1882 - ST. PETERSBURG Academy of Sciences
[door closing]
[footsteps echoing]
Come!
[footsteps echoing]
[gasping]
[fabric ripping]
- Oh, no! A brand new dress! - Shh!
Quiet. Look up there.
What can you read?
(Girl): "Oloukine Library."
The Academy's most beautiful library
named after my grandfather! Can you believe it?
Oh, that's just like him.
Looking as friendly as ever!
[gasping]
What a lovely bracelet!
A souvenir of his expedition with the Inuit.
- Ivory? - No, reindeer poo.
Ooo!
The most beautiful of all is this.
Wonderful.
Thanks to this, he found the Northeast Passage.
You know! The one that links the Atlantic to the Pacific!
A first for Russia.
But his biggest dream...
was the North Pole.
[steam hissing]
Come on, captain! Let's get to work.
- So where is the North Pole? - On the top of the world.
It's very cold there like a white desert.
You have to walk for miles and miles on ice fields,
with sleighs and dogs.
But it's so beautiful...
And what do we do when we reach the Pole,
my Sashenka?
We plant the flag!
He was obsessed with planting the Russian flag.
He adored his country.
He died a hero. You can be proud of him.
[gasping]
No!
I knew it! We'll be caught.
No! Come.
And last but not least, Prince Tomsky.
The visit ends with the Oloukine Library.
The inauguration will be next month.
A very imposing statue. As was the man, by the way.
Something of a megalomaniac.
Well, I don't know about that,
but he certainly was a man of character, Mister Councilor.
And above all, a great explorer, who sacrificed his life
for the conquest of the North Pole.
His ship is still missing isn't it?
Sadly, yes.
The hunt for the Davaï has been in vain.
The Davaï? Oh yes! An impressive icebreaker
that cost the Empire a fortune
and was supposed to be unsinkable.
So much money wasted for nothing.
How unfortunate.
[door closing]
The Tsar's new scientific councilor.
The women at court are crazy about him.
The Tsar as well. He swears by him.
A real daddy's boy.
Who does this Tomsky think he is?
If the Davaï was worthless, the Tsar wouldn't have offered
a million roubles to find it.
[carriage rattling]
I'm sorry, Loujine. It's out of the question.
The Academy's most beautiful library
will not be named after Oloukine,
despite the decision of my predecessor.
And remember Oloukine insulted my uncle.
We can't do that to Count Chernetsow.
His son-in-law? Nonsense!
He dreams of becoming ambassador in Rome.
He won't make trouble.
But the Chernetsovs are one of the most influential families
in St. Petersburg.
Influential? I don't care.
I want to settle this matter immediately.
Tell them I'll be attending
their daughter's ball tonight.
[seabirds cawing]
Good news, my dear!
Prince Tomsky will be attending the ball.
My nomination for the Embassy of Rome is certain.
He wouldn't be coming if I didn't have the Tsar's favor.
Don't forget that this is also your daughter's first ball.
I know. I hope she will be worthy of her rank.
She's been unpredictable lately.
She's still shaken up
and coming to terms with Papa's death.
I hope this ball will do her good.
You wanted to see me, Papa?
Prince Tomsky is honoring us with his presence tonight.
Your opening dance will be with him.
Very well.
A real young lady.

Prince, perhaps you can help me.
Is that so?
The Davaï was searched for in the wrong place.
Interesting. But how could I possibly help?
Only you can convince the Tsar
to resume his search for the Davaï.
I'm leaving for Paris tomorrow.
I promise to look into it when I return.
You're leaving for how long?
Three months.
Three months?
[indistinct conversations]
So your waltz with Tomsky, how was it?
Look what I found.
Oh no, not on the night of your ball!
Oloukine didn't go via the Kara Sea
but via Spitsbergen.
Spits-what? I don't get it.
Come on! Let's dance!
It's simple. Imagine this is the ice field.
Everyone thinks Oloukine
passed by on the right to get to the North Pole,
- but he went left. - So?
It means they searched for him in the wrong place.
Don't you think all this can wait till tomorrow?
No, Tomsky will have left for Paris.
I've wasted enough time, Loujine.
Let's deal with this and leave.
Are you sure about this?
It is his daughter's first ball.
SACHA: Your Highness,
I'm sorry for interrupting but I need to talk to you,
- about my grandfather. - I told you I was leaving.
I know, your Highness.
In three months, it will be winter.
It will be impossible to reach the Pole
and our chances of finding the Davaï will be lost.
This young lady thinks her grandfather
took a different route to reach the pole.
I'm not entirely convinced. What do you think?
Well...
Yes. Indeed, I...
You see? Even Loujine agrees with me.
He fears displeasing you!
Young lady, how insolent!
Forgive me. I didn't mean to be.
Nobody has ever spoken to me like this.
It's unacceptable! Loujine, we're leaving.
This is outrageous!
I will not stay in this house a moment longer.
What's wrong, Prince? Leaving already?
I am not used to being insulted by a 15-year-old!
It's not true, Papa, I only said that in 3 months we were--
Quiet!
- Prince, please stay. - Enough.
We'll settle this tomorrow. 10am, the Palace.
You know, Chernetsov,
I wonder if the Tsar can still trust a man
who is not master in his own home.
[carriage rattling, door opening and closing]
You see, Loujine? That wasn't so difficult.
[horses clomping]
Countess, please don't leave!
Please! Countess!
[sighs]
[dog barking]
Can I help you, Mother?
You've been punished.
Your father wants you to stay in your room.
Please, Mother.
I had such hopes for that evening.
Your debutante ball. Such a pity.
Mother, forgive me. I didn't realize.
You are so like your grandfather.
Papa used to cause such scandals and never understood why.
It may surprise you, but I miss his temper.
Tell me it's settled.
No. Tomsky would not listen.
No more embassy in Rome and no more Oloukine Library.
But if we found the Davaï, that could fix things.
It would please the Tsar.
He promised a million roubles to find it.
Quiet! That's enough of this nonsense for today!
But I know how to find it. Why won't you listen?
Enough! Stop dreaming.
You sound like your grandfather and his North Pole!
His expedition was a complete disaster.
He ruined the Empire and us with it!
And you...
I had such high hopes for you.
And instead, you bring disgrace on our family.

Everybody knows the Davaï sank, it might as well show.
It can't go down. The Davaï is unsinkable.
[laughter]
(Sailor): Darling, you're cute,
but we spent 3 months looking for that damn ship,
so believe me, it's sunk.
You looked in the wrong place.
And now she's going to tell us where to find it!
Yes. Precisely.
(Lund): What makes you think we were looking
in the wrong place?
(Sacha): This navigation sheet.
This is Oloukine's itinerary.
Where did you find that?
I am Sacha Chernetsov, Oloukine's granddaughter.
I found it at my grandpa's.
Captain Lund, Olga told me
you could help me find the Davaï.
She's a brave lass. Listen to her.
So if we follow the navigation chart
Oloukine passed by the extreme north of Novaya zemlya.
But then, instead of heading East
as was expected through the Kara Sea,
he tried his chances going West through the Barents Sea.
He must be there,
between Franz Josef Land and Spitsbergen,
blocked by the ice.
So, assuming that your report was written by Oloukine,
assuming that he'd thought of another route
to get to the Pole,
a route that crosses the Barents Sea,
what proves that he actually took it?
He didn't have the choice.
Two years ago, in July,
the weather on the Kara was disastrous. I checked.
Force 10 winds... No ship could sail there.
I assure you, Captain, the Davaï has not sunk.
It's waiting for you, here.
With the million roubles promised by the Tsar.
A million divided by 10... That's almost 100,000 each.
Stop dreaming, it won't be you distributing the cuts.
Winter is coming. We leave tomorrow.
You'll only have to wait a few weeks.
But I'm going with you!
Out of the question.
But why? I can help you. I know the region perfectly.
Ask me anything.
The surface area of the Kara Sea?
340,000 square miles.
Spitsbergen's latitude? 78 degrees--
(Sailor): And the captain's age?
(Sacha): 38 and a half.
I swear, I know everything!
Mowson, you have a tattoo on your right buttock.
You, Frenchy, you're a good cook
but a bad singer.
- And you Briscoe-- - Enough!
Don't waste your time, my mind is made up.
Don't worry, you'll get your share.
I don't care about the money. Keep it!
I must find the Davaï to save my family's honor.
And I already paid for my trip, didn't I, "Captain" Larson?
What? What's all this about?
No, well you see, it's just that I--
Oloukine gave me those earrings. They were extremely valuable.
Give them back.
I can't, because I--
Gambled them away?
Tomorrow, 4 am on the pier. You'd better be on time!

We've already lost 3 days,
we're almost out of supplies.
Your only hope of finding the Davaï
is to leave immediately.
We can't just abandon you here.
Only you can bring the Davaï home.
Larson is more than capable without me.
You know I don't have your skills.
Enough! You should have already left.
That's an order.. [wincing]
You're not fit to give orders.
Is this more convincing?
Leave him here.
It's all his fault.
A real captain would never have listened to that girl.
I agree! We'll probably all die here because of him.
They're right. Get a move on!
Don't just stand there!
Okay, lads. Pack it up. We're leaving!
But we can't abandon him here all alone.
- He'll die! - (Larson): That's his problem.
You're just so pathetic.
I won't let you!
Good one!
(Larson): Come up! Let's go!
Come up! Come on!
[wind blowing]
He won't survive two more days.
I'm sorry about what I said, when Lund--
No, don't apologize. I owe you...
for your earrings. I'm sorry.

We all got less than you.

There's nothing. Where is the Davaï?
Sacha!
We're not stopping here. We're going down.
Get going, the blizzard's coming!
I knew it. She doesn't know where we're going.
We're all going to die here.

(Sailor): That's mine.
- Move it. Move on! - (Sailor #2): I'm starving.
(Sailor #3): Hey! My turn!
(Sailor #4): Some food...
What? Is that all?
Why does he get two plates?
That's for Sacha.
For the girl who's responsible for our deaths?
Are you crazy? Give it to me!
(Katch): No! Stop it!
- Give it to me! - Let go!
- Give it! - Have you gone mad? Stop it!
Don't touch me!
Dumb kid! Look at what you've done.
Don't touch my food, okay? Huh?
Hey! That's mine!
It ain't yours! It's on the ground.
- Katch. What? - Don't.
This is all your fault.

(Oloukine): Ship's log: April 13th.
The men don't listen to me anymore.
This winter has dealt a blow to my authority.
They refused to carry on our mission to the Pole
and to carry supplies any further
that would allow us to return home.
May 21st:
they took the lifeboats
to head south, hoping to find a passing whaling ship.
Ship's log: June 2nd.
Despite all this, I have decided to pursue my goal.
No turning back now.
I leave behind me my ship.
It will be waiting for me at the coordinates 87.2, 76.5.
I know where the Davaï is.
So good!

Nothing.
We should be able to see it from here.
There's nothing, I told you!

August 2nd. I've made it.
The Pole is mine.
The most difficult part starts now.
September 16th.
The blizzard's been blowing strong for three days.
My strength is failing.
October 22nd.
I think that my journey ends here.
I will no longer have the strength
to return to the Davaï.
It's magnificent.
I would like you to see this, my little Sacha.
TO SACHA

Go ahead, pull it!
