1. How bad is the tear?Copy !req
2. We need to lose more weight!Copy !req
3. - Stop the carriage!Copy !req
4. Amelia?Copy !req
5. Are you quite well?Copy !req
6. You don't need
to fly today.Copy !req
7. You can return
to Richmond with me.Copy !req
8. Antonia,
I just need a moment.Copy !req
9. After all you've been through,
no one will think worse of you.Copy !req
10. I would.Copy !req
11. I would think worse of me.Copy !req
12. I have an agreement
with Mr. Glaisher.Copy !req
13. You barely know the man,Copy !req
14. and the little you do,
you're irritated by.Copy !req
15. Antonia, please, I...Copy !req
16. just need a moment.Copy !req
17. One last piece
of sisterly advice.Copy !req
18. Doubt is there
to be listened to.Copy !req
19. Come and get your tickets!Copy !req
20. Amelia Wren!
How high will she go?Copy !req
21. And afterwards, I've got
to take you straight to...Copy !req
22. Amelia Wren!Copy !req
23. Well, I read all about it...Copy !req
24. Hey, you! Get out of the road!Copy !req
25. Come on. Move along.Copy !req
26. She's late.Copy !req
27. She is, but that's
the least of your concerns.Copy !req
28. We'll lose the light, John.Copy !req
29. James, do the clouds
not look ominous to you?Copy !req
30. I repeatedly explained
to Miss WrenCopy !req
31. the importance
of catching the right lightCopy !req
32. and the right wind
at the right time,Copy !req
33. - and she's just
openly ignored me.
- James, look up.Copy !req
34. It's not a concern, John.Copy !req
35. The readings I took
this morning were quite clear.Copy !req
36. Far be it from me
to doubt you, James,Copy !req
37. but your weather predictions
have been wrong in the past,Copy !req
38. and it's just possible
that you've missed...Copy !req
39. Don't even think of it.Copy !req
40. Ah.Copy !req
41. Ned Chambers,Copy !req
42. John Trew,
my very good friend.Copy !req
43. John, this is Ned,
one of the hardy entrepreneursCopy !req
44. who's invested
in our expedition.Copy !req
45. Do not even think of telling me
flight is not possible.Copy !req
46. Mr. Chambers, we are scientists
of the air, and we can tell youCopy !req
47. the one thing no one
can control is, well, the air.Copy !req
48. I have paid for gas.
I have paid for silk.Copy !req
49. And is this balloon
not the strongestCopy !req
50. and largest that's ever been?Copy !req
51. Even so,
it can't fight the weather.Copy !req
52. You don't want to be
responsible for a tragedy, sir.Copy !req
53. I don't wish to be responsible
for refunding the 10,000Copy !req
54. that came here because
you promised them history.Copy !req
55. We'll fly, Ned. We'll fly.Copy !req
56. I only need the sky
to hold for 90 minutes,Copy !req
57. and once we're above
the cloud line, we'll be fine.Copy !req
58. Good. That's fixed, then.Copy !req
59. Now, did you not promise me
a 5:00 ascent?Copy !req
60. I'm set.Copy !req
61. I'm merely waiting
for our pilot.Copy !req
62. And it's not the first time
Miss Wren has kept me waiting.Copy !req
63. What a truly pleasant man.Copy !req
64. One must make compromises
in order to achieve greatness,Copy !req
65. - my friend.Copy !req
66. - And he...Copy !req
67. is merely one compromise.Copy !req
68. Hello, everybody, and welcome!Copy !req
69. Welcome back, Amelia!Copy !req
70. Are you ready?Copy !req
71. Amelia!Copy !req
72. You're incredibly late.Copy !req
73. Lesson number one
of aeronauting:Copy !req
74. We are creatures of the skiesCopy !req
75. and have no respect
for landlocked clocks.Copy !req
76. Mr. Glaisher, are you
really not a gentleman at all?Copy !req
77. - Hold out your hand to me.Copy !req
78. - Go on, Glaisher!
- Go on! -Take her hand!Copy !req
79. Look like you've never
seen a woman before!Copy !req
80. - Don't keep a lady waiting!
- Come on, Mr. Glaisher!Copy !req
81. Take her hand!Copy !req
82. Take her hand, Mr. Glaisher!Copy !req
83. You're naughty!Copy !req
84. Are you ready?Copy !req
85. Mr. Glaisher, you have no
conception of how ready I am.Copy !req
86. Posey!Copy !req
87. - Good dog.Copy !req
88. She's got a dog!Copy !req
89. - Posey.Copy !req
90. No, no, no.Copy !req
91. No, absolutely not.Copy !req
92. Under no circumstances
are we taking a dog.Copy !req
93. I told you we'd have to play
to the crowd,Copy !req
94. and they prefer my dog
to your boxes.Copy !req
95. Those are essential
meteorological instruments.Copy !req
96. - And this is an essential dog.Copy !req
97. - She's called Posey.Copy !req
98. The essential...Copy !req
99. - Posey!Copy !req
100. Go on. In you go.Copy !req
101. - Excuse me.Copy !req
102. Ladies and gentlemen,Copy !req
103. today, myself— Amelia Wren—Copy !req
104. my naughty scientist,
Mr. Glaisher...Copy !req
105. - and my wonder dog PoseyCopy !req
106. are going to change the world.Copy !req
107. Are you ready for us to do so?Copy !req
108. This balloon on which I stand—Copy !req
109. the Mammoth—
is a balloon like no other,Copy !req
110. and will allow us to ascend
higher into the airCopy !req
111. than any man or woman
has ever gone.Copy !req
112. The French rose to 23,000 feet.Copy !req
113. Today, we will
break that recordCopy !req
114. and reclaim it
for these fair shores!Copy !req
115. Who knows?Copy !req
116. We may reach the MoonCopy !req
117. and bring back...Copy !req
118. - stardust!Copy !req
119. Today is a day
when history will be made,Copy !req
120. and you will all be
a part of it.Copy !req
121. Mr. Glaisher,
now is your moment.Copy !req
122. Up you get.Copy !req
123. Fireworks?Copy !req
124. Are you ready?Copy !req
125. Yes. I just need to retake
my ground readingsCopy !req
126. and then do one final check
of the equipment.Copy !req
127. Well, my equipmentCopy !req
128. - was all prepared in advance.Copy !req
129. Now, don't touch this rope,
Mr. Glaisher,Copy !req
130. 'cause it will let out the gas.Copy !req
131. I do know how a balloon works.Copy !req
132. Uh, what are you doing?Copy !req
133. We fly.Copy !req
134. - The sky awaits.
- Wait, no.Copy !req
135. These ground readings
are essential.Copy !req
136. If they're not accurate...Copy !req
137. Godspeed, old man.Copy !req
138. Goodbye!Copy !req
139. - What are you doing?
- Giving the people
their money's worth.Copy !req
140. W-Will that not damage
the integrity of the balloon?Copy !req
141. Perhaps.Copy !req
142. Goodbye!Copy !req
143. For God's sake.Copy !req
144. Goodbye!Copy !req
145. This is absurd.Copy !req
146. It's what they call
entertainment, Mr. Glaisher.Copy !req
147. Well, I'm not finding it
particularly entertaining.Copy !req
148. It requires a...
a sense of humor,Copy !req
149. which you seem to lack.Copy !req
150. This is ridiculous.Copy !req
151. Don't be so sour.Copy !req
152. Give me the dog.Copy !req
153. What do you mean,
give you the dog?Copy !req
154. - Pass me Posey, Mr. Glaisher.
- I'm not giving you the dog.Copy !req
155. Mr. Glaisher, the dog. Now.Copy !req
156. - Goodbye!Copy !req
157. - Quick.Copy !req
158. - Come on!
- What, you just want me to...Copy !req
159. - what, just pass her to you?
- Pass her up.Copy !req
160. - Yes, pass her up.
- All right.Copy !req
161. - Come on, Posey. Come on.
- All right.Copy !req
162. No, don't!Copy !req
163. Did you see that?Copy !req
164. Well done, Posey.Copy !req
165. Come on, Posey.
Come on, girl.Copy !req
166. There he is. Ah!Copy !req
167. Mr. Glaisher, you are airborneCopy !req
168. for the first time
in your life.Copy !req
169. I suggest you spend less time
frowning at me and...Copy !req
170. more taking in this beautiful
world we've just left.Copy !req
171. Quite something, isn't she?Copy !req
172. London.Copy !req
173. It all looks so...Copy !req
174. Insignificant?Copy !req
175. Do you take anything seriously,
Miss Wren?Copy !req
176. Some things.Copy !req
177. That crowd gathered to witness
us break the height record.Copy !req
178. They didn't need to see
a flying dog.Copy !req
179. Mm. Still stuck there, are you?Copy !req
180. I've spent much of my lifeCopy !req
181. being laughed at
for what I do, Miss Wren.Copy !req
182. I'd rather hope that today
might prove an exception.Copy !req
183. Tell me, what determines
your reputation?Copy !req
184. My reputation?Copy !req
185. Yes, your standing
in the scientific community.Copy !req
186. The papers I've written,
the discoveries I've uncovered.Copy !req
187. Your reputation
is built on paper,Copy !req
188. and my reputation
is built on screams.Copy !req
189. And those people below,
they came to be entertained.Copy !req
190. And they, if you didn't know,Copy !req
191. are the ones paying
for this trip.Copy !req
192. You off to the opera?Copy !req
193. I've been looking
at the same thing.Copy !req
194. Don't tell me that cloud
isn't a cause for concern.Copy !req
195. I'm the scientist;
you're the pilot.Copy !req
196. Let's stick to our roles,
shall we?Copy !req
197. James!Copy !req
198. - James!
- Come on, John.Copy !req
199. - I'll not miss the takeoff.
- It's in the air.Copy !req
200. We could have stayed
on the ground and looked up.Copy !req
201. We must see it from
the best vantage point, Johnny.Copy !req
202. For God's sake.Copy !req
203. Sky's clear,
so I predict a clean takeoff,Copy !req
204. which means that in precisely
24 seconds we should see it.Copy !req
205. You are awareCopy !req
206. he might not make it
off the ground?Copy !req
207. Charles Green
will make it off the ground.Copy !req
208. Maybe not quite so close
to the edge of the building.Copy !req
209. Listen, John,
will you stop scowling at me?Copy !req
210. - Sc...
- Do I count the hours
that I spendCopy !req
211. helping you
pin butterflies to a board?Copy !req
212. Pinning butterflies
is not a dangerous pursuit.Copy !req
213. - Five, four,Copy !req
214. three, two,Copy !req
215. - one.Copy !req
216. Could be anything.Copy !req
217. The gas valve ruptured.
The silk tore.Copy !req
218. He's rethought
the balloon shape.Copy !req
219. It's wider at the top,
like a parachute.Copy !req
220. That's very clever.Copy !req
221. May I look?Copy !req
222. Yes, you may. Here.Copy !req
223. John.Copy !req
224. If you've had time enough...Copy !req
225. You'll get your chance,
you know.Copy !req
226. They'll realize your worth.Copy !req
227. I think they know my worth
quite well enough.Copy !req
228. Gentlemen! Gentlemen!Copy !req
229. We-we know more now
about this world around usCopy !req
230. than at any moment
in our history.Copy !req
231. And yet, still, still,
we are limitedCopy !req
232. by our ignorance
as to what is truly above us.Copy !req
233. Now, with the progress that
we have made in balloon ascentCopy !req
234. here at the Society,
pioneered by Charles Green,Copy !req
235. we could advance meteorology
by decades.Copy !req
236. Analysis of
the Earth's magnetic field,Copy !req
237. the solar spectrum,
knowledge of the dew point,Copy !req
238. understanding of oxygenation
of the atmosphere,Copy !req
239. - atmospheric...
- He wants my balloon!Copy !req
240. - No, sir.Copy !req
241. No, sir, I ask for funding
for my own expeditionCopy !req
242. - into the skies.Copy !req
243. By gathering enough data,Copy !req
244. I believe that we will be able
to uncover patternsCopy !req
245. - and correlations that...
- Sir,Copy !req
246. we are scientists,
not fortune tellers.Copy !req
247. You're talking about
weather prediction.Copy !req
248. But is that not our
responsibility as scientists,Copy !req
249. to find order in chaos,
gentlemen?Copy !req
250. Please, if we could understand
the sky above us...Copy !req
251. You are no closer to predicting
the movements of the weatherCopy !req
252. - than the movements
of a frog in a jar.Copy !req
253. If we could understand the skiesCopy !req
254. - above us, gentlemen...Copy !req
255. Gentlemen, we...Copy !req
256. - You're delusional, my friend.
- With your financial support,Copy !req
257. we are on the precipice
of extraordinary change.Copy !req
258. The possibility of advanced
weather prediction could—Copy !req
259. - it could save lives.Copy !req
260. Gentlemen. Gent...
Gentlemen, please!Copy !req
261. We have to sit through this?Copy !req
262. Please!Copy !req
263. "James Glaisher spoke againCopy !req
264. "this week at the Royal SocietyCopy !req
265. of his plans to make a science
of the weather."Copy !req
266. In-in The Times.
You read it?Copy !req
267. Yes, I've read it, Pa.Copy !req
268. "To the accompaniment
of much laughter."Copy !req
269. - Oh, Arthur, please stop.
- They're wrong, by the way.Copy !req
270. Well, many more thought
you were.Copy !req
271. Well, many didn't believe
in Newton.Copy !req
272. Newton? Oh, James.Copy !req
273. Newton changed the way
we see the EarthCopy !req
274. and the planets and the stars.Copy !req
275. You think you can predict...Copy !req
276. when it might rain.Copy !req
277. Th-These things that people
are saying about you, James,Copy !req
278. don't-don't... don't they hurt?Copy !req
279. I wish it didn't hurt you.Copy !req
280. - nine minutes and 23 seconds.Copy !req
281. Altitude is 5,400 feet.Copy !req
282. And air temperature is
64 degrees Fahrenheit.Copy !req
283. Delightful. Could you...?Copy !req
284. - What?
- Just-just at the top.Copy !req
285. Yeah.Copy !req
286. You should put on
your oilskins, Mr. Glaisher.Copy !req
287. All right.Copy !req
288. Out you come.Copy !req
289. What are you attaching
to those pigeons?Copy !req
290. Our readings.Copy !req
291. Oh. I see.Copy !req
292. Reassuring to know
you've contemplated our deaths.Copy !req
293. I've just insured against them,
should we not make it back.Copy !req
294. Cloud ahoy.Copy !req
295. "What more felicitie
can fall to creatureCopy !req
296. "Than to enjoy delight...Copy !req
297. - with libertie..."
"With libertie,Copy !req
298. And to be lord
of all the workes of Nature."Copy !req
299. "To raine
in th' aire from earth..."Copy !req
300. "... to the highest skie,Copy !req
301. To feed on flowres and weeds
of glorious feature."Copy !req
302. "To take what ever thingCopy !req
303. doth please the eie?"Copy !req
304. Spenser.Copy !req
305. "The Fate of the Butterflie."Copy !req
306. It's one of my favorite poems.Copy !req
307. Surprising.Copy !req
308. I didn't have you down
as a literary man.Copy !req
309. Men of science, uh,
can enjoy words, Miss Wren.Copy !req
310. My husband loved that poem.Copy !req
311. I would have liked
to have met your husband.Copy !req
312. I'm not sure
he'd have liked you.Copy !req
313. Really?Copy !req
314. He disliked people who studied
rather than practiced.Copy !req
315. Are we still sure
this weather will hold?Copy !req
316. Because my instinct
is telling me...Copy !req
317. Instinct has no place
in weather prediction.Copy !req
318. You're lying to me.Copy !req
319. Every reading that I took
this morningCopy !req
320. was quite clear, Miss Wren.Copy !req
321. There are no advantages
in concealing concerns.Copy !req
322. We are trapped here
no matter what you say.Copy !req
323. This pressure is changing
faster than I'd anticipated.Copy !req
324. We're about to get wet.Copy !req
325. And so it begins.Copy !req
326. I'm not sure your instruments
are much use to us now.Copy !req
327. We need to batten down,Copy !req
328. so please put on
your wet weather clothing.Copy !req
329. There are no prizes
for obstinacy.Copy !req
330. - James.Copy !req
331. If you won't listen to me,
listen to that.Copy !req
332. But not one of my readings
suggested a storm.Copy !req
333. Well, that's what it is,
and we're inside a cumulo,Copy !req
334. which is precisely
where we shouldn't be.Copy !req
335. Don't worry.Copy !req
336. She's not made
of conductive material,Copy !req
337. so we won't attract lightning.Copy !req
338. And if we are struck,Copy !req
339. the gas will explode,
so we won't live long enoughCopy !req
340. for me to point out...Copy !req
341. Hold on!Copy !req
342. Get that equipment
put away now!Copy !req
343. These instruments
will give us...Copy !req
344. Stay still and keep calm.Copy !req
345. I need to get us out of this.Copy !req
346. No! No!Copy !req
347. We cannot descend!Copy !req
348. This might be our one
and only opportunity.Copy !req
349. - Of course we don't descend.
- We don't?Copy !req
350. There are two ways
to break a storm.Copy !req
351. One is to travel beneath it,
the other above it.Copy !req
352. The safest way is up.Copy !req
353. The safest way is up?Copy !req
354. Who did you think
you got in a balloon with?Copy !req
355. Amelia!Copy !req
356. - Amelia! Amelia!Copy !req
357. - Give me your hand!Copy !req
358. Hold on!Copy !req
359. Hold on!Copy !req
360. Take my hand! Take my hand!Copy !req
361. One!Copy !req
362. Two!Copy !req
363. Three!Copy !req
364. - You all right?
- Yes.Copy !req
365. Hold on!Copy !req
366. It's not over yet.Copy !req
367. A lucky escape.Copy !req
368. Or a brilliant one.Copy !req
369. May I look through
your spyglass, sir?Copy !req
370. There's nothing to see.Copy !req
371. I lost them
when the storm passed over.Copy !req
372. I would like a look
all the same, sir.Copy !req
373. I won't steal it.Copy !req
374. I didn't presume you would.Copy !req
375. You have an interest
in the air?Copy !req
376. Don't you wish
to be up there with them?Copy !req
377. No, I'd be
an unnecessary weight.Copy !req
378. All the same.Copy !req
379. Some reach for the stars.Copy !req
380. Some push others towards them.Copy !req
381. I wish I was up there.Copy !req
382. You're not afraid
of the clouds?Copy !req
383. Clouds are just water.Copy !req
384. Oh.Copy !req
385. And what of the birds
that may attack you?Copy !req
386. May I look through
your spyglass?Copy !req
387. I can see them, sir.Copy !req
388. Not possible.Copy !req
389. I-I can see them, sir. I can.Copy !req
390. That's my entire body weight.Copy !req
391. - You all right?Copy !req
392. There we go.Copy !req
393. Now, that should hold.Copy !req
394. I hope.Copy !req
395. Looks pretty precarious to me.Copy !req
396. She's stronger
than she looks.Copy !req
397. Right.Copy !req
398. James.Copy !req
399. James, you'll miss it.Copy !req
400. That's an aureole.Copy !req
401. Have you seen
one of those before?Copy !req
402. You haven't?Copy !req
403. I have in books.Copy !req
404. I believe you should be
checking your instruments.Copy !req
405. You can't have taken a good
reading in quite some time.Copy !req
406. You so enjoy being amused
by me, don't you?Copy !req
407. I'm amused by your enjoymentCopy !req
408. of something that has
nothing to do with numbers.Copy !req
409. Have you noticed
it's completely silent?Copy !req
410. Hello...!Copy !req
411. Cloud ahoy...!Copy !req
412. Can you hear that?Copy !req
413. It's a bell.Copy !req
414. - That's bells.Copy !req
415. - Where is that coming from?Copy !req
416. - That's horses.Copy !req
417. So the humid conditions
must be conducting the sound.Copy !req
418. - We have...
- That's the sound of the street.Copy !req
419. flown through a storm,
and still London follows us.Copy !req
420. This high barometer reading's
phenomenal.Copy !req
421. Amelia. Regarde-moi.Copy !req
422. Amelia. Amelia!Copy !req
423. Amelia, regarde-moi!Copy !req
424. Amelia!Copy !req
425. - Amelia, this...Copy !req
426. Amelia, what's the matter?Copy !req
427. Are you all right?Copy !req
428. It'll soon pass.Copy !req
429. I didn't lock it.Copy !req
430. No, you did not.Copy !req
431. - You're not dressed.Copy !req
432. Yet I'm wearing clothes.Copy !req
433. And when was the last time
you changed them?Copy !req
434. So you break down my door
to tell me to wash?Copy !req
435. When was the last time
you opened any curtains?Copy !req
436. Sunlight ages.Copy !req
437. I want my furnishings
to retain their glow.Copy !req
438. Which ones are glowing?Copy !req
439. The ones, uh,
with your food upon themCopy !req
440. or the ones that are covered
in your-your dirty clothing?Copy !req
441. I do not need to see it
to know it's there.Copy !req
442. Well, as much as you might
enjoy your self-pity,Copy !req
443. I'm not here
to freshen anything.Copy !req
444. Phillip has invited usCopy !req
445. - to a small gathering.
- Oh, no, no, no, no. No.Copy !req
446. Amelia.Copy !req
447. I do so hate
how you say my name.Copy !req
448. It's like a priest imploring
me to confess my sins.Copy !req
449. It's been two years.Copy !req
450. Do you really think Pierre
would have wanted this?Copy !req
451. That is beneath even you.Copy !req
452. I'll help you change.Copy !req
453. Come.Copy !req
454. Sisters together.Copy !req
455. And then I'll let you rot.Copy !req
456. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
457. So much easier to claim soCopy !req
458. with handsome men on one's arm.Copy !req
459. - Yes, uh, certainly. Yes.Copy !req
460. Oh, please.Copy !req
461. Mother always taught me,Copy !req
462. why have one man
when you can have two?Copy !req
463. - Please.
- Oh. Be a pleasure to.Copy !req
464. - Will you excuse me?
- Bonny.Copy !req
465. Come on, then.Copy !req
466. Your sister's proud as punch
she's pulled you here.Copy !req
467. Hello, Auntie.Copy !req
468. She keeps trying to persuade
men to take you onto the floor.Copy !req
469. And they refuse her?Copy !req
470. I think
they're intimidated by you.Copy !req
471. How exciting.Copy !req
472. Still, hard to be
the woman that provokes fear.Copy !req
473. Are you the Widow Wren?Copy !req
474. I dislike that title.Copy !req
475. But you are Miss Wren?Copy !req
476. Amelia Wren.Copy !req
477. And who might you be?Copy !req
478. Glaisher. James Glaisher.Copy !req
479. It was a pleasure
to meet you, Mr. Glaisher.Copy !req
480. Wh-What brings you here?Copy !req
481. - Here?
- Yeah.Copy !req
482. The, uh... the selfish needs
of a sister.Copy !req
483. You?Copy !req
484. The mercenary needs
of a friend.Copy !req
485. Uh, he needed accompanying
in his romance.Copy !req
486. She's apparently worth
thousands of pounds a year,Copy !req
487. so I'm trapped here,
just as you are.Copy !req
488. Well, we needn't
trap each other.Copy !req
489. Miss Wren, sorry,
I'm a, I'm a so-scientist,Copy !req
490. an astronomer
and a meteorologist, and I...Copy !req
491. A scientist, an astronomer
and a what?Copy !req
492. I believe that the weather
can be predicted.Copy !req
493. Miss Wren, I need to make
studies of the air,Copy !req
494. and I need to be in the air.Copy !req
495. And I need you to help me.Copy !req
496. Do you even have a balloon?Copy !req
497. Not yet, no.Copy !req
498. - I don't.
- So you make
an invitation to me,Copy !req
499. when it is I
who should be inviting you?Copy !req
500. No, I need us...
I need you to fly us higherCopy !req
501. than any man or any woman
has ever been. What?Copy !req
502. Dance with me.Copy !req
503. Dance with you?Copy !req
504. Dance with me,
and we may converse more.Copy !req
505. Amelia. Um... Oh.Copy !req
506. I presume there's a game
you're playing hereCopy !req
507. with others in the room.Copy !req
508. You think I'm trying
to make another jealous?Copy !req
509. You're not that handsome.Copy !req
510. Every man in this room
is petrifiedCopy !req
511. to be seen talking to you,
let alone dancing with you.Copy !req
512. No, I imagine
your game is with another.Copy !req
513. - You're clever.
- I'm observant.Copy !req
514. Or presumptuous.Copy !req
515. And there are certain things,
if I may,Copy !req
516. that I feel safe
in presuming about you.Copy !req
517. Perhaps that you don't haveCopy !req
518. an invitation
for tonight's events.Copy !req
519. Would that be
a fair presumption?Copy !req
520. On what basis
do you make that assumption?Copy !req
521. Your suit is
two years out of fashion,Copy !req
522. your shoes abominable,Copy !req
523. your dancing ridiculous—
I'm leading, you are not—Copy !req
524. and because this gentlemanCopy !req
525. clearly doesn't know you
at all.Copy !req
526. Oh.Copy !req
527. Thank you for the dance.Copy !req
528. I didn't realize
that appearancesCopy !req
529. were so important to you,
and I'm sorryCopy !req
530. that I don't live up
to this society standard.Copy !req
531. I don't care
what shoes you wear.Copy !req
532. I care that you're lying to me.Copy !req
533. It'll be your balloon.Copy !req
534. All I ask is
to be given the freedomCopy !req
535. to undertake my experiments.Copy !req
536. I'm not a coachman for hire.Copy !req
537. Good, because I'm looking
for a fellow scientist.Copy !req
538. To understand the weather,
Miss Wren, is to understandCopy !req
539. how to make ships
and sailors safer,Copy !req
540. farms more productive,Copy !req
541. so we can prepare ourselves
and our world for floods,Copy !req
542. for droughts, famines.Copy !req
543. We could save
thousands of lives.Copy !req
544. I want to rewrite the rules
of the air, Miss Wren.Copy !req
545. And I need your help.Copy !req
546. So, will you...Copy !req
547. help me?Copy !req
548. Yeah, this seems much more...Copy !req
549. You're punishing me!Copy !req
550. I'm not sure a factory
full of flammable gasesCopy !req
551. is the safest place
for children.Copy !req
552. You're punishing me
for dragging youCopy !req
553. to that ridiculous evening.Copy !req
554. No, I am grateful to you
for dragging meCopy !req
555. to that ridiculous evening.Copy !req
556. I'd not made the acquaintance
of Mr. Glaisher otherwise.Copy !req
557. - Now, girls,Copy !req
558. I believe we have
some macaroons somewhere.Copy !req
559. If that is not proof
of you punishing me,Copy !req
560. - then I do not know what is.
- Not here.Copy !req
561. I hated you going up
in the air with Pierre,Copy !req
562. but why you'd want to go up
on your own, I can't even...Copy !req
563. With Mr. Glaisher.Copy !req
564. You're my only sister.Copy !req
565. I do not wish to lose you
to any more... foolishness.Copy !req
566. You'd rather I found a man
prepared to marry meCopy !req
567. to devote myself to.Copy !req
568. I'd rather you found a way
to make yourself happy.Copy !req
569. You can't just fly away
from your problems.Copy !req
570. You have to face them here,
on earth, with the rest of us.Copy !req
571. Look, Antonia,
I am a really good aeronaut,Copy !req
572. and I want to use
what I'm good at.Copy !req
573. Yeah, but you are
a highly accomplished woman.Copy !req
574. You could be good
at so many things.Copy !req
575. You could have the most
beautiful life in society,Copy !req
576. if only you'd try.Copy !req
577. And if that isn't what I want?Copy !req
578. Then you have to learn
to want it.Copy !req
579. Up there,Copy !req
580. it's where I have found
the greatest happiness.Copy !req
581. He was the happiness,
not the damn balloon.Copy !req
582. Come on, girls. We're going
to be late for lunch.Copy !req
583. So, have you been
this high before?Copy !req
584. Only once.Copy !req
585. With Pierre?Copy !req
586. We have time enough.Copy !req
587. Why don't you tell me
about him?Copy !req
588. Ashamed as I am to not stickCopy !req
589. to your
conversational schedule,Copy !req
590. I have nothing to tell.Copy !req
591. - Does your head not hurt?
- No.Copy !req
592. I can't feel it. Sorry, I'm...Copy !req
593. I didn't mean to...Copy !req
594. What happened to you,Copy !req
595. I didn't mean
to make light of it.Copy !req
596. It will heal.Copy !req
597. You won't have a scar.Copy !req
598. At this height?Copy !req
599. Look.Copy !req
600. Look.Copy !req
601. He was right.Copy !req
602. The fool was right.Copy !req
603. Of all the amazing things.Copy !req
604. My friend John— John Trew—
he made a study of them.Copy !req
605. So, he theorized,
beyond the birds,Copy !req
606. an air current
on which only insects travel,Copy !req
607. and I never believed him.Copy !req
608. And I certainly never thought
that we would prove him right.Copy !req
609. Careful.Copy !req
610. Oh.Copy !req
611. There she goes.Copy !req
612. Where are they heading,
do you think?Copy !req
613. Perhaps they trust
the wind to decide.Copy !req
614. He'd have liked these.Copy !req
615. Pierre.Copy !req
616. My husband was...Copy !req
617. the bravest man I knew.Copy !req
618. He saw possibilities
others could not, but...Copy !req
619. his most enduring quality
was a deep...Copy !req
620. and true love
for the beauty of the world.Copy !req
621. Thank you.Copy !req
622. Others would have
pushed me further.Copy !req
623. Thank you... for not.Copy !req
624. I cannot quantify
what you've lost.Copy !req
625. No.Copy !req
626. You can't.Copy !req
627. Return to your instruments,
Mr. Glaisher.Copy !req
628. I said return
to your instruments.Copy !req
629. I shall.Copy !req
630. Is she lost?Copy !req
631. Wren, isn't it?Copy !req
632. Amelia Wren?Copy !req
633. I'm looking for James Glaisher.Copy !req
634. You're very welcome
to wait outsideCopy !req
635. while we fetch him to you.Copy !req
636. You see, we have a policy
toward the fairer sex...Copy !req
637. Then I'll find him myself.Copy !req
638. Lovely to see you again,
Charles.Copy !req
639. Time, Johnny?Copy !req
640. 17 seconds.Copy !req
641. Come on, James.
Imagine you're hurtlingCopy !req
642. - towards the ground.Copy !req
643. Hurry, man. Your equipment's
gonna be destroyed.Copy !req
644. Yep.Copy !req
645. - 26 seconds. Well done.Copy !req
646. And you said
I couldn't break 30.Copy !req
647. - My senses deserted me.
- Miss Wren.Copy !req
648. - This is an honor.
- I do not wish to abandon you...Copy !req
649. - May I give you a tour?
- ... but I'm afraid I must.Copy !req
650. Abandon me?Copy !req
651. The build is already under way.Copy !req
652. The largest balloon
ever on order.Copy !req
653. I don't want to climb inside
the balloon, Mr. Glaisher.Copy !req
654. I don't want to climb
into a balloon ever again.Copy !req
655. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.Copy !req
656. No, no, no,
that is not acceptable.Copy !req
657. A vast amount of money
has already been spent.Copy !req
658. I'm sorry, sir.Copy !req
659. I have made my decision.Copy !req
660. Evening, Ma.Copy !req
661. The wanderer returns.Copy !req
662. - You were due last week.
- Yes, I know I was.Copy !req
663. Sorry. I've been, uh...
I've been having some...Copy !req
664. Yes, we've been reading all
about you in the newspapers.Copy !req
665. Of all the people, James.Copy !req
666. Women don't belong
in balloons, on show.Copy !req
667. And she makes
such a show of herself.Copy !req
668. Your reputation risks ruin.Copy !req
669. Well, you'll be pleased
to hear, Ma,Copy !req
670. that the expedition's off.Copy !req
671. It was Miss Wren who wouldn't
risk flight with me.Copy !req
672. Is he upstairs?Copy !req
673. James, his mind's been
playing tricks on him again.Copy !req
674. It's got worse?Copy !req
675. It comes and goes.Copy !req
676. Tread carefully with him.Copy !req
677. Hard at it?Copy !req
678. - Ethel! Ethel!
- Oh, Pa, Pa, it's me.Copy !req
679. - It's James.
- Ethel!Copy !req
680. Listen, Ma knows I'm here.
It's James.Copy !req
681. I'm your son.Copy !req
682. You're—
M-My son's only ten years old.Copy !req
683. I got older.Copy !req
684. Now, what have you been... what
have you been looking at here?Copy !req
685. Oh, get away from that.Copy !req
686. Pallas?
You've been looking at Pallas?Copy !req
687. Course I'm looking at Pallas.Copy !req
688. Good spotting.Copy !req
689. - Here.
- Do not pretendCopy !req
690. that you can see anything
through those.Copy !req
691. These are the glasses I taught
you to stargaze through.Copy !req
692. They're quite sufficient
for some work.Copy !req
693. Your trip.Copy !req
694. You're going on a trip.Copy !req
695. In a balloon.Copy !req
696. Yes, I'm trying to, Pa.Copy !req
697. Yeah.Copy !req
698. To see the stars.Copy !req
699. I hope so.Copy !req
700. I used to dream
of taking my bedsheet,Copy !req
701. catching a gust of windCopy !req
702. and dancing in a parachute
among the stars.Copy !req
703. I know you did. You told me.Copy !req
704. Mm. Nothing...Copy !req
705. nothing m-more mysterious,
nor more beautiful,Copy !req
706. than the stars in the sky.Copy !req
707. Mm.Copy !req
708. Wh-What are you doing in here?Copy !req
709. Y-You know the rules.Copy !req
710. Not in my room.Copy !req
711. - I-I...
- And keep away
from that spyglass.Copy !req
712. It's very valuable, James.Copy !req
713. I know it is, Pa.
I bought it for you.Copy !req
714. - He's tired.
- Oh.Copy !req
715. Probably best
not to overdo it.Copy !req
716. Thank you, Ethel.
Get this lad out of here.Copy !req
717. Yes, dear.Copy !req
718. Leave it while you're
still on the up.Copy !req
719. Good night. I will, um...Copy !req
720. I'll see you next week.Copy !req
721. James.Copy !req
722. For your trip.Copy !req
723. Thank you.Copy !req
724. Prove them wrong, James.Copy !req
725. Next week.Copy !req
726. Mm.Copy !req
727. Mr. Green?Copy !req
728. Mr. Green, sir? Sir.Copy !req
729. If it isn't Mr. Glaisher,
the weather sleuth.Copy !req
730. I believe he prefers
to be describedCopy !req
731. as a meteorologist, Charles.Copy !req
732. Of course he does.
Well, best of luck with it.Copy !req
733. As I'm sure you're aware, sir,Copy !req
734. I've not been able
to attract the funds,Copy !req
735. either from the Royal Society
or elsewhere,Copy !req
736. that I need to fly.Copy !req
737. It is an expensive
preoccupation.Copy !req
738. I've heard that you're lookingCopy !req
739. - to make another
balloon ascent.
- I am.Copy !req
740. Well, I would like the
opportunity to be your second.Copy !req
741. I will prove
a willing accomplice, sir.Copy !req
742. I have also strong ideas
as to how to increaseCopy !req
743. the hydrogen levels
in the coal gasCopy !req
744. that I believe might be
your unlocking,Copy !req
745. and you might finally be able
to break that height record.Copy !req
746. Have you even been
in a balloon?Copy !req
747. I've studied them extensively.Copy !req
748. Do you have any experience
of frostbite, low air pressure,Copy !req
749. the mind-altering effects of
a lack of oxygen to the brain?Copy !req
750. How else does one learn
but by partaking?Copy !req
751. Exactly what I need
in a second: a theoristCopy !req
752. with no ideas about
the true dangers of the air.Copy !req
753. Find another madman
to get in a balloon with.Copy !req
754. Uh, perhaps the French.Copy !req
755. Or, better yet, that woman.Copy !req
756. Good day.Copy !req
757. 22,200.Copy !req
758. Do you have faith
in these thermometers?Copy !req
759. 22,400.Copy !req
760. If so, we're at 21 degrees,
and that is cold.Copy !req
761. 22,500. Well, you can note
that temperature down.Copy !req
762. Hmm. You trust me
to write in your book?Copy !req
763. I am honored.Copy !req
764. Have we slowed?
Are we not at 22,600?Copy !req
765. Oh, so you are interested.Copy !req
766. And now we've passed 22,600.Copy !req
767. - You're insufferable.
- You are excited.Copy !req
768. And that is 22,700.Copy !req
769. - History will be rewritten.
- 22,900.Copy !req
770. 23,000.Copy !req
771. We are now higherCopy !req
772. than any man or any womanCopy !req
773. has ever been.Copy !req
774. Thank you for taking me up
in your balloon, Mr. Glaisher.Copy !req
775. Thank you for taking me up
in your balloon, Miss Wren.Copy !req
776. It doesn't feel different
at all, does it?Copy !req
777. On the contrary.Copy !req
778. This is the moment thatCopy !req
779. I've been waiting for
my entire life.Copy !req
780. I rather suspect
I've been waiting for it, too.Copy !req
781. Right. Now...Copy !req
782. You still think
we might not make it back?Copy !req
783. I'm just sending a message
to Charles Green.Copy !req
784. 23,900 feet.Copy !req
785. We're rising
even more quickly now.Copy !req
786. Did you know? Could you tell?Copy !req
787. It's because the air's thinner.Copy !req
788. She's expanding.Copy !req
789. We should think of slowing.Copy !req
790. So, the air is
aiding our ascent.Copy !req
791. Isn't that outstanding?Copy !req
792. Surely, now is the time
to put your oilskins on.Copy !req
793. Didn't bring any oilskins.
They proved extremely heavy.Copy !req
794. I told you
that you needed oilskins.Copy !req
795. Well, the equipment
was essential.Copy !req
796. The weight limit was essential.Copy !req
797. If I'm to get a little sick
returning...Copy !req
798. A little sick?
You-you carry four thermometers,Copy !req
799. you carry this strange box,Copy !req
800. but you-you couldn't bring
suitable clothingCopy !req
801. - for the cold and the wet?
- Keep moving.Copy !req
802. Don't stop. The cold will only
catch you if you let it.Copy !req
803. We need to go down now.Copy !req
804. Wait. No, no, we're not
descending. Not yet.Copy !req
805. The best way to break a storm
is to travel up.Copy !req
806. I quote you, dear lady.
Well, maybe the best wayCopy !req
807. to break a cold is also
to travel up.Copy !req
808. And which science
are you basing that upon?Copy !req
809. The science that says,
with every layer of air,Copy !req
810. we are traveling
into an unknown.Copy !req
811. So, with every layer of air,
we are travelingCopy !req
812. - closer to the sun.
- I believe we have
already accomplished...Copy !req
813. So these findings
that I am still to discover,Copy !req
814. - they could be overwhelming.
- You are freezing.Copy !req
815. - Please. What have we to lose?
- Our lives.Copy !req
816. This could be more important
than our lives!Copy !req
817. Please. I know that you
want this as much as I do.Copy !req
818. I'm descending.Copy !req
819. Stop.Copy !req
820. No.Copy !req
821. So, this balloon has defiedCopy !req
822. every single thing
that we have thrown at it.Copy !req
823. This is not about the balloon.Copy !req
824. This is not about science.Copy !req
825. This is about your war with
those who lord it over you.Copy !req
826. - And I have fought them, too.Copy !req
827. - This is, this is not...
- I...Copy !req
828. This is, this is about that.Copy !req
829. Look at it.Copy !req
830. There's nothing more beautiful,Copy !req
831. nor more mysterious,
than the stars in the sky.Copy !req
832. And look at us.Copy !req
833. We are dancing amongst them.Copy !req
834. You wanted that writing
on the balloon, Amelia.Copy !req
835. "Caelum certe...Copy !req
836. - patet, ibimus illi."
- "Patet, ibimus illi."Copy !req
837. "Surely, the sky lies open.Copy !req
838. Let us go that way."Copy !req
839. The sky is open.Copy !req
840. It is open.Copy !req
841. Now, you understandCopy !req
842. there will come a time
when we go no further?Copy !req
843. Yes, I do.Copy !req
844. Do you understandCopy !req
845. that decision
will only be mine?Copy !req
846. Yes, I do.Copy !req
847. Thank you.Copy !req
848. Tell me when we land
if I deserve your thanks.Copy !req
849. You deserve my thanks.Copy !req
850. Good evening, Miss Wren.Copy !req
851. I've made my decision,
Mr. Trew.Copy !req
852. And I understand that. I just
wanted to gift you this book.Copy !req
853. These are beautiful.Copy !req
854. They're pictures
of snowflake formations.Copy !req
855. A study of the mathematical
possibilities of nature,Copy !req
856. a study undertaken by James...Copy !req
857. James Glaisher.Copy !req
858. He believes
the sky can be understood.Copy !req
859. Of this I am well aware.Copy !req
860. He is, sadly,
occasionally wrong.Copy !req
861. He predicted it would snow
tonight, would you believe.Copy !req
862. But more often than not,
he finds remarkable truths.Copy !req
863. Travel with him,
and you will discover this.Copy !req
864. - I have.
- I'm sorry.Copy !req
865. I... I-I clearly told him no.Copy !req
866. He should not have sent you
to convince me.Copy !req
867. He didn't send me.Copy !req
868. He'd consider me
a poor persuader.Copy !req
869. - I'm here on my own account.
- You will not dissuade meCopy !req
870. - from my path, Mr. Trew.
- James believesCopy !req
871. there's something
extraordinary up there.Copy !req
872. And so this is an opportunity
I should not miss?Copy !req
873. You misunderstand me.Copy !req
874. It's not an opportunity
but an obligation.Copy !req
875. In this life, few are given
the chance to change the world.Copy !req
876. You've been assigned
a responsibility, Miss Wren.Copy !req
877. You have to meet it.Copy !req
878. Enjoy the book, madam.Copy !req
879. Height?
- Height, height.Copy !req
880. - Mm.
- 26,500 feet.Copy !req
881. 26... And temperature?Copy !req
882. And temperature...Copy !req
883. - five degrees Fahrenheit.
Five.Copy !req
884. It's the strangest thing.Copy !req
885. So, the higher that we fly,
the lower the humidity.Copy !req
886. There's barely any
water vapor here at all.Copy !req
887. There is still ice.Copy !req
888. These temperatures,
they're unprecedented.Copy !req
889. These are freezing ranges that
no one would have predicted.Copy !req
890. Yeah.Copy !req
891. And what was that temperature?Copy !req
892. Um, five degrees.Copy !req
893. Five...Copy !req
894. Oh, come on.Copy !req
895. Right.Copy !req
896. - Out you come.Copy !req
897. No concern necessary.Copy !req
898. We have another.Copy !req
899. We don't have another.Copy !req
900. What are you doing?Copy !req
901. - Losing weight.
- L-Losing weight?Copy !req
902. A mere consequence of
the decrease in air pressure.Copy !req
903. This-this balloon
isn't safe, James.Copy !req
904. And much more severe
than I'd anticipated.Copy !req
905. James, the-the pressure
on the material could leadCopy !req
906. - to rips, and at...
- The coal gas has expanded,
and...Copy !req
907. this altitude, these-these
rips could definitely be fatal.Copy !req
908. - What are you doing?Copy !req
909. We can't lose more weight!Copy !req
910. No!Copy !req
911. Give me the sandbag!Copy !req
912. It is time we descend.Copy !req
913. I will not stopCopy !req
914. because you can't withstand
a little pressure.Copy !req
915. Don't you see what's happening?Copy !req
916. James, the lack of oxygen
is affecting your brain.Copy !req
917. We're going to die
unless we descend now.Copy !req
918. Your husband risked your life
for his own recklessness.Copy !req
919. I do the same, but for science.Copy !req
920. - You know nothing
of my husband's death.Copy !req
921. It is well known that he pushed
harder than he should have.Copy !req
922. Now imagine that story again,Copy !req
923. and imagine this time
that I am the pilot...Copy !req
924. that h-he told me to stop,Copy !req
925. that I-I was risking
the balloon.Copy !req
926. How bad is the tear?Copy !req
927. The seams ripped apart.Copy !req
928. I... I fought...Copy !req
929. too hard for my place
at the table.Copy !req
930. We're falling too fast.Copy !req
931. We're going to die here!Copy !req
932. We need to lose more weight!Copy !req
933. Come on. There must be
something. Think. Think.Copy !req
934. - Yes. Yes.
- Think.Copy !req
935. Thank you for giving me
somewhere I belonged.Copy !req
936. Keep looking up.Copy !req
937. No! Pierre! No!Copy !req
938. Amelia.Copy !req
939. I'm so sorry.Copy !req
940. Do not...Copy !req
941. be responsible...Copy !req
942. for the death of another.Copy !req
943. It's one mistakeCopy !req
944. you'll never
forgive yourself for.Copy !req
945. I'm so sorry.Copy !req
946. Really, I am.Copy !req
947. Now...Copy !req
948. let's get this balloon down.Copy !req
949. Yes.Copy !req
950. I think...Copy !req
951. I-I think we've...Copy !req
952. discovered that oxygen is...Copy !req
953. Open, damn it.Copy !req
954. Open.Copy !req
955. Come on!Copy !req
956. Come on!Copy !req
957. Come on!Copy !req
958. James. James.Copy !req
959. - You have to keep moving.
- Yes.Copy !req
960. You... If you lay still,Copy !req
961. then-then the hypoxia
will set in.Copy !req
962. The gas release valve
is frozen.Copy !req
963. I... I need to climb up
and open it.Copy !req
964. Stay alive.Copy !req
965. - Stay alive.Copy !req
966. Stay alive.Copy !req
967. Amelia. Amelia.Copy !req
968. Regarde-moi.Copy !req
969. Thank you...Copy !req
970. for giving me
somewhere I belonged.Copy !req
971. - Should we have heard
anything by now?
- No.Copy !req
972. We'll only hear
if there's a disaster.Copy !req
973. The less we hear, the...Copy !req
974. better her chances.Copy !req
975. - Then we pray for silence?
- Yes.Copy !req
976. Pray for silence.Copy !req
977. Still no sign of them.Copy !req
978. Oh, God.Copy !req
979. James!Copy !req
980. Come on.Copy !req
981. Oh, God.Copy !req
982. Come on. James!Copy !req
983. - Come on.Copy !req
984. Come on.Copy !req
985. Come on.Copy !req
986. James.Copy !req
987. James. James.Copy !req
988. James.Copy !req
989. James.Copy !req
990. James, we've survived.Copy !req
991. We're going down.Copy !req
992. James.Copy !req
993. James, James.Copy !req
994. James.Copy !req
995. James?Copy !req
996. We're going down.Copy !req
997. I can't have this happen again.Copy !req
998. James.Copy !req
999. Your strange two-tube deviceCopy !req
1000. is doing something
very peculiar, you know.Copy !req
1001. You're meaning my hygrometer.Copy !req
1002. It's bubbling.Copy !req
1003. Could that not be significant?Copy !req
1004. It could.Copy !req
1005. We're descending.Copy !req
1006. We are.Copy !req
1007. I've been... insensible.Copy !req
1008. You have.Copy !req
1009. And I think I lost my head.Copy !req
1010. It does seem that way.Copy !req
1011. Well, come on, then.Copy !req
1012. one hour,Copy !req
1013. - 11 minutes and 19 seconds.Copy !req
1014. Height?Copy !req
1015. 28,600 feet.Copy !req
1016. Unknown.Copy !req
1017. That equipment's
been lost to us.Copy !req
1018. - And my hygrometer's
had better days.Copy !req
1019. This is of
no great use, either.Copy !req
1020. Our readings on the descent
shall be less significant.Copy !req
1021. Oh, your hands.Copy !req
1022. So, you didn't have room for
oils, but you did for brandy?Copy !req
1023. Well, a scientist is nothing
without his equipment.Copy !req
1024. - Hold out your hands.Copy !req
1025. What are you gonna do?Copy !req
1026. This is gonna hurt a bit.Copy !req
1027. I'm sorry,
but you need to hold them out.Copy !req
1028. - I know.Copy !req
1029. That hurt.Copy !req
1030. - Is that, uh, any better?
- No.Copy !req
1031. Worse.Copy !req
1032. I don't know
what you did for me up there,Copy !req
1033. but I have no doubt
that it was a great act.Copy !req
1034. - Your poor hands.
Look.Copy !req
1035. And now snow.Copy !req
1036. Oh.Copy !req
1037. As if we haven't had enough.Copy !req
1038. It'll pass.Copy !req
1039. It's possibly interesting
to analyze the melt water.Copy !req
1040. My sister wanted to knowCopy !req
1041. why I would ever
go up in a balloon again.Copy !req
1042. I think it was because
I wanted...Copy !req
1043. all that I knew,
all that he taught me...Copy !req
1044. all that I've lost
to be for something.Copy !req
1045. Well...Copy !req
1046. I need to make sense
of all of thisCopy !req
1047. before I can work out
quite what we've achieved,Copy !req
1048. but it, uh...Copy !req
1049. it seems that the atmosphere
has levels to it.Copy !req
1050. - That's-that's not what I mean.
- It has patterns within it.Copy !req
1051. Newton said that we build
too many wallsCopy !req
1052. - and not enough bridges.
- I don't want to hear
from Newton.Copy !req
1053. I want to hear from you.Copy !req
1054. All my life,
I've found comfort in science.Copy !req
1055. It helps give meaning to the
many things we can't control.Copy !req
1056. It brings a degree of order
to the...Copy !req
1057. chaos that surrounds us.Copy !req
1058. But whilst we may be able
to explain the scienceCopy !req
1059. behind an aureole
or the falling snow...Copy !req
1060. it's not possible
to account for its beauty.Copy !req
1061. Together...Copy !req
1062. we've brought
the stars closer.Copy !req
1063. We have brought
the stars closer.Copy !req
1064. Do you notice something
about the snow?Copy !req
1065. - It's not falling.Copy !req
1066. It's hovering.Copy !req
1067. It's static.Copy !req
1068. Strange. What might be...Copy !req
1069. We might, if we were traveling
at the same speed as it.Copy !req
1070. The same speed as snow?Copy !req
1071. The gas, it's still escaping.Copy !req
1072. Combined with the decrease
in pressure, it means...Copy !req
1073. That the balloon's collapsing.Copy !req
1074. Quick, help me!Copy !req
1075. Pull!Copy !req
1076. - Pull!Copy !req
1077. - What on earth was that?
- My shoe.Copy !req
1078. Probably best
not to question it.Copy !req
1079. But if your shoe was up there,
that means that...Copy !req
1080. Maybe we save the thanks
for later.Copy !req
1081. We need to lose weight.Copy !req
1082. A lot of weight. Now!Copy !req
1083. Come on.Copy !req
1084. The chest! The chest!Copy !req
1085. I'll do it.Copy !req
1086. - One, two.Copy !req
1087. We should lose our jackets.Copy !req
1088. My hands.Copy !req
1089. Help me.Copy !req
1090. Yeah. I'll do it.Copy !req
1091. Come on!Copy !req
1092. It's not working, Amelia!Copy !req
1093. It's not working!Copy !req
1094. Climb into the hoop.Copy !req
1095. - What?
- Amelia, climb into the hoop!Copy !req
1096. We need to lose the basket!
It's the heaviest weight!Copy !req
1097. Come on!Copy !req
1098. Quick!Copy !req
1099. Come on!Copy !req
1100. That's it!Copy !req
1101. - Come on!Copy !req
1102. - One more!Copy !req
1103. Hold on!Copy !req
1104. It's not enough!Copy !req
1105. - We're still too fast.
- It will be enough.Copy !req
1106. Amelia?Copy !req
1107. Amelia, what are you doing?Copy !req
1108. I'm not sure I was meant
to survive this.Copy !req
1109. Amelia, no! Get back down!Copy !req
1110. Amelia!Copy !req
1111. Amelia!Copy !req
1112. Bedsheets.Copy !req
1113. Amelia, bedsheets!Copy !req
1114. We sever the cord
keeping the balloon in shape,Copy !req
1115. and then the silk will be
pulled up into the nettingCopy !req
1116. and act as a parachute.Copy !req
1117. - It's not going to work!
- It will work!Copy !req
1118. I'm not returning alone.Copy !req
1119. Amelia, I'm not
returning alone.Copy !req
1120. It's either both of us
or neither of us.Copy !req
1121. Hold on!Copy !req
1122. We hold on!Copy !req
1123. Whoa!Copy !req
1124. It worked!Copy !req
1125. It worked!Copy !req
1126. It's not over yet.Copy !req
1127. James!Copy !req
1128. James!Copy !req
1129. James!Copy !req
1130. James!Copy !req
1131. James!Copy !req
1132. Amelia?Copy !req
1133. James!Copy !req
1134. - James!
- Amelia, I'm coming!Copy !req
1135. James!Copy !req
1136. - James!
- Amelia!Copy !req
1137. James.Copy !req
1138. Amelia!Copy !req
1139. James.Copy !req
1140. I was just coming to find you.Copy !req
1141. Not very quickly, it seems.Copy !req
1142. Can you stand?Copy !req
1143. I'd rather not.Copy !req
1144. And if I help you?Copy !req
1145. Then I would stand.Copy !req
1146. It was estimatedCopy !req
1147. that we rose to a height
of 37,000 feet that day.Copy !req
1148. Seven miles high.Copy !req
1149. "Two aeronautsCopy !req
1150. "have been nearer
to the Moon and starsCopy !req
1151. than all the race of man
before them."Copy !req
1152. The Times, Ethel.
You read it?Copy !req
1153. Yes, Arthur,
I've read it.Copy !req
1154. My boy.Copy !req
1155. James Glaisher's
meticulous recording of dataCopy !req
1156. showed that the atmosphere
has different layers within it,Copy !req
1157. a discovery which ledCopy !req
1158. to the first scientific
weather forecasts.Copy !req
1159. The fact that I am able
to be here at allCopy !req
1160. to present this to you
is due to some luck,Copy !req
1161. some help...Copy !req
1162. and Amelia Wren's
remarkable courage.Copy !req
1163. So, we tell our storyCopy !req
1164. not for the purposes
of pleasureCopy !req
1165. but for the advancement
of knowledge...Copy !req
1166. and for the good of us all.Copy !req
1167. We took to the skiesCopy !req
1168. in the name of discovery,
to find something new,Copy !req
1169. to change the world.Copy !req
1170. Come on! I've flown
in worse weather than this!Copy !req
1171. - We'll make pilots of you yet.Copy !req
1172. We won't.Copy !req
1173. But you don't change the worldCopy !req
1174. simply by looking at it.Copy !req
1175. You change it through the way
you choose to live in it.Copy !req
1176. Look up.Copy !req
1177. The sky lies open.Copy !req
