
01:56:24,243 --> 01:56:27,974
<i>- You're thinking of Lundborg's promise.</i>
<i>- Six flights, and they'll all be safe.</i>

1207
01:56:28,047 --> 01:56:29,173
<i>And the weather?</i>

1208
01:56:29,248 --> 01:56:32,945
<i>If the weather doesn't hold,</i>
<i>the</i> Krassin <i>is still the best chance.</i>

1209
01:56:33,052 --> 01:56:34,917
<i>You're thinking of me?</i>

1210
01:56:35,254 --> 01:56:37,518
<i>You, the three on foot...</i>

1211
01:56:38,658 --> 01:56:40,285
<i>the men in the keelson.</i>

1212
01:56:40,426 --> 01:56:43,520
<i>The planes must cover the map</i>
<i>square by square.</i>

1213
01:56:43,963 --> 01:56:46,295
<i>Yes. They need you back in Kingsbay.</i>

1214
01:56:46,432 --> 01:56:49,833
<i>Ground parties must be organized,</i>
<i>and Captain Romagna must...</i>

1215
01:56:49,936 --> 01:56:51,096
<i>Go on.</i>

1216
01:56:52,005 --> 01:56:53,097
Oh, my God!

1217
01:56:54,941 --> 01:56:57,535
I was thinking of a hot bath at Kingsbay.

1218
01:56:58,945 --> 01:57:00,071
Of course.

1219
01:57:02,315 --> 01:57:04,613
And that was the reason for not going.

1220
01:57:06,019 --> 01:57:07,486
You made a mistake.

1221
01:57:08,988 --> 01:57:12,515
Just a mistake.
But, my friend, what a moment to make it.

1222
01:57:13,292 --> 01:57:16,489
- You despise me?
- Despise you?

1223
01:57:18,197 --> 01:57:21,428
If you'd said anything else,
I wouldn't have believed you.

1224
01:57:22,835 --> 01:57:24,894
You'd been four weeks on the ice.

1225
01:57:25,304 --> 01:57:27,670
There was a hot bath 50 minutes away.

1226
01:57:28,374 --> 01:57:31,741
No. It wouldn't have been human
not to have thought of it.

1227
01:57:33,780 --> 01:57:38,046
But you see, when we take up leadership,
we forfeit the right to be human...

1228
01:57:39,052 --> 01:57:41,520
and nobody who's fit to lead can do that.

1229
01:57:42,655 --> 01:57:46,648
Perhaps leadership is a crime.
If it is, then we are both guilty.

1230
01:57:47,160 --> 01:57:49,628
The only difference between us is that...

1231
01:57:50,163 --> 01:57:52,825
I had the good luck
to die soon after Guilbaud.

1232
01:57:52,899 --> 01:57:55,993
And if I had the misfortune to be still alive...

1233
01:57:56,102 --> 01:57:59,128
- What would you do?
- Forgive myself...

1234
01:58:00,506 --> 01:58:01,666
and sleep.

1235
01:58:07,647 --> 01:58:09,012
Sleep, my friend.

1236
01:58:10,149 --> 01:58:11,844
That's the proper thing.

1237
01:58:13,186 --> 01:58:14,380
And dream.

1238
01:58:15,955 --> 01:58:17,081
Of what?

1239
01:58:19,158 --> 01:58:21,786
Of all the things that we attempted.

1240
01:58:24,063 --> 01:58:25,257
Great things.

1241
01:58:27,834 --> 01:58:31,099
And of the things that we saw.
