You'll have your prove by year's end
The world will be amazed.
Challenger,don't shoot you'll kill him!
Challenger! Do something!
Roxton let go!
Tell this thing that!
The bag Roxton the bag.
What about me!
Roxton catch!
Don't let go.
I need that egg!
Challenger!
Professor are you all right?
I'll make it drop him in the water.
Do something!
The egg, did you break the egg?
You're all heart.
Now, now we can go home.
At the dawn of the century
A band of adventures
set out to prove the impossible
The existence of a prehistoric world
The Visionary
The Heiress
The Hunter
The Scientist
and the Reporter
All chasing the story of a lifetime
Stranded in a savage land
Befriended by an untamed beauty
Together they fight to survive
In this amazing world of lost civilizations
and terrifying creatures
Always searching for a way home
A way out of the Lost World
This is where we live.
Are you quite sure about this?
Second thoughts Doctor?
Well itâs just that from what I can see the Zanga donât take kindly to strangers.
Doctor their clothing.
Those helmets must be over five hundred years old.
Good God!
people have been coming here for centuries.
He says sheâs threatened the village by bringing us here.
Heâs invited me inside.
You surely donât intend to go in there alone, with him.
You want to leave this place or not.
Shouldnât we do something?
Relax Doctor sheâs the toughest one of our group.
Youâre right you have everything you could ever ask for.
What can I offer you?
Veronica
Tell me Miss Krux, how did you get Chief Jacoba to agree?
We speak the same language.
Oh excellent Miss Krux well done again.
Taking a last look?
Yeah, well Iâll always have these
even if they arenât the real thing.
Can I see?
I hope you donât mind?
Youâre being thorough.
Well my readers back home are going to want to know everything so.
Whatâs going to happen when you tell the world about this place?
I donât know.
I mean if they believe it someone will want to see it for themselves.
Would you ...
Would you ever consider seeing my world?
Iâve thought about it, many times.
But?
I canât...
...not until I find out what happened to my parents.
Yeah.
Somebodyâs coming.
Itâs my father and the bearers. Are you ready to go?
All packed although some of us seem to have a bit more than others.
I donât see any torches.
Itâs quiet all of a sudden.
Too quiet.
Get the lights.
Second time Iâve saved your life.
There wonât be a third I assure you.
Theyâre gone everythingâs going to be fine.
Weâre all alright.
Is she going to be okay?
She has a sever concussion.
Assai? Has anyone seen Assai?
Shouldnât we wait till morning? Weâll be able to track.
No telling what theyâll do to her by then, what theyâre doing to her now.
Where the hell is Malone?
Thatâs the least of our worries.
Malone!
You better go.
Iâll look after her.
The Zangas will be here soon.
Tell Jacobaâs men to follow us weâre going to need their help.
Take care of her will ya.
I will.
Couldnât have been gone for more than half an hour.
How can we be sure sheâs still alive?
Be sure.
Yes look half dragged half carried by the looks of it.
Ah this is pointless we canât see a damn thing.
There was a tar pool back there perhaps we can go and get some torches.
Why donât we just tell the ape-man weâve been following them while were at it.
You know Challenger
perhaps we should tell our Pterodactyl friend to help us with air surveillance.
Your turn next time Professor.
Wait a second thatâs it why didnât think of that before.
Roxton youâre a genius.
What are you talking about?
Just keep moving Iâve got an idea.
Has he gone completely mad?
No, heâs got an idea.
Heâs saving his hide Iâll bet.
Come on itâll be light soon.
No one returns from the ape-men.
What is he doing here?
Its okay Veronica itâs nothing you rest.
Iâm going with you.
The air is thick here.
The magma displacement vents it up from the below the surface.
This is a hellish land.
Perfect home for our simian friends.
Weâre on the right track.
Could she really still be alive?
I donât know Doctor.
Well if she is alive surely weâll be outnumbered by the beasts.
Yes, too bad Malone got cold feet
...we could have used another gun.
Marguerite?
Oh my head.
You have a nasty bump take it easy.
Malone and the others?
They went after Assai.
The ape-men took her.
I must go after them. Theyâll kill them all.
Veronica lay down you are still weak.
Where are we?
The Zanga village.
Why am I dressed like this?
Thereâs going to be a wedding.
Whoâs?
Yours.
Can you see her?
Nah ah
To the right by the fire.
Great Scott! Sheâs dinner.
Iâll give them something to eat.
They outnumber us ten to one.
The odds wonât get any better.
Say your prayers Doctor.
Theyâve already been answered.
Malone perfect timing.
I take back what I said about that man.
Cover me!
Come on Assai we have a balloon to catch!
Behind you!
Come on, Summerlee!
Iâm coming Iâm coming!
Behind you.
Right.
Come on!
Sand bags, get the sand bags
Home free.
You dropped this.
Thank you.
Whatâs the problem?
Hydrogenâs running low.
Can we make it as far as the Zanga village?
No chance. Iâll get us as close as I can, but itâll be night fall before we get there.
I wonât do it.
Iâm not sure you have a choice.
Iâd rather die than marry Jacoba.
Come on thatâs no way for a bride to talk.
What is wrong with you?
One of us needs to remain calm.
Youâre the one who did this to me didnât you?
Me? Donât be absurd.
What did you trade me for
stones, no gold?
Someoneâs got an overactive imagination.
We were alone at the treehouse.
This is how you bargained your way off the plateau.
You were hurt.
I was the one thing you could trade.
Jacoba arrive with his men.
Your freedom for my body?
What the hell was I supposed to do?
I mean when Jacoba came for you
what was I supposed to do all alone?
Thatâs what I meant.
Of course you did.
Whatever deal you made with Jacoba Marguerite, I suggest you un-make it.
Because if I do marry Jacoba;
Iâm entitled to a wedding present...
your head on a platter.
I never knew you were such a romantic.
Iâll leave you to get ready.
Marguerite!
Marguerite - help me!
I will not marry him!
Marguerite!
Thank god youâre here.
What the hellâs going on?
Jacobaâs forcing Veronica to marry him.
What are they saying?
Sheâs trying to get him to show us the way home.
I thought youâd already taken care of that Miss Krux?
I had.
So where were you during all this?
What could I do?
Jacobaâs got all these warriors.
Heâs not what youâd call a reasonable man.
So he didnât hurt you?
No
but I canât imagine what wouldâve happen if you hadnât come back.
Maybe I shouldnât go, maybe I should stay.
Ned no, you have your story to tell.
Itâs important to you.
What if Jacoba tries this again.
Assai will make sure he never bothers me again.
Letâs not think about it right now.
Youâre alive thatâs what matters.
Yeah
We have tonight.
Just one more question Marguerite.
How did Jacoba get in the treehouse?
He flew, how do you think he got there? He took the elevator.
Yes of course thatâs what I thought.
Oh how Iâll miss these little chats.
And why did you send the elevator down?
Excuse me?
The elevator...
Jacoba could have shown up with a hundred men.
You would have been safe in the treehouse until we returned.
But instead you chose to send the elevator down you let him in.
We had just lost his daughter to the ape-men.
I thought the poor guy could use some comforting.
Comfort, ...from you?
Or at least a stiff drink.
How was I supposed to know he had matrimony in mind?
Of course you never would have sold Veronica out to him now would you?
Except in exchange for what,
a few baubles perhaps?
You know Iâm getting a little tired of people accusing me of things.
You ever wonder why?
No harm done...
this time.
You donât think much of me do you?
Less than youâll ever know.
Doesnât matter...
tomorrow weâll be on our way home.
Then when we get to London weâll never have to see each other again
will we?.
No I donât suppose we will.
We will leave in the morning.
My father will reveal the way through the caves to me tonight
and I will guide you.
How did you get him to agree?
I survived the ape-men...
no one has ever done that before.
The Zanga seem to think I have some godly power.
For my father to deny a god would be sacrilege.
This is still my expedition Roxton...
and the Pterodactyl egg is the most important thing of all.
Except maybe our lives.
You ready?
Almost...
Good...
once weâre off this plateau we still have to make it through the Amazon alive.
And past headhunters.
And T-Rex and ape-men...
there are too many ways to die out here.
Wouldnât that be something...
survive dinosaurs only to be eaten by cannibals on the way home.
I fail to see the humor in that.
Oh lighten up Challenger
youâre about to become a national hero.
Yes.
Well letâs dream about the tickertape parade once weâre home. Shall we?
Iâll take full responsibility for the Pterodactyl egg.
As if youâd trust anyone else to carry it for you.
Keep the load light Marguerite
we have to be prepared to drop our pack at any moment.
Our lives may depend on it.
Lose our packs how are we going to make it home?
Ammunition, guns, water carry those on your body.
Along with anything else you canât live without.
Ready?
Iâll just take one last look around.
Hurry now,
Assai says itâs a dayâs journey through the caves.
Iâm almost there.
I must admit Challenger I found this expedition exhilarating.
In a perverse way Iâve actually enjoyed it.
Enjoy it a lot more when you get back to London
especially when our friend in the egg hatches and introduces himself to civilized society.
London you know Iâm actually beginning to believe that we may get home.
Oh believe it Summerlee.
The world will never be the same again.
This is the way to the other world.
Doesnât look very inviting.
Iâll go with you part of the way.
Yeah, Iâd like that.
Looks like those who have gone before us have left us something to light the way.
The caves are dark and very dangerous go slowly and go only where I go.
Challenger your torch here look.
Prehistoric no doubt.
The quality is magnificent.
Far superior to the Spanish paintings of Altamira
Yes look at this one the depiction is...
very similar to the one I saw on the alter in the Zanga village
Yes these are not of our making but...
we believe that this tells the story of the birth of our God Atunga.
The symbolism is not of our world.
Wish we had time to transcribe them.
Take a mental picture Doctor...
and letâs get going.
Yes Summerlee you can study them in depth...
on the return expedition.
Return expedition.
How much further Assai?
Soon, my father said it was at the end of this tunnel.
Its carbon based.
Yes and very brittle Miss Krux...
be careful.
We donât want to precipitate a geologic shift.
No Miss Krux...
please donât do that.
Extraordinary.
Look at all these theyâre just lying on the ground.
Where to now Assai?
Thatâs the way out.
Jacoba said that a path goes outside along the crease for the rest of the way.
Thatâs why no ones found this place.
The only way in is halfway up a mountain.
Roxton,
do you want to check out that opening and see what weâll find.
You must think of me as some kind of mountain goat Challenger.
At least there wonât be a flying lizard to greet me at the top
Itâs my turn to save your life.
Everybody out!
My egg!
Run for your lives!
Come on! Come on!
Why are we the only ones here?
I think we took a wrong turn.
Brilliant you figured that out by yourself.
No wonder no one likes you.
Who doesnât like me?
Tell me again how much you donât like me.
Thanks
Thatâs okay you and Ned can name your first child after me.
Go go!
Assie, run!
Iâve lost my egg Iâve lost it.
Damn your bloody egg.
Weâve lost the only way off this god forsaken plateau.
Yes Professor Iâd say you have plenty of time to find yourself another egg.
All those beautiful stones buried forever.
How the hell did that happen anyway?
It certainly wasnât volcanic.
Donât look at me I didnât do it.
It doesnât matter how it happened, itâs done. We have other things to worry about now.
Yes weâre in ape-men territory.
We must start back for my village immediately.
I guess greed has its own rewards.
Weâll rest here.
Thereâs a stream down there Iâll go get water.
Iâll come with you.
So I guess weâre here for good huh?
Weâll keep looking for a way out.
This was supposed to be my big break.
â¦story of a life time
You know you could look at it like you just have...
more of a story to tell when you do get back.
I guess youâre right.
I guess there are some...
positive aspects to staying here.
You think so?
Yeah I do.
My God that is the scariest thing Iâve ever seen.
Come on.
Yeah.
I want to thank you for saving my life back there.
Did our hear me I said thank you?
Itâs what you wanted to hear all along?
You ungrateful arrogant.
Shut up.
Malone...Malone
Everyone to the center of the clearing!
On my mark...
steady, fire at will!
No thereâs too many. Iâve got an idea come on.
I see what you mean about simians Roxton.
Oh good heâs still here.
What are you doing?
Hey you big fella yeah who you eating for dessert huh? Hey!
Are you mad?
Trust me trust me.
Hey you thatâs right right here prime meat.
Come and get it!
Fire!
We canât out run him.
Well what do we do?
Follow me.
What are you doing?
Come on.
OK, down, down, easy.
Once again your timing couldnât be better thank you both of you.
You make a good team.
Indeed they do.
Now that would make a find trophy.
Iâm sure heâd feel the same about you.
Youâll get your chance Lord Roxton.
Iâve no doubt about that.
What did he say?
Heâs thanking the Gods for giving him the strength
to save us all from the ape-men.
He wasnât even there.
Heâs got a daughter to live up to.
These arenât as fine as some of the others...
but perhaps we could trade anyway.
Give it a rest.
I hate to say this Challenger but everything you said was true...
every last word.
Fat lot of good it will do either of us with no way to get home.
Weâll find a way home.
Until then weâve got the greatest grounds for research a scientist could ever dream of.
A whole lost world.
