November 13th:
The Duncan reaches Medano.
where the two groups
of passengers were to meet.
I can't see anything.
Nothing
- Miss Mary!
- What?
- If you only knew ...
- Blasted fog.
I can't hear you.
Miss Mary ... if you only ...
Speak up, will you.
Could you ...
- No, you see.
- A fire!
- Where?
- I see.
I see it.
There are people, look!
Is there no chance of
me finding my father?
No Robert, there's still hope.
We'll continue on the 37th parallel
and keep going to
the end of the world.
- Where is the 37th parallel?
- Dear Paganel, tell us
where does it go?
Latitude 37 ... Crosses South America
passing over the Atlantic Ocean
and Tristan de Cunha
across the Indian Ocean
and St. Peter's Island
then passes through
Aus ... Australia ...
and after Australia...
Good God!
Well I never!
We've been looking for
Captain Grant in the wrong place.
We've not been reading
the documents properly.
- Austral doesn't just mean south
- What is it?
Australia, Australia.
That's where we should be looking.
I see your point,
but you're probably wrong.
I will prove I'm right
and erase your doubts.
It will be the greatest victory
of the French over the British.
If you are so confident, then
I can only say one thing:
- To Australia!
- To Australia!
To our Australian friends!
It's so difficult to
part with you Talgav.
Thank you for everything.
This is my father. I shall tell
him about you when I find him.
- You look like your father, amigo.
Not only have I lost my dad,
but now I 'm losing you.
There they are!
Get ready
Mary, our father is in Australia.
South Atlantic
Continuing their path
on parallel 37
on December 20th
The Duncan reached
Bernouilli, on the
east coast of Australia.
John, we will go into
depths of the continent,
and you take The Duncan
on to Melbourne for repairs.
I've been here for 30 years
and in all this time no vessel
has sunk in the bay.
Do you know anything of our father?
Our documents say that
Grant is on parallel 37.
I've never heard of Captain Grant.
If captain Grant is alive...
then he's to be found in Australia.
- Who is it?
- Ayrton. A worker on the farm.
Tell us Sir.
Tell us everything you know.
- Yes, Ayrton!
- Tell us ...
Tell us ...
I was one of the crew
on Captain Grant's ship.
A storm swept me overboard
and I was washed up on the shore.
I've never seen Captain Grant since.
Here are my sailor's papers.
My father's signature.
Where was the shipwreck?
On the opposite side of Australia.
The ship went down on the
terrible reefs of Twofold Bay.
A boat went out,
to look for survivors.
It's impossible. The Duncan
has gone on to Melbourne.
Let's cross Australia
on parallel 37.
Sir, take me with you.
I will be your guide
and can help you find the Captain.
Australia parallel 37
To the daughter of the
famous English captain,
from a humble French geographer,
flowers from Australia.
Ayrton suggested that
they stop at the Royal Inn.
Hey, innkeeper, feed the
animals and unsaddle my horse.
The horse is with
the blacksmith.
What a strange horseshoe!
It makes it
easier to find the animals.
If the horses are lost we
can follow their tracks.
The Colonial Police will pay 100
pounds to whoever brings
dead or alive,
the escaped convict Ben Joyce
or his accomplices.
From now on I think,
the journey becomes more dangerous.
We have women with us.
For people resolute
and well armed
a few escaped prisoners
will present no problem.
I'm ready to carry on.
So would anyone who has
served under my father's command.
After resting and collecting supplies,
the travellers start out
into an almost unknown region,
the Province of Victoria.
What's the matter, Ayrton?
A local disease.
Where's my horse?
Come here. Help!
Someone ...
What a strange disease.
An unexpected obstacle
barred their way
How do we get across the river?
The road has been washed away,
We cannot pass.
Ayrton, when will the
water level
