Marguerite is holding Roxton’s hat.] Marguerite: Find something? Veronica: Yeah, Summerlee’s pistol in these rocks. Marguerite: How could they all just disappear? At least we should have found the bodies. Veronica: It’s the jungle, anything could happen. Marguerite: It’s not the jungle it’s Tribune and his raiders. Do you really think they have a chance? Veronica: We didn’t find any bodies the river is quite deep if they landed in the middle. Marguerite: You’re not a very good liar. Veronica: Cavemen! [Cavemen attack Marguerite and Veronica. A fight breaks out.] Veronica: Behind you! [The fight continues. Marguerite shoots the last caveman standing.] Marguerite: Now where were we before we were so rudely interrupted? Veronica: Let’s go downstream. Marguerite: Of course, it’s the way the bodies would float. What if we’re all alone? Veronica: Then I’ll have to take care of you. Challenger will turn this into another experiment; Summerlee will just be taking notes and Ned… Marguerite: Is a war corresponded he survived the Great War. Veronica: Sure they’ll all be fine. [Veronica and Marguerite are caught and lifted off the ground by the trap.] Marguerite: What is this thing? Veronica: Creeper Vine it tends to stick to what ever it grabs on to. Marguerite: Hurry [They see Challenger on the ground.] Challenger: Marguerite, Veronica. Veronica: Professor Challenger. Challenger: What the hell are you doing in there? Marguerite: Well I should think that’s obvious. Challenger: I didn’t expect I mean what a sight for sore eyes. Veronica: Are you all right? Challenger: Practically without a scratch. Marguerite: Enough chitchat would you mind sending us free? Challenger: Oh yeah I’m sorry. [Challenger grabs the release. Marguerite and Veronica fall to the ground none too gently.] [Scene: The river] Marguerite: How did you survive the drop? Challenger: It was quite miraculous. First the jungle canopy broke my fall and then that Creeper vine snagged me; left me hanging just six foot above the ground. Veronica: That’s amazing. Challenger: Oh fortunately someone had set that trap. Marguerite: Someone or something. Veronica: We found caveman upriver. Challenger: Troglodytes - on this part of the plateau? Veronica: They may be getting smarter. Marguerite: Smart being the operative word. Challenger: Isn’t that a fascinating development? Once I got myself out of the trap I reset it. I never thought I’d catch anything quite so tasty. Marguerite: George really, eyes are bigger than your stomach. Challenger: Any sign of the others? Marguerite: We found Summerlee’s pistol. Veronica: And Roxton’s hat under the bridge. Challenger: But no sign of them – or Malone? Marguerite: No sign. Veronica: Yet [Scene: A Pterodactyl nest – Malone regains consciousness lying within the nest perched on the side of a cliff. He tries to climb up the cliff. The Pterodactyl flies by and knocks Malone over, causing him to hang off the edge of the nest. It grabs Malone’s leg and carries him away.] [Veronica, Challenger and Marguerite see Malone in the sky.] Veronica: Ned Challenger: Malone [Malone is whacking the Pterodactyl with a tree branch he was left holding from the nest.] Malone: Overgrown pigeon. [Marguerite aims her pistol at the Pterodactyl.] Veronica: No don’t shoot you’ll hit him Marguerite: I think maybe that’s a chance he’d like me to take. [Marguerite shoots the Pterodactyl. It drops Malone in the river below.] [Scene: The river – Challenger is tending to Malone’s wounds.] Veronica: Are you all right? Malone: All things considered. Oww Challenger: Oh be quiet and be still. Marguerite: He’s not coming back. Not even for a tidbit as tasty as Malone. Malone: Never got a taste of me. Veronica: Good thing we never would have found you then. It would have spit you out miles away. Malone: Oww okay that hurts. Challenger: It looks ugly but I don’t think it’s too serious. Veronica: Here’s some Yarrow it helps cuts heal faster. Challenger: Once we get this cleaned up and a good night’s rest then we can start. Malone: No we still got lots of daylight left. Veronica: Why wait? Marguerite: You said yourself it’s not serious. Challenger: There’s not serious and then there’s foolhardy. Malone: The longer we wait. Veronica: The less chance we have of finding Roxton and Summerlee. Marguerite: If they’re still alive. Challenger: Let’s be logical. Malone: Logical? I landed in a Pterodactyl nest. Veronica: You were saved by the jungle canopy. Malone: Figure the odds on that. Challenger: Well when you put it that way. I suppose I could be convinced to put my money on Lord John Roxton. [Scene: The river – Roxton’s arm is tangled up in branches being carried along the rapids.] [Fade Out] [Scene: The river – Tribune, on horseback, is on the shore watching Roxton’s struggles to get free.] Tribune: Such a pity really I hate to see a good fighting man go to waste. Roxton: Well that didn’t stop you bombing the bridge and dumping me here in the first place. Tribune: What’s a lizard to do? I had a rebellion to put down. Roxton: You mean a fight with your mercenaries. Tribune: We’re wasting time you know. Roxton: What do you want? Tribune: Just to be of service and your word as a gentleman that at sometime in the future you will help me. Roxton: Help? To do what - wipe out another tribe, enslave another people? Tribune: Do you really care so little for your life that you can give it up for……for honor? Roxton: Now there’s a concept I’m sure you’ll never understand. Tribune: No wonder you’re species is doomed. [Tribune tosses Roxton a rope. He backs his horse up and pulls Roxton to shore.] [Scene: Roxton is warming himself by a small campfire.] Tribune: You know sometimes I question my own generosity. Is it a weakness? Roxton: Oh I’m sure it will be your downfall. Tribune: The fact remains that you owe me a life. And when the time comes you will repay me – and that is your weakness. [Veronica runs from the jungle and leaps taking Tribune down off his horse. She pulls her knife to kill Tribune.] Roxton: Veronica no! Veronica: Well don’t just stand there help me. Tribune: Would you tell her - this youthful exuberance is somewhat superfluous. Marguerite: Not her you have to worry about lizard man. Out of the way. Veronica: He’s all yours. Malone: Not so fast I want a piece of this action. Roxton: Now…now…now children play nice. Marguerite: John you okay? Roxton: Oh much better now – thank you. Did you miss me? Marguerite: Honestly? Challenger: What the hell is he doing here? Tribune: Excellent question – Lord Roxton will you please explain my weakness of spirit. Malone: What is he talking about? Tribune: And tell Marguerite to put that thing away. Roxton: I can try but you know how she is. Tribune: You flatter me. I mean can one ever really know a woman. Roxton: Tribune saved my life. Tribune: But you seem surprised. Did you think I would hold a grudge? Marguerite: Get out of here. Tribune: Just like that. After all we’ve meant to each other. Roxton: I wouldn’t push your luck. Malone: You’ve done enough harm already. Challenger: Seen any sign of Summerlee? Roxton: No Tribune: Old - grey hair – decrepit. Challenger: Arthur Summerlee is a distinguished scientist. Tribune: As a matter of fact. Veronica: What did you see? Malone: Where? Tribune: As I rode out of the jungle I happened to see him floating towards the falls. Marguerite: What happened? Tribune: Unfortunately I was too late. He went over the edge. [Scene: The falls. They all look over the edge.] Tribune: Save your tears Marguerite. They say it’s a way off the plateau. Malone: Are you serious? Tribune: No one has ever returned to confirm the legend……but. Roxton: That would be a grand joke if Summerlee got home before us. [Scene: Nighttime - The group is sitting around a campfire.] Challenger: You think you can trust that lizard to keep watch? Roxton: For now – he seems to need us more than we need him. Malone: How do you know? Marguerite: Why else would he save Roxton’s life? Roxton: Only if there’s something else he is more afraid of. Malone: After what his little war cost Summerlee; Tribune doesn’t deserve our help. Veronica: You don’t know that he’s dead. Maybe he has made it off the plateau. Challenger: It wasn’t Tribune’s fault that Summerlee came here in the first place. Roxton: It’s not your fault either - can’t blame yourself. Challenger: He only came here because of my expedition. Marguerite: You didn’t ask him to join you. Malone: He came here to prove you wrong. Veronica: And he was so happy when he found the Lost World’s real. Roxton: You gave him his greatest adventure Challenger. Marguerite: Funny man. Never thought I’d miss him. [Marguerite walks away from the others. Roxton follows] Marguerite: Coming to tuck me in. Roxton: Just wanted to make sure you were safe. Marguerite: Always the gentleman – pity. [Scene: Daytime - the trail back to the treehouse. They come to the seashore.] Malone: Now what, we swim? Tribune: I ah…I believe there’s a little fishing village not far from here. You could charter a boat. Veronica: The treehouse is just across the sea. Challenger: I don’t see any boats on the water. Tribune: Just follow the coast. [He tosses Challenger a small sac of coins.] There that should be enough. Roxton: And what about you? Tribune: I’m afraid this is where we must say goodbye. Marguerite: Oh just when we’ve become such good friends. Tribune: No tears please. We’ll see each other again, when you have the boat. Veronica: So you’re not coming into the village? Malone: What are you afraid of? Tribune: Trust me the locals tend to greet me with a little too much gusto. Roxton: You planned this all along. Tribune: Is that a weakness too? [Tribune parts company from the group.] [Scene: The fishing village which doesn’t seem to be too active.] Malone: Doesn’t look like the fishing’s too good this year. Marguerite: Tribune said this place was quiet but this is ridiculous. [They walk up to a casino. A bouncer is throwing a drunk out of the building.] Bouncer: Get out of here. [The group walks into the casino. Unlike the rest of the town this place is busy.] Malone: Funny place to look for a boat. Challenger: I think we should split up make it easy to find something. Roxton: Stay in plain sight. Malone: Maybe I should stick with you - you know for protection. Marguerite: Oh you’ll be okay on your own. Veronica: This place gives me the creeps. Marguerite: Don’t worry about it. I know how to handle guys like these. [Marguerite walks over to a man eyeing her. He is obviously the man in charge. Challenger and Malone are watching a table that has mice races.] Dealer: Last bets! Blue wins! Challenger: Fascinating. Dealer: Lay ‘em down! Challenger: Chips Malone: Professor? Challenger: The introduction of a live variable; the mathematics become intriguing. Dealer: Greeennnnaah! The house pays green! Malone: I hope you know what you’re doing? Challenger: It’s not going to be easy finding a boat. If we are lucky enough to find one it’s going to cost a lot more than Tribune gave us. Dealer: Three on yellow! [Challenger lays his chips on Orange] Dealer: Bets clear! Orange wins! Challenger: Yes! [A working girl walks up to Roxton and Malone at the bar and shows some leg.] Raina: You new in town? Roxton: Yes we are. Malone: Didn’t this used to be a fishing village? Roxton: Now it seems like all the fish have two legs. Raina: That’s funny. Roxton: Some very long legs. Malone: What happened? Man at bar: Giant sea monster. Don’t you know - ate all the fish. [Scene: Marguerite is at a table drinking with Nemak.] Nemak: You better watch it this stuff packs a whollup. Marguerite: Just the way I like it. [Challenger is winning hands in the background.] [Scene: the bar.] Raina: It’s more like a sea serpent you know. Malone: Ah well I feel better already. Raina: Once it ate all the fish it went after the boats. Man at bar: And the fishermen. Raina’s father - her brother - her fiancé. Malone: That’s terrible. Roxton: We’re sorry for your troubles. Raina: That’s old news. Malone: Well you won’t believe it but ah were looking…. Roxton: Looking for a boat. [Scene: Marguerite at table.] Nemak: A boat is a very dangerous proposition. Marguerite: Well that’s what makes life interesting. Challenger: Eureka! Dealer: House pays one winner! [Scene: the bar] Man at bar: After Nemak ruined the fishing. Malone: Are you saying he did all this? Raina: They say he brought the sea serpent when it was just little. Man at bar: Now the casino’s the only work in town. We all work for him. Raina: A girls gotta eat. I can find a friend. [Challenger wins a pile of chips] Challenger: All the way! [Nemak’s talks to a bouncer.] Nemak: Get rid of that bum – lock him up. [The bouncer grabs Challenger away from the gambling table] Bouncer: You’re coming with us. Challenger: I beg your pardon? Is there a problem? Bouncer: Yeah you. [Fade Out] [Scene: The casino] Roxton: Can I help you? Bouncer: Out of the way loser. [The bouncer takes a swing at Roxton. A bar fight starts; everybody joins in but Marguerite who is sitting with Nemak watching the action. The fight stops abruptly and the group gets taken away to jail. Marguerite is sitting with Nemak; he pours her a drink.] Nemak: No goodbyes for your friends? Marguerite: Those losers I never saw them before tonight. Nemak: I saw you come in with them. Marguerite: Met them in the trail I offered to give them a hand. Nemak: Then I guess you won’t be needing that boat after all? Marguerite: Doesn’t mean the evening has to be a complete waste. Nemak: Let’s get out of here. Marguerite: I never thought you’d ask. [Scene: The group is thrown into a jail cell.] Challenger: When do we get to see a magistrate? Bouncer: I’ll have to get back to you on that. At least you people don’t have to worry about dinner. We’re not cannibals you know. [The bouncer walks away and goes to another cell. The bouncer motions for another man to open the cell.] Bouncer: You! Don’t make me go in there. [A shackled Tribune is led out of the cell and they walk by the group’s cell.] Roxton: Tribune Malone: What are you doing here? Tribune: Hmmm slight miscalculation. Roxton: Oh like forgetting to mention the sea serpent? Bouncer: We found the lizard napping by the shore. Now we’re putting on a barbeque in his honor. He’s the main course. [The bouncer and the guards laugh.] Tribune: Ha Ha [Tribune is led away. Challenger is standing by the only window in the cell.] Roxton: Did you have to win every bet? Challenger: Did you want me to lose on purpose? Malone: Every once in a while might have been a good idea. Challenger: Ah that’s ridiculous we needed the money for the boat. Veronica: Even if we weren’t in jail nobody would sell us a boat. Challenger: Then we’re just gonna have to borrow one. Veronica: First we have to get out of here. Malone: Any ideas? Roxton: How much time do you have? Challenger: Where the hell is Marguerite? Roxton: Oh looking out for herself as usual. [Scene: Nemak’s bedroom.] Marguerite: Well this is very manly. Nemak: Hmmm come here. Marguerite: Such a rush. Nemak: I’ve been looking at you all night. Marguerite: Nemak – a girl likes a little romance. [Marguerite pours Nemak a drink. Nemak starts kissing Marguerite’s neck. She takes a bottle and smashes it over his head. He falls back on the bed unconscious.] Marguerite: Was it good for you? [Scene: The jail – Marguerite sneaks down the steps. A guard appears pointing a sword at her throat.] Guard: Hold it right there. Marguerite: Oh, maybe you can help me? Guard: What are you doing down here? Marguerite: Are you all alone here? Well that must get awfully boring? I bet this would make it better? [Marguerite shows the guard a bottle of booze she is holding.] Guard: If Nemak found out. Marguerite: Nemak’s asleep and who’s going to tell? [The guard takes a drink from the bottle. Marguerite points her pistol at him.] Marguerite: Now if you’ll just give me your belt. Guard: It’s very tempting but Nemak would kill me. Marguerite: He might but if I don’t get it now – I will. I promise. Guard: What are you gonna do take it? Marguerite: I guess you’ve never seen one of these before. [Marguerite shoots and shatters the bottle in the guard’s hands.] As I was saying drop it on the floor. [The guard drops his key belt on the floor and Marguerite knocks him out with the handle of her gun. She makes her way to the cell.] Roxton: You certainly took your sweet time. Marguerite: The man drinks like a fish. I was starting to worry I’d run out of booze. Roxton: And where did you learn to drink like that? [Marguerite finds the right key and unlocks the cell.] Marguerite: A little trick they taught us at convent. Don’t just stand there hurry. Malone: Where are we going? Veronica: To steal a boat. Marguerite: Excuse me? What about the sea monster? Challenger: Whatever it is Marguerite it’s not invincible. Marguerite: It is so far. Malone: Challenger’s got a plan. Challenger: Just a few details to sort out. Marguerite: Can we argue about this somewhere else? Roxton: I can’t leave Tribune to be tomorrow’s lunch. Marguerite: What? Veronica: The lizard that got us into this mess in the first place? Roxton: Nobody has to come with me, but he did save my life. Veronica: He nearly killed you first. Malone: He nearly killed us all. Roxton: I’ll catch up with you later. [Malone stands next to Roxton.] Malone: All right Veronica: Are you nuts? Malone: I’ll go with you. [Veronica joins them.] Malone: What are you doing? Veronica: Somebody’s got to look after you two idiots. Marguerite: You’ve got to be kidding? Roxton: We’ll see you at the water. [The group splits up.] Marguerite: I’m only making sure they get to the boat. I can’t be expected to row all the way back to the treehouse on my own. [Challenger and Marguerite walk past the unconscious guard and Challenger hesitates.] Marguerite: Hurry up before he wakes up. Now What? [Challenger kneels by the guard.] Challenger: A couple of things we might need. [Scene: Outside the village – Tribune is tied up on a roasting spit over hot coals. Two men are rotating him so he slowly cooks on all sides.] Bouncer: Stop turning. You may be comfortable now but by tomorrow you’ll be roast to a crisp. Drink this. [The bouncer pours liquid into Tribune’s mouth. Challenger, Marguerite and Veronica watch from a distance.] Challenger: Got any bullets in there? Marguerite: Yes Challenger: I just need a handful. Tribune: Hmmm tasty – what is it? Bouncer: Fruit juice. Tribune: Very refreshing. Bouncer: Internal basting for flavor; every half hour as long as you can. Tribune: How thoughtful. [Challenger appears next to the bouncer wearing the jail cell guard’s jacket.] Challenger: I wish I had this detail. Bouncer: Where are you supposed to be? Challenger: The other side of the square. I just wanted to see the lizard close up you know. Bouncer: Don’t take too long. Challenger: No [Challenger takes a handful of bullets and drops them on the coals. He walks away. The bullets start exploding. People start taking cover. Roxton and Malone run up to Tribune and get him loose.] Tribune: I knew you wouldn’t leave me. [Marguerite and Veronica run toward the shore but are grabbed by some men. Nemak appears.] Marguerite: I don’t believe it he should be so hung over. Nemak: You left without saying goodbye. [Nemak throws a punch at Marguerite but Tribune steps in from behind and grabs his arm throwing him aside. Roxton, with a knife behind his back, and Malone step forward.] Bouncer: So defending the ladies honor. [The bouncer throws Marguerite at Roxton but Roxton steps aside. Marguerite is caught by Challenger standing behind him.] Roxton: Be glad it’s me and not him. [Nemak is struggling with Tribune. Tribune takes a bite out of Nemak’s neck. The group take out the men with the help of Raina.] Tribune: All this excitement works up an appetite. [Scene: The seashore.] Raina: If you’re still game I got you a boat. It used to be my brother’s. Marguerite: That’s great now all we have to worry about is a hungry sea serpent. [Scene: Nightime – The group are pushing the boat into the sea.] Challenger: One – two – three. Tribune: So whose idea was it to throw the cartridges in the fire hey? Challenger: Clever don’t you think? Tribune: I could have been killed! Veronica: You could have been lunch. Challenger: No chance……well less than one in a hundred and I thought that was a very good bet. Malone: If we can be as lucky with the sea serpent maybe Raina’s village can finally be free. Challenger: Lucky? Luck had nothing to do with it. [Marguerite is sitting inside the boat holding her head - hung over.] Marguerite: Blah blah blah boys can you please get in the boat. [Scene: The group is rowing the boat. Malone is steering the rudder Challenger is guiding.] Challenger: Come to starboard - keep the Southern Cross on your port bow. [The giant sea serpent is underwater making its way toward the boat.] [Fade Out] [Scene: The boat.] Challenger: Steady as she goes. Marguerite: Easy for you to say. Could you please say it more quietly? [The boat begins to jerk and sway.] Malone: What was that? Veronica: We’ve got company. [The sea serpent surfaces and growls at the group] Marguerite: It’s the sea serpent! Challenger: My God it’s a Plesiosaur and it’s magnificent. Tribune: Is that what all the fuss is about? [Tribune takes his oar and hits the Plesiosaur on the snout. It dives underwater making a big splash causing the boat to sway harder. Malone falls off the boat into the sea.] Veronica: Ned! Roxton: Malone swim! [Malone swims toward the boat.] Roxton: Come on Malone swim! Challenger: Grab the anchor Veronica we’re going fishin. Come on Veronica. [Malone is helped into the boat. The Plesiosaur breaks the surface.] Challenger: Now Veronica - Now! [Veronica swings the anchor into the sea the Plesiosaur dives for it under the water. The rope attached begins to unfurl.] Roxton: Hang on everybody. [The boat jerks and is hastily dragged across the surface of the sea by the Plesiosaur.] Marguerite: Ohhh is there a slow boat I can take? [After dragging the boat for quite a distance is suddenly slows.] Marguerite: It’s slowing down. Roxton: Must be getting tired. Challenger: It’s stopped. [Challenger pulls up the anchor.] Malone: Oh no it spit out the anchor. Challenger: Don’t worry it must be exhausted by now. It’s an air breather it will have to surface soon. [The Plesiosaur breaks the surface. Challenger hands the lantern to Veronica.] Challenger: How far can you throw this lantern? Malone: You ever play baseball? Veronica: My father loved the game – here. [Veronica tosses the lantern and hits the Plesiosaur. It bursts into flames.] Malone: Nice toss. Roxton: Excellent work Challenger. Challenger: Once I knew it was a Plesiosaur, an air breather, I could deduce… Marguerite: George…George…George can you please save the details till tomorrow? [Scene: The group is walking in the jungle.] Challenger: Considerate of that beast to drag us almost all the way home. Marguerite: How much farther till we get to the treehouse? Veronica: Far enough that we should wait until daybreak. Malone: Too bad – it would be nice to be home. Veronica: Home? Malone: Well you know what I mean. Roxton: We’ll be there soon enough. For now let’s find a safe place and get a few hours sleep. Tribune: If you insist. Marguerite: Oh yes, I insist. [Scene: Morning – The group is woken by growling] Challenger: What’s that? Roxton: A T-Rex. [Veronica looks down and sees bones and cracked dinosaur eggs.] Veronica: Ahhh a T-Rex hatchery. Let’s get out of here. Malone: Oh my God. [A T-Rex approaches the group.] Should we make a run for it? Veronica: We’ll never outrun it. Roxton: Then we’ll have to make a stand. Marguerite: Against a beast like that I might as well use a sling shot. Veronica: Everybody spread out. More! [Veronica waves her arms at the T-Rex and throws a rock at it.] Hey You! Malone: Over here dummy! Veronica: Just stay still nobody move. Hey! Come on big boy! [Veronica takes off running the T-Rex follows. She leads the T-Rex to a cliff. She grabs a vine and swings off the side causing the T-Rex to fall over the edge. Veronica swings back to the edge safely. The group looks over the edge then at Veronica.] Veronica: What? I knew the cliff was there. [Scene: The path to the treehouse.] Tribune: I think I shall take this opportunity to say adieu. Marguerite: Ahh really? Tribune: Sadly. Marguerite: Sure you’re not planning another of your surprise visits? Veronica: Sure you don’t need our protection? Tribune: You’re too kind but I must be getting home. Roxton: Oh Tribune – you’re welcome. [Tribune leaves the group. The group continues on the path - Challenger and Marguerite linger behind.] Marguerite: You seem like a gambling man to me. How much do you want to bet that’s not the last we’ve seen of him? Challenger: A true gambler only bets on a sure thing. [Epilogue] [Scene: The treehouse common room. Everyone is relaxing. ] Malone: Oh it’s good to be back. Marguerite: Yes it is. Roxton: Even without the maid service? [Veronica and Challenger enter the common room from the laboratory carrying in two plants.] Veronica: We can’t decide which plant should carry Summerlee’s name. Malone: You’re going to name a plant Arthur? Challenger: Oh no. Dicroidium Summerlee-Ensis, thought to have been extinct for a hundred million years. While Osteospurmum Summerlee-Ensis has never before been successfully bred outside of Africa. Roxton: Well they’re both triumphs how will you decide? Veronica: Which ever we decide. I miss him. Malone: I miss his cooking. Bush chicken Arthur. Roxton: Which I hope is a recipe Malone not some character description. Veronica: He was never afraid to risk his life to defend us. Marguerite: And never afraid to cook dinner. Is anybody but me getting hungry? Roxton: I think I’ll go check on my hunting rifles. They haven’t been oiled in weeks and with all this humidity. [Roxton leaves] Challenger: Come along Veronica we should get these specimens back and see if any of Arthur’s other experiments have germinated. Veronica: Right [Challenger and Veronica leave. Malone gets up to leave.] Marguerite: Malone? Malone: Well I’d volunteer but there are some thoughts I want to get down on my journal while they’re still fresh. [Malone leaves] Marguerite: Of course - what was I thinking? It’s far too early for dinner. [Marguerite walks to a cot and lies down to take a nap.] [End of episode]
