The Lost World (1999) s01e04 Episode Script
Nectar
What magnificent abundance.
I imagine the Garden of Eden must have been like this.
Without the dinosaurs and the ape-men.
Oh, yes my dear but every garden has its serpent.
Time to go home.
Come on, Professor.
My goodness, could that be an airplane? Get away from the flower! Now! Good God! Are you alright? I donÂt know.
Come on.
Ãy leg.
ItÂs not that bad.
- No no stay down.
IÂm making a tourniquet.
But, Veronica, IÂm not bleeding that badly.
ItÂs the bee venom.
ItÂs deadly.
At the dawn of the century A band of adventures set out to prove the impossible The existence of a prehistoric world The Visionary The Heiress The Hunter The Scientist and The Reporter All chasing the story of a lifetime Stranded in a savage land Befriended by an untamed beauty Together they fight to survive In this amazing world of lost civilizations and terrifying creatures.
Always searching for a way home.
A way out of  the Lost World NECTAR So, youÂre standing in front of an elephantine flower and you hear a buzzing sound.
I thought it was an airplane.
YouÂre a botanist for God sakes.
Anyone could have made the same mistake.
An Imbecile, now look what youÂve gone and done to yourself.
ThatÂs enough, let him rest.
No, heÂs right.
So, itÂs always fatal? IÂve never heard of anyone surviving.
How long? Two, maybe three days.
So, weÂve got forty eight hours to find an antidote.
What do you suggest? I just told you thereÂs nothing.
- There must be something, somebody.
Well think child youÂve lived here all your life.
Go easy she said she didnÂt know.
Unacceptable.
- ItÂs not her fault.
She was with him.
- Wait! There is someone.
à healer.
I think her name was Adama.
Where? I havenÂt been there since I was a child.
I donÂt know if I can find her.
WeÂll find her.
The sooner we get going the better.
IÂm coming with you.
- Okay.
Someone should stay with the Professor.
Florence Nightingale reporting for duty.
Must be those strong maternal instincts.
IÂll stay too.
I saw tracks this morning.
Ape-men? - TheyÂre getting brave again.
WeÂll be quick.
LetÂs go! We donÂt want to be stumbling through the jungle in the dark.
Feels like weÂve been walking for hours.
Which way? I donÂt know.
ItÂs been eighteen years.
She may not even be alive anymore.
No time for second thoughts.
SummerleeÂs counting on us.
Come on, think.
Is there a landmark, anything you can remember? You can do this, Veronica.
I donÂt know.
It all looks so different.
You got us this far.
Take a deep breath and relax.
Good.
Now use your instincts.
Forget what you see.
What do you feel? That way.
You know Arthur, it really is extraordinary the lengths to which you will go just to get attention.
Hope IÂm not disturbing you two.
Here, IÂm not very good at this sort of thing.
Modesty, from the great George Challenger.
What a surprise, I thought you were good at everything.
You know, where I come from women are not so bold.
Oh, how dull for you.
Any of this look familiar yet? I think so.
I think weÂre close.
There it is.
I knew you could do it.
Adama? Adama? Adama? She still lives here.
Well, someone definitely lives here.
What the hell is this place? Roxton! I must have dosed off for a moment.
How is he? Judging from his color his liverÂs beginning to fail.
His feverÂs worse.
There were some Boletus Mushrooms growing down by the pond.
If we boil them they may bring his fever down.
He needs more than that.
Where are they? I should have gone with them.
- And done what? It would have been better than the nothing weÂre doing here.
WeÂre not doing nothing.
WeÂre making him comfortable.
At least heÂll be among friends when he dies.
He is not going to die.
Here drink this youÂll feel better.
Forgive my welcome, but as I grow older I find myself less trusting of strangers.
Yes, donÂt we all.
As for your friend thereÂs nothing I can do.
ThereÂs no antidote? None that you could find.
But it exists? QueenÂs Bee Royal Jelly it is in the center of the hive.
Then thatÂs where weÂll go.
DonÂt be a fool.
Nothing human survives in the hive and even if you get in.
What? Twenty years ago a man stole honey from the hive.
He escaped with his life, but he brought destruction of upon us all.
How? The beeÂs tracked his scent back to our village.
They attacked, killed everyone except me and Ilura, my daughter.
My people had managed to kill one of them.
So, I cut it open the two of us hid ourselves inside its body, until the screaming stopped.
It wasnÂt long enough.
This bee thought Ilura was an injured drone and it carried her off.
I never saw her again.
It was along time ago.
If you journey to the hive it will not save your friends life.
You will only lose your own.
It just might work.
Ape-men! Thanks.
- Is that all of them? And the one I left on the trail.
Why, were you expecting more? No.
DonÂt lie, Challenger, you donÂt do it well.
I saw tracks this morning just outside the camp.
How many? - Eight, maybe ten.
ThatÂs why you stayed behind.
Where are you going? - To pack.
IÂm going to the Zanga village until the others get back.
Summerlee wonÂt make it.
The ape-men will kill us all if we stay.
Summerlee has spent half his adult life attacking you.
I donÂt understand why youÂre risking your neck for him now.
No, I donÂt suppose you would.
DonÂt try and make your guilt mine.
Summerlee isnÂt here because I goaded him into it.
We are all adults.
We all made choices, each of us are here for our own reasons.
Now itÂs time to get back to work.
I may have a way for us to survive.
You may go or you may stay.
Your choice.
IÂve been working on this for some time.
Behold the electric coil.
At least the condemned will eat a hearty meal.
Just what is that supposed to be? ItÂs an essential element in the production of electricity.
How is that going to protect us from the ape-men? Oh, I assure you, they will find it very shocking.
You will stay? Whatever it is it has better work.
That woman.
Adama? DonÂt get me wrong she had a lovely collection of eyes.
Is it just me or is she a little different.
Depends on where you come from.
This is New York sheÂd either be in a side show or an asylum.
WeÂre not in New York weÂre in her world.
As far as sheÂs concerned weÂre the crazy ones for trying to get into the hive.
Maybe sheÂs right.
You can go back anytime.
Summerlee means as much to me as he does to you, Roxton.
ItÂs okay, Malone, youÂd be crazy not to be scared.
ItÂs just with bees the size of iceboxes the learning curves a little steep.
Run fast stay alive.
Now according to her directions, we should be getting close.
Listen! The hive is just over that hill.
Come on then.
I can hear it but I canÂt see it.
So, you think the hive is in that mountain? IÂve got news for you, Malone, that mountain is the hive.
We canÂt chance firing their weapons.
Why not? - A gunshot this close to the hive? TheyÂll swarm.
WeÂd have a thousand bees on our tail.
How are we going to get inside if we canÂt shoot our way in? We wonÂt survive.
No human would.
Exactly my point.
And mine.
Is any of this making sense to you? I think so.
Adama survived the attack.
Because the bee thought she was one of them.
All we need is a dead bee.
We canÂt shoot one.
We going to wait Âtil one dies of old age? No.
Your kidding.
I did it once.
I can do it again.
I donÂt seem to have my usual appetite.
Water? Oh, IÂm fine thank you very much.
If you need anything else IÂll be in the next room.
If you donÂt mind youÂve been so kind already.
What is it? Stay.
Just a few more moments.
Sure I wonÂt disturb you? No not at all.
You could sit over there and read or IÂm being very foolish.
YouÂre going to be alright you know.
IÂm going to tell you a secret, my dear.
IÂm afraid to die alone.
- No, donÂt talk nonsense.
Years ago my wife contracted typhoid fever.
Doctors did all they could came down to a matter of days hours minutes and at the last I was a coward.
Professor, you donÂt have to.
- Anna was her name.
She wasnÂt even lucid at the end.
Certainly not the beautiful, laughing girl I married.
More like a raving fevered animal.
I couldnÂt stay, I couldnÂt watch.
Kept telling myself it wasnÂt her.
IÂm so sorry, Arthur.
It must have been horrible for Anna to go along without anyone there to hold her hand.
Black tar, next best thing to oil.
Marguerite? What are you doing here? I heard the shot I thought maybe you were in trouble.
YouÂve left Summerlee unprotected.
Next time IÂll let him eat you.
Piece of cake.
WhatÂs next? ItÂs time to become the bee.
You canÂt be serious.
The bodies gone.
- Ape-men eat their dead.
Charming.
- HowÂs the Professor? Sleeping finally.
- IÂm almost there.
If you say so.
The physics may be too complex for you.
Humor me, oh, great one.
Sufficed to say it involves magnetic fields and this meteorite that was good enough to join us from outer space.
So what are we waiting for? You.
- Me? In order for the device to work it I require a quantity of non-conducting fabric.
Silk is most desirable.
In other words madam, IÂm asking you to surrender your undergarments.
In the name of science of course.
What? Such a tableau of domestic tranquility.
IsnÂt it though? Ape-men poised to attack.
Ãe cutting up my own underwear.
Summerlee dying in the next room.
Ãh, real cozy.
To the London Zoological Society.
I Arthur Edward Summerlee Oh, god you do go on donÂt you.
I hear by attest to the full truthfulness and accuracy of Professor ChallengerÂs claim regarding the Lost World as my final act before death.
Before Death? Unacceptable.
You are not allowed to die.
Do you hear me? I am the leader of this expedition and I do not give you permission to die.
Quiet! YouÂll wake him up.
Do you know what this fool has done? - You can tell me outside.
Anna! ItÂs me, Marguerite.
- Anna, IÂm so sorry.
WhatÂs he talking about? - Hush now, lie back down.
I wanted to stay.
- HeÂs delusional poor chat.
Anna, IÂm sorry.
EverythingÂs alright, Arthur.
AnnaÂs here.
Lie back down, take my hand.
There see what a good husband you are.
Stay right here by my side.
Never leave me.
Never.
- Oh, Anna! Asleep again.
Each bee is checked by a sentry.
WeÂll have to pass the same inspection.
LetÂs hope they donÂt have a secret handshake.
IÂll go first.
If something goes wrong run like hell.
What about you? IÂll be dead.
Here goes nothing.
I guess we wonÂt be needing this.
- Keep it.
You never know.
Hard as a rock.
But itÂs wax.
Look at the size of this place.
ItÂs the giant maze.
WeÂre never going to find the queenÂs chamber.
Then SummerleeÂs dead.
Ennie meenie minie.
Moe it is.
This way.
- How do you know? Instinct.
- Weapons ready.
Honey.
- Come on, keep up.
Would you look at this place.
Ãhere must be hundreds of them.
Try thousands.
- Hatching areas for eggs.
Good that means weÂre close to the queen.
Worker bee.
- In there.
Veronica, are you alright? IÂve been better.
Oh, boy.
Take my arm.
ThereÂs something in here with me.
- Come a little closer.
Stop kicking your legs so we can grab you.
I donÂt know what it is.
- IÂm going in grab my ankles.
What was that? - Trouble.
But it sounded almost human.
- Nothing human sounds like that.
Hold on! Roxton, you were right.
- Come on.
You okay? I am now.
We just found the queenÂs chamber.
Where? ThatÂs a long way down.
There are footholds in the honeycombs.
We can climb down.
DidnÂt come all this way for nothing.
- LetÂs do it.
All done.
- As am I.
I hope you know what youÂre doing.
Really Miss.
Krux your lack of faith is becoming disturbing.
LetÂs just say I donÂt take anything for granted.
Rules are different out here.
The fundamental principles of science are not.
NowÂs your chance to prove me wrong.
Any time now.
Somedays I hate being right.
Here.
What youÂre doing? Saving your arrogant ass.
I bought you an hour.
Did you hear that? - Hear what? Just bees, come on.
- I guess your right.
I could have sworn I heard footsteps though.
Footsteps? ThatÂs impossible.
This whole place is impossible, Malone.
There look.
Footprints.
- Small barefoot.
Definitely human.
The scream.
What the hell have we gotten ourselves into? There itÂs ready.
More ready than last time? Mans greatest gift is the power of his intellect.
Oh, do shut up.
I cut up my silk underwear for this.
I gotta hand it to you, you really are a genius.
Let me guess.
The queen.
Look at the size of her.
She must be centuries old.
Royal jelly.
LetÂs get it and get out here.
That does not belong to you.
We only need a little to save a friends life.
We mean you no harm.
You have killed one of my brothers, murdered one of the babies.
You have already caused us harm.
These are not your brothers.
YouÂre human like us.
I am nothing like you.
The punishment for murder is death.
Oh, my god.
Your Ilura.
What did you say? Ilura, donÂt you understand? ItÂs your mother who sent us here - Adama? This is my mother.
The only mother IÂve ever known.
ThatÂs not true.
If you remember your name you must remember your mother.
Her voice singing you to sleep, her arms holding you up to the sunlight.
ThatÂs right, remember your village.
The attack before the hive.
- Before the hive there was nothing.
I was nothing.
Now I am at one with them.
I fee the wind caressing each wing.
Share the joy of drinking from the blossom.
I am more than their queen I am their heart.
Ãhe soul itself of the hive.
The memories you offer they have nothing to give me.
ThatÂs too bad.
WeÂll have to do this the hard way.
LetÂs go! I donÂt know if you can hear me, Arthur.
But it really is pathetic the lengths to whichyou will go just to get some attention.
Not often I get the last word.
I know weÂve not always seen eye to eye professionally speaking that is.
But personally and I never told you this because I knew you would use it against me.
In some ways I envy you.
Not your myopic scientific view of the natural world, but certain qualities.
Your sense of humor, your humanity and your children.
Peace there, friend.
Peace.
I think he heard you.
I didnÂt mean to eavesdrop.
- Little matter now.
Early warning system? One way to find out.
Persistent little buggers arenÂt they? No second chances this time around.
- ItÂll work.
IÂd stake my life on it.
- You already did.
I think theyÂre beginning to get the message.
IÂll take the first watch just in case.
YouÂll look after Summerlee.
And, Challenger Well done.
- Yes.
If only I could heal as effectively as I managed to kill.
DonÂt move.
- And I thought bees didnÂt see well.
Ilura does.
- WeÂre trapped.
WeÂll make our stand here.
How the hell do we do that? - A life for a life.
Stay back.
Over there, come on.
Ilura, come with us the hive is dying.
Come with us! Come home! I am home.
Ilura! SheÂs gone.
We have to go.
We failed.
We survived.
The hive is gone and the royal jelly with it.
What are we going to tell Professor Summerlee? How about get well soon.
This tea is delicious.
WhatÂs in it? Trust me, not a question you want to ask.
Orange blossom, jasmine an eel or two.
I donÂt care what you put in it.
IÂm not the man to refuse one of your potions.
Ãfter all without your antidote IÂd be nothing more than a hopefully fond memory.
It was the royal jelly that cured you.
YouÂve your friends to thank for that.
Nevertheless there is something IÂd like to give you.
A small token.
ItÂs whatÂs left of the royal jelly.
Maybe it will help save another life.
One day perhaps the bees will return.
I hope not.
Do you know for the first time since Ilura was taken, IÂve managed to sleep without the nightmares.
Tell me, when you were there in the hive did you see, I mean was there anything, any sign that Ilura might of survived? We - IÂm sorry, Adama, but your daughter nothing human survives the hive.
I imagine the Garden of Eden must have been like this.
Without the dinosaurs and the ape-men.
Oh, yes my dear but every garden has its serpent.
Time to go home.
Come on, Professor.
My goodness, could that be an airplane? Get away from the flower! Now! Good God! Are you alright? I donÂt know.
Come on.
Ãy leg.
ItÂs not that bad.
- No no stay down.
IÂm making a tourniquet.
But, Veronica, IÂm not bleeding that badly.
ItÂs the bee venom.
ItÂs deadly.

Veronica, are you alright? IÂve been better.
Oh, boy.
Take my arm.
ThereÂs something in here with me.
- Come a little closer.
Stop kicking your legs so we can grab you.
I donÂt know what it is.
- IÂm going in grab my ankles.
What was that? - Trouble.
But it sounded almost human.
- Nothing human sounds like that.
Hold on! Roxton, you were right.
- Come on.
You okay? I am now.
We just found the queenÂs chamber.
Where? ThatÂs a long way down.
There are footholds in the honeycombs.
We can climb down.
DidnÂt come all this way for nothing.
- LetÂs do it.
All done.
- As am I.
I hope you know what youÂre doing.
Really Miss.
Krux your lack of faith is becoming disturbing.
LetÂs just say I donÂt take anything for granted.
Rules are different out here.
The fundamental principles of science are not.
NowÂs your chance to prove me wrong.
Any time now.
Somedays I hate being right.
Here.
What youÂre doing? Saving your arrogant ass.
I bought you an hour.
Did you hear that? - Hear what? Just bees, come on.
- I guess your right.
I could have sworn I heard footsteps though.
Footsteps? ThatÂs impossible.
This whole place is impossible, Malone.
There look.
Footprints.
- Small barefoot.
Definitely human.
The scream.
What the hell have we gotten ourselves into? There itÂs ready.
More ready than last time? Mans greatest gift is the power of his intellect.
Oh, do shut up.
I cut up my silk underwear for this.
I gotta hand it to you, you really are a genius.
Let me guess.
The queen.
Look at the size of her.
She must be centuries old.
Royal jelly.
LetÂs get it and get out here.
That does not belong to you.
We only need a little to save a friends life.
We mean you no harm.
You have killed one of my brothers, murdered one of the babies.
You have already caused us harm.
These are not your brothers.
YouÂre human like us.
I am nothing like you.
The punishment for murder is death.
Oh, my god.
Your Ilura.
What did you say? Ilura, donÂt you understand? ItÂs your mother who sent us here - Adama? This is my mother.
The only mother IÂve ever known.
ThatÂs not true.
If you remember your name you must remember your mother.
Her voice singing you to sleep, her arms holding you up to the sunlight.
ThatÂs right, remember your village.
The attack before the hive.
- Before the hive there was nothing.
I was nothing.
Now I am at one with them.
I fee the wind caressing each wing.
Share the joy of drinking from the blossom.
I am more than their queen I am their heart.
Ãhe soul itself of the hive.
The memories you offer they have nothing to give me.
ThatÂs too bad.
WeÂll have to do this the hard way.
LetÂs go! I donÂt know if you can hear me, Arthur.
But it really is pathetic the lengths to whichyou will go just to get some attention.
Not often I get the last word.
I know weÂve not always seen eye to eye professionally speaking that is.
But personally and I never told you this because I knew you would use it against me.
In some ways I envy you.
Not your myopic scientific view of the natural world, but certain qualities.
Your sense of humor, your humanity and your children.
Peace there, friend.
Peace.
I think he heard you.
I didnÂt mean to eavesdrop.
- Little matter now.
Early warning system? One way to find out.
Persistent little buggers arenÂt they? No second chances this time around.
- ItÂll work.
IÂd stake my life on it.
- You already did.
I think theyÂre beginning to get the message.
IÂll take the first watch just in case.
YouÂll look after Summerlee.
And, Challenger Well done.
- Yes.
If only I could heal as effectively as I managed to kill.
DonÂt move.
- And I thought bees didnÂt see well.
Ilura does.
- WeÂre trapped.
WeÂll make our stand here.
How the hell do we do that? - A life for a life.
Stay back.
Over there, come on.
Ilura, come with us the hive is dying.
Come with us! Come home! I am home.
Ilura! SheÂs gone.
We have to go.
We failed.
We survived.
The hive is gone and the royal jelly with it.
What are we going to tell Professor Summerlee? How about get well soon.
This tea is delicious.
WhatÂs in it? Trust me, not a question you want to ask.
Orange blossom, jasmine an eel or two.
I donÂt care what you put in it.
IÂm not the man to refuse one of your potions.
Ãfter all without your antidote IÂd be nothing more than a hopefully fond memory.
It was the royal jelly that cured you.
YouÂve your friends to thank for that.
Nevertheless there is something IÂd like to give you.
A small token.
ItÂs whatÂs left of the royal jelly.
Maybe it will help save another life.
One day perhaps the bees will return.
I hope not.
Do you know for the first time since Ilura was taken, IÂve managed to sleep without the nightmares.
Tell me, when you were there in the hive did you see, I mean was there anything, any sign that Ilura might of survived? We - IÂm sorry, Adama, but your daughter nothing human survives the hive.
