Of course not.

l think he is dead Sir.

What do you think how long will this storm last?

lt's just starting!

Captain Grant! What are you doing?

Spilett! Are you mad?

lf we capsize he's going to be shark bait!

lf we capsize we all are going to be shark bait!

Don't worry about me! Bail water out of the boat!

Take care of yourselves!

Thank you Captain!

Some day somebody will land

here and stand in front of our graves.

Unless somebody is still alive.

Have you any idea how far we have drifted?

- We are shortly before hell!

There's nothing going to save us!

Pencroff a fire!

That was the best idea Mr. Smith ever had!

Spilett we've been sailing like the flying Dutchman!

Do you think we can still make it Pencroff?

- For sure Sir!

Don't forget:
you've got Pencroff as your helmsman!

We've made it!

Catch me again!

Welcome home!

Grant! Where are you going? We are friends!

Captain Grant!

l'll never forget that lesson!

- We were worried about you.

- lt probably wasn't a joyride.

No l've spent more joyful nights.

- lf you didn't light the fire on top of the cliff who

knows where we would be now.

Fire? What fire?

On top of the cliff!

We didn't start a fire.

But we have seen it!

We have seen it from far away.

What is that supposed to mean?

We are not alone.

The light came from here.

Here is a lamp.

Come on Top. Get him!

Search him!

Search!

He's got to be here somewhere.

Why do you stop? We'll get him!

No! This man saved our lives.

That's what l've been thinking.

We're leaving Sir! Don't be afraid!

Can you tell us how we get away of this island?

Alright he saved our lives.

But people who hide in the underground of an island

there must be something wrong!

- One thing is for sure. There must be more people

on this island than we think.

You need a lot of people to run these machines.

And there is this mad man we've brought along.

- l think that Captain Grant will going to be

reasonable. Remember what he went through!

- l do remember.

But nevertheless l will pull up the ladder at night.

We'll let him rest.

l think we go to bed as well.

Shouldn't somebody keep watch?

- Yes. l don't want that

he escapes prior to talking to him.

He's not going to escape.

And his friends won't be able

to get him once l've pulled up the ladder.

l'll take the first shift.

With a good pipe.

Good. l'll take second shift.

And l'll take third.

And when is my turn?

You're going to bed.

But... - Harbert!

You'll sleep!

When it's stormy and ships are sinking...

... it's time for Nemo's Nautilus to look for booties.

Sirens are whispering...

... who is he going to catch?

Who is he going to catch?

He was gruesome and full of tricks...

... he was always on guard...

... but no one could threaten him

he simply laughed at them.

The grave is the loneliness...

... who wants to go inside?

Pencroff! - Yes?

Who wants to go inside?

Mr. Smith! - Yes Spilett?

Something is swimming in the water.

l've just discovered it.

lt's drifting towards the beach.

- What do you think it is?

- l don't know.

Let's take a look.

Nab you'll stay in the cave

and keep watch at our friend.

Yes Sir.

Come along Top.

You'll rather stay with me.

Hey Pencroff!

That should be a piece of cake to get this thing out.

That's probably from a ship

which got caught in the storm.

Ships must be passing here!

Harbert! Come over here!

That's not possible that flotsam

will drift that fast to the beach.

Especially notjust one single piece.

Besides they must have had

a lot of time to build such a box.

Swim over there and hold on tight.

Quiet!

Pull!

Quiet!

Good boy. You're a good boy.

Don't run away!

We won't harm you! Come back!

Pretty heavy.

What would you say Pencroff

if the box was filled with gold?

Mr. Smith would know what we could do with it.

Doesn't look like it was in the water for long.

- Yes l agree.

Otherwise there were traces of shells and accretion.

lt looks like it was packed yesterday.

Maybe there was a ship that sunk during the storm. .

l don't want to harm you!

Don'tjump! That'll be your death!

Mr. Smith!

The man has killed himself!

What? How could that happen?

He jumped into the water lode.

l ran after him. He didn't surface.

But the water lode leads to the sea.

Yes and the ebb-tide will drag him on to the sea.

Don't worry Nab. He didn't kill himself. He escaped.

The most sophisticated l have seen.

A pair of binoculars.

A compass.

Here!

A small compass...

... several nautical charts

... and 3 sheets of ship construction plans.

Everything is there.

Everything we need to build a boat and get away.

Whoever packed this box was a farsighted man.

Would you be so kind and put down the rifle

Pencroff?

l know it's not loaded. But it makes me nervous.

Once you've got something like

this in your hands you are a hero.

The greatest men in history

never had a gun in their hands.

They didn't have to cope with

Papuas or Malaysian pirates.

Well what do you think of all this Gideon?

- l've got the notion that the

owner of this island wants to get rid of us.

- Do you think the people who were shooting those

flashes have sent us this box?

l'm convinced about that.

Where ever it comes from. lt's heaven sent!

Come on Harbert. We've got work to do.

lt's as sharp as a razorblade.

May l?

l think he's becoming reasonable.

He's eating the food Harbert has given to him.

lt's not going to take long and he will

put on the clothes we've given to him.

He's coming! No don't react!

l would like to talk to you.

Come over here!

How long am l on this island?

About 1 and a half months.

We've found your message in that bottle.

So we went to the Tabor island and picked you up.

Message in a bottle?

l have never thrown a bottle into the sea.

Are you sure?

l don't know. l can't remember.

l have never had a bottle.

l have lived like an animal.

Like a wild animal. For years.

You wanted to talk to us.

Talk to you? Yes.

l wanted to tell you who l am.

We know who you are.

You are Captain Grant.

No l'm not Captain Grant.

l am not Captain Grant!

His children wanted to know

what happened to her father.

He was on the Duncan under the command of Lord

Glenawan and he told me:

Ayrton that's my name

do you know where Grant's ship has sunk?

And l said yes.

He hired me to show him the way.

But this was simply a mere pretence.

ln reality l am Ben Joyce.

l have never said that l was Captain Grant!

l am the infamous Ben Joyce!

l have never heard that name before.

Why should we know you?

Enlighten us!

l am Ben Joyce! You should be afraid of my name!

Ben Joyce!

l have no idea who this Ben Joyce is supposed to be.

But l won't leave the cave without my rifle anymore.

Strange guy. - What a day!

l'm going to sleep.

But dinner's ready Mr. Spilett.

lf we built the body higher

we will have much more space.

Do we really need such a big ship Pencroff?

We may have to go several thousand miles.
