Subtitles by explosiveskull

2
00:00:45,296 --> 00:00:46,297
How bad is the tear?!

3
00:00:50,968 --> 00:00:52,553
We need to lose more weight!

4
00:00:57,224 --> 00:00:59,393
Stop the carriage!

5
00:01:04,482 --> 00:01:06,233
Amelia?

6
00:01:13,324 --> 00:01:16,243
Are you quite well?

7
00:01:16,327 --> 00:01:18,037
You don't need
to fly today.

8
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,622
You can return
to Richmond with me.

9
00:01:19,705 --> 00:01:21,290
Antonia,
I just need a moment.

10
00:01:21,373 --> 00:01:23,918
After all you've been through,
no one will think worse of you.

11
00:01:24,001 --> 00:01:25,628
I would.

12
00:01:25,711 --> 00:01:28,506
I would think worse of me.

13
00:01:28,589 --> 00:01:31,383
I have an agreement
with Mr. Glaisher.

14
00:01:31,467 --> 00:01:33,010
You barely know the man,

15
00:01:33,093 --> 00:01:34,887
and the little you do,
you're irritated by.

16
00:01:34,970 --> 00:01:37,765
Antonia, please, I...

17
00:01:37,848 --> 00:01:39,767
just need a moment.

18
00:01:40,976 --> 00:01:43,938
One last piece
of sisterly advice.

19
00:01:45,523 --> 00:01:48,275
Doubt is there
to be listened to.

20
00:02:19,390 --> 00:02:21,058
Come and get your tickets!

21
00:02:21,141 --> 00:02:24,645
Amelia Wren!
How high will she go?!

22
00:02:24,728 --> 00:02:27,356
And afterwards, I've got
to take you straight to...

23
00:02:29,984 --> 00:02:31,902
Amelia Wren!

24
00:02:31,986 --> 00:02:33,946
Well, I read all about it...

25
00:02:47,626 --> 00:02:49,587
Hey, you! Get out of the road!

26
00:02:49,670 --> 00:02:51,755
Come on. Move along.

27
00:03:48,562 --> 00:03:51,815
She's late.

28
00:03:51,899 --> 00:03:53,692
She is, but that's
the least of your concerns.

29
00:03:53,776 --> 00:03:55,194
We'll lose the light, John.

30
00:03:55,277 --> 00:03:57,071
James, do the clouds
not look ominous to you?

31
00:03:57,154 --> 00:03:58,530
I repeatedly explained
to Miss Wren

32
00:03:58,614 --> 00:04:00,074
the importance
of catching the right light

33
00:04:00,157 --> 00:04:01,700
and the right wind
at the right time,

34
00:04:01,784 --> 00:04:05,287
- and she's just openly ignored me.
- James, look up.

35
00:04:05,371 --> 00:04:06,956
It's not a concern, John.

36
00:04:07,039 --> 00:04:08,540
The readings I took
this morning were quite clear.

37
00:04:08,624 --> 00:04:10,209
Far be it from me
to doubt you, James,

38
00:04:10,292 --> 00:04:12,086
but your weather predictions
have been wrong in the past,

39
00:04:12,169 --> 00:04:13,420
and it's just possible
that you've missed...

40
00:04:13,504 --> 00:04:14,630
Don't even think of it.

41
00:04:14,713 --> 00:04:15,547
Ah.

42
00:04:15,631 --> 00:04:17,633
Ned Chambers,

43
00:04:17,716 --> 00:04:19,134
John Trew,
my very good friend.

44
00:04:19,218 --> 00:04:21,595
John, this is Ned,
one of the hardy entrepreneurs

45
00:04:21,679 --> 00:04:23,222
who's invested
in our expedition.

46
00:04:23,305 --> 00:04:25,516
Do not even think of telling me
flight is not possible.

47
00:04:25,599 --> 00:04:28,352
Mr. Chambers, we are scientists
of the air, and we can tell you

48
00:04:28,435 --> 00:04:31,772
the one thing no one
can control is, well, the air.

49
00:04:31,855 --> 00:04:34,566
I have paid for gas.
I have paid for silk.

50
00:04:34,650 --> 00:04:36,276
And is this balloon
not the strongest

51
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:37,569
and largest that's ever been?

52
00:04:37,653 --> 00:04:39,530
Even so,
it can't fight the weather.

53
00:04:39,613 --> 00:04:41,615
You don't want to be
responsible for a tragedy, sir.

54
00:04:41,699 --> 00:04:43,951
I don't wish to be responsible
for refunding the 10,000

55
00:04:44,034 --> 00:04:45,869
that came here because
you promised them history.

56
00:04:45,953 --> 00:04:47,913
We'll fly, Ned. We'll fly.

57
00:04:47,997 --> 00:04:50,040
I only need the sky
to hold for 90 minutes,

58
00:04:50,124 --> 00:04:53,085
and once we're above
the cloud line, we'll be fine.

59
00:04:53,168 --> 00:04:54,503
Good. That's fixed, then.

60
00:04:54,586 --> 00:04:58,674
Now, did you not promise me
a 5:00 ascent?

61
00:04:58,757 --> 00:04:59,883
I'm set.

62
00:04:59,967 --> 00:05:01,844
I'm merely waiting
for our pilot.

63
00:05:01,927 --> 00:05:04,972
And it's not the first time
Miss Wren has kept me waiting.

64
00:05:12,688 --> 00:05:15,482
What a truly pleasant man.

65
00:05:15,566 --> 00:05:17,818
One must make compromises
in order to achieve greatness,

66
00:05:17,901 --> 00:05:20,446
my friend.

67
00:05:22,031 --> 00:05:24,283
And he...

68
00:05:24,366 --> 00:05:26,452
is merely one compromise.

69
00:05:35,627 --> 00:05:40,007
Hello, everybody, and welcome!

70
00:05:44,261 --> 00:05:45,679
Welcome back, Amelia!

71
00:05:45,763 --> 00:05:48,223
Are you ready?

72
00:05:54,855 --> 00:05:56,523
Amelia!

73
00:05:59,985 --> 00:06:02,613
You're incredibly late.

74
00:06:02,696 --> 00:06:05,115
Lesson number one
of aeronauting:

75
00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:07,367
We are creatures of the skies

76
00:06:07,451 --> 00:06:09,870
and have no respect
for landlocked clocks.

77
00:06:09,953 --> 00:06:13,373
Mr. Glaisher, are you
really not a gentleman at all?

78
00:06:13,457 --> 00:06:16,752
Hold out your hand to me.

79
00:06:19,296 --> 00:06:21,131
- Go on, Glaisher!
- Go on! - Take her hand!

80
00:06:21,215 --> 00:06:23,133
Look like you've never
seen a woman before!

81
00:06:23,217 --> 00:06:24,927
- Don't keep a lady waiting!
- Come on, Mr. Glaisher!

82
00:06:25,010 --> 00:06:26,178
Take her hand!

83
00:06:26,261 --> 00:06:28,347
Take her hand, Mr. Glaisher!

84
00:06:33,060 --> 00:06:34,937
You're naughty!

85
00:06:36,522 --> 00:06:38,190
Are you ready?

86
00:06:38,273 --> 00:06:41,276
Mr. Glaisher, you have no
conception of how ready I am.

87
00:06:50,035 --> 00:06:51,120
Posey!

88
00:06:51,203 --> 00:06:53,372
Good dog.

89
00:06:53,455 --> 00:06:56,208
She's got a dog!

90
00:06:56,291 --> 00:06:57,668
Posey.

91
00:06:57,751 --> 00:06:59,211
No, no, no.

92
00:06:59,294 --> 00:07:00,379
No, absolutely not.

93
00:07:00,462 --> 00:07:02,089
Under no circumstances
are we taking a dog.

94
00:07:02,172 --> 00:07:04,216
I told you we'd have to play
to the crowd,

95
00:07:04,299 --> 00:07:06,218
and they prefer my dog
to your boxes.

96
00:07:06,301 --> 00:07:07,845
Those are essential
meteorological instruments.

97
00:07:07,928 --> 00:07:10,305
And this is an essential dog.

98
00:07:11,557 --> 00:07:12,599
She's called Posey.

99
00:07:12,683 --> 00:07:14,560
The essential...

100
00:07:14,643 --> 00:07:17,271
Posey!

101
00:07:20,941 --> 00:07:22,442
Go on. In you go.

102
00:07:22,526 --> 00:07:23,986
Excuse me.

103
00:07:25,696 --> 00:07:28,115
Ladies and gentlemen,

104
00:07:28,198 --> 00:07:31,034
today, myself... Amelia Wren...

105
00:07:31,118 --> 00:07:33,954
my naughty scientist,
Mr. Glaisher...

106
00:07:34,037 --> 00:07:37,457
and my wonder dog Posey

107
00:07:37,541 --> 00:07:40,377
are going to change the world.

108
00:07:40,460 --> 00:07:42,838
Are you ready for us to do so?

109
00:07:44,882 --> 00:07:49,428
This balloon on which I stand...

110
00:07:49,511 --> 00:07:53,932
the Mammoth...
is a balloon like no other,

111
00:07:54,016 --> 00:07:58,979
and will allow us to ascend
higher into the air

112
00:07:59,062 --> 00:08:03,483
than any man or woman
has ever gone.

113
00:08:11,408 --> 00:08:15,537
The French rose to 23,000 feet.

114
00:08:15,621 --> 00:08:19,124
Today, we will
break that record

115
00:08:19,208 --> 00:08:23,170
and reclaim it
for these fair shores!

116
00:08:25,172 --> 00:08:27,299
Who knows?

117
00:08:27,382 --> 00:08:30,761
We may reach the Moon

118
00:08:30,844 --> 00:08:33,555
and bring back...

119
00:08:33,639 --> 00:08:36,099
stardust!

120
00:08:36,183 --> 00:08:40,896
Today is a day
when history will be made,

121
00:08:40,979 --> 00:08:43,732
and you will all be
a part of it.

122
00:08:48,362 --> 00:08:50,781
Mr. Glaisher,
now is your moment.

123
00:08:50,864 --> 00:08:52,449
Up you get.

124
00:09:06,129 --> 00:09:07,547
Fireworks?

125
00:09:07,631 --> 00:09:09,549
Are you ready?

126
00:09:09,633 --> 00:09:11,885
Yes. I just need to retake
my ground readings

127
00:09:11,969 --> 00:09:14,846
and then do one final check
of the equipment.

128
00:09:14,930 --> 00:09:16,598
Well, my equipment

129
00:09:16,682 --> 00:09:18,934
was all prepared in advance.

130
00:09:19,017 --> 00:09:20,269
Now, don't touch this rope,
Mr. Glaisher,

131
00:09:20,352 --> 00:09:21,603
'cause it will let out the gas.

132
00:09:21,687 --> 00:09:23,897
I do know how a balloon works.

133
00:09:25,023 --> 00:09:26,858
Uh, what are you doing?

134
00:09:26,942 --> 00:09:28,026
We fly.

135
00:09:28,110 --> 00:09:29,903
- The sky awaits.
- Wait, no.

136
00:09:29,987 --> 00:09:31,655
These ground readings
are essential.

137
00:09:31,738 --> 00:09:33,323
If they're not accurate...

138
00:09:39,079 --> 00:09:41,373
Godspeed, old man.

139
00:09:42,374 --> 00:09:44,418
Goodbye!

140
00:09:57,389 --> 00:09:59,599
- What are you doing?
- Giving the people their money's worth.

141
00:09:59,683 --> 00:10:01,768
W-Will that not damage
the integrity of the balloon?

142
00:10:01,852 --> 00:10:02,769
Perhaps.

143
00:10:02,853 --> 00:10:04,313
Goodbye!

144
00:10:04,396 --> 00:10:06,315
For God's sake.

145
00:10:06,398 --> 00:10:08,400
Goodbye!

146
00:10:09,359 --> 00:10:11,278
This is absurd.

147
00:10:11,361 --> 00:10:13,864
It's what they call
entertainment, Mr. Glaisher.

148
00:10:13,947 --> 00:10:15,073
Well, I'm not finding it
particularly entertaining.

149
00:10:15,157 --> 00:10:17,117
It requires a...
a sense of humor,

150
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,660
which you seem to lack.

151
00:10:23,623 --> 00:10:25,542
This is ridiculous.

152
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:26,960
Don't be so sour.

153
00:10:27,044 --> 00:10:28,962
Give me the dog.

154
00:10:29,046 --> 00:10:30,672
What do you mean,
give you the dog?

155
00:10:30,756 --> 00:10:33,175
- Pass me Posey, Mr. Glaisher.
- I'm not giving you the dog.

156
00:10:33,258 --> 00:10:35,927
Mr. Glaisher, the dog. Now.

157
00:10:38,805 --> 00:10:40,474
Goodbye!

158
00:10:43,727 --> 00:10:45,812
Quick.

159
00:10:45,896 --> 00:10:47,606
- Come on!
- What, you just want me to...

160
00:10:47,689 --> 00:10:49,608
- what, just pass her to you?
- Pass her up.

161
00:10:49,691 --> 00:10:51,026
- Yes, pass her up.
- All right.

162
00:10:51,109 --> 00:10:52,861
- Come on, Posey. Come on.
- All right.

163
00:10:52,944 --> 00:10:54,571
No, don't!

164
00:10:57,699 --> 00:10:59,534
Did you see that?

165
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,332
Well done, Posey.

166
00:11:08,585 --> 00:11:10,545
Come on, Posey.
Come on, girl.

167
00:11:11,922 --> 00:11:14,049
There he is. Ah!

168
00:11:16,468 --> 00:11:18,595
Mr. Glaisher, you are airborne

169
00:11:18,678 --> 00:11:20,889
for the first time
in your life.

170
00:11:20,972 --> 00:11:23,475
I suggest you spend less time
frowning at me and...

171
00:11:23,558 --> 00:11:26,645
more taking in this beautiful
world we've just left.

172
00:11:48,959 --> 00:11:51,002
Quite something, isn't she?

173
00:11:51,086 --> 00:11:52,379
London.

174
00:12:50,270 --> 00:12:52,189
It all looks so...

175
00:12:52,272 --> 00:12:54,316
Insignificant?

176
00:12:56,401 --> 00:12:59,029
Do you take anything seriously,
Miss Wren?

177
00:12:59,112 --> 00:13:00,363
Some things.

178
00:13:00,447 --> 00:13:03,158
That crowd gathered to witness
us break the height record.

179
00:13:03,241 --> 00:13:05,702
They didn't need to see
a flying dog.

180
00:13:05,785 --> 00:13:07,996
Mm. Still stuck there, are you?

181
00:13:08,079 --> 00:13:09,623
I've spent much of my life

182
00:13:09,706 --> 00:13:11,458
being laughed at
for what I do, Miss Wren.

183
00:13:11,541 --> 00:13:14,044
I'd rather hope that today
might prove an exception.

184
00:13:14,127 --> 00:13:16,087
Tell me, what determines
your reputation?

185
00:13:16,171 --> 00:13:17,547
My reputation?

186
00:13:17,631 --> 00:13:19,925
Yes, your standing
in the scientific community.

187
00:13:20,008 --> 00:13:22,135
The papers I've written,
the discoveries I've uncovered.

188
00:13:22,219 --> 00:13:23,887
Your reputation
is built on paper,

189
00:13:23,970 --> 00:13:26,389
and my reputation
is built on screams.

190
00:13:26,473 --> 00:13:28,975
And those people below,
they came to be entertained.

191
00:13:29,059 --> 00:13:30,519
And they, if you didn't know,

192
00:13:30,602 --> 00:13:33,480
are the ones paying
for this trip.

193
00:13:33,563 --> 00:13:35,649
You off to the opera?

194
00:13:38,902 --> 00:13:41,530
I've been looking
at the same thing.

195
00:13:41,613 --> 00:13:44,157
Don't tell me that cloud
isn't a cause for concern.

196
00:13:44,241 --> 00:13:45,742
I'm the scientist;
you're the pilot.

197
00:13:45,825 --> 00:13:48,161
Let's stick to our roles,
shall we?

198
00:14:10,058 --> 00:14:11,518
James!

199
00:14:11,601 --> 00:14:13,478
- James!
- Come on, John.

200
00:14:13,562 --> 00:14:14,896
- I'll not miss the takeoff.
- It's in the air.

201
00:14:14,980 --> 00:14:17,691
We could have stayed
on the ground and looked up.

202
00:14:17,774 --> 00:14:20,193
We must see it from
the best vantage point, Johnny.

203
00:14:20,277 --> 00:14:22,320
For God's sake.

204
00:14:28,493 --> 00:14:30,662
Sky's clear,
so I predict a clean takeoff,

205
00:14:30,745 --> 00:14:34,374
which means that in precisely
24 seconds we should see it.

206
00:14:34,457 --> 00:14:36,418
You are aware

207
00:14:36,501 --> 00:14:38,169
he might not make it
off the ground?

208
00:14:38,253 --> 00:14:40,380
Charles Green
will make it off the ground.

209
00:14:40,463 --> 00:14:43,091
Maybe not quite so close
to the edge of the building.

210
00:14:43,174 --> 00:14:44,718
Listen, John,
will you stop scowling at me?

211
00:14:44,801 --> 00:14:46,636
- Sc...
- Do I count the hours that I spend

212
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,346
helping you
pin butterflies to a board?

213
00:14:48,430 --> 00:14:51,766
Pinning butterflies
is not a dangerous pursuit.

214
00:14:51,850 --> 00:14:55,020
Five, four,

215
00:14:55,103 --> 00:14:57,647
three, two,

216
00:14:57,731 --> 00:14:59,733
one.

217
00:15:07,907 --> 00:15:09,826
Could be anything.

218
00:15:09,909 --> 00:15:12,954
The gas valve ruptured.
The silk tore.

219
00:15:21,713 --> 00:15:24,758
He's rethought
the balloon shape.

220
00:15:24,841 --> 00:15:26,885
It's wider at the top,
like a parachute.

221
00:15:26,968 --> 00:15:28,637
That's very clever.

222
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,180
May I look?

223
00:15:30,263 --> 00:15:32,390
Yes, you may. Here.

224
00:15:40,857 --> 00:15:42,484
John.

225
00:15:42,567 --> 00:15:44,486
If you've had time enough...

226
00:15:56,790 --> 00:15:59,000
You'll get your chance,
you know.

227
00:15:59,084 --> 00:16:00,585
They'll realize your worth.

228
00:16:00,669 --> 00:16:03,755
I think they know my worth
quite well enough.

229
00:16:06,383 --> 00:16:08,635
Gentlemen! Gentlemen!

230
00:16:08,718 --> 00:16:11,596
We-we know more now
about this world around us

231
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,431
than at any moment
in our history.

232
00:16:13,515 --> 00:16:16,142
And yet, still, still,
we are limited

233
00:16:16,226 --> 00:16:19,396
by our ignorance
as to what is truly above us.

234
00:16:19,479 --> 00:16:22,107
Now, with the progress that
we have made in balloon ascent

235
00:16:22,190 --> 00:16:24,609
here at the Society,
pioneered by Charles Green,

236
00:16:24,693 --> 00:16:27,404
we could advance meteorology
by decades.

237
00:16:27,487 --> 00:16:29,364
Analysis of
the Earth's magnetic field,

238
00:16:29,447 --> 00:16:31,950
the solar spectrum,
knowledge of the dew point,

239
00:16:32,033 --> 00:16:34,244
understanding of oxygenation
of the atmosphere,

240
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:36,371
- atmospheric...
- He wants my balloon!

241
00:16:36,454 --> 00:16:38,873
No, sir.

242
00:16:38,957 --> 00:16:42,085
No, sir, I ask for funding
for my own expedition

243
00:16:42,168 --> 00:16:44,087
into the skies.

244
00:16:44,170 --> 00:16:45,755
By gathering enough data,

245
00:16:45,839 --> 00:16:48,675
I believe that we will be able
to uncover patterns

246
00:16:48,758 --> 00:16:50,385
- and correlations that...
- Sir,

247
00:16:50,468 --> 00:16:52,679
we are scientists,
not fortune tellers.

248
00:16:52,762 --> 00:16:54,848
You're talking about
weather prediction.

249
00:16:54,931 --> 00:16:57,100
But is that not our
responsibility as scientists,

250
00:16:57,183 --> 00:16:59,185
to find order in chaos,
gentlemen?

251
00:16:59,269 --> 00:17:00,895
Please, if we could understand
the sky above us...

252
00:17:00,979 --> 00:17:02,772
You are no closer to predicting
the movements of the weather

253
00:17:02,856 --> 00:17:05,066
than the movements of a frog in a jar.

254
00:17:05,150 --> 00:17:06,693
If we could understand the skies

255
00:17:06,776 --> 00:17:08,737
above us, gentlemen...

256
00:17:08,820 --> 00:17:10,155
Gentlemen, we...

257
00:17:10,238 --> 00:17:11,948
- You're delusional, my friend.
- With your financial support,

258
00:17:12,031 --> 00:17:15,577
we are on the precipice
of extraordinary change.

259
00:17:15,660 --> 00:17:18,496
The possibility of advanced
weather prediction could...

260
00:17:18,580 --> 00:17:20,165
it could save lives.

261
00:17:20,248 --> 00:17:22,792
Gentlemen. Gent...
Gentlemen, please!

262
00:17:22,876 --> 00:17:25,128
We have to sit through this?

263
00:17:25,211 --> 00:17:27,088
Please!

264
00:17:37,223 --> 00:17:39,642
"James Glaisher spoke again

265
00:17:39,726 --> 00:17:42,353
"this week at the Royal Society

266
00:17:42,437 --> 00:17:46,149
of his plans to make a science
of the weather."

267
00:17:46,232 --> 00:17:47,650
In-in The Times.
You read it?

268
00:17:47,734 --> 00:17:49,068
Yes, I've read it, Pa.

269
00:17:49,152 --> 00:17:51,780
"To the accompaniment
of much laughter."

270
00:17:51,863 --> 00:17:54,324
- Oh, Arthur, please stop.
- They're wrong, by the way.

271
00:17:54,407 --> 00:17:56,659
Well, many more thought
you were.

272
00:17:56,743 --> 00:17:58,661
Well, many didn't believe
in Newton.

273
00:17:58,745 --> 00:18:01,498
Newton? Oh, James.

274
00:18:01,581 --> 00:18:04,292
Newton changed the way
we see the Earth

275
00:18:04,375 --> 00:18:07,337
and the planets and the stars.

276
00:18:07,420 --> 00:18:10,131
You think you can predict...

277
00:18:10,215 --> 00:18:12,133
when it might rain.

278
00:18:14,052 --> 00:18:18,807
Th-These things that people
are saying about you, James,

279
00:18:18,890 --> 00:18:20,809
don't-don't... don't they hurt?

280
00:18:22,602 --> 00:18:25,230
I wish it didn't hurt you.

281
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:42,789
Time:

282
00:18:42,872 --> 00:18:46,709
nine minutes and 23 seconds.

283
00:18:46,793 --> 00:18:51,339
Altitude is 5,400 feet.

284
00:18:51,422 --> 00:18:54,884
And air temperature is
64 degrees Fahrenheit.

285
00:18:54,968 --> 00:18:57,595
Delightful. Could you...?

286
00:18:59,931 --> 00:19:02,475
- What?
- Just-just at the top.

287
00:19:04,602 --> 00:19:06,229
Yeah.

288
00:19:18,449 --> 00:19:21,119
You should put on
your oilskins, Mr. Glaisher.

289
00:19:37,677 --> 00:19:39,178
All right.

290
00:19:39,262 --> 00:19:41,764
Out you come.

291
00:19:41,848 --> 00:19:43,892
What are you attaching
to those pigeons?

292
00:19:43,975 --> 00:19:46,060
Our readings.

293
00:19:46,144 --> 00:19:49,522
Oh. I see.

294
00:19:49,606 --> 00:19:51,691
Reassuring to know
you've contemplated our deaths.

295
00:19:51,774 --> 00:19:56,070
I've just insured against them,
should we not make it back.

296
00:20:10,001 --> 00:20:12,086
Cloud ahoy.

297
00:20:31,856 --> 00:20:35,318
"What more felicitie
can fall to creature

298
00:20:35,401 --> 00:20:37,195
"Than to enjoy delight...

299
00:20:37,278 --> 00:20:39,113
- with libertie..."
- "With libertie,

300
00:20:39,197 --> 00:20:43,034
And to be lord
of all the workes of Nature."

301
00:20:43,117 --> 00:20:46,496
"To raine
in th' aire from earth..."

302
00:20:46,579 --> 00:20:48,331
"...to the highest skie,

303
00:20:48,414 --> 00:20:52,877
To feed on flowres and weeds
of glorious feature."

304
00:20:52,961 --> 00:20:55,213
"To take what ever thing

305
00:20:55,296 --> 00:20:57,507
doth please the eie?"

306
00:20:59,842 --> 00:21:01,302
Spenser.

307
00:21:01,386 --> 00:21:02,929
"The Fate of the Butterflie."

308
00:21:03,012 --> 00:21:05,723
It's one of my favorite poems.

309
00:21:10,186 --> 00:21:11,521
Surprising.

310
00:21:11,604 --> 00:21:13,940
I didn't have you down
as a literary man.

311
00:21:14,023 --> 00:21:17,986
Men of science, uh,
can enjoy words, Miss Wren.

312
00:21:18,069 --> 00:21:20,279
My husband loved that poem.

313
00:21:21,406 --> 00:21:23,074
I would have liked
to have met your husband.

314
00:21:24,492 --> 00:21:26,285
I'm not sure
he'd have liked you.

315
00:21:26,369 --> 00:21:27,996
Really?

316
00:21:28,079 --> 00:21:31,416
He disliked people who studied
rather than practiced.

317
00:21:35,253 --> 00:21:37,755
Are we still sure
this weather will hold?

318
00:21:37,839 --> 00:21:40,508
Because my instinct
is telling me...

319
00:21:40,591 --> 00:21:43,344
Instinct has no place
in weather prediction.

320
00:21:43,428 --> 00:21:44,846
You're lying to me.

321
00:21:44,929 --> 00:21:46,389
Every reading that I took
this morning

322
00:21:46,472 --> 00:21:47,890
was quite clear, Miss Wren.

323
00:21:47,974 --> 00:21:49,642
There are no advantages
in concealing concerns.

324
00:21:49,726 --> 00:21:51,936
We are trapped here
no matter what you say.

325
00:21:52,020 --> 00:21:55,815
This pressure is changing
faster than I'd anticipated.

326
00:21:58,818 --> 00:22:00,361
We're about to get wet.

327
00:22:15,835 --> 00:22:17,670
And so it begins.

328
00:22:25,678 --> 00:22:29,057
I'm not sure your instruments
are much use to us now.

329
00:22:29,140 --> 00:22:30,850
We need to batten down,

330
00:22:30,933 --> 00:22:33,936
so please put on
your wet weather clothing.

331
00:22:36,314 --> 00:22:39,317
There are no prizes
for obstinacy.

332
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:40,818
James.

333
00:22:40,902 --> 00:22:43,571
If you won't listen to me,
listen to that.

334
00:22:43,654 --> 00:22:46,074
But not one of my readings
suggested a storm.

335
00:22:46,157 --> 00:22:49,202
Well, that's what it is,
and we're inside a cumulo,

336
00:22:49,285 --> 00:22:52,121
which is precisely
where we shouldn't be.

337
00:22:52,205 --> 00:22:53,372
Don't worry.

338
00:22:53,456 --> 00:22:54,832
She's not made
of conductive material,

339
00:22:54,916 --> 00:22:56,793
so we won't attract lightning.

340
00:22:56,876 --> 00:22:58,586
And if we are struck,

341
00:22:58,669 --> 00:23:00,838
the gas will explode,
so we won't live long enough

342
00:23:00,922 --> 00:23:02,465
for me to point out...

343
00:23:05,510 --> 00:23:06,761
Hold on!

344
00:23:12,975 --> 00:23:14,352
Get that equipment
put away now!

345
00:23:14,435 --> 00:23:15,937
These instruments
will give us...

346
00:23:19,899 --> 00:23:21,192
Stay still and keep calm.

347
00:23:21,275 --> 00:23:22,944
I need to get us out of this.

348
00:23:28,741 --> 00:23:31,452
No! No!

349
00:23:31,536 --> 00:23:33,079
We cannot descend!

350
00:23:33,162 --> 00:23:35,164
This might be our one
and only opportunity.

351
00:23:35,248 --> 00:23:37,041
- Of course we don't descend.
- We don't?

352
00:23:37,125 --> 00:23:38,918
There are two ways
to break a storm.

353
00:23:39,001 --> 00:23:42,588
One is to travel beneath it,
the other above it.

354
00:23:42,672 --> 00:23:46,008
The safest way is up.

355
00:23:47,301 --> 00:23:48,886
The safest way is up?

356
00:23:48,970 --> 00:23:51,681
Who did you think
you got in a balloon with?

357
00:24:11,284 --> 00:24:13,494
Amelia!

358
00:24:13,578 --> 00:24:17,540
Amelia! Amelia!

359
00:24:17,623 --> 00:24:19,584
Give me your hand!

360
00:24:25,047 --> 00:24:26,424
Hold on!

361
00:24:31,179 --> 00:24:33,055
Hold on!

362
00:24:37,059 --> 00:24:39,145
Take my hand! Take my hand!

363
00:24:39,228 --> 00:24:41,272
One!

364
00:24:41,355 --> 00:24:42,690
Two!

365
00:24:42,773 --> 00:24:44,192
Three!

366
00:25:09,675 --> 00:25:12,386
- You all right?
- Yes.

367
00:25:40,873 --> 00:25:42,541
Hold on!

368
00:25:42,625 --> 00:25:44,168
It's not over yet.

369
00:27:12,298 --> 00:27:13,841
A lucky escape.

370
00:27:13,924 --> 00:27:15,843
Or a brilliant one.

371
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,242
May I look through
your spyglass, sir?

372
00:27:40,326 --> 00:27:41,577
There's nothing to see.

373
00:27:41,660 --> 00:27:43,245
I lost them
when the storm passed over.

374
00:27:43,329 --> 00:27:45,373
I would like a look
all the same, sir.

375
00:27:45,456 --> 00:27:46,624
I won't steal it.

376
00:27:46,707 --> 00:27:49,293
I didn't presume you would.

377
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:52,963
You have an interest
in the air?

378
00:27:53,047 --> 00:27:54,965
Don't you wish
to be up there with them?

379
00:27:55,049 --> 00:27:57,510
No, I'd be
an unnecessary weight.

380
00:27:57,593 --> 00:27:58,886
All the same.

381
00:28:02,556 --> 00:28:04,809
Some reach for the stars.

382
00:28:04,892 --> 00:28:07,269
Some push others towards them.

383
00:28:09,271 --> 00:28:10,731
I wish I was up there.

384
00:28:10,815 --> 00:28:13,651
You're not afraid
of the clouds?

385
00:28:13,734 --> 00:28:15,945
Clouds are just water.

386
00:28:16,028 --> 00:28:17,321
Oh.

387
00:28:17,405 --> 00:28:19,573
And what of the birds
that may attack you?

388
00:28:21,659 --> 00:28:23,828
May I look through
your spyglass?

389
00:28:33,879 --> 00:28:35,464
I can see them, sir.

390
00:28:35,548 --> 00:28:36,841
Not possible.

391
00:28:36,924 --> 00:28:39,593
I-I can see them, sir. I can.

392
00:28:58,737 --> 00:29:00,948
That's my entire body weight.

393
00:29:05,119 --> 00:29:07,246
You all right?

394
00:29:10,749 --> 00:29:11,917
There we go.

395
00:29:12,001 --> 00:29:13,627
Now, that should hold.

396
00:29:13,711 --> 00:29:14,962
I hope.

397
00:29:15,045 --> 00:29:16,714
Looks pretty precarious to me.

398
00:29:16,797 --> 00:29:19,216
She's stronger
than she looks.

399
00:29:19,300 --> 00:29:20,926
Right.

400
00:29:23,596 --> 00:29:26,015
James.

401
00:29:26,098 --> 00:29:28,350
James, you'll miss it.

402
00:29:34,231 --> 00:29:36,275
That's an aureole.

403
00:29:38,402 --> 00:29:40,070
Have you seen
one of those before?

404
00:29:40,154 --> 00:29:41,530
You haven't?

405
00:29:41,614 --> 00:29:43,741
I have in books.

406
00:29:54,335 --> 00:29:57,129
I believe you should be
checking your instruments.

407
00:29:57,213 --> 00:29:59,757
You can't have taken a good
reading in quite some time.

408
00:30:01,967 --> 00:30:05,221
You so enjoy being amused
by me, don't you?

409
00:30:05,304 --> 00:30:07,223
I'm amused by your enjoyment

410
00:30:07,306 --> 00:30:10,935
of something that has
nothing to do with numbers.

411
00:30:27,493 --> 00:30:30,454
Have you noticed
it's completely silent?

412
00:30:41,423 --> 00:30:46,929
Hello...!

413
00:31:27,303 --> 00:31:30,472
Cloud ahoy...!

414
00:31:37,438 --> 00:31:39,773
Can you hear that?

415
00:31:39,857 --> 00:31:41,275
It's a bell.

416
00:31:43,402 --> 00:31:46,447
That's bells.

417
00:31:46,530 --> 00:31:48,699
Where is that coming from?

418
00:31:48,782 --> 00:31:51,577
That's horses.

419
00:31:51,660 --> 00:31:53,662
So the humid conditions
must be conducting the sound.

420
00:31:53,746 --> 00:31:55,414
- We have...
- That's the sound of the street.

421
00:31:55,497 --> 00:31:57,583
...flown through a storm,
and still London follows us.

422
00:31:57,666 --> 00:31:59,209
This high barometer reading's
phenomenal.

423
00:31:59,293 --> 00:32:02,421
Amelia. Regarde-moi.

424
00:32:03,839 --> 00:32:04,882
Amelia. Amelia!

425
00:32:07,051 --> 00:32:08,093
Amelia, regarde-moi!

426
00:32:08,177 --> 00:32:09,637
Amelia!

427
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,056
Amelia, this...

428
00:32:12,139 --> 00:32:13,599
Amelia, what's the matter?

429
00:32:13,682 --> 00:32:15,726
Are you all right?

430
00:32:17,770 --> 00:32:19,688
It'll soon pass.

431
00:32:39,833 --> 00:32:41,251
I didn't lock it.

432
00:32:41,335 --> 00:32:43,212
No, you did not.

433
00:32:43,295 --> 00:32:45,172
You're not dressed.

434
00:32:45,255 --> 00:32:46,632
Yet I'm wearing clothes.

435
00:32:46,715 --> 00:32:48,842
And when was the last time
you changed them?

436
00:32:48,926 --> 00:32:52,262
So you break down my door
to tell me to wash?

437
00:32:52,346 --> 00:32:54,515
When was the last time
you opened any curtains?

438
00:32:54,598 --> 00:32:55,849
Sunlight ages.

439
00:32:55,933 --> 00:32:58,227
I want my furnishings
to retain their glow.

440
00:32:58,310 --> 00:32:59,520
Which ones are glowing?

441
00:32:59,603 --> 00:33:01,397
The ones, uh,
with your food upon them

442
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,649
or the ones that are covered
in your-your dirty clothing?

443
00:33:03,732 --> 00:33:07,277
I do not need to see it
to know it's there.

444
00:33:07,361 --> 00:33:11,073
Well, as much as you might
enjoy your self-pity,

445
00:33:11,156 --> 00:33:13,033
I'm not here
to freshen anything.

446
00:33:13,117 --> 00:33:14,410
Phillip has invited us

447
00:33:14,493 --> 00:33:17,871
- to a small gathering.
- Oh, no, no, no, no. No.

448
00:33:20,124 --> 00:33:21,709
Amelia.

449
00:33:21,792 --> 00:33:24,586
I do so hate
how you say my name.

450
00:33:24,670 --> 00:33:28,090
It's like a priest imploring
me to confess my sins.

451
00:33:29,258 --> 00:33:31,885
It's been two years.

452
00:33:31,969 --> 00:33:33,929
Do you really think Pierre
would have wanted this?

453
00:33:37,307 --> 00:33:39,727
That is beneath even you.

454
00:33:51,780 --> 00:33:53,949
I'll help you change.

455
00:33:56,410 --> 00:33:58,912
Come.

456
00:33:58,996 --> 00:34:01,039
Sisters together.

457
00:34:02,124 --> 00:34:03,751
And then I'll let you rot.

458
00:34:07,212 --> 00:34:08,589
Mm-hmm.

459
00:34:15,596 --> 00:34:17,473
So much easier to claim so

460
00:34:17,556 --> 00:34:19,057
with handsome men on one's arm.

461
00:34:19,141 --> 00:34:20,768
Yes, uh, certainly. Yes.

462
00:34:20,851 --> 00:34:22,019
Oh, please.

463
00:34:22,102 --> 00:34:23,228
Mother always taught me,

464
00:34:23,312 --> 00:34:25,481
why have one man
when you can have two?

465
00:34:25,564 --> 00:34:27,691
- Please.
- Oh. Be a pleasure to.

466
00:34:27,775 --> 00:34:29,985
- Will you excuse me?
- Bonny.

467
00:34:30,068 --> 00:34:31,695
Come on, then.

468
00:34:36,784 --> 00:34:39,620
Your sister's proud as punch
she's pulled you here.

469
00:34:39,703 --> 00:34:41,163
Hello, Auntie.

470
00:34:41,246 --> 00:34:43,832
She keeps trying to persuade
men to take you onto the floor.

471
00:34:43,916 --> 00:34:45,209
And they refuse her?

472
00:34:45,292 --> 00:34:46,919
I think
they're intimidated by you.

473
00:34:47,002 --> 00:34:48,504
How exciting.

474
00:34:48,587 --> 00:34:52,716
Still, hard to be
the woman that provokes fear.

475
00:34:57,846 --> 00:35:00,557
Are you the Widow Wren?

476
00:35:00,641 --> 00:35:02,935
I dislike that title.

477
00:35:03,018 --> 00:35:04,895
But you are Miss Wren?

478
00:35:04,978 --> 00:35:06,814
Amelia Wren.

479
00:35:06,897 --> 00:35:08,482
And who might you be?

480
00:35:08,565 --> 00:35:11,235
Glaisher. James Glaisher.

481
00:35:11,318 --> 00:35:13,737
It was a pleasure
to meet you, Mr. Glaisher.

482
00:35:13,821 --> 00:35:16,949
Wh-What brings you here?

483
00:35:17,032 --> 00:35:19,243
- Here?
- Yeah.

484
00:35:19,326 --> 00:35:23,038
The, uh... the selfish needs
of a sister.

485
00:35:23,121 --> 00:35:24,206
You?

486
00:35:24,289 --> 00:35:27,292
The mercenary needs
of a friend.

487
00:35:27,376 --> 00:35:29,628
Uh, he needed accompanying
in his romance.

488
00:35:29,711 --> 00:35:31,839
She's apparently worth
thousands of pounds a year,

489
00:35:31,922 --> 00:35:34,216
so I'm trapped here,
just as you are.

490
00:35:34,299 --> 00:35:35,676
Well, we needn't
trap each other.

491
00:35:35,759 --> 00:35:38,428
Miss Wren, sorry,
I'm a, I'm a sc-scientist,

492
00:35:38,512 --> 00:35:40,889
an astronomer
and a meteorologist, and I...

493
00:35:40,973 --> 00:35:43,350
A scientist, an astronomer
and a what?

494
00:35:43,433 --> 00:35:45,143
I believe that the weather
can be predicted.

495
00:35:46,603 --> 00:35:50,399
Miss Wren, I need to make
studies of the air,

496
00:35:50,482 --> 00:35:52,693
and I need to be in the air.

497
00:35:52,776 --> 00:35:56,280
And I need you to help me.

498
00:35:56,363 --> 00:35:58,490
Do you even have a balloon?

499
00:35:59,700 --> 00:36:00,909
Not yet, no.

500
00:36:00,993 --> 00:36:03,620
- I don't.
- So you make an invitation to me,

501
00:36:03,704 --> 00:36:06,540
when it is I
who should be inviting you?

502
00:36:06,623 --> 00:36:11,169
No, I need us...
I need you to fly us higher

503
00:36:11,253 --> 00:36:15,007
than any man or any woman
has ever been. What?

504
00:36:18,176 --> 00:36:19,803
Dance with me.

505
00:36:19,887 --> 00:36:21,221
Dance with you?

506
00:36:21,305 --> 00:36:24,308
Dance with me,
and we may converse more.

507
00:36:25,684 --> 00:36:28,103
Amelia. Um... Oh.

508
00:36:36,194 --> 00:36:38,196
I presume there's a game
you're playing here

509
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:39,615
with others in the room.

510
00:36:39,698 --> 00:36:42,284
You think I'm trying
to make another jealous?

511
00:36:42,367 --> 00:36:45,162
You're not that handsome.

512
00:36:45,245 --> 00:36:47,456
Every man in this room
is petrified

513
00:36:47,539 --> 00:36:50,542
to be seen talking to you,
let alone dancing with you.

514
00:36:50,626 --> 00:36:52,961
No, I imagine
your game is with another.

515
00:36:53,045 --> 00:36:56,048
- You're clever.
- I'm observant.

516
00:36:56,131 --> 00:36:57,424
Or presumptuous.

517
00:36:57,507 --> 00:37:00,218
And there are certain things,
if I may,

518
00:37:00,302 --> 00:37:02,804
that I feel safe
in presuming about you.

519
00:37:02,888 --> 00:37:04,139
Perhaps that you don't have

520
00:37:04,222 --> 00:37:06,099
an invitation
for tonight's events.

521
00:37:06,183 --> 00:37:08,268
Would that be
a fair presumption?

522
00:37:08,352 --> 00:37:10,854
On what basis
do you make that assumption?

523
00:37:10,938 --> 00:37:13,607
Your suit is
two years out of fashion,

524
00:37:13,690 --> 00:37:15,150
your shoes abominable,

525
00:37:15,233 --> 00:37:19,655
your dancing ridiculous...
I'm leading, you are not...

526
00:37:19,738 --> 00:37:22,115
and because this gentleman

527
00:37:22,199 --> 00:37:24,242
clearly doesn't know you
at all.

528
00:37:24,326 --> 00:37:26,161
Oh.

529
00:37:26,244 --> 00:37:28,246
Thank you for the dance.

530
00:37:28,330 --> 00:37:29,706
I didn't realize
that appearances

531
00:37:29,790 --> 00:37:31,458
were so important to you,
and I'm sorry

532
00:37:31,541 --> 00:37:33,835
that I don't live up
to this society standard.

533
00:37:33,919 --> 00:37:35,128
I don't care
what shoes you wear.

534
00:37:35,212 --> 00:37:36,296
I care that you're lying to me.

535
00:37:36,380 --> 00:37:38,423
It'll be your balloon.

536
00:37:39,883 --> 00:37:41,927
All I ask is
to be given the freedom

537
00:37:42,010 --> 00:37:43,136
to undertake my experiments.

538
00:37:43,220 --> 00:37:44,721
I'm not a coachman for hire.

539
00:37:44,805 --> 00:37:47,808
Good, because I'm looking
for a fellow scientist.

540
00:37:47,891 --> 00:37:50,811
To understand the weather,
Miss Wren, is to understand

541
00:37:50,894 --> 00:37:53,021
how to make ships
and sailors safer,

542
00:37:53,105 --> 00:37:54,564
farms more productive,

543
00:37:54,648 --> 00:37:58,485
so we can prepare ourselves
and our world for floods,

544
00:37:58,568 --> 00:38:01,446
for droughts, famines.

545
00:38:01,530 --> 00:38:04,658
We could save
thousands of lives.

546
00:38:06,660 --> 00:38:10,122
I want to rewrite the rules
of the air, Miss Wren.

547
00:38:10,205 --> 00:38:13,000
And I need your help.

548
00:38:13,083 --> 00:38:14,835
So, will you...

549
00:38:17,170 --> 00:38:18,922
...help me?

550
00:38:33,145 --> 00:38:35,313
Yeah, this seems much more...

551
00:38:35,397 --> 00:38:37,649
You're punishing me!

552
00:38:37,733 --> 00:38:39,985
I'm not sure a factory
full of flammable gases

553
00:38:40,068 --> 00:38:41,319
is the safest place
for children.

554
00:38:41,403 --> 00:38:42,738
You're punishing me
for dragging you

555
00:38:42,821 --> 00:38:43,905
to that ridiculous evening.

556
00:38:43,989 --> 00:38:45,657
No, I am grateful to you
for dragging me

557
00:38:45,741 --> 00:38:46,950
to that ridiculous evening.

558
00:38:47,034 --> 00:38:48,994
I'd not made the acquaintance
of Mr. Glaisher otherwise.

559
00:38:49,077 --> 00:38:50,120
Now, girls,

560
00:38:50,203 --> 00:38:52,497
I believe we have
some macaroons somewhere.

561
00:38:52,581 --> 00:38:54,458
If that is not proof
of you punishing me,

562
00:38:54,541 --> 00:38:57,044
- then I do not know what is.
- Not here.

563
00:38:57,127 --> 00:38:58,962
I hated you going up
in the air with Pierre,

564
00:38:59,046 --> 00:39:02,215
but why you'd want to go up
on your own, I can't even...

565
00:39:02,299 --> 00:39:04,051
With Mr. Glaisher.

566
00:39:04,134 --> 00:39:05,719
You're my only sister.

567
00:39:05,802 --> 00:39:08,972
I do not wish to lose you
to any more... foolishness.

568
00:39:09,056 --> 00:39:11,266
You'd rather I found a man
prepared to marry me

569
00:39:11,349 --> 00:39:12,976
to devote myself to.

570
00:39:13,060 --> 00:39:15,812
I'd rather you found a way
to make yourself happy.

571
00:39:15,896 --> 00:39:17,522
You can't just fly away
from your problems.

572
00:39:17,606 --> 00:39:21,902
You have to face them here,
on earth, with the rest of us.

573
00:39:21,985 --> 00:39:25,447
Look, Antonia,
I am a really good aeronaut,

574
00:39:25,530 --> 00:39:27,449
and I want to use
what I'm good at.

575
00:39:27,532 --> 00:39:29,326
Yeah, but you are
a highly accomplished woman.

576
00:39:29,409 --> 00:39:30,994
You could be good
at so many things.

577
00:39:31,078 --> 00:39:33,038
You could have the most
beautiful life in society,

578
00:39:33,121 --> 00:39:34,039
if only you'd try.

579
00:39:34,122 --> 00:39:35,540
And if that isn't what I want?

580
00:39:35,624 --> 00:39:38,168
Then you have to learn
to want it.

581
00:39:38,251 --> 00:39:40,712
Up there,

582
00:39:40,796 --> 00:39:44,382
it's where I have found
the greatest happiness.

583
00:39:47,052 --> 00:39:51,264
He was the happiness,
not the damn balloon.

584
00:39:53,141 --> 00:39:55,852
Come on, girls. We're going
to be late for lunch.

585
00:40:41,398 --> 00:40:43,984
So, have you been
this high before?

586
00:40:44,067 --> 00:40:45,360
Only once.

587
00:40:45,443 --> 00:40:47,404
With Pierre?

588
00:40:53,660 --> 00:40:56,121
We have time enough.

589
00:40:56,204 --> 00:40:57,914
Why don't you tell me
about him?

590
00:40:57,998 --> 00:41:00,750
Ashamed as I am to not stick

591
00:41:00,834 --> 00:41:03,003
to your
conversational schedule,

592
00:41:03,086 --> 00:41:04,963
I have nothing to tell.

593
00:41:10,135 --> 00:41:12,846
- Does your head not hurt?
- No.

594
00:41:12,929 --> 00:41:14,472
I can't feel it. Sorry, I'm...

595
00:41:14,556 --> 00:41:16,474
I didn't mean to...

596
00:41:18,185 --> 00:41:19,477
What happened to you,

597
00:41:19,561 --> 00:41:21,563
I didn't mean
to make light of it.

598
00:41:31,156 --> 00:41:33,200
It will heal.

599
00:41:34,492 --> 00:41:36,578
You won't have a scar.

600
00:41:40,373 --> 00:41:42,292
At this height?

601
00:41:42,375 --> 00:41:43,710
Look.

602
00:41:58,433 --> 00:42:00,477
Look.

603
00:42:06,733 --> 00:42:08,902
He was right.

604
00:42:08,985 --> 00:42:11,488
The fool was right.

605
00:42:11,571 --> 00:42:14,324
Of all the amazing things.

606
00:42:14,407 --> 00:42:18,119
My friend John... John Trew...
he made a study of them.

607
00:42:18,203 --> 00:42:20,080
So, he theorized,
beyond the birds,

608
00:42:20,163 --> 00:42:22,123
an air current
on which only insects travel,

609
00:42:22,207 --> 00:42:23,792
and I never believed him.

610
00:42:23,875 --> 00:42:26,878
And I certainly never thought
that we would prove him right.

611
00:42:30,966 --> 00:42:32,717
Careful.

612
00:42:34,761 --> 00:42:36,513
Oh.

613
00:42:36,596 --> 00:42:38,515
There she goes.

614
00:42:44,771 --> 00:42:47,357
Where are they heading,
do you think?

615
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,652
Perhaps they trust
the wind to decide.

616
00:43:05,125 --> 00:43:07,127
He'd have liked these.

617
00:43:07,210 --> 00:43:09,087
Pierre.

618
00:43:16,511 --> 00:43:18,972
My husband was...

619
00:43:19,055 --> 00:43:21,141
the bravest man I knew.

620
00:43:23,601 --> 00:43:26,354
He saw possibilities
others could not, but...

621
00:43:27,939 --> 00:43:31,067
...his most enduring quality
was a deep...

622
00:43:33,153 --> 00:43:36,114
and true love
for the beauty of the world.

623
00:44:01,806 --> 00:44:02,932
Thank you.

624
00:44:06,394 --> 00:44:08,855
Others would have
pushed me further.

625
00:44:08,938 --> 00:44:12,525
Thank you... for not.

626
00:44:14,402 --> 00:44:17,405
I cannot quantify
what you've lost.

627
00:44:19,574 --> 00:44:20,575
No.

628
00:44:22,327 --> 00:44:24,371
You can't.

629
00:44:37,258 --> 00:44:40,095
Return to your instruments,
Mr. Glaisher.

630
00:44:52,107 --> 00:44:54,859
I said return
to your instruments.

631
00:44:59,364 --> 00:45:00,990
I shall.

632
00:46:04,512 --> 00:46:06,097
Is she lost?

633
00:46:06,181 --> 00:46:08,141
Wren, isn't it?

634
00:46:08,224 --> 00:46:10,101
Amelia Wren?

635
00:46:11,603 --> 00:46:14,063
I'm looking for James Glaisher.

636
00:46:14,147 --> 00:46:16,399
You're very welcome
to wait outside

637
00:46:16,483 --> 00:46:18,568
while we fetch him to you.

638
00:46:18,651 --> 00:46:21,779
You see, we have a policy
toward the fairer sex...

639
00:46:21,863 --> 00:46:23,740
Then I'll find him myself.

640
00:46:23,823 --> 00:46:25,617
Lovely to see you again,
Charles.

641
00:46:30,413 --> 00:46:31,956
Time, Johnny?

642
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,584
17 seconds.

643
00:46:34,667 --> 00:46:36,794
Come on, James.
Imagine you're hurtling

644
00:46:36,878 --> 00:46:38,046
towards the ground.

645
00:46:38,129 --> 00:46:40,298
Hurry, man. Your equipment's
gonna be destroyed.

646
00:46:40,381 --> 00:46:41,549
Yep.

647
00:46:41,633 --> 00:46:43,593
26 seconds. Well done.

648
00:46:43,676 --> 00:46:46,304
And you said
I couldn't break 30.

649
00:46:47,347 --> 00:46:49,682
- My senses deserted me.
- Miss Wren.

650
00:46:49,766 --> 00:46:50,892
- This is an honor.
- I do not wish to abandon you...

651
00:46:50,975 --> 00:46:53,895
- May I give you a tour?
- ...but I'm afraid I must.

652
00:46:55,522 --> 00:46:57,232
Abandon me?

653
00:47:01,861 --> 00:47:04,656
The build is already under way.

654
00:47:04,739 --> 00:47:06,658
The largest balloon
ever on order.

655
00:47:06,741 --> 00:47:08,910
I don't want to climb inside
the balloon, Mr. Glaisher.

656
00:47:08,993 --> 00:47:12,372
I don't want to climb
into a balloon ever again.

657
00:47:17,794 --> 00:47:19,921
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

658
00:47:20,004 --> 00:47:21,756
No, no, no,
that is not acceptable.

659
00:47:21,839 --> 00:47:25,218
A vast amount of money
has already been spent.

660
00:47:25,301 --> 00:47:27,178
I'm sorry, sir.

661
00:47:28,471 --> 00:47:30,640
I have made my decision.

662
00:47:50,451 --> 00:47:51,953
Evening, Ma.

663
00:47:52,036 --> 00:47:54,163
The wanderer returns.

664
00:47:55,498 --> 00:47:58,001
- You were due last week.
- Yes, I know I was.

665
00:47:58,084 --> 00:48:00,920
Sorry. I've been, uh...
I've been having some...

666
00:48:01,004 --> 00:48:05,675
Yes, we've been reading all
about you in the newspapers.

667
00:48:08,052 --> 00:48:11,055
Of all the people, James.

668
00:48:11,139 --> 00:48:14,934
Women don't belong
in balloons, on show.

669
00:48:15,018 --> 00:48:18,563
And she makes
such a show of herself.

670
00:48:18,646 --> 00:48:20,898
Your reputation risks ruin.

671
00:48:20,982 --> 00:48:22,525
Well, you'll be pleased
to hear, Ma,

672
00:48:22,609 --> 00:48:24,694
that the expedition's off.

673
00:48:24,777 --> 00:48:28,072
It was Miss Wren who wouldn't
risk flight with me.

674
00:48:28,156 --> 00:48:29,574
Is he upstairs?

675
00:48:29,657 --> 00:48:33,661
James, his mind's been
playing tricks on him again.

676
00:48:33,745 --> 00:48:35,288
It's got worse?

677
00:48:35,371 --> 00:48:37,248
It comes and goes.

678
00:48:37,332 --> 00:48:39,417
Tread carefully with him.

679
00:48:43,921 --> 00:48:45,381
Hard at it?

680
00:48:45,465 --> 00:48:48,968
- Ethel! Ethel!
- Oh, Pa, Pa, it's me.

681
00:48:49,052 --> 00:48:51,095
- It's James.
- Ethel!

682
00:48:51,179 --> 00:48:53,681
Listen, Ma knows I'm here.
It's James.

683
00:48:53,765 --> 00:48:55,141
I'm your son.

684
00:48:55,224 --> 00:48:58,019
You're...
M-My son's only ten years old.

685
00:48:58,102 --> 00:49:00,146
I got older.

686
00:49:02,857 --> 00:49:05,818
Now, what have you been... what
have you been looking at here?

687
00:49:05,902 --> 00:49:08,404
Oh, get away from that.

688
00:49:10,031 --> 00:49:13,034
Pallas?
You've been looking at Pallas?

689
00:49:16,454 --> 00:49:18,539
Course I'm looking at Pallas.

690
00:49:19,749 --> 00:49:21,584
Good spotting.

691
00:49:24,295 --> 00:49:25,838
- Here.
- Do not pretend

692
00:49:25,922 --> 00:49:27,632
that you can see anything
through those.

693
00:49:27,715 --> 00:49:32,387
These are the glasses I taught
you to stargaze through.

694
00:49:32,470 --> 00:49:35,515
They're quite sufficient
for some work.

695
00:49:38,434 --> 00:49:40,228
Your trip.

696
00:49:41,187 --> 00:49:43,523
You're going on a trip.

697
00:49:43,606 --> 00:49:45,566
In a balloon.

698
00:49:46,943 --> 00:49:48,736
Yes, I'm trying to, Pa.

699
00:49:48,820 --> 00:49:50,488
Yeah.

700
00:49:50,571 --> 00:49:52,365
To see the stars.

701
00:49:52,448 --> 00:49:54,409
I hope so.

702
00:49:54,492 --> 00:49:57,620
I used to dream
of taking my bedsheet,

703
00:49:57,704 --> 00:49:59,997
catching a gust of wind

704
00:50:00,081 --> 00:50:03,334
and dancing in a parachute
among the stars.

705
00:50:03,418 --> 00:50:05,420
I know you did. You told me.

706
00:50:05,503 --> 00:50:07,880
Mm. Nothing...

707
00:50:07,964 --> 00:50:12,719
nothing m-more mysterious,
nor more beautiful,

708
00:50:12,802 --> 00:50:15,304
than the stars in the sky.

709
00:50:26,482 --> 00:50:28,317
Mm.

710
00:50:30,194 --> 00:50:33,281
Wh-What are you doing in here?

711
00:50:33,364 --> 00:50:35,616
Y-You know the rules.

712
00:50:35,700 --> 00:50:37,785
Not in my room.

713
00:50:37,869 --> 00:50:40,580
- I-I...
- And keep away from that spyglass.

714
00:50:40,663 --> 00:50:42,165
It's very valuable, James.

715
00:50:42,248 --> 00:50:44,709
I know it is, Pa.
I bought it for you.

716
00:50:44,792 --> 00:50:46,335
- He's tired.
- Oh.

717
00:50:46,419 --> 00:50:47,879
Probably best
not to overdo it.

718
00:50:47,962 --> 00:50:49,839
Thank you, Ethel.
Get this lad out of here.

719
00:50:49,922 --> 00:50:51,007
Yes, dear.

720
00:50:51,090 --> 00:50:52,884
Leave it while you're
still on the up.

721
00:50:54,093 --> 00:50:57,388
Good night. I will, um...

722
00:50:57,472 --> 00:50:59,056
I'll see you next week.

723
00:51:03,060 --> 00:51:04,437
James.

724
00:51:07,774 --> 00:51:09,650
For your trip.

725
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:19,285
Thank you.

726
00:51:21,204 --> 00:51:23,289
Prove them wrong, James.

727
00:51:26,167 --> 00:51:27,919
Next week.

728
00:51:34,634 --> 00:51:36,052
Mm.

729
00:51:37,053 --> 00:51:39,180
Mr. Green?

730
00:51:39,263 --> 00:51:41,390
Mr. Green, sir? Sir.

731
00:51:41,474 --> 00:51:44,143
If it isn't Mr. Glaisher,
the weather sleuth.

732
00:51:44,227 --> 00:51:45,978
I believe he prefers
to be described

733
00:51:46,062 --> 00:51:47,396
as a meteorologist, Charles.

734
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:49,899
Of course he does.
Well, best of luck with it.

735
00:51:49,982 --> 00:51:51,275
As I'm sure you're aware, sir,

736
00:51:51,359 --> 00:51:52,985
I've not been able
to attract the funds,

737
00:51:53,069 --> 00:51:54,654
either from the Royal Society
or elsewhere,

738
00:51:54,737 --> 00:51:55,988
that I need to fly.

739
00:51:56,072 --> 00:51:57,406
It is an expensive
preoccupation.

740
00:51:57,490 --> 00:51:58,741
I've heard that you're looking

741
00:51:58,825 --> 00:52:00,326
- to make another balloon ascent.
- I am.

742
00:52:00,409 --> 00:52:02,787
Well, I would like the
opportunity to be your second.

743
00:52:02,870 --> 00:52:04,372
I will prove
a willing accomplice, sir.

744
00:52:04,455 --> 00:52:06,791
I have also strong ideas
as to how to increase

745
00:52:06,874 --> 00:52:08,417
the hydrogen levels
in the coal gas

746
00:52:08,501 --> 00:52:10,336
that I believe might be
your unlocking,

747
00:52:10,419 --> 00:52:12,797
and you might finally be able
to break that height record.

748
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:14,465
Have you even been
in a balloon?

749
00:52:14,549 --> 00:52:16,759
I've studied them extensively.

750
00:52:16,843 --> 00:52:20,263
Do you have any experience
of frostbite, low air pressure,

751
00:52:20,346 --> 00:52:23,057
the mind-altering effects of
a lack of oxygen to the brain?

752
00:52:23,140 --> 00:52:25,685
How else does one learn
but by partaking?

753
00:52:25,768 --> 00:52:28,896
Exactly what I need
in a second: a theorist

754
00:52:28,980 --> 00:52:31,983
with no ideas about
the true dangers of the air.

755
00:52:32,066 --> 00:52:34,569
Find another madman
to get in a balloon with.

756
00:52:34,652 --> 00:52:36,737
Uh, perhaps the French.

757
00:52:37,947 --> 00:52:40,616
Or, better yet, that woman.

758
00:52:40,700 --> 00:52:42,368
Good day.

759
00:52:53,629 --> 00:52:55,965
22,200.

760
00:52:56,048 --> 00:52:58,050
Do you have faith
in these thermometers?

761
00:52:58,134 --> 00:52:59,719
22,400.

762
00:52:59,802 --> 00:53:04,181
If so, we're at 21 degrees,
and that is cold.

763
00:53:04,265 --> 00:53:07,894
22,500. Well, you can note
that temperature down.

764
00:53:10,354 --> 00:53:12,732
Hmm. You trust me
to write in your book?

765
00:53:12,815 --> 00:53:14,901
I am honored.

766
00:53:20,573 --> 00:53:23,117
Have we slowed?
Are we not at 22,600?

767
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:25,578
Oh, so you are interested.

768
00:53:25,661 --> 00:53:27,538
And now we've passed 22,600.

769
00:53:27,622 --> 00:53:30,499
- You're insufferable.
- You are excited.

770
00:53:32,418 --> 00:53:36,839
And that is 22,700.

771
00:53:39,634 --> 00:53:43,387
- History will be rewritten.
- 22,900.

772
00:53:47,183 --> 00:53:49,268
23,000.

773
00:53:53,022 --> 00:53:55,107
We are now higher

774
00:53:55,191 --> 00:53:59,111
than any man or any woman

775
00:53:59,195 --> 00:54:01,405
has ever been.

776
00:54:37,316 --> 00:54:39,860
Thank you for taking me up
in your balloon, Mr. Glaisher.

777
00:54:39,944 --> 00:54:43,114
Thank you for taking me up
in your balloon, Miss Wren.

778
00:54:53,541 --> 00:54:55,584
It doesn't feel different
at all, does it?

779
00:54:55,668 --> 00:54:57,920
On the contrary.

780
00:54:58,004 --> 00:54:59,463
This is the moment that

781
00:54:59,547 --> 00:55:02,091
I've been waiting for
my entire life.

782
00:55:04,051 --> 00:55:07,221
I rather suspect
I've been waiting for it, too.

783
00:55:14,061 --> 00:55:16,605
Right. Now...

784
00:55:24,822 --> 00:55:27,700
You still think
we might not make it back?

785
00:55:27,783 --> 00:55:30,786
I'm just sending a message
to Charles Green.

786
00:55:38,794 --> 00:55:41,047
23,900 feet.

787
00:55:41,130 --> 00:55:43,382
We're rising
even more quickly now.

788
00:55:43,466 --> 00:55:44,925
Did you know? Could you tell?

789
00:55:45,009 --> 00:55:47,303
It's because the air's thinner.

790
00:55:47,386 --> 00:55:49,180
She's expanding.

791
00:55:49,263 --> 00:55:50,473
We should think of slowing.

792
00:55:50,556 --> 00:55:52,850
So, the air is
aiding our ascent.

793
00:55:52,933 --> 00:55:54,518
Isn't that outstanding?

794
00:55:54,602 --> 00:55:56,854
Surely, now is the time
to put your oilskins on.

795
00:55:56,937 --> 00:55:59,315
Didn't bring any oilskins.
They proved extremely heavy.

796
00:55:59,398 --> 00:56:00,816
I told you
that you needed oilskins.

797
00:56:00,900 --> 00:56:02,902
Well, the equipment
was essential.

798
00:56:02,985 --> 00:56:03,986
The weight limit was essential.

799
00:56:04,070 --> 00:56:05,446
If I'm to get a little sick
returning...

800
00:56:05,529 --> 00:56:07,031
A little sick?
You-you carry four thermometers,

801
00:56:07,114 --> 00:56:08,115
you carry this strange box,

802
00:56:08,199 --> 00:56:09,575
but you-you couldn't bring
suitable clothing

803
00:56:09,658 --> 00:56:11,285
- for the cold and the wet?
- Keep moving.

804
00:56:11,368 --> 00:56:13,329
Don't stop. The cold will only
catch you if you let it.

805
00:56:13,412 --> 00:56:15,289
We need to go down now.

806
00:56:15,372 --> 00:56:17,917
Wait. No, no, we're not
descending. Not yet.

807
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:19,710
The best way to break a storm
is to travel up.

808
00:56:19,794 --> 00:56:21,545
I quote you, dear lady.
Well, maybe the best way

809
00:56:21,629 --> 00:56:23,255
to break a cold is also
to travel up.

810
00:56:23,339 --> 00:56:24,965
And which science
are you basing that upon?

811
00:56:25,049 --> 00:56:27,134
The science that says,
with every layer of air,

812
00:56:27,218 --> 00:56:28,928
we are traveling
into an unknown.

813
00:56:29,011 --> 00:56:30,429
So, with every layer of air,
we are traveling

814
00:56:30,513 --> 00:56:32,723
- closer to the sun.
- I believe we have already accomplished...

815
00:56:32,807 --> 00:56:34,600
So these findings
that I am still to discover,

816
00:56:34,683 --> 00:56:36,602
- they could be overwhelming.
- You are freezing.

817
00:56:36,685 --> 00:56:38,354
- Please. What have we to lose?
- Our lives.

818
00:56:38,437 --> 00:56:40,940
This could be more important
than our lives!

819
00:56:45,236 --> 00:56:48,572
Please. I know that you
want this as much as I do.

820
00:56:52,284 --> 00:56:54,370
I'm descending.

821
00:56:56,288 --> 00:56:57,873
Stop.

822
00:56:57,957 --> 00:56:59,208
No.

823
00:56:59,291 --> 00:57:00,835
So, this balloon has defied

824
00:57:00,918 --> 00:57:02,837
every single thing
that we have thrown at it.

825
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:05,089
This is not about the balloon.

826
00:57:05,172 --> 00:57:07,174
This is not about science.

827
00:57:07,258 --> 00:57:10,261
This is about your war with
those who lord it over you.

828
00:57:10,344 --> 00:57:11,720
And I have fought them, too.

829
00:57:11,804 --> 00:57:13,055
- This is, this is not...
- I...

830
00:57:13,139 --> 00:57:14,390
This is, this is about that.

831
00:57:15,850 --> 00:57:17,643
Look at it.

832
00:57:19,645 --> 00:57:22,523
There's nothing more beautiful,

833
00:57:22,606 --> 00:57:25,568
nor more mysterious,
than the stars in the sky.

834
00:57:25,651 --> 00:57:27,528
And look at us.

835
00:57:29,113 --> 00:57:31,615
We are dancing amongst them.

836
00:57:46,964 --> 00:57:50,134
You wanted that writing
on the balloon, Amelia.

837
00:57:50,217 --> 00:57:51,927
"Caelum certe...

838
00:57:52,011 --> 00:57:55,014
- patet, ibimus illi."
- "Patet, ibimus illi."

839
00:57:56,515 --> 00:58:00,811
"Surely, the sky lies open.

840
00:58:00,895 --> 00:58:02,563
Let us go that way."

841
00:58:02,646 --> 00:58:04,106
The sky is open.

842
00:58:05,274 --> 00:58:06,984
It is open.

843
00:58:09,111 --> 00:58:11,906
Now, you understand

844
00:58:11,989 --> 00:58:13,908
there will come a time
when we go no further?

845
00:58:13,991 --> 00:58:15,451
Yes, I do.

846
00:58:16,744 --> 00:58:19,163
Do you understand

847
00:58:19,246 --> 00:58:22,249
that decision
will only be mine?

848
00:58:23,459 --> 00:58:25,127
Yes, I do.

849
00:58:47,733 --> 00:58:49,360
Thank you.

850
00:58:49,443 --> 00:58:52,112
Tell me when we land
if I deserve your thanks.

851
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:56,325
You deserve my thanks.

852
00:59:10,714 --> 00:59:12,383
Good evening, Miss Wren.

853
00:59:14,134 --> 00:59:15,803
I've made my decision,
Mr. Trew.

854
00:59:15,886 --> 00:59:19,473
And I understand that. I just
wanted to gift you this book.

855
00:59:30,693 --> 00:59:32,111
These are beautiful.

856
00:59:32,194 --> 00:59:34,154
They're pictures
of snowflake formations.

857
00:59:34,238 --> 00:59:37,241
A study of the mathematical
possibilities of nature,

858
00:59:37,324 --> 00:59:39,201
a study undertaken by James...

859
00:59:39,285 --> 00:59:40,577
James Glaisher.

860
00:59:41,954 --> 00:59:43,956
He believes
the sky can be understood.

861
00:59:44,039 --> 00:59:46,709
Of this I am well aware.

862
00:59:46,792 --> 00:59:48,460
He is, sadly,
occasionally wrong.

863
00:59:48,544 --> 00:59:50,921
He predicted it would snow
tonight, would you believe.

864
00:59:51,005 --> 00:59:55,968
But more often than not,
he finds remarkable truths.

865
00:59:56,051 --> 00:59:58,345
Travel with him,
and you will discover this.

866
00:59:58,429 --> 00:59:59,763
- I have.
- I'm sorry.

867
00:59:59,847 --> 01:00:01,598
I... I-I clearly told him no.

868
01:00:01,682 --> 01:00:03,642
He should not have sent you
to convince me.

869
01:00:03,726 --> 01:00:04,768
He didn't send me.

870
01:00:04,852 --> 01:00:06,353
He'd consider me
a poor persuader.

871
01:00:06,437 --> 01:00:08,981
- I'm here on my own account.
- You will not dissuade me

872
01:00:09,064 --> 01:00:10,441
- from my path, Mr. Trew.
- James believes

873
01:00:10,524 --> 01:00:12,568
there's something
extraordinary up there.

874
01:00:12,651 --> 01:00:14,445
And so this is an opportunity
I should not miss?

875
01:00:14,528 --> 01:00:15,529
You misunderstand me.

876
01:00:15,612 --> 01:00:18,115
It's not an opportunity
but an obligation.

877
01:00:18,198 --> 01:00:22,786
In this life, few are given
the chance to change the world.

878
01:00:22,870 --> 01:00:26,081
You've been assigned
a responsibility, Miss Wren.

879
01:00:28,042 --> 01:00:30,294
You have to meet it.

880
01:00:36,091 --> 01:00:37,760
Enjoy the book, madam.

881
01:02:18,902 --> 01:02:21,196
- Height?
- Height, height.

882
01:02:22,739 --> 01:02:25,868
- Mm.
- 26,500 feet.

883
01:02:25,951 --> 01:02:27,953
26... And temperature?

884
01:02:28,036 --> 01:02:30,831
And temperature...

885
01:02:30,914 --> 01:02:32,875
- five degrees Fahrenheit.
- Five.

886
01:02:39,131 --> 01:02:41,633
It's the strangest thing.

887
01:02:41,717 --> 01:02:46,096
So, the higher that we fly,
the lower the humidity.

888
01:02:47,431 --> 01:02:50,934
There's barely any
water vapor here at all.

889
01:02:51,018 --> 01:02:53,854
There is still ice.

890
01:02:55,606 --> 01:02:58,442
These temperatures,
they're unprecedented.

891
01:02:58,525 --> 01:03:01,153
These are freezing ranges that
no one would have predicted.

892
01:03:01,236 --> 01:03:02,613
Yeah.

893
01:03:02,696 --> 01:03:04,448
And what was that temperature?

894
01:03:04,531 --> 01:03:06,116
Um, five degrees.

895
01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:08,035
Five...

896
01:03:13,207 --> 01:03:14,875
Oh, come on.

897
01:03:18,337 --> 01:03:19,755
Right.

898
01:03:22,090 --> 01:03:24,676
Out you come.

899
01:03:36,522 --> 01:03:38,315
No concern necessary.

900
01:03:38,398 --> 01:03:41,360
We have another.

901
01:03:41,443 --> 01:03:43,529
We don't have another.

902
01:03:46,782 --> 01:03:48,325
What are you doing?

903
01:03:48,408 --> 01:03:50,035
- Losing weight.
- L-Losing weight?

904
01:03:50,118 --> 01:03:52,287
A mere consequence of
the decrease in air pressure.

905
01:03:52,371 --> 01:03:53,455
This-this balloon
isn't safe, James.

906
01:03:53,539 --> 01:03:54,831
And much more severe
than I'd anticipated.

907
01:03:54,915 --> 01:03:56,542
James, the-the pressure
on the material could lead

908
01:03:56,625 --> 01:03:58,961
- to rips, and at...
- The coal gas has expanded, and...

909
01:03:59,044 --> 01:04:00,879
...this altitude, these-these
rips could definitely be fatal.

910
01:04:00,963 --> 01:04:02,130
What are you doing?!

911
01:04:02,214 --> 01:04:03,590
We can't lose more weight!

912
01:04:07,094 --> 01:04:08,428
No!

913
01:04:08,512 --> 01:04:10,264
Give me the sandbag!

914
01:04:10,347 --> 01:04:12,307
It is time we descend.

915
01:04:12,391 --> 01:04:13,684
I will not stop

916
01:04:13,767 --> 01:04:15,811
because you can't withstand
a little pressure.

917
01:04:17,354 --> 01:04:19,231
Don't you see what's happening?

918
01:04:30,617 --> 01:04:34,371
James, the lack of oxygen
is affecting your brain.

919
01:04:34,454 --> 01:04:37,040
We're going to die
unless we descend now.

920
01:04:37,124 --> 01:04:40,544
Your husband risked your life
for his own recklessness.

921
01:04:40,627 --> 01:04:42,462
I do the same, but for science.

922
01:04:42,546 --> 01:04:45,382
You know nothing of my husband's death.

923
01:04:48,385 --> 01:04:52,097
It is well known that he pushed
harder than he should have.

924
01:04:53,682 --> 01:04:58,103
Now imagine that story again,

925
01:04:58,186 --> 01:05:02,441
and imagine this time
that I am the pilot...

926
01:05:04,735 --> 01:05:08,113
...that h-he told me to stop,

927
01:05:08,196 --> 01:05:10,741
that I-I was risking
the balloon.

928
01:05:10,824 --> 01:05:12,701
How bad is the tear?!

929
01:05:18,457 --> 01:05:22,002
The seams ripped apart.

930
01:05:24,796 --> 01:05:28,800
I... I fought...

931
01:05:28,884 --> 01:05:32,471
too hard for my place
at the table.

932
01:05:32,554 --> 01:05:34,139
We're falling too fast.

933
01:05:34,222 --> 01:05:36,308
We're going to die here!

934
01:05:36,391 --> 01:05:38,268
We need to lose more weight!

935
01:05:43,106 --> 01:05:45,359
Come on. There must be
something. Think. Think.

936
01:05:45,442 --> 01:05:47,152
- Yes. Yes.
- Think.

937
01:05:53,575 --> 01:05:56,787
Thank you for giving me
somewhere I belonged.

938
01:05:56,870 --> 01:05:58,080
Keep looking up.

939
01:05:58,163 --> 01:06:00,624
No! Pierre! No!

940
01:06:12,886 --> 01:06:14,971
Amelia.

941
01:06:16,973 --> 01:06:18,767
I'm so sorry.

942
01:06:20,894 --> 01:06:23,397
Do not...

943
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:26,525
be responsible...

944
01:06:26,608 --> 01:06:28,860
for the death of another.

945
01:06:30,821 --> 01:06:32,614
It's one mistake

946
01:06:32,698 --> 01:06:35,450
you'll never
forgive yourself for.

947
01:06:37,828 --> 01:06:39,871
I'm so sorry.

948
01:06:44,292 --> 01:06:46,586
Really, I am.

949
01:06:46,670 --> 01:06:48,171
Now...

950
01:06:49,881 --> 01:06:52,175
...let's get this balloon down.

951
01:06:54,136 --> 01:06:55,721
Yes.

952
01:07:05,105 --> 01:07:06,898
I think...

953
01:07:09,818 --> 01:07:12,237
I-I think we've...

954
01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:14,781
discovered that oxygen is...

955
01:07:26,334 --> 01:07:28,462
Open, damn it.

956
01:07:28,545 --> 01:07:30,839
Open.

957
01:07:40,932 --> 01:07:43,351
Come on!

958
01:07:48,356 --> 01:07:49,566
Come on!

959
01:07:51,777 --> 01:07:54,154
Come on!

960
01:08:02,621 --> 01:08:04,498
James. James.

961
01:08:04,581 --> 01:08:06,792
- You have to keep moving.
- Yes.

962
01:08:06,875 --> 01:08:08,877
You... If you lay still,

963
01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:11,546
then-then the hypoxia
will set in.

964
01:08:12,672 --> 01:08:14,591
The gas release valve
is frozen.

965
01:08:14,674 --> 01:08:18,136
I... I need to climb up
and open it.

966
01:08:19,930 --> 01:08:22,015
Stay alive.

967
01:08:22,098 --> 01:08:24,810
Stay alive.

968
01:08:26,144 --> 01:08:28,355
Stay alive.

969
01:10:14,878 --> 01:10:17,881
Amelia. Amelia.

970
01:10:17,964 --> 01:10:19,466
Regarde-moi.

971
01:10:22,969 --> 01:10:24,512
Thank you...

972
01:10:26,806 --> 01:10:29,309
...for giving me
somewhere I belonged.

973
01:15:32,195 --> 01:15:35,281
- Should we have heard anything by now?
- No.

974
01:15:35,365 --> 01:15:38,368
We'll only hear
if there's a disaster.

975
01:15:38,451 --> 01:15:41,204
The less we hear, the...

976
01:15:41,287 --> 01:15:43,373
better her chances.

977
01:15:45,250 --> 01:15:47,710
- Then we pray for silence?
- Yes.

978
01:15:47,794 --> 01:15:49,837
Pray for silence.

979
01:16:08,356 --> 01:16:10,233
Still no sign of them.

980
01:16:37,468 --> 01:16:39,178
Oh, God.

981
01:16:47,812 --> 01:16:49,480
James!

982
01:16:53,151 --> 01:16:55,028
Come on.

983
01:16:55,111 --> 01:16:56,446
Oh, God.

984
01:16:59,115 --> 01:17:01,826
Come on. James!

985
01:17:01,909 --> 01:17:04,120
Come on.

986
01:17:07,206 --> 01:17:08,875
Come on.

987
01:17:26,893 --> 01:17:28,394
Come on.

988
01:18:14,732 --> 01:18:16,150
James.

989
01:18:17,652 --> 01:18:20,696
James. James.

990
01:18:20,780 --> 01:18:22,281
James.

991
01:18:23,449 --> 01:18:25,201
James.

992
01:18:26,119 --> 01:18:28,204
James, we've survived.

993
01:18:30,248 --> 01:18:32,250
We're going down.

994
01:18:32,333 --> 01:18:33,918
James.

995
01:18:34,001 --> 01:18:35,711
James, James.

996
01:18:35,795 --> 01:18:36,796
James.

997
01:18:40,466 --> 01:18:42,176
James?

998
01:18:51,310 --> 01:18:53,396
We're going down.

999
01:18:56,524 --> 01:18:59,235
I can't have this happen again.

1000
01:19:05,700 --> 01:19:07,535
James.

1001
01:19:21,757 --> 01:19:24,135
Your strange two-tube device

1002
01:19:24,218 --> 01:19:27,388
is doing something
very peculiar, you know.

1003
01:19:27,472 --> 01:19:30,808
You're meaning my hygrometer.

1004
01:19:33,394 --> 01:19:34,937
It's bubbling.

1005
01:19:35,021 --> 01:19:37,523
Could that not be significant?

1006
01:19:37,607 --> 01:19:39,400
It could.

1007
01:19:46,616 --> 01:19:48,242
We're descending.

1008
01:19:50,203 --> 01:19:51,621
We are.

1009
01:19:53,539 --> 01:19:56,501
I've been... insensible.

1010
01:19:56,584 --> 01:19:58,503
You have.

1011
01:19:58,586 --> 01:20:02,381
And I think I lost my head.

1012
01:20:04,008 --> 01:20:06,093
It does seem that way.

1013
01:20:11,599 --> 01:20:14,185
Well, come on, then.

1014
01:20:29,825 --> 01:20:32,245
Time: one hour,

1015
01:20:32,328 --> 01:20:34,872
11 minutes and 19 seconds.

1016
01:20:34,956 --> 01:20:36,916
Height?

1017
01:20:40,044 --> 01:20:43,381
28,600 feet.

1018
01:20:43,464 --> 01:20:47,552
And temperature?

1019
01:20:47,635 --> 01:20:49,262
Unknown.

1020
01:20:49,345 --> 01:20:51,931
That equipment's
been lost to us.

1021
01:20:52,014 --> 01:20:55,268
And my hygrometer's had better days.

1022
01:20:57,311 --> 01:20:59,480
This is of
no great use, either.

1023
01:21:01,315 --> 01:21:04,944
Our readings on the descent
shall be less significant.

1024
01:21:06,946 --> 01:21:08,364
Oh, your hands.

1025
01:21:15,162 --> 01:21:18,749
So, you didn't have room for
oils, but you did for brandy?

1026
01:21:18,833 --> 01:21:21,919
Well, a scientist is nothing
without his equipment.

1027
01:21:22,003 --> 01:21:23,921
Hold out your hands.

1028
01:21:24,005 --> 01:21:25,673
What are you gonna do?

1029
01:21:25,756 --> 01:21:27,008
This is gonna hurt a bit.

1030
01:21:27,091 --> 01:21:29,302
I'm sorry,
but you need to hold them out.

1031
01:21:31,345 --> 01:21:34,015
I know.

1032
01:21:34,098 --> 01:21:36,767
That hurt.

1033
01:21:36,851 --> 01:21:40,563
- Is that, uh, any better?
- No.

1034
01:21:40,646 --> 01:21:41,897
Worse.

1035
01:21:44,525 --> 01:21:49,196
I don't know
what you did for me up there,

1036
01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:53,659
but I have no doubt
that it was a great act.

1037
01:22:02,668 --> 01:22:05,254
- Your poor hands.
- Look.

1038
01:22:05,338 --> 01:22:07,423
And now snow.

1039
01:22:07,506 --> 01:22:08,507
Oh.

1040
01:22:08,591 --> 01:22:11,344
As if we haven't had enough.

1041
01:22:11,427 --> 01:22:13,304
It'll pass.

1042
01:22:22,438 --> 01:22:25,650
It's possibly interesting
to analyze the melt water.

1043
01:23:37,346 --> 01:23:39,014
My sister wanted to know

1044
01:23:39,098 --> 01:23:41,600
why I would ever
go up in a balloon again.

1045
01:23:43,436 --> 01:23:46,939
I think it was because
I wanted...

1046
01:23:47,022 --> 01:23:52,027
all that I knew,
all that he taught me...

1047
01:23:53,821 --> 01:23:58,576
...all that I've lost
to be for something.

1048
01:24:06,917 --> 01:24:08,836
Well...

1049
01:24:10,379 --> 01:24:12,465
I need to make sense
of all of this

1050
01:24:12,548 --> 01:24:14,425
before I can work out
quite what we've achieved,

1051
01:24:14,508 --> 01:24:16,093
but it, uh...

1052
01:24:16,177 --> 01:24:18,554
it seems that the atmosphere
has levels to it.

1053
01:24:18,637 --> 01:24:21,515
- That's-that's not what I mean.
- It has patterns within it.

1054
01:24:27,980 --> 01:24:31,609
Newton said that we build
too many walls

1055
01:24:31,692 --> 01:24:34,236
- and not enough bridges.
- I don't want to hear from Newton.

1056
01:24:36,530 --> 01:24:38,532
I want to hear from you.

1057
01:24:48,542 --> 01:24:52,213
All my life,
I've found comfort in science.

1058
01:24:54,590 --> 01:24:59,553
It helps give meaning to the
many things we can't control.

1059
01:24:59,637 --> 01:25:03,849
It brings a degree of order
to the...

1060
01:25:03,933 --> 01:25:06,268
chaos that surrounds us.

1061
01:25:09,438 --> 01:25:13,317
But whilst we may be able
to explain the science

1062
01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:18,531
behind an aureole
or the falling snow...

1063
01:25:21,450 --> 01:25:25,079
...it's not possible
to account for its beauty.

1064
01:25:29,667 --> 01:25:32,294
Together...

1065
01:25:32,378 --> 01:25:34,964
we've brought
the stars closer.

1066
01:25:38,008 --> 01:25:40,553
We have brought
the stars closer.

1067
01:25:59,780 --> 01:26:02,616
Do you notice something
about the snow?

1068
01:26:07,872 --> 01:26:10,583
It's not falling.

1069
01:26:10,666 --> 01:26:13,085
It's hovering.

1070
01:26:14,795 --> 01:26:16,213
It's static.

1071
01:26:16,297 --> 01:26:18,591
Strange. What might be...

1072
01:26:18,674 --> 01:26:21,594
We might, if we were traveling
at the same speed as it.

1073
01:26:21,677 --> 01:26:23,095
The same speed as snow?

1074
01:26:23,178 --> 01:26:24,555
The gas, it's still escaping.

1075
01:26:24,638 --> 01:26:26,390
Combined with the decrease
in pressure, it means...

1076
01:26:26,473 --> 01:26:27,558
That the balloon's collapsing.

1077
01:26:27,641 --> 01:26:29,059
Quick, help me!

1078
01:26:30,644 --> 01:26:31,645
Pull!

1079
01:26:31,729 --> 01:26:33,606
Pull!

1080
01:26:35,232 --> 01:26:36,984
- What on earth was that?
- My shoe.

1081
01:26:38,986 --> 01:26:40,654
Probably best
not to question it.

1082
01:26:40,738 --> 01:26:43,073
But if your shoe was up there,
that means that...

1083
01:26:43,157 --> 01:26:44,742
Maybe we save the thanks
for later.

1084
01:26:44,825 --> 01:26:46,368
We need to lose weight.

1085
01:26:46,452 --> 01:26:48,329
A lot of weight. Now!

1086
01:26:55,878 --> 01:26:57,463
Come on.

1087
01:26:57,546 --> 01:26:59,048
The chest! The chest!

1088
01:26:59,131 --> 01:27:00,549
I'll do it.

1089
01:27:00,633 --> 01:27:02,593
One, two.

1090
01:27:22,780 --> 01:27:24,531
We should lose our jackets.

1091
01:27:24,615 --> 01:27:26,033
My hands.

1092
01:27:26,116 --> 01:27:27,117
Help me.

1093
01:27:27,201 --> 01:27:29,203
Yeah. I'll do it.

1094
01:27:31,246 --> 01:27:32,623
Come on!

1095
01:27:35,542 --> 01:27:36,752
It's not working, Amelia!

1096
01:27:36,835 --> 01:27:38,545
It's not working!

1097
01:27:44,635 --> 01:27:46,512
Climb into the hoop.

1098
01:27:46,595 --> 01:27:48,555
- What?
- Amelia, climb into the hoop!

1099
01:27:48,639 --> 01:27:51,600
We need to lose the basket!
It's the heaviest weight!

1100
01:27:51,684 --> 01:27:53,310
Come on!

1101
01:28:01,193 --> 01:28:02,152
Quick!

1102
01:28:02,236 --> 01:28:04,238
Come on!

1103
01:28:15,374 --> 01:28:17,626
That's it!

1104
01:28:30,848 --> 01:28:33,225
Come on!

1105
01:28:39,189 --> 01:28:40,607
One more!

1106
01:28:55,039 --> 01:28:57,041
Hold on!

1107
01:29:10,012 --> 01:29:11,638
It's not enough!

1108
01:29:11,722 --> 01:29:14,975
- We're still too fast.
- It will be enough.

1109
01:29:18,187 --> 01:29:19,688
Amelia?

1110
01:29:19,772 --> 01:29:21,398
Amelia, what are you doing?

1111
01:29:21,482 --> 01:29:24,568
I'm not sure I was meant
to survive this.

1112
01:29:24,651 --> 01:29:27,613
Amelia, no! Get back down!

1113
01:29:27,696 --> 01:29:29,907
Amelia!

1114
01:29:32,576 --> 01:29:33,994
Amelia!

1115
01:29:37,039 --> 01:29:39,208
Bedsheets.

1116
01:29:39,291 --> 01:29:41,710
Amelia, bedsheets!

1117
01:29:41,794 --> 01:29:44,296
We sever the cord
keeping the balloon in shape,

1118
01:29:44,379 --> 01:29:46,340
and then the silk will be
pulled up into the netting

1119
01:29:46,423 --> 01:29:48,509
and act as a parachute.

1120
01:29:49,760 --> 01:29:52,012
- It's not going to work!
- It will work!

1121
01:29:52,096 --> 01:29:53,097
I'm not returning alone.

1122
01:29:53,180 --> 01:29:54,473
Amelia, I'm not
returning alone.

1123
01:29:54,556 --> 01:29:56,475
It's either both of us
or neither of us.

1124
01:29:58,477 --> 01:30:00,270
Hold on!

1125
01:30:01,313 --> 01:30:03,357
We hold on!

1126
01:30:04,233 --> 01:30:06,026
Whoa!

1127
01:30:28,590 --> 01:30:29,883
It worked!

1128
01:30:31,051 --> 01:30:32,845
It worked!

1129
01:30:42,229 --> 01:30:43,772
It's not over yet.

1130
01:30:52,906 --> 01:30:54,199
James!

1131
01:32:04,061 --> 01:32:06,355
James!

1132
01:32:09,274 --> 01:32:11,693
James!

1133
01:32:13,487 --> 01:32:15,072
James!

1134
01:32:16,865 --> 01:32:18,867
James!

1135
01:32:18,951 --> 01:32:21,328
Amelia?

1136
01:32:21,411 --> 01:32:24,289
James!

1137
01:32:26,708 --> 01:32:30,212
- James!
- Amelia, I'm coming!

1138
01:32:30,295 --> 01:32:31,964
James!

1139
01:32:35,133 --> 01:32:37,386
- James!
- Amelia!

1140
01:32:37,469 --> 01:32:39,304
James.

1141
01:32:40,472 --> 01:32:42,307
Amelia!

1142
01:32:43,767 --> 01:32:45,352
James.

1143
01:32:45,435 --> 01:32:47,312
I was just coming to find you.

1144
01:32:48,438 --> 01:32:50,899
Not very quickly, it seems.

1145
01:32:58,323 --> 01:33:00,367
Can you stand?

1146
01:33:00,450 --> 01:33:02,369
I'd rather not.

1147
01:33:05,539 --> 01:33:07,416
And if I help you?

1148
01:33:11,169 --> 01:33:13,338
Then I would stand.

1149
01:33:47,748 --> 01:33:49,124
It was estimated

1150
01:33:49,207 --> 01:33:54,421
that we rose to a height
of 37,000 feet that day.

1151
01:33:54,504 --> 01:33:57,049
Seven miles high.

1152
01:33:57,132 --> 01:33:59,259
"Two aeronauts

1153
01:33:59,343 --> 01:34:02,929
"have been nearer
to the Moon and stars

1154
01:34:03,013 --> 01:34:06,183
than all the race of man
before them."

1155
01:34:06,266 --> 01:34:09,227
The Times, Ethel.
You read it?

1156
01:34:09,311 --> 01:34:12,064
Yes, Arthur,
I've read it.

1157
01:34:15,734 --> 01:34:17,152
My boy.

1158
01:34:17,235 --> 01:34:20,614
James Glaisher's
meticulous recording of data

1159
01:34:20,697 --> 01:34:23,950
showed that the atmosphere
has different layers within it,

1160
01:34:24,034 --> 01:34:25,452
a discovery which led

1161
01:34:25,535 --> 01:34:28,538
to the first scientific
weather forecasts.

1162
01:34:28,622 --> 01:34:31,249
The fact that I am able
to be here at all

1163
01:34:31,333 --> 01:34:36,630
to present this to you
is due to some luck,

1164
01:34:36,713 --> 01:34:38,256
some help...

1165
01:34:40,175 --> 01:34:44,471
...and Amelia Wren's
remarkable courage.

1166
01:34:46,848 --> 01:34:50,060
So, we tell our story

1167
01:34:50,143 --> 01:34:53,522
not for the purposes
of pleasure

1168
01:34:53,605 --> 01:34:56,733
but for the advancement
of knowledge...

1169
01:34:58,276 --> 01:35:00,487
...and for the good of us all.

1170
01:35:14,668 --> 01:35:16,461
We took to the skies

1171
01:35:16,545 --> 01:35:20,799
in the name of discovery,
to find something new,

1172
01:35:20,882 --> 01:35:23,260
to change the world.

1173
01:35:23,343 --> 01:35:26,847
Come on! I've flown
in worse weather than this!

1174
01:35:28,640 --> 01:35:31,017
We'll make pilots of you yet.

1175
01:35:31,101 --> 01:35:32,978
We won't.

1176
01:35:34,646 --> 01:35:36,398
But you don't change the world

1177
01:35:36,481 --> 01:35:39,359
simply by looking at it.

1178
01:35:39,443 --> 01:35:42,946
You change it through the way
you choose to live in it.

1179
01:36:05,385 --> 01:36:07,804
Look up.

1180
01:36:07,888 --> 01:36:11,391
The sky lies open.

1181
01:36:32,373 --> 01:36:37,373
