00:24The Explorers
00:46The Explorers
01:08The Explorers
01:11The Explorers
01:26And to offer the sum to the souls
01:38After all these explorers we've already discussed, one might think that in the second half of the 18th century...
01:45Now all the continents have been discovered and carefully mapped.
01:48Well no, we're still looking for the great southern continent, the one that would balance the mass
01:54Earthly. Do you remember?
01:57I am certain of it, this continent exists, Sir Charles. It is up to you, as the first in command, to
02:01the Admiralty, to organize an expedition.
02:03Yes, it is true that the French sent Mr. de Bougainville to search for this continent. And we must...
02:08Go too. But to command such an expedition, I need an exceptional man, Mr. Tarlimple.
02:14But I am a learned geographer, a member of the Royal Society.
02:18I am an officer, and as you know, a very close relative of Lormer.
02:21And I am the Earl of Northumber Folk. I am quite willing to finance this expedition if I
02:26The order, of course.
02:27Gentlemen, I beg you, we need a man who has proven himself as a sailor, who is also
02:31a good mathematician and astronomer in order to establish maps and above all to be an encouragement in all circumstances.
02:37My choice has fallen on Mr. James Cook. Bring him in.
02:46But after all, he's a peasant's son.
02:48He didn't even attend university.
02:51This commoner is only a non-commissioned officer.
02:54Mr. Cook, I know you come from humble origins, but I appreciate your merit, your knowledge, and your bravery.
03:00You have also been promoted to the rank of lieutenant commander. Which ship will you be using for this expedition?
03:05A vessel with a low stern profile for navigating in shallow waters.
03:08A stable and spacious ship to carry scientific equipment as well as provisions for two years.
03:14Finally, a ship of great sturdiness.
03:16A rare bird indeed. And do you know of such a ship?
03:20Yes, sister, a charcoal burner.
03:21Hey, what? Well, you're a coal miner.
03:23This is unworthy of a royal expedition.
03:25I wouldn't set foot in his house.
03:28And why not, Mr. Cook, I should have thought of that.
03:31Yes, yes, I am making Lieutenant Charles Clercq available to you; he will be of invaluable help to you.
03:36Your official mission will primarily be to conduct astronomical observations,
03:40but you will also be able to take possession of some land in the name of her gracious majesty.
03:46And Mr. Clercq...
03:47That's wide!
03:53Oh! But, but, but, but what a clumsy oaf!
03:58Here is the ship in question, Mr. Clercq.
04:01It needs some changes.
04:03Complete cleaning, hull reinforcement,
04:06installation of four cabins,
04:07treatment against slugs.
04:09We will also install some light pivoting cannons,
04:12replace the mast which is too long,
04:13and modify the sails accordingly.
04:1634,000 pounds of bread, 10,000 pounds of flour,
04:181,200 gallons of beer,
04:207,000 pounds of pork and 7,000 pounds of sauerkraut.
04:237,000 pounds?
04:24Do you like sauerkraut, Captain?
04:26Sauerkraut, Mr. Clercq, protects against scurvy.
04:29sailors' disease.
04:30And here is Mr. Joseph Borgnes,
04:32naturalist of the Royal Society.
04:34Welcome.
04:35I am obviously coming with my assistants.
04:38A botanist, a painter, a draftsman,
04:41my scientific secretary,
04:42my servants,
04:44my equipment and my dogs.
04:46And that's all?
04:47Are you sure?
05:08It goes without saying that this is our astronomer, Mr. Green.
05:14And finally, a goat to provide fresh milk for the officers.
05:17Nick, get on board!
05:20Okay, let's go.
05:22I think we're all here.
05:23I'd been dreaming of this trip, if you only knew.
05:26You're not losing anything by waiting, you silly goose.
05:41After a year of travel,
05:42The crew can finally take a well-deserved rest.
05:44to Tahiti, which Bougainville had visited the previous year.
05:47Good !
06:01Good !
06:07Now, heading south.
06:09We're going to see if this famous continent really exists.
06:18If this continent exists, it is well hidden.
06:49I showed them, I have some kind of savages!
06:51No, stop!
06:52These people think we have bad intentions.
06:54We are not going to take advantage of the superiority that our weapons give us.
06:58Look!
07:01Get back on board quickly!
07:08Since you like making noise, fire a cannon shot, but fire it into the air.
07:23Cook toured New Zealand, then continued on to Tasmania.
07:30Captain, we've spotted land straight ahead, perhaps the famous continent?
07:36No, Charles, according to my calculations, it must be New Holland.
07:39Nowadays, we say Australia.
07:42We need to find a sheltered bay, let's head north.
08:05Oh, look at that! We've never seen anything like it.
08:29How wonderful!
08:31These plants are unknown!
08:32destructive demands from New Holland.
08:49Look at me, Makes-Main.
09:02After the forkers of New Holland,
09:14A duck?
09:15Oh, look at that! A duck with four legs!
09:18But that's interesting, four legs!
09:24Beautiful collection. From now on, we will call this cove the botanical bay.
09:29And it is here that, twenty years later,
09:31the first Australians, convicts whom England wanted to get rid of,
09:36will build the city of Sydney.
09:40Come and see.
09:45Fires.
09:47So, men. Probably as much water as you need.
09:50Oh, that's interesting. Let's go.
10:11They are a peaceful people.
10:12They live simply and are happy.
10:14Let them be.
10:27They live.
10:28We'll get them.
10:30They live.
10:32We'll get them.
10:35Ec, that's how long it lasted.
10:38No, they are alive.
10:41No, they are alive.
10:42No, they are alive.
10:43But that's it, that's what it isn't.
10:44Aren't they things?
10:44There isn't one.
10:45No, they are alive.
10:45No, they are alive.
10:59Come on, hurry up!
11:06That thing looks dangerous
11:1730 meters, 29
11:19Careful, it's climbing very fast, captain.
11:2110 meters, more than 9
11:23Drop anchor, lower the sails
11:30Oh, it was about time!
11:31Chaloup, not the sea
11:44Look
11:46Coral reefs
11:47Sharp as knife blades
12:04We approached a reef
12:06He pierced the hull
12:07To the bridge, quickly, quickly
12:09The lifeboats were put to sea with orders.
12:17Wet the andres
12:22Come on
12:26Ah, it's not moving.
12:31The ship needs to be lightened.
12:41The tide is rising
12:42We should disconnect
12:44No, that's not enough.
12:45The glasses, which the masts
13:00Now that's a leader!
13:02The tide will be high at 10 o'clock this evening.
13:04Everyone should be ready
13:08Now, go
13:09Come on, come on, everyone!
13:15Save
13:18The ship is still taking on water, captain
13:21A sail is needed to block the waterway.
13:22Okay, 1, 2, 3, jump!
13:32Find him a well-hidden criterion, we'll follow you
13:47Look at that
13:47If that rock hadn't plugged the hole, we would have been lost.
13:50It will take nearly two months for this boat to be repaired and operational.
13:54Okay, let's get to work.
13:55Ah, I'll have time to take samples
14:01We want to see the gold sandwich
14:03The First Lord of the Admiralty
14:05But that's because His Excellency is very busy.
14:07Go tell him that Captain Cook is here
14:09Captain Cook is Lieutenant Cook
14:11Ah, Captain Cook, I still remember that memorable reception
14:14The one given by Her Majesty upon your return from your trip
14:17Grandiose
14:18You have proven that this continent does not exist, Cook
14:20But you mentioned a passage to the Atlantic via the North Pacific
14:24The Northwest Passage
14:26We would need, you see, an experienced captain to explore this passage
14:31Do you have any ideas, Cook?
14:36If you wish, I will go, Your Excellency.
14:38Me too
14:40Well, well, I didn't dare ask you that, Mr. Cook.
14:43Since that is the case, I have the honor to appoint you to the rank of Commander in the Royal Navy
14:49And Mr. Clercq, you are appointed captain.
14:52Please stay, gentlemen, I'll get some sandwiches brought in.
14:54Sandwiches? So, sandwiches?
14:57Yes, it's one of my inventions.
14:58This allows you to have lunch while working.
15:00Ah, very good.
15:04The sandwich is an excellent invention.
15:31And Cook discovers the Hawaiian Islands
15:35Two large islands, what shall we call them?
15:38The Sandwich Islands, of course
15:40In honor of the first north
15:45No, no, the god left a long time ago
15:50We will return one day
15:51And on that day, he will bring prosperity
15:55Quick, quick, come and see!
15:57There are large temples that float on the sea
16:01Let's go, come on, come on, come together
16:04Oh, oh, oh, oh
16:18So, we have, oh, oh
16:21He thinks you're a brick wall.
16:23At least they'll help us get supplies.
16:25We need to be in the north from the beginning of summer.
16:42Lower the sails
16:44Captain, the ship is taking on water, the hold is filling up.
16:47To the bridge, quickly!
16:54SO ?
16:55We need to find shelter to repair
17:01For everyone?
17:06We need to find a circle
17:16Arranged...
17:17It's a victory
17:42No, that's not the passage.
17:44We've tried 20 times already. Let's continue north.
17:48Here, we should reach the strait that was discovered by Bering half a century ago.
17:52On the left is Asia. On the right is America.
18:04We are in Asia. We will continue towards the northeast.
18:08If a passage exists, it will be there.
18:18We must have crossed the Arctic Circle.
18:21What lies behind this wall of ice?
18:23Nick, climb the mast.
18:30No passage, none at all!
18:31I suspected as much.
18:33We will follow the coast eastward.
18:38It is midnight, but in summer in this region, there is no night.
18:42Let's go to sleep.
18:47Captain! Captain!
18:49Wait a minute, what's going on?
18:50The ice is closing, Captain.
18:52If we continue like this, we won't be able to move anymore.
18:54I'm coming.
18:56The ships need to be cleared.
18:58Everyone to work.
19:09It was about time.
19:10A little more and we would have spent the winter in the ice.
19:13Now we will follow the Siberian coast westward.
19:16There might be a passage to Europe.
19:21Go and see.
19:26Completely blocked.
19:28Ice as far as the eye can see.
19:29Okay, let's go back to the Sandwich Islands.
19:31We will try again in the spring.
19:34Cook therefore returns to Hawaii,
19:35where he had been so well received,
19:36to give his crew some rest.
19:38He is completely unaware of the fate that awaits him there.
19:48He gave me a boat, like a good boy.
20:15No doubt about it, they chose you as their God.
20:39Listen Charles, these people are happy.
20:41They are in good health.
20:42We risk transmitting it to them
20:44all sorts of diseases against which
20:45They are defenseless.
20:47Our men have been at sea for over a year
20:49might misbehave.
20:50They must be forbidden from going ashore
20:51and prohibit the natives from boarding.
20:54Not easy.
20:55We are forbidden from going ashore.
20:56Only officers are allowed.
20:58That's not fair.
20:59I'm going to go.
21:01But me too.
21:16I'll leave it to you.
21:18It's nóp saya- koyé.
21:22I exhale.
21:23I want to go.
21:26We can't go there.
21:34Do you really think he's the god Lono?
21:36These men call him Cook, not Lono
21:38Now he has to leave, he has to leave quickly.
21:40There are more and more fights.
21:42The men disobey and go ashore
21:43I can't put everyone in the iron
21:45So, let's go!
22:00Lower the sails, quickly!
22:19We were forced to return
22:21We need a tree to rebuild a mast
22:31They will accept five of our men on land, no more.
22:34That will be enough; I want to avoid any incident.
22:42We'll come back to get you tomorrow morning.
22:55Oh, they stole the boat!
22:56Wow!
22:58We're going to take one of theirs.
22:59All right
23:04Why are they doing this?
23:05However, they were welcomed warmly.
23:07Oh, they stole our rowboat!
23:09It's not going to happen like that.
23:13I'm going to show them these savages!
23:14What wood am I running from?
23:22Above all, do not shoot
23:24Easy, children, watch out for their weapons
23:32Oh no, no, no, no, no
23:35No, no, no
23:40Don't move, Frenchman
23:42A ball
23:44Come on !
23:45Well, go ahead!
23:48Oh, what a shame!
23:52No, no
24:00Captain Cook is dead
24:06Hello, Sturon and everyone
24:10Stop, I'm taking command
24:12I order you to get back on board.
24:14I command you, whoever disobeys will be hanged.
24:22It was an accident, and we were the ones who fired first.
24:25This massacre had to be avoided.
24:28Look!
24:38Wait, oh
24:39May God have mercy on his soul and may his body be returned to the peaceful ocean he loved so much.
24:48Cook will leave to posterity the first true map of the Pacific Ocean
24:54He was the first explorer who sought neither gold nor treasure.
24:58Only knowledge
25:07The explorers
25:10They discovered the world, they made the earth round
25:13These synopaths
25:15They will still find ways to forge their own paths.
25:18And then offer them to the souls
25:21Like offering a beautiful woman
25:24To you, to us, to me
25:26I believe
