Green Hell (1940) Movie Script
1
Come on! Move it!
Come on!
Move!
Move it! Faster!
- I want to see Dr. Loren.
- Si, senor. Is he expecting you;
- He will see me.
- Si, senor.
Dr. Loren;
Yes.
Richardson!
I'm glad to see you. Sit down.
I forgot you haven't met Forrester.
He's one of us.
- How do you do;
- How do you do;
Have a drink.
The beer is excellent.
Of course, for me, it must be in a bock.
You might enjoy this.
It's rum,
juice of the pineapple, guava,
and a dash of wild mint.
They have a very deIightfuI name for it.
They call it the Lovers Kiss.
May I have a Scotch and soda;
Maybe you think we're crazy
to go on an expedition like this.
Frankly, Doctor, I think you are.
A scientist and archaeologist like you
starting off on a wild goose chase
to find Inca ruins
and a buried treasure in the jungle.
No, you're wrong.
I know.
Look, I will show you.
Here are the mountains.
The Andes.
Hundreds of years before the Christian era,
a civilization far greater
than the earIy Egyptians
lived and built magnificent cities
and temples
and underground tombs
such as wound put ancient China to shame.
Here, not over 150 miles
from where we are right now,
they rebuilt their cities, their temples,
and filled them with treasures of gold.
Maybe it is crazy,
but we are going to find those temples
and bring back that gold.
- Do you go up the Javari River;
- As far as the Snake;
- You know the Snake;
- Yes, it's well named.
Few come back alive I'm told.
I think I'll go for a Iittle stroll
through the paseo.
- Don't forget, we're leaving tonight.
- I have an excellent memory.
- You have a pretty good eye too.
- Nils, steady!
- Is he as good an explorer as...
- Forrester is pretty good at everything.
He went into the Bolivian jungle
last year with Keith Brandon.
Who is Brandon;
Who is Brandon;
Brandon is Brandon!
All this talk of Dr. Nils Loren's
expedition is flubbed up.
There would be no expedition
without Brandon, he's organized it,
he got the money from the government,
he got the men together, and what's more,
he keeps them together too.
Come on! MoVe it!
Move! Faster!
There is Brandon.
Get up! Move!
Can't you see he's sick;
Get up and take the stuff on board!
- Go on!
- Si, senor.
- Gracco!
- Si, senor.
- What's the matter with you;
- I'm sick, senor Brandon.
- Get a doctor.
- Si, senor.
- You wish me to fire Carlos;
- No, he'll be one of our best men.
You have what Indians call ''cat's eyes''.
You see in the dark.
- Graham!
- Sir!
- Get all your surveying instruments;
- Sure. I'm all set.
Looks like a first rate crew.
Gracco hand-picked every one of them.
They ought to be.
Flowers, senor;
Beautiful flowers, senor;
I'll need some good luck flowers.
Take mine, senor.
I buy the lot of them.
- Graham!
- Yes, sir;
- Take over.
- Yes, sir!
Too many mosquitoes in Tabatinga.
There we are.
- Senor, please, one moment...
- Goodbye, senorita!
No, senor, not goodbye.
A large beer!
David Richardson, Keith Brandon.
- Hello.
- Ho do you do;
- You're going up the JaVari River ;
- Do you know that part of the jungle;
- I know white men seldom come out of it.
- Yes, we've heard that.
- Plenty of swamps there.
- We know.
- Who's your guide;
- The best, Gracco, he's half Kulinau.
Well, that's a friendly tribe.
Look out for the Mangaromos,
they're headhunters.
We know that too.
Well, thanks Very much for warning us.
I didn't come here to warn you.
I came to join the expedition.
So...
We'll be gone a year, perhaps two.
I should say at least that.
You have no ties, no family;
I'm quite free.
It's just as well.
Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play
Howdy, folks!
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
- Caramba, senor!
- Caramba, senorita. See you later, baby!
- Senor, Scott!
- Hi, Brandy!
You'd better get a moVe on.
Not till I secure a nice relation.
Are they with us;
The big fellow with the Voice, Tex,
is our powder man.
We went through the Matto Grosso with him.
But Scott, it's his first expedition,
you can see he's taking it very seriously!
Hello, beautiful!
- Senor Brandon comes out soon;
- Brandy;
Big brown eyes, he wouldn't look at you
if you were Lady Godiva on an ostrich.
He doesn't appreciate beauty.
Senor, pay us!
We worked all day!
My friend, I don't savvy your lingo,
but I'm telling you, I paid you plenty.
You low down leathery-faced
jug-headed ornery coyote !
Hold this for me!
Hold on, Tex, here come the Marines!
If anything should happen,
if I shouldn't come back,
remember I love you, darling.
Goodbye.
- Well, hello, Richardson!
- Hello.
- I just had a charming farewell myself.
- Yes;
I saw you on the paseo this afternoon
in the most attractive company.
She was Very lovely.
Yes, she is very lovely.
It's rather chilly here in the evening,
doesn't it;
- Gee, we're actually on our way.
- Yes, big explorer stuff.
- Remember how we felt the first time;
- Definitely.
Funny, we swore we'd never do it again,
but here we are.
- Well, here's to adventure!
- Skol!
Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
Tex, that's good, you know.
I wish I could do it like you.
The average Englishman singing this
American song is silly, don't you think ;
Let's see, how does it go;
Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
Put more bassoon into it.
Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Now you'Ve got it!
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
- Home, home on the range.,.
- Don't you know any other song;
- Nope.
- Then I'll teach you one.
What for;
You can't sing two songs at the same time.
Besides, I like this one.
Well, I don't. I'm sick of it.
It's too hot!
You know, you're much too British.
What does the thermometer say, Richardson;
Boy, it's hot.
I'm roasting.
In the swamps, it gets as high as 140.
I thought they never roasted a man
till after he was dead.
That's why they call it the Green Hell.
Strange guy, Richardson
He aIways keeps to himself.
- You know anything about him;
- Nothing.
About the best thing to know
about any man.
Tex, don't look now, but there's...
something moving oVer there.
Them there alligator sure do Iook hungry.
So don't fall in, Tex.
You might poison them.
That wouId be tragic.
How mysterious the jungle is at night.
The more you see of it,
the less you know about it.
Sounds incredibly IoneIy, doesn't it;
I wonder why there's so many lonely people
in such a crowded worId.
Brandy, do you think a man can love
two women at the same time,
in his heart be faithful to each,
and yet want to be free;
What do you want;
An answer or a justification;
Hold up!
There's trouble ahead!
Senor Brandon, plenty men.
Take cover.
Where did they get those guns;
Years ago, an expedition of 50 white men.
They died in these swamps.
Gracco, Gracco...
Gracco!
Senor Brandon!
Senor Brandon! Senor Scott!
Senor, this is my tribe!
These are my people!
That's a lucky break.
Graham, get that box of Jim Cracks!
Senor Brandon explorador.
- All explorador.
- Delighted.
Gracco explorador now too.
How do you do;
He says: ''No presents;''
Sure.
There you are.
Crazy coyotes!
You'd laugh too, if you saw your face.
What am I laughing at;
Senor Brandon!
Senor Brandon! Look!
Ruins! Ruins! We find it!
It's fantastic!
Like the ruins of Angkor.
Or being in a new world.
This looks like the gateway to the citadel.
Quite near here,
we should find the paIaces and temples.
Well, boys, here we are.
We'll build our camp right here.
Tomorrow, we start digging in.
Gracco's men are dying like flies.
It's terrible.
Two more last night.
We've lost twenty at least.
What can we do; These ignorant devils
won't take this serum.
I wish they'd stop that infernal noise.
- It's driving me crazy!
- Take it easy, boy.
We don't want to have
to carry you out there.
I'm alright, doctor.
I wish the rains would come. You can
hardly breathe in this air so thick.
How can Tex and Scott
keep on working in this furnace;
You try and stop them.
Hey, Brandy!
Hey, Brandy!
They're yelling Iike madmen!
Something must haVe happened! Come on!
They must have found something.
- No, you don't. You stay where you are.
- But if they found something...
Whatever it is,
it will wait until tomorrow.
Brandy!
- We found a big hole in the ground.
- A hole; It's a subterranean passage.
- Where;
- Right in there. Come on.
Careful, Brandy, eVerybody.
Ran around this way.
Certainly is some hole.
Gracco, get the torches
and throw them down there.
SmeIIs foul down there.
- Brandy, what do you make of it;
- It's exciting. Evidently it is a passage.
- Shall we see, senor;
- Sure. Come on, let's go.
- This place sure giVes me the creeps.
- Shut up, Tex.
Somebody must haVe been here before.
Look out, senor!
Jararaca snake!
Brandon!
What is it;
Looks like a passage.
What a magnificent race
they must have been. Sun worshippers !
We haVe uncoVered history, gentlemen.
History.
Yeah, but what about all that gold
we were going to find;
There will be tombs.
They're always hidden cIose to the temple.
It may take time, Tex,
but we must be patient.
I'd sure like my Minnie to see this.
Gracco, why are they doing that;
They are afraid, senor.
They cast a spell over eviI spirit.
- Evil spirit haunt ancient ruins.
- I thought you said they were Christians.
Sometimes, senor,
Indian remember old tribal custom.
It's in the blood, senor.
It's like the voice of our ancestors,
calling to us,
warning us.
Gracco!
Pardon, senor.
But me, very much Christian.
When you think how many centuries
have passed since this temple was built,
makes our lives seem rather insignificant.
But awfully important to us, Richardson.
Yes, if we can accept philosophically
what life brings us.
Take care, Richardson.
- Nasty looking gadget.
- Careful. Don't touch that point.
- It's poisoned.
- Wonder what they used;
Jararaca snake.
It paralyzes the motor nerves.
I've seen men Iinger for months
in and out of consciousness.
It's a filthy death.
It's alright.
Richardson, it'll be alright.
Poor devil.
Careful, Richardson.
Richardson, it will be alright.
No, no...
How is he;
Strange guy, Richardson.
I never particularly liked him.
I never understood him.
Trouble is, we never understand
anybody until after they're dead.
Can't you talk about anything but death;
- Cut that out, Graham!
- Why shouId I;
I'm sick. Sick of everything.
This place, the heat, the monotony.
It's all crowding up around me, choking me.
I'm dying.
Just like Richardson in there.
That's enough, Graham.
Give him rum, Tex.
Here.
- I don't want any.
- Go on, drink it.
Is that better;
- I'm sorry.
- What for;
We all crack up once in a while.
Not you, Brandy.
Don't you belieVe it. You remember
that earthquake in Chile, Forrester;
I saw a church collapse on hundreds
of women and kids. Burying them alive.
It was a horrible.
And I just stood there in the middle
of the street and cried Iike a baby.
Sure, I ain't got no use for a guy
who ain't neVer had a good cry.
Shows he's growing up to be a man.
You'll be alright.
Come on, pull yourself together
and stand in with all of us.
You can do it.
We all meet this,
but we come through it by ourselves.
That's what you've got to do.
It's different for you, Brandy.
You've been through all this before.
I never have.
I can't take it, I guess.
You can take it
if you make up your mind to it.
What do you say;
We are ready, senor.
- How many men are you leaving;
- About half, senor.
Look here, Graham. You'd better go back
to Tabatinga with Gracco
- For provisions, serum and ammunition.
- Gee, Brandy.
Don't make me feeI more like a dog
than I do now.
- I'll stick it out.
- That's the stuff.
Get back as quickly as you can.
You may save Mr. Richardson's life.
Si, senor.
Come on, men! Move!
Go take a jump in the river.
OnIy don't forget to come up again.
Thanks, Brandy. For everything.
Oh, shush.
Get down from there! Stand clear!
Not too much of a blast.
If this is a tomb,
we don't want to block our way into it.
- Right, Brandy.
- Look here, Tex.
Let's not have any nonsense
after all these weeks of hard work,
but nothing to show for it.
You just leaVe that to me.
I'm the first guy that ever blasted
the whole through a donut.
There she blows!
The powder baboon has blown it all!
It's a tomb, Dr. Loren ;
It might be
But the whole passage is blocked.
It will take weeks, maybe months,
before we know.
- Find anything;
- Yes, where your brains are.
Get those Indians and tell them
to clean up this mess you made.
It's a pity you didn't stick
to your donuts, Tex.
- They're gone.
- Gone.
What's got into those birds lately;
- Where are they;
- They'Ve gone.
They haVen't been the same
since we started opening up this place.
They're half saVages,
more afraid of the dead than the living.
I know. I came up here one night
and found them performing weird rites
in front of the sun God.
As long as they don't go cannibal on us.
If they do,
you'Ve got plenty to worry about.
Tex, I think you've done
enough damage for one day.
Come on, let's go home, chaps.
It's Gracco!
- Mail from home!
- Oh, boy!
I'll sort it.
Scott, Scott...
Loren.
That's mine!
Scott, Scott...
Popular guy, Scott!
- Say, is there nothing for me;
- Who do you know can write;
Brandon, Brandon...
There's a couple for Richardson.
I'll give them to Brandy.
That's mine too.
Forrester.
I paid this months ago!
Infernal cheaters!
- Scott, where do I come in;
- You're the forgotten man, Tex.
Hello, chum. You're looking a bit grim.
Anything the matter;
The natives tell me
they brought a woman up here.
A what ;
- Did they say what color;
- A white woman.
Maybe that Lulu I met in Tabatinga
followed me out here.
If you brought any woman up here,
I'm gonna kick you right off the job.
Now, Brandy,
you know I wouldn't do a thing like that.
I'm married, ain't I;
She looks pretty ill.
Just a coma.
Jungle feVer;
- A little, I think, but mostly exhaustion.
- Better take her inside.
Who's that woman;
You say to find somebody in Tabatinga
who knows senor Richardson.
- She is his wife, senor.
- His wife;
You had no right to let her come up here.
I tried to stop her, but she begs so hard,
she say nobody eVer tried to stop her.
When she's better, she'll have to go back.
We can't have a woman around here.
Si, senor.
This is my mistake.
- Who is she, Brandy;
- Richardson's wife.
His wife;
- I didn't even know he was married.
- Neither did I.
- What are you going to do about it;
- When she recovers, send her out again.
Go through this stuff, see if there's
a trunk or a chest that belongs to her.
Seems funny haVing a woman in this dump,
even for a few days.
Say, Brandy.
- Who is she;
- Mrs. Richardson.
Oh, shucks!
I knew they'd be a catch in it.
That's strange.
I may be mistaken,
but I think I've seen her before.
In Tabatinga.
Yes.
I hope she's gonna be alright.
She should be alright in a few days.
She's very lovely.
Tell Brandy I want to see him.
- Did you find out who she is;
- Richardson's wife.
Then I did see her with Richardson.
Wonder why he said he wasn't married;
She's a bit of all right, chum.
David...
DaVid....
She must have been terribly in IoVe
with him to make this trek.
Some women do Iove that much, Brandy.
It's going to be tough to tell her.
Get me some cool water, please.
What you doing up at this hour;
It's after 4:00 o'clock.
I'm just restless. Couldn't sleep.
She come out of it yet;
You better turn in.
David...
David...
Where is he;
We're very sorry to have to tell you this,
Mrs. Richardson,
but...
He is dead.
David is dead.
How long ago;
SeVeral weeks.
David!
We did everything we could for him.
Everything.
- Feeling better;
- Feeling fine, thanks, Tex.
You certainly look pretty in that outfit.
We haven't seen any women in such
a long time it makes me kind of homesick.
My Minnie never was much for dressing up.
- I'd like to meet her sometime.
- You would;
You'd like to see a picture;
Look at her.
That's her.
- She has a sweet smile.
- Yeah.
I don't know what she's got to smile about,
poor Minnie. I ain't never home much.
- What are you going in for; Horticulture;
- No.
Chivalry.
I brought these for Mrs. Richardson.
How lovely they are.
You wait till you see
the pure white orchid.
One of these days, I'll go far off
into the deep wilds of the jungle
and get some for you.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- How is my patient ;
- Glad to be out in the sunshine again.
Thank you very much, Mr. Forrester,
for the orchids.
Oh, yes, quite.
You look as though you've been working.
I must say we haVe. It'll be worth it.
When you're better I'll take there.
- Would you like that;
- I'd love it.
Must be fascinating digging in those ruins,
not knowing what you might find.
Now, if I were a man I could help.
I wish you were. I mean...
- I mean, I wish you could.
- What; Be a man;
No, no, no. I mean...
WeII, stay here.
I can't stay here, I only wish I could.
Do you really;
Yes.
It's so beautiful, isn't it;
Yes.
You're dining with us tonight,
Mrs. Richardson;
- I'm looking forward to it.
- We all are.
WeII, you stay quiet for a bit now.
This is going to be quite a memorable
evening tonight. A real guest for dinner.
What's up;
- Tex, you better get yourself a shave.
- What for;
We are entertaining Mrs. Richardson
to dinner tonight.
How do you know she wants us
all spruced up;
We all owe her that much respect.
Gosh, I hate to lose this mesquite.
Just beginning to look like a man.
- Where's my razor;
- Right here, Mr. Morgan.
- You've been sawing wood with it.
- It's an insult to my face.
All this cleaning up ain't natural.
I wouldn't do it for anybody else,
except Minnie.
Forrester, take it easy.
I want a little hair left.
You wish me to comb it for you, sir;
What's going on here;
You all going crazy;
Bonjour, monsieur, Shave;
- Marcel, manicure!
- Shut up.
Good evening, gentlemen.
Doctor, I thought you of all people
would have more sense.
Where is my razor;
But we were fully equipped.
We had 50 natiVes, and it took us
two months to get to this place.
We had to cut our own way through,
it's true, but even then,
for you to get here so quickly,
with just few natives and with a fever,
I think it's amazing.
- You know, you're quite a gaI.
- I think you put up a jolly good show.
But what amazes me is how you ever
came to Iive in a place like Tabatinga.
It has great charm.
We had a small villa
with a beautiful tropical garden.
I was quite happy there.
But it was a bit dreary though, wasn't it;
I mean, sort of remote,
smelly and all that sort of thing.
We've lived in far more
isolated places than that.
Once we spent three months in a native hut
in the Bolivian jungle.
Two winters ago we were in the High Andes.
Snowed in.
Just David and I.
And we spent a whole year
in Indochina looking for...
Well, just looking for adventure.
Did you find it;
Yes.
What did you find;
A little string of wooden beads
in a bazaar.
Two people can be happy with very little.
We didn't need anything else.
There were five wonderful years.
They must have been.
There were times when David
would go away in quite a while.
I stayed at home waiting for him.
Afraid he'd never come back.
But he always did.
Until this time.
Gee, I getting awful homesick.
I wonder what my Minnie is doing now.
Tex, don't bring her out again.
Look, there's a shooting star.
The fireflies are marvelous tonight.
There's another star!
- Did you make a wish;
- Yes.
- Would you Iike to know what it was;
- I'm burning with curiosity.
That all dreams come true...
and a safe landing.
Home.
That's a very sweet wish.
''When he shall die,
take him and cut him out in little stars.
''And he will make the face of heaVen
so fine
''That all the world
wiII fall in Iove with night
''And pay no worship to the garish sun.''
It's been a lovely evening.
Yes, it has.
I suppose you bad better turn in now.
It's much too late for your first party.
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
A remarkable woman, isn't she;
Yes, she is.
I think she had better leave here soon.
Funny how the obVious things
are sometimes the most difficult.
I'll go tell Gracco.
- Where's Gracco;
- He comes in from jungle.
Mrs. Richardson is leaving for Tabatinga
in a few days.
Tell him to get his men ready.
You stay here and take charge.
Si, senor.
Senor Brandon.
Senor Brandon, all my men that work
in the temple are gone.
- Gone where;
- In the jungle. Perhaps back to Tabatinga.
- When did they leave;
- Last night.
- Why didn't you tell me;
- We look for them all night and all day.
No sign of them, senor.
No fires. Nothing.
- How many men have we got left;
- Only Mala and ones I leave on guard.
Go out again with Mala.
We don't need guards.
Come on, run!
- What's up;
- Gracco's men ran out on us.
Nice mess, isn't it;
I don't know. I wouldn't say that.
Sounds like a reprieve.
It will be an extraordinary pleasure
if Mrs. Richardson stays a few more days.
- That's aII it'll be, a few days.
- I'm beginning to believe in fate.
Hold it!
That's not fair.
You haVe the most extraordinary propensity
for looking attractiVe
under the most exacting conditions.
You say that too easily,
it sounds rehearsed.
It is rehearsed.
I've been thinking it for more than a year.
- That's true.
- How could it be;
I saw you in Tabatinga the afternoon
before we left on the expedition.
I eVen remember the hat you were wearing.
One of those large white brim,
with much of those pink things on it.
Yes, that's right.
You were having tea in the cafe
in the paseo.
With DaVid.
I distinctly remember that the orchestra
was playing l kiss your hand, madame.
Why should you remember that;
A man doesn't easily forget
the first time he sees a beautiful woman.
I kiss your hand, madame.
What do you really think
of Mrs. Richardson;
I think she's charming.
Why;
I don't know.
I only hope Brandy
doesn't take it too seriously.
Hello, Scott.
Hello, Brandy.
Your mail is ready;
- Any news of Gracco's men;
- I guess they're still in the jungle.
Don't you think Forrester
is being a bit obvious;
At least, he's being frank about it.
Don't forget, Brandy, you're taking me
to see the temple this afternoon.
Sun worshippers.
- We've been exploring again.
- So I gather.
We went to the old Inca gateway.
Really;
I've been doing a bit of expIoring myself.
I found these for you.
Where's Dr. Loren;
He's out looking for Gracco.
He'd be back by now.
He's been gone seVeral hours.
What if he... he finds him;
That means I'll be leaVing quite soon.
I better start packing tonight.
Will I be going tomorrow;
If we find Gracco, I'm afraid so.
It's going to be very lonely here
without you.
How much longer will you be here;
I don't know.
Few months.
A year, maybe.
And then;
Where will you be;
Where can I find you;
I think I'll return to my mother's home
in Vermont for a while.
I'll be thinking of you.
And hoping you're happy.
I'll be thinking of you too, Brandy.
I can't Iet you go.
- I loVe you, my darling.
- Brandy, please.
Don't say anymore.
I'm so confused.
Anything else you want to send out
beside the mail;
No.
Perhaps you might want these.
They came for your husband.
Thank you.
- Why did you do that;
- They belong to her.
- You didn't have to give her now.
- Why not now; I'll tell you why.
You don't want her to think about
her husband, you want her to forget him.
Not as sign of Gracco.
I'm terribly worried. He couldn't be
so far away he wouldn't hear the horn.
- He couldn't have deserted;
- I don't know. CouId have been captured.
- By the Mangaromos;
- I doubt it, we'd haVe heard shots.
What if they don't return;
Does Mrs. Richardson stay here;
I'm taking her back to Tabatinga.
- It's been your idea all along, hasn't it;
- What are you talking about;
- I don't think you better say anymore.
- Why not; Can't you face the truth;
- I've never been afraid of the truth.
- Then listen to it.
Ever since we started, you'Ve been
preaching to us about sticking on the job.
Stick on the job, stick on the job!
You've pounded that into us!
And now look at you. Because of a woman,
you're going back on everything.
But not one of us could run this camp
without you. Not one of us, you know it.
- I think you'Ve said enough.
- I hope I haVe.
''Six years of waiting is incredibly long.
''I love you
''and I'll always love you.
''That's why I refuse to divorce you.
''Helen.''
May I ask you something;
Of course Mrs. Richardson.
Come in.
Tell me, Dr. Loren,
did DaVid...
before he died...
did he...
say anything;
I mean...
about the past or...
or about...
me;
Just before the end, he called for you.
He called for me;
Are you sure;
We were alone.
Suddenly, he cried out,
''Helen,
forgiVe me for leaving you so Iong.''
Did he say anything else;
That was all.
I'm sorry if I made you more unhappy
by telling you this.
No, I'm not unhappy.
Really, I'm not.
I understand so many things now.
I'm glad I know.
I would haVe gone on loving him.
Grieving for him the rest of my life.
I'm afraid I don't understand,
Mrs. Richardson.
Please...
Please don't call me that.
I want to try and forget
I eVer was Mrs. Richardson.
Then may I call you Helen.
My name is not Helen.
My name is Stephanie.
Not a word about this.
We was gonna surprise you.
You know, fix the joint up a bit and...
Please...
Please don't go to any trouble.
It wasn't any trouble.
We were just trying to make the house
a little brighter.
Yeah, we eVen polished up
the old phonograph, thinking maybe...
Well, it might lighten things up a bit.
Please, Tex.
Just let me slip away quietly
in the morning.
It's so difficult to say goodbye.
We kind of thought it would be
sort of a party,
like we was trying to forget
you was going away from us.
To forget... That's it!
How stupid of me!
We'll haVe a wonderful party!
Say, I didn't think she'd eVer get so
busted up that way over leaving us.
Why did Brandy stay away all evening ;
He loves you, Stephanie.
Yes, I know.
It's unfortunate.
But in time,
perhaps you might learn to loVe him.
How could you expect me
to eVen think of loVing anyone again,
to trust or believe in anything;
Then you wouIdn't want Brandy
to make one foolish mistake
which might ruin his entire Iife.
Of course not.
He mustn't leave here.
Don't worry, Dr. Loren.
Brandy won't go back with me.
You are a Very brave girl, Stephanie.
Mrs. Richardson.
You're not going to let the party
die on us, are you;
No, of course not.
Let's dance.
You made us forget that we were lonely men
hundreds of miles from ciVilization.
- Didn't she, Loren;
- Brandy where haVe you been all evening;
I found Gracco's trail,
we're going after him.
- Tonight;
- Yes, we don't want to lose the trail.
- But I say Brandy...
- Come along, Forrester.
- What a confounded nuisance!
- Brandy...
Brandy, I...
I overheard the quarreI
between you and Scott.
- Please, I'd rather...
- Please, hear me out.
I...
Well...
Tonight, though they didn't say anything
about your going away,
- I knew what they were thinking.
- I don't care what they're thinking.
You can't let your friends down like that.
Please, don't say anything more
about my leaving with you.
They tell me you ran across a clue.
Yes.
If we find Gracco, you won't have to go.
You'll be staying here.
I'll decide that.
Couldn't this thing keep till tomorrow
morning, we're having a swell time.
- Go get the guns and the lanterns.
- OK, boss. Come on, kid.
I'm awfully sorry we've got to go.
We're haVing so much fun.
- Yes, we were haVing lots of fun.
- Come on, Forrester, we'Ve got to go.
It's a bit of a bore, isn't it;
Gracco!
Gracco!
- He can't be very far away.
- Sounded pretty cIose.
I nearly popped the lung.
This thing sure ain't no harmonica.
Listen to that.
Yes, sir.
That's old mother Nature
rolling over in bed.
- Find anything;
- No, not yet.
Where's Forrester;
- I haVen't seen him.
- I told everybody to stay close.
He's gone back to the house.
The house;
Sure.
Wasn't you wise to that;
You go and look for Gracco.
I'll be right back.
Hello, Brandon.
Did you find Gracco;
- Why did you come back here;
- Because Stephanie asked me to.
- I don't belieVe you.
- Look out, you can't call me a Iiar.
- You will keep away from Stephanie.
- Why should I;
Because she Iikes me instead of you.
You're jealous, that's all.
What did you expect;
To find her sitting here waiting for you;
Did you tell Forrester to come back here;
Yes, I did.
Why do you ask;
I suppose because I'm a fool.
You'll start for Tabatinga tomorrow.
Forester can take you.
Scott can go along if he wants to.
I owe you an apology.
I'm sorry.
It's alright, Brandy.
Thanks.
Brandy...
Isn't there anything we could salvage...
out of us to drink to;
Do you remember the day you told Graham
about the earthquake;
You said you broke down.
Cried like a baby.
Well...
I feeI like crying like a baby now.
Do you remember the morning following it;
Day was just breaking.
We couldn't see anything
because of the smoke.
And we found some rum.
You made a toast.
To us.
Is it too much like a farce now...
to drink...
to us;
To us.
To us.
- Brandy, I'm not going.
- Don't be a fooI.
You owe it to...
Stephanie.
Sure busted wide open!
We'll be marooned here for months!
These storms neVer last. In a few days,
we'll be able to send them out.
Send them out;
You're not taking Mrs. Richardson;
I'm sending her with Forrester and you!
You can't take me on the job like this.
I got as much right to be here as you
or anybody eIse. I'm not gonna Ieave.
- For you or her or anybody.
- You heard what I said!
The roof's faIIing in!
It's the tree! If it falls on the house...
Come on, let's see what we can do!
Stay here with her!
Tex, take the other end of the rope
and pull her away from the house.
Stephanie!
Forrester!
Stephanie!
Brandy!
Where are you;
Look!
The camp wiII be fIooded!
Dynamite!
To change the course!
- I'll go with you!
- No, you stay here! Come on!
Look out!
Graham, Scott, bring the other torches!
Keep these torches away from that dynamite!
Over there, Tex. Blast a hole
in the wall leading to the Valley!
GiVe me that dynamite!
There she blows!
Look, Dr. Loren!
I think we'Ve discoVered the tomb!
Look at that dead folks sitting.
That's enough to giVe you the wiIIies.
Look it, here!
Dr. Loren!
It is gold.
This must be the burial crypt
of the Inca chiefs and their queens.
And these are slaves
buried alive with them.
Dead for perhaps hundreds of years.
They're dead all right.
What about those hieroglyphics;
''Death...
''travels...
''with gold.''
- It is what I make it.
- I'm traVeling.
The sooner we got this stuff out of here
and us with it the better.
Say, he ain't as dead
as I thought it was.
How are you, Brandy;
So this is what you'Ve been doing
the last couple of days;
So you're not gonna talk to me;
You're going to cut me dead, is that it;
- There's a fine time to get drunk!
- That's right.
Of course I'm drunk, I gotta forget.
And why;
Just because of a woman.
No woman's worth quarreling oVer.
No woman on Earth.
Get out of here.
Good old Brandy.
Sorry.
Terribly sorry.
Scott didn't mean anything by that.
He's alright.
I guess we're all gone a little haywire.
I can understand the way he feels.
We got what we came for,
fame and money.
One of us died for it.
Some of the best in all of us died for it.
You can count on DaVid's share.
It's yours now.
Thank you Very much.
I appreciate that.
I did my little job pretty weII, didn't it;
Wasn't that what you wanted;
What we both wanted;
You know what's in that box;
- Money and fame, I suppose.
- No, ma'am.
A ranch,
640 acres of a good old Texas dirt,
down in Brazos County,
that's what I'm going to do with my share.
I'm glad somebody got
something worthwhile out of it.
You bet your life.
The doctor here,
he don't care nothing about money.
''We have uncovered history, gentlemen.
History.''
Him and Brandy sure is funny guys.
History is OK, I tell Brandy,
but wait till the right gaI comes along.
And she better be good enough for him.
You know, when you first came here,
I sort of thought you was it;
EVery time I open my big mouth,
I put a stick of dynamite in it.
HeIIo, darling.
Unhappy;
We'll be out of all this tomorrow.
I love you, Stephanie.
Please, don't say that to me now.
Stephanie,
don't you believe that I Iove you.
Of course I do.
Frankly, it's the only honest feeing
I've ever had for a woman.
May I make a little confession;
A rather ironic one.
I'Ve neVer yet asked a woman to marry me.
When we get back to Tabatinga,
will you marry me;
You don't haVe to answer now.
I'll be waiting.
Hey, Brandy!
Hear that, Brandy;
I knew Gracco'd make it.
Quiet, there's something wrong!
Gracco's in trouble.
That's his call for help.
You know what that means;
We are all in trouble.
- We're you going;
- To find him.
What am I here for;
It's a crawling job, Tex,
and some parts of you can't be hidden.
Get a lantern, Graham.
Where are you going;
With you.
Are you trying to make
a blithering hero out of yourself;
We hear Gracco's horn. He's in trouble.
I'm going out there and I don't need help.
Brandy...
GiVe me a chance to prove
what I'm trying to say and can't.
Come on, we'll make it a couple of heroes.
Put your lamp off.
Let's get out of here.
Listen.
Gracco!
- Senor Brandon...
- Gracco, what happened;
One night,
while having the ceremony of fire,
they did this to me, senor.
My hands!
My eyes, senor!
Then when they're all drunk,
Mala, he got me away.
We tried to get to my tribe,
but we got lost in the jungle.
So I come back to warn you, senor.
You must go before they attack.
Tonight;
I don't know, senor.
I don't know.
It's too bad it ends this way,
senor Brandon.
I tried...
but it is too late.
ForgiVe me, senor.
Sit here, Brandon.
Where's Gracco;
He is dead.
Dead;
After what those savages did to him,
I'm glad.
Then we're in for it.
Yes, it looks Iike it.
Now look here.
We have to expect an attack.
It's certain they're coming,
but it'll take them some time
to mass their forces.
Can't we get out tonight;
We're all ready to go.
Let's take a chance.
No, we're much safer here, Graham.
We have a good base with ammunition.
It's too bad part of it
is still in the temple.
But it's too dangerous to get that now.
I think we can hoId off with what we haVe.
We mustn't waste one bullet.
We have enough food to last for weeks.
We've got to get ready
and keep constant watch.
Scott and I will take over
from 2:00 until dawn.
If they intend to attack,
that's probably the time they'll start.
Doctor, you and Graham take oVer from us.
Let's all get some sleep.
Just take off your boots
and keep your guns handy.
At the first sign of attack, wake me up.
- Graham...
- I'm here already.
Anything happen;
At 3:00,
the fires and the drums died down.
They'll probably attack tonight
or tomorrow at dawn.
You think of anything eIse;
No, there's nothing else to be done.
I'm not looking for trouble,
but if they do come,
we'll be ready for them.
Call me at about 10:00,
that'll give me 4 hours.
Yes.
Good morning, Stephanie.
Stephanie,
there's something I must tell you.
- When Brandon and Scott found Gracco...
- Yes, I know.
I heard last night.
Doctor!
Brandy's gone to the temple
for ammunition! He left this.
We're not to come after him
under any circumstances.
That's Brandy!
- I'll go and give him a hand.
- LeaVe him. He'll get through.
They're in the trees.
You're crazy, he'll never make it.
You can't die Iike a dog!
Don't be a fool!
- There's nothing you can do.
- I can try! Somebody's gotta tell him!
Brandy!
Brandy, get down!
Brandy!
Brandy!
Get back! Get back!
- My kit!
- I can stand on my feet! Why this fuss;
Sit down, Brandon.
Heat two irons,
we must cauterize this at once.
- Keep a look at the windows!
- OK, Brandy.
Stephanie, wouId you get
some hot water, pIease;
I hope I go quickIy.
I don't wanna Iinger on Iike Richardson.
What's the good of aII this;
You know it's no use.
Don't be fooIish. There may be a chance,
the poison had no time to circuIate yet.
- Don't go in there.
- But Dr. Loren...
- I toId you not to go in there.
- But he's dying.
They're cauterizing his wounds to burn out
the poison. That's his onIy chance.
You stay here.
Steady, Brandon.
Stephanie!
Stephanie!
Stephanie!
He's caIIing for you.
- For me;
- Yes, pIease go. It might heIp.
Stephanie!
Stephanie.
Don't say anything.
Just rest.
But I want you to know
that I don't bIame you.
I have got it anyway.
Don't Iet me come
between you and Forrester.
I want you to be happy, Stephanie.
Forgive me.
I was siIIy.
Like a jeaIous kid.
Brandy, pIease, don't taIk Iike this.
You'II get better.
Dr. Loren says you might...
No.
No, it's better this way, Stephanie.
OnIy say you forgive me.
I IoVe you, darIing.
Stephanie.
Put your hand on my forehead.
It's so cooI.
He's sIeeping.
PeacefuIIy sIeeping.
Trying to get some rest, I'II watch him.
No, pIease Iet me stay.
We onIy have a few days to be together.
Perhaps onIy a few hours.
How's Brandy;
He's sIeeping peacefuIIy.
SIeeping;
Gee, that's great!
Then he might puII through.
I'm quite certain he wiII now.
Good for Brandy!
How much Ionger do we have to wait;
Not a sound, not a Ieaf moVing!
You'II get pIenty of fun
when you Ieast expect it.
Not a sight of them, the buzzards!
How much Ionger do you think
we can hoId out;
A few nights.
A week perhaps, at the most.
Better not fire anymore
untiI they're right on top of us then.
We can't afford to waste
a singIe cartridge.
You must take it easy, Brandy.
Be a good captain,
run the ship from here.
Yeah, you Iay down there
or I'II sit on you.
You're Iike an oId war horse,
you can't smeII smoke without wanting
to be in the thick of the battIe.
- Say, we're doing pretty weII without you.
- Come on, get out of here, aII of you.
I want to taIk to my doctor.
Come on.
I'II get you a nice cup of warm miIk,
darIing.
Cheer up, Tex, giVe us some music.
We're not dead yet, you know.
Want me to sing;
Sure.
DriVe aII the Indians back in the jungIe.
Not much hope, is there;
A few nights, that's all.
And then;
You know what we're in for.
You saw Gracco.
So we can't be captured.
No.
- How many cartridges haVe you got left;
- Enough for about two rounds.
When don't we use this dynamite;
I'll tell you, Tex.
It's strange to see such a loveIy sunset
and know it's your last.
Funny how you remember little things.
When we left Tabatinga, a girI said to me,
''Senor, I save the Iast dance for you.''
Looks like she'll wait a long time.
Well, there's your 640 acres of dirt, Tex.
Lot of good it's gonna do you now.
You said it.
I always had that crazy idea I wanted
to be planted out there on the prairie.
AIongside my oId man.
He was one of the first settlers
in Brazos County.
It must be spring in Devonshire now.
I've never seen England.
I come from Connecticut.
When the rhododendrons are in bloom,
they tell me you belieVe
you're right in DeVonshire.
Say he never even been to Texas!
Boy, you ought to see the prairie
when she's bIooming.
Someday, you and me will take a coupIe
of pintos and start out at sunrise.
I'll show you something
you'll never forget as long as you...
Yeah...
WeII, we still have haIf a bottle of rum.
That's a good idea, Iet's finish it up.
Skol!
- Now or neVer, Brandy!
- Light the fuse, Tex!
Let him haVe it!
That sure made hamburgers
out of them buzzards.
Well, cheerio.
Gracco;
Mala!
It's Mala!
It's Mala!
There she blows.
Mrs. Brandon, gentlemen,
this is more
than just an anniVersary dinner.
In the Congo, between the Ubangi
and the Lomami RiVers,
there's a dense portion of the jungle
that has never been explored by white men.
- When do we leave, Brandy;
- You're ten jumps ahead of me.
We're as good as there already,
but you'll haVe to square it with Minnie.
I haVe to do a little squaring myself.
Darling...
It's no surprise to me, Brandy, I'Ve seen
that far away Iook in your eyes for months.
And you, Dr. Loren,
have been very busy with maps.
My child,
an adVenturer must haVe his dreams.
I know, and I'm proud of all of you.
To you, darling.
To success.
To adVenture!
Skol!
Come on! Move it!
Come on!
Move!
Move it! Faster!
- I want to see Dr. Loren.
- Si, senor. Is he expecting you;
- He will see me.
- Si, senor.
Dr. Loren;
Yes.
Richardson!
I'm glad to see you. Sit down.
I forgot you haven't met Forrester.
He's one of us.
- How do you do;
- How do you do;
Have a drink.
The beer is excellent.
Of course, for me, it must be in a bock.
You might enjoy this.
It's rum,
juice of the pineapple, guava,
and a dash of wild mint.
They have a very deIightfuI name for it.
They call it the Lovers Kiss.
May I have a Scotch and soda;
Maybe you think we're crazy
to go on an expedition like this.
Frankly, Doctor, I think you are.
A scientist and archaeologist like you
starting off on a wild goose chase
to find Inca ruins
and a buried treasure in the jungle.
No, you're wrong.
I know.
Look, I will show you.
Here are the mountains.
The Andes.
Hundreds of years before the Christian era,
a civilization far greater
than the earIy Egyptians
lived and built magnificent cities
and temples
and underground tombs
such as wound put ancient China to shame.
Here, not over 150 miles
from where we are right now,
they rebuilt their cities, their temples,
and filled them with treasures of gold.
Maybe it is crazy,
but we are going to find those temples
and bring back that gold.
- Do you go up the Javari River;
- As far as the Snake;
- You know the Snake;
- Yes, it's well named.
Few come back alive I'm told.
I think I'll go for a Iittle stroll
through the paseo.
- Don't forget, we're leaving tonight.
- I have an excellent memory.
- You have a pretty good eye too.
- Nils, steady!
- Is he as good an explorer as...
- Forrester is pretty good at everything.
He went into the Bolivian jungle
last year with Keith Brandon.
Who is Brandon;
Who is Brandon;
Brandon is Brandon!
All this talk of Dr. Nils Loren's
expedition is flubbed up.
There would be no expedition
without Brandon, he's organized it,
he got the money from the government,
he got the men together, and what's more,
he keeps them together too.
Come on! MoVe it!
Move! Faster!
There is Brandon.
Get up! Move!
Can't you see he's sick;
Get up and take the stuff on board!
- Go on!
- Si, senor.
- Gracco!
- Si, senor.
- What's the matter with you;
- I'm sick, senor Brandon.
- Get a doctor.
- Si, senor.
- You wish me to fire Carlos;
- No, he'll be one of our best men.
You have what Indians call ''cat's eyes''.
You see in the dark.
- Graham!
- Sir!
- Get all your surveying instruments;
- Sure. I'm all set.
Looks like a first rate crew.
Gracco hand-picked every one of them.
They ought to be.
Flowers, senor;
Beautiful flowers, senor;
I'll need some good luck flowers.
Take mine, senor.
I buy the lot of them.
- Graham!
- Yes, sir;
- Take over.
- Yes, sir!
Too many mosquitoes in Tabatinga.
There we are.
- Senor, please, one moment...
- Goodbye, senorita!
No, senor, not goodbye.
A large beer!
David Richardson, Keith Brandon.
- Hello.
- Ho do you do;
- You're going up the JaVari River ;
- Do you know that part of the jungle;
- I know white men seldom come out of it.
- Yes, we've heard that.
- Plenty of swamps there.
- We know.
- Who's your guide;
- The best, Gracco, he's half Kulinau.
Well, that's a friendly tribe.
Look out for the Mangaromos,
they're headhunters.
We know that too.
Well, thanks Very much for warning us.
I didn't come here to warn you.
I came to join the expedition.
So...
We'll be gone a year, perhaps two.
I should say at least that.
You have no ties, no family;
I'm quite free.
It's just as well.
Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play
Howdy, folks!
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
- Caramba, senor!
- Caramba, senorita. See you later, baby!
- Senor, Scott!
- Hi, Brandy!
You'd better get a moVe on.
Not till I secure a nice relation.
Are they with us;
The big fellow with the Voice, Tex,
is our powder man.
We went through the Matto Grosso with him.
But Scott, it's his first expedition,
you can see he's taking it very seriously!
Hello, beautiful!
- Senor Brandon comes out soon;
- Brandy;
Big brown eyes, he wouldn't look at you
if you were Lady Godiva on an ostrich.
He doesn't appreciate beauty.
Senor, pay us!
We worked all day!
My friend, I don't savvy your lingo,
but I'm telling you, I paid you plenty.
You low down leathery-faced
jug-headed ornery coyote !
Hold this for me!
Hold on, Tex, here come the Marines!
If anything should happen,
if I shouldn't come back,
remember I love you, darling.
Goodbye.
- Well, hello, Richardson!
- Hello.
- I just had a charming farewell myself.
- Yes;
I saw you on the paseo this afternoon
in the most attractive company.
She was Very lovely.
Yes, she is very lovely.
It's rather chilly here in the evening,
doesn't it;
- Gee, we're actually on our way.
- Yes, big explorer stuff.
- Remember how we felt the first time;
- Definitely.
Funny, we swore we'd never do it again,
but here we are.
- Well, here's to adventure!
- Skol!
Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
Tex, that's good, you know.
I wish I could do it like you.
The average Englishman singing this
American song is silly, don't you think ;
Let's see, how does it go;
Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
Put more bassoon into it.
Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Now you'Ve got it!
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
- Home, home on the range.,.
- Don't you know any other song;
- Nope.
- Then I'll teach you one.
What for;
You can't sing two songs at the same time.
Besides, I like this one.
Well, I don't. I'm sick of it.
It's too hot!
You know, you're much too British.
What does the thermometer say, Richardson;
Boy, it's hot.
I'm roasting.
In the swamps, it gets as high as 140.
I thought they never roasted a man
till after he was dead.
That's why they call it the Green Hell.
Strange guy, Richardson
He aIways keeps to himself.
- You know anything about him;
- Nothing.
About the best thing to know
about any man.
Tex, don't look now, but there's...
something moving oVer there.
Them there alligator sure do Iook hungry.
So don't fall in, Tex.
You might poison them.
That wouId be tragic.
How mysterious the jungle is at night.
The more you see of it,
the less you know about it.
Sounds incredibly IoneIy, doesn't it;
I wonder why there's so many lonely people
in such a crowded worId.
Brandy, do you think a man can love
two women at the same time,
in his heart be faithful to each,
and yet want to be free;
What do you want;
An answer or a justification;
Hold up!
There's trouble ahead!
Senor Brandon, plenty men.
Take cover.
Where did they get those guns;
Years ago, an expedition of 50 white men.
They died in these swamps.
Gracco, Gracco...
Gracco!
Senor Brandon!
Senor Brandon! Senor Scott!
Senor, this is my tribe!
These are my people!
That's a lucky break.
Graham, get that box of Jim Cracks!
Senor Brandon explorador.
- All explorador.
- Delighted.
Gracco explorador now too.
How do you do;
He says: ''No presents;''
Sure.
There you are.
Crazy coyotes!
You'd laugh too, if you saw your face.
What am I laughing at;
Senor Brandon!
Senor Brandon! Look!
Ruins! Ruins! We find it!
It's fantastic!
Like the ruins of Angkor.
Or being in a new world.
This looks like the gateway to the citadel.
Quite near here,
we should find the paIaces and temples.
Well, boys, here we are.
We'll build our camp right here.
Tomorrow, we start digging in.
Gracco's men are dying like flies.
It's terrible.
Two more last night.
We've lost twenty at least.
What can we do; These ignorant devils
won't take this serum.
I wish they'd stop that infernal noise.
- It's driving me crazy!
- Take it easy, boy.
We don't want to have
to carry you out there.
I'm alright, doctor.
I wish the rains would come. You can
hardly breathe in this air so thick.
How can Tex and Scott
keep on working in this furnace;
You try and stop them.
Hey, Brandy!
Hey, Brandy!
They're yelling Iike madmen!
Something must haVe happened! Come on!
They must have found something.
- No, you don't. You stay where you are.
- But if they found something...
Whatever it is,
it will wait until tomorrow.
Brandy!
- We found a big hole in the ground.
- A hole; It's a subterranean passage.
- Where;
- Right in there. Come on.
Careful, Brandy, eVerybody.
Ran around this way.
Certainly is some hole.
Gracco, get the torches
and throw them down there.
SmeIIs foul down there.
- Brandy, what do you make of it;
- It's exciting. Evidently it is a passage.
- Shall we see, senor;
- Sure. Come on, let's go.
- This place sure giVes me the creeps.
- Shut up, Tex.
Somebody must haVe been here before.
Look out, senor!
Jararaca snake!
Brandon!
What is it;
Looks like a passage.
What a magnificent race
they must have been. Sun worshippers !
We haVe uncoVered history, gentlemen.
History.
Yeah, but what about all that gold
we were going to find;
There will be tombs.
They're always hidden cIose to the temple.
It may take time, Tex,
but we must be patient.
I'd sure like my Minnie to see this.
Gracco, why are they doing that;
They are afraid, senor.
They cast a spell over eviI spirit.
- Evil spirit haunt ancient ruins.
- I thought you said they were Christians.
Sometimes, senor,
Indian remember old tribal custom.
It's in the blood, senor.
It's like the voice of our ancestors,
calling to us,
warning us.
Gracco!
Pardon, senor.
But me, very much Christian.
When you think how many centuries
have passed since this temple was built,
makes our lives seem rather insignificant.
But awfully important to us, Richardson.
Yes, if we can accept philosophically
what life brings us.
Take care, Richardson.
- Nasty looking gadget.
- Careful. Don't touch that point.
- It's poisoned.
- Wonder what they used;
Jararaca snake.
It paralyzes the motor nerves.
I've seen men Iinger for months
in and out of consciousness.
It's a filthy death.
It's alright.
Richardson, it'll be alright.
Poor devil.
Careful, Richardson.
Richardson, it will be alright.
No, no...
How is he;
Strange guy, Richardson.
I never particularly liked him.
I never understood him.
Trouble is, we never understand
anybody until after they're dead.
Can't you talk about anything but death;
- Cut that out, Graham!
- Why shouId I;
I'm sick. Sick of everything.
This place, the heat, the monotony.
It's all crowding up around me, choking me.
I'm dying.
Just like Richardson in there.
That's enough, Graham.
Give him rum, Tex.
Here.
- I don't want any.
- Go on, drink it.
Is that better;
- I'm sorry.
- What for;
We all crack up once in a while.
Not you, Brandy.
Don't you belieVe it. You remember
that earthquake in Chile, Forrester;
I saw a church collapse on hundreds
of women and kids. Burying them alive.
It was a horrible.
And I just stood there in the middle
of the street and cried Iike a baby.
Sure, I ain't got no use for a guy
who ain't neVer had a good cry.
Shows he's growing up to be a man.
You'll be alright.
Come on, pull yourself together
and stand in with all of us.
You can do it.
We all meet this,
but we come through it by ourselves.
That's what you've got to do.
It's different for you, Brandy.
You've been through all this before.
I never have.
I can't take it, I guess.
You can take it
if you make up your mind to it.
What do you say;
We are ready, senor.
- How many men are you leaving;
- About half, senor.
Look here, Graham. You'd better go back
to Tabatinga with Gracco
- For provisions, serum and ammunition.
- Gee, Brandy.
Don't make me feeI more like a dog
than I do now.
- I'll stick it out.
- That's the stuff.
Get back as quickly as you can.
You may save Mr. Richardson's life.
Si, senor.
Come on, men! Move!
Go take a jump in the river.
OnIy don't forget to come up again.
Thanks, Brandy. For everything.
Oh, shush.
Get down from there! Stand clear!
Not too much of a blast.
If this is a tomb,
we don't want to block our way into it.
- Right, Brandy.
- Look here, Tex.
Let's not have any nonsense
after all these weeks of hard work,
but nothing to show for it.
You just leaVe that to me.
I'm the first guy that ever blasted
the whole through a donut.
There she blows!
The powder baboon has blown it all!
It's a tomb, Dr. Loren ;
It might be
But the whole passage is blocked.
It will take weeks, maybe months,
before we know.
- Find anything;
- Yes, where your brains are.
Get those Indians and tell them
to clean up this mess you made.
It's a pity you didn't stick
to your donuts, Tex.
- They're gone.
- Gone.
What's got into those birds lately;
- Where are they;
- They'Ve gone.
They haVen't been the same
since we started opening up this place.
They're half saVages,
more afraid of the dead than the living.
I know. I came up here one night
and found them performing weird rites
in front of the sun God.
As long as they don't go cannibal on us.
If they do,
you'Ve got plenty to worry about.
Tex, I think you've done
enough damage for one day.
Come on, let's go home, chaps.
It's Gracco!
- Mail from home!
- Oh, boy!
I'll sort it.
Scott, Scott...
Loren.
That's mine!
Scott, Scott...
Popular guy, Scott!
- Say, is there nothing for me;
- Who do you know can write;
Brandon, Brandon...
There's a couple for Richardson.
I'll give them to Brandy.
That's mine too.
Forrester.
I paid this months ago!
Infernal cheaters!
- Scott, where do I come in;
- You're the forgotten man, Tex.
Hello, chum. You're looking a bit grim.
Anything the matter;
The natives tell me
they brought a woman up here.
A what ;
- Did they say what color;
- A white woman.
Maybe that Lulu I met in Tabatinga
followed me out here.
If you brought any woman up here,
I'm gonna kick you right off the job.
Now, Brandy,
you know I wouldn't do a thing like that.
I'm married, ain't I;
She looks pretty ill.
Just a coma.
Jungle feVer;
- A little, I think, but mostly exhaustion.
- Better take her inside.
Who's that woman;
You say to find somebody in Tabatinga
who knows senor Richardson.
- She is his wife, senor.
- His wife;
You had no right to let her come up here.
I tried to stop her, but she begs so hard,
she say nobody eVer tried to stop her.
When she's better, she'll have to go back.
We can't have a woman around here.
Si, senor.
This is my mistake.
- Who is she, Brandy;
- Richardson's wife.
His wife;
- I didn't even know he was married.
- Neither did I.
- What are you going to do about it;
- When she recovers, send her out again.
Go through this stuff, see if there's
a trunk or a chest that belongs to her.
Seems funny haVing a woman in this dump,
even for a few days.
Say, Brandy.
- Who is she;
- Mrs. Richardson.
Oh, shucks!
I knew they'd be a catch in it.
That's strange.
I may be mistaken,
but I think I've seen her before.
In Tabatinga.
Yes.
I hope she's gonna be alright.
She should be alright in a few days.
She's very lovely.
Tell Brandy I want to see him.
- Did you find out who she is;
- Richardson's wife.
Then I did see her with Richardson.
Wonder why he said he wasn't married;
She's a bit of all right, chum.
David...
DaVid....
She must have been terribly in IoVe
with him to make this trek.
Some women do Iove that much, Brandy.
It's going to be tough to tell her.
Get me some cool water, please.
What you doing up at this hour;
It's after 4:00 o'clock.
I'm just restless. Couldn't sleep.
She come out of it yet;
You better turn in.
David...
David...
Where is he;
We're very sorry to have to tell you this,
Mrs. Richardson,
but...
He is dead.
David is dead.
How long ago;
SeVeral weeks.
David!
We did everything we could for him.
Everything.
- Feeling better;
- Feeling fine, thanks, Tex.
You certainly look pretty in that outfit.
We haven't seen any women in such
a long time it makes me kind of homesick.
My Minnie never was much for dressing up.
- I'd like to meet her sometime.
- You would;
You'd like to see a picture;
Look at her.
That's her.
- She has a sweet smile.
- Yeah.
I don't know what she's got to smile about,
poor Minnie. I ain't never home much.
- What are you going in for; Horticulture;
- No.
Chivalry.
I brought these for Mrs. Richardson.
How lovely they are.
You wait till you see
the pure white orchid.
One of these days, I'll go far off
into the deep wilds of the jungle
and get some for you.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- How is my patient ;
- Glad to be out in the sunshine again.
Thank you very much, Mr. Forrester,
for the orchids.
Oh, yes, quite.
You look as though you've been working.
I must say we haVe. It'll be worth it.
When you're better I'll take there.
- Would you like that;
- I'd love it.
Must be fascinating digging in those ruins,
not knowing what you might find.
Now, if I were a man I could help.
I wish you were. I mean...
- I mean, I wish you could.
- What; Be a man;
No, no, no. I mean...
WeII, stay here.
I can't stay here, I only wish I could.
Do you really;
Yes.
It's so beautiful, isn't it;
Yes.
You're dining with us tonight,
Mrs. Richardson;
- I'm looking forward to it.
- We all are.
WeII, you stay quiet for a bit now.
This is going to be quite a memorable
evening tonight. A real guest for dinner.
What's up;
- Tex, you better get yourself a shave.
- What for;
We are entertaining Mrs. Richardson
to dinner tonight.
How do you know she wants us
all spruced up;
We all owe her that much respect.
Gosh, I hate to lose this mesquite.
Just beginning to look like a man.
- Where's my razor;
- Right here, Mr. Morgan.
- You've been sawing wood with it.
- It's an insult to my face.
All this cleaning up ain't natural.
I wouldn't do it for anybody else,
except Minnie.
Forrester, take it easy.
I want a little hair left.
You wish me to comb it for you, sir;
What's going on here;
You all going crazy;
Bonjour, monsieur, Shave;
- Marcel, manicure!
- Shut up.
Good evening, gentlemen.
Doctor, I thought you of all people
would have more sense.
Where is my razor;
But we were fully equipped.
We had 50 natiVes, and it took us
two months to get to this place.
We had to cut our own way through,
it's true, but even then,
for you to get here so quickly,
with just few natives and with a fever,
I think it's amazing.
- You know, you're quite a gaI.
- I think you put up a jolly good show.
But what amazes me is how you ever
came to Iive in a place like Tabatinga.
It has great charm.
We had a small villa
with a beautiful tropical garden.
I was quite happy there.
But it was a bit dreary though, wasn't it;
I mean, sort of remote,
smelly and all that sort of thing.
We've lived in far more
isolated places than that.
Once we spent three months in a native hut
in the Bolivian jungle.
Two winters ago we were in the High Andes.
Snowed in.
Just David and I.
And we spent a whole year
in Indochina looking for...
Well, just looking for adventure.
Did you find it;
Yes.
What did you find;
A little string of wooden beads
in a bazaar.
Two people can be happy with very little.
We didn't need anything else.
There were five wonderful years.
They must have been.
There were times when David
would go away in quite a while.
I stayed at home waiting for him.
Afraid he'd never come back.
But he always did.
Until this time.
Gee, I getting awful homesick.
I wonder what my Minnie is doing now.
Tex, don't bring her out again.
Look, there's a shooting star.
The fireflies are marvelous tonight.
There's another star!
- Did you make a wish;
- Yes.
- Would you Iike to know what it was;
- I'm burning with curiosity.
That all dreams come true...
and a safe landing.
Home.
That's a very sweet wish.
''When he shall die,
take him and cut him out in little stars.
''And he will make the face of heaVen
so fine
''That all the world
wiII fall in Iove with night
''And pay no worship to the garish sun.''
It's been a lovely evening.
Yes, it has.
I suppose you bad better turn in now.
It's much too late for your first party.
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
A remarkable woman, isn't she;
Yes, she is.
I think she had better leave here soon.
Funny how the obVious things
are sometimes the most difficult.
I'll go tell Gracco.
- Where's Gracco;
- He comes in from jungle.
Mrs. Richardson is leaving for Tabatinga
in a few days.
Tell him to get his men ready.
You stay here and take charge.
Si, senor.
Senor Brandon.
Senor Brandon, all my men that work
in the temple are gone.
- Gone where;
- In the jungle. Perhaps back to Tabatinga.
- When did they leave;
- Last night.
- Why didn't you tell me;
- We look for them all night and all day.
No sign of them, senor.
No fires. Nothing.
- How many men have we got left;
- Only Mala and ones I leave on guard.
Go out again with Mala.
We don't need guards.
Come on, run!
- What's up;
- Gracco's men ran out on us.
Nice mess, isn't it;
I don't know. I wouldn't say that.
Sounds like a reprieve.
It will be an extraordinary pleasure
if Mrs. Richardson stays a few more days.
- That's aII it'll be, a few days.
- I'm beginning to believe in fate.
Hold it!
That's not fair.
You haVe the most extraordinary propensity
for looking attractiVe
under the most exacting conditions.
You say that too easily,
it sounds rehearsed.
It is rehearsed.
I've been thinking it for more than a year.
- That's true.
- How could it be;
I saw you in Tabatinga the afternoon
before we left on the expedition.
I eVen remember the hat you were wearing.
One of those large white brim,
with much of those pink things on it.
Yes, that's right.
You were having tea in the cafe
in the paseo.
With DaVid.
I distinctly remember that the orchestra
was playing l kiss your hand, madame.
Why should you remember that;
A man doesn't easily forget
the first time he sees a beautiful woman.
I kiss your hand, madame.
What do you really think
of Mrs. Richardson;
I think she's charming.
Why;
I don't know.
I only hope Brandy
doesn't take it too seriously.
Hello, Scott.
Hello, Brandy.
Your mail is ready;
- Any news of Gracco's men;
- I guess they're still in the jungle.
Don't you think Forrester
is being a bit obvious;
At least, he's being frank about it.
Don't forget, Brandy, you're taking me
to see the temple this afternoon.
Sun worshippers.
- We've been exploring again.
- So I gather.
We went to the old Inca gateway.
Really;
I've been doing a bit of expIoring myself.
I found these for you.
Where's Dr. Loren;
He's out looking for Gracco.
He'd be back by now.
He's been gone seVeral hours.
What if he... he finds him;
That means I'll be leaVing quite soon.
I better start packing tonight.
Will I be going tomorrow;
If we find Gracco, I'm afraid so.
It's going to be very lonely here
without you.
How much longer will you be here;
I don't know.
Few months.
A year, maybe.
And then;
Where will you be;
Where can I find you;
I think I'll return to my mother's home
in Vermont for a while.
I'll be thinking of you.
And hoping you're happy.
I'll be thinking of you too, Brandy.
I can't Iet you go.
- I loVe you, my darling.
- Brandy, please.
Don't say anymore.
I'm so confused.
Anything else you want to send out
beside the mail;
No.
Perhaps you might want these.
They came for your husband.
Thank you.
- Why did you do that;
- They belong to her.
- You didn't have to give her now.
- Why not now; I'll tell you why.
You don't want her to think about
her husband, you want her to forget him.
Not as sign of Gracco.
I'm terribly worried. He couldn't be
so far away he wouldn't hear the horn.
- He couldn't have deserted;
- I don't know. CouId have been captured.
- By the Mangaromos;
- I doubt it, we'd haVe heard shots.
What if they don't return;
Does Mrs. Richardson stay here;
I'm taking her back to Tabatinga.
- It's been your idea all along, hasn't it;
- What are you talking about;
- I don't think you better say anymore.
- Why not; Can't you face the truth;
- I've never been afraid of the truth.
- Then listen to it.
Ever since we started, you'Ve been
preaching to us about sticking on the job.
Stick on the job, stick on the job!
You've pounded that into us!
And now look at you. Because of a woman,
you're going back on everything.
But not one of us could run this camp
without you. Not one of us, you know it.
- I think you'Ve said enough.
- I hope I haVe.
''Six years of waiting is incredibly long.
''I love you
''and I'll always love you.
''That's why I refuse to divorce you.
''Helen.''
May I ask you something;
Of course Mrs. Richardson.
Come in.
Tell me, Dr. Loren,
did DaVid...
before he died...
did he...
say anything;
I mean...
about the past or...
or about...
me;
Just before the end, he called for you.
He called for me;
Are you sure;
We were alone.
Suddenly, he cried out,
''Helen,
forgiVe me for leaving you so Iong.''
Did he say anything else;
That was all.
I'm sorry if I made you more unhappy
by telling you this.
No, I'm not unhappy.
Really, I'm not.
I understand so many things now.
I'm glad I know.
I would haVe gone on loving him.
Grieving for him the rest of my life.
I'm afraid I don't understand,
Mrs. Richardson.
Please...
Please don't call me that.
I want to try and forget
I eVer was Mrs. Richardson.
Then may I call you Helen.
My name is not Helen.
My name is Stephanie.
Not a word about this.
We was gonna surprise you.
You know, fix the joint up a bit and...
Please...
Please don't go to any trouble.
It wasn't any trouble.
We were just trying to make the house
a little brighter.
Yeah, we eVen polished up
the old phonograph, thinking maybe...
Well, it might lighten things up a bit.
Please, Tex.
Just let me slip away quietly
in the morning.
It's so difficult to say goodbye.
We kind of thought it would be
sort of a party,
like we was trying to forget
you was going away from us.
To forget... That's it!
How stupid of me!
We'll haVe a wonderful party!
Say, I didn't think she'd eVer get so
busted up that way over leaving us.
Why did Brandy stay away all evening ;
He loves you, Stephanie.
Yes, I know.
It's unfortunate.
But in time,
perhaps you might learn to loVe him.
How could you expect me
to eVen think of loVing anyone again,
to trust or believe in anything;
Then you wouIdn't want Brandy
to make one foolish mistake
which might ruin his entire Iife.
Of course not.
He mustn't leave here.
Don't worry, Dr. Loren.
Brandy won't go back with me.
You are a Very brave girl, Stephanie.
Mrs. Richardson.
You're not going to let the party
die on us, are you;
No, of course not.
Let's dance.
You made us forget that we were lonely men
hundreds of miles from ciVilization.
- Didn't she, Loren;
- Brandy where haVe you been all evening;
I found Gracco's trail,
we're going after him.
- Tonight;
- Yes, we don't want to lose the trail.
- But I say Brandy...
- Come along, Forrester.
- What a confounded nuisance!
- Brandy...
Brandy, I...
I overheard the quarreI
between you and Scott.
- Please, I'd rather...
- Please, hear me out.
I...
Well...
Tonight, though they didn't say anything
about your going away,
- I knew what they were thinking.
- I don't care what they're thinking.
You can't let your friends down like that.
Please, don't say anything more
about my leaving with you.
They tell me you ran across a clue.
Yes.
If we find Gracco, you won't have to go.
You'll be staying here.
I'll decide that.
Couldn't this thing keep till tomorrow
morning, we're having a swell time.
- Go get the guns and the lanterns.
- OK, boss. Come on, kid.
I'm awfully sorry we've got to go.
We're haVing so much fun.
- Yes, we were haVing lots of fun.
- Come on, Forrester, we'Ve got to go.
It's a bit of a bore, isn't it;
Gracco!
Gracco!
- He can't be very far away.
- Sounded pretty cIose.
I nearly popped the lung.
This thing sure ain't no harmonica.
Listen to that.
Yes, sir.
That's old mother Nature
rolling over in bed.
- Find anything;
- No, not yet.
Where's Forrester;
- I haVen't seen him.
- I told everybody to stay close.
He's gone back to the house.
The house;
Sure.
Wasn't you wise to that;
You go and look for Gracco.
I'll be right back.
Hello, Brandon.
Did you find Gracco;
- Why did you come back here;
- Because Stephanie asked me to.
- I don't belieVe you.
- Look out, you can't call me a Iiar.
- You will keep away from Stephanie.
- Why should I;
Because she Iikes me instead of you.
You're jealous, that's all.
What did you expect;
To find her sitting here waiting for you;
Did you tell Forrester to come back here;
Yes, I did.
Why do you ask;
I suppose because I'm a fool.
You'll start for Tabatinga tomorrow.
Forester can take you.
Scott can go along if he wants to.
I owe you an apology.
I'm sorry.
It's alright, Brandy.
Thanks.
Brandy...
Isn't there anything we could salvage...
out of us to drink to;
Do you remember the day you told Graham
about the earthquake;
You said you broke down.
Cried like a baby.
Well...
I feeI like crying like a baby now.
Do you remember the morning following it;
Day was just breaking.
We couldn't see anything
because of the smoke.
And we found some rum.
You made a toast.
To us.
Is it too much like a farce now...
to drink...
to us;
To us.
To us.
- Brandy, I'm not going.
- Don't be a fooI.
You owe it to...
Stephanie.
Sure busted wide open!
We'll be marooned here for months!
These storms neVer last. In a few days,
we'll be able to send them out.
Send them out;
You're not taking Mrs. Richardson;
I'm sending her with Forrester and you!
You can't take me on the job like this.
I got as much right to be here as you
or anybody eIse. I'm not gonna Ieave.
- For you or her or anybody.
- You heard what I said!
The roof's faIIing in!
It's the tree! If it falls on the house...
Come on, let's see what we can do!
Stay here with her!
Tex, take the other end of the rope
and pull her away from the house.
Stephanie!
Forrester!
Stephanie!
Brandy!
Where are you;
Look!
The camp wiII be fIooded!
Dynamite!
To change the course!
- I'll go with you!
- No, you stay here! Come on!
Look out!
Graham, Scott, bring the other torches!
Keep these torches away from that dynamite!
Over there, Tex. Blast a hole
in the wall leading to the Valley!
GiVe me that dynamite!
There she blows!
Look, Dr. Loren!
I think we'Ve discoVered the tomb!
Look at that dead folks sitting.
That's enough to giVe you the wiIIies.
Look it, here!
Dr. Loren!
It is gold.
This must be the burial crypt
of the Inca chiefs and their queens.
And these are slaves
buried alive with them.
Dead for perhaps hundreds of years.
They're dead all right.
What about those hieroglyphics;
''Death...
''travels...
''with gold.''
- It is what I make it.
- I'm traVeling.
The sooner we got this stuff out of here
and us with it the better.
Say, he ain't as dead
as I thought it was.
How are you, Brandy;
So this is what you'Ve been doing
the last couple of days;
So you're not gonna talk to me;
You're going to cut me dead, is that it;
- There's a fine time to get drunk!
- That's right.
Of course I'm drunk, I gotta forget.
And why;
Just because of a woman.
No woman's worth quarreling oVer.
No woman on Earth.
Get out of here.
Good old Brandy.
Sorry.
Terribly sorry.
Scott didn't mean anything by that.
He's alright.
I guess we're all gone a little haywire.
I can understand the way he feels.
We got what we came for,
fame and money.
One of us died for it.
Some of the best in all of us died for it.
You can count on DaVid's share.
It's yours now.
Thank you Very much.
I appreciate that.
I did my little job pretty weII, didn't it;
Wasn't that what you wanted;
What we both wanted;
You know what's in that box;
- Money and fame, I suppose.
- No, ma'am.
A ranch,
640 acres of a good old Texas dirt,
down in Brazos County,
that's what I'm going to do with my share.
I'm glad somebody got
something worthwhile out of it.
You bet your life.
The doctor here,
he don't care nothing about money.
''We have uncovered history, gentlemen.
History.''
Him and Brandy sure is funny guys.
History is OK, I tell Brandy,
but wait till the right gaI comes along.
And she better be good enough for him.
You know, when you first came here,
I sort of thought you was it;
EVery time I open my big mouth,
I put a stick of dynamite in it.
HeIIo, darling.
Unhappy;
We'll be out of all this tomorrow.
I love you, Stephanie.
Please, don't say that to me now.
Stephanie,
don't you believe that I Iove you.
Of course I do.
Frankly, it's the only honest feeing
I've ever had for a woman.
May I make a little confession;
A rather ironic one.
I'Ve neVer yet asked a woman to marry me.
When we get back to Tabatinga,
will you marry me;
You don't haVe to answer now.
I'll be waiting.
Hey, Brandy!
Hear that, Brandy;
I knew Gracco'd make it.
Quiet, there's something wrong!
Gracco's in trouble.
That's his call for help.
You know what that means;
We are all in trouble.
- We're you going;
- To find him.
What am I here for;
It's a crawling job, Tex,
and some parts of you can't be hidden.
Get a lantern, Graham.
Where are you going;
With you.
Are you trying to make
a blithering hero out of yourself;
We hear Gracco's horn. He's in trouble.
I'm going out there and I don't need help.
Brandy...
GiVe me a chance to prove
what I'm trying to say and can't.
Come on, we'll make it a couple of heroes.
Put your lamp off.
Let's get out of here.
Listen.
Gracco!
- Senor Brandon...
- Gracco, what happened;
One night,
while having the ceremony of fire,
they did this to me, senor.
My hands!
My eyes, senor!
Then when they're all drunk,
Mala, he got me away.
We tried to get to my tribe,
but we got lost in the jungle.
So I come back to warn you, senor.
You must go before they attack.
Tonight;
I don't know, senor.
I don't know.
It's too bad it ends this way,
senor Brandon.
I tried...
but it is too late.
ForgiVe me, senor.
Sit here, Brandon.
Where's Gracco;
He is dead.
Dead;
After what those savages did to him,
I'm glad.
Then we're in for it.
Yes, it looks Iike it.
Now look here.
We have to expect an attack.
It's certain they're coming,
but it'll take them some time
to mass their forces.
Can't we get out tonight;
We're all ready to go.
Let's take a chance.
No, we're much safer here, Graham.
We have a good base with ammunition.
It's too bad part of it
is still in the temple.
But it's too dangerous to get that now.
I think we can hoId off with what we haVe.
We mustn't waste one bullet.
We have enough food to last for weeks.
We've got to get ready
and keep constant watch.
Scott and I will take over
from 2:00 until dawn.
If they intend to attack,
that's probably the time they'll start.
Doctor, you and Graham take oVer from us.
Let's all get some sleep.
Just take off your boots
and keep your guns handy.
At the first sign of attack, wake me up.
- Graham...
- I'm here already.
Anything happen;
At 3:00,
the fires and the drums died down.
They'll probably attack tonight
or tomorrow at dawn.
You think of anything eIse;
No, there's nothing else to be done.
I'm not looking for trouble,
but if they do come,
we'll be ready for them.
Call me at about 10:00,
that'll give me 4 hours.
Yes.
Good morning, Stephanie.
Stephanie,
there's something I must tell you.
- When Brandon and Scott found Gracco...
- Yes, I know.
I heard last night.
Doctor!
Brandy's gone to the temple
for ammunition! He left this.
We're not to come after him
under any circumstances.
That's Brandy!
- I'll go and give him a hand.
- LeaVe him. He'll get through.
They're in the trees.
You're crazy, he'll never make it.
You can't die Iike a dog!
Don't be a fool!
- There's nothing you can do.
- I can try! Somebody's gotta tell him!
Brandy!
Brandy, get down!
Brandy!
Brandy!
Get back! Get back!
- My kit!
- I can stand on my feet! Why this fuss;
Sit down, Brandon.
Heat two irons,
we must cauterize this at once.
- Keep a look at the windows!
- OK, Brandy.
Stephanie, wouId you get
some hot water, pIease;
I hope I go quickIy.
I don't wanna Iinger on Iike Richardson.
What's the good of aII this;
You know it's no use.
Don't be fooIish. There may be a chance,
the poison had no time to circuIate yet.
- Don't go in there.
- But Dr. Loren...
- I toId you not to go in there.
- But he's dying.
They're cauterizing his wounds to burn out
the poison. That's his onIy chance.
You stay here.
Steady, Brandon.
Stephanie!
Stephanie!
Stephanie!
He's caIIing for you.
- For me;
- Yes, pIease go. It might heIp.
Stephanie!
Stephanie.
Don't say anything.
Just rest.
But I want you to know
that I don't bIame you.
I have got it anyway.
Don't Iet me come
between you and Forrester.
I want you to be happy, Stephanie.
Forgive me.
I was siIIy.
Like a jeaIous kid.
Brandy, pIease, don't taIk Iike this.
You'II get better.
Dr. Loren says you might...
No.
No, it's better this way, Stephanie.
OnIy say you forgive me.
I IoVe you, darIing.
Stephanie.
Put your hand on my forehead.
It's so cooI.
He's sIeeping.
PeacefuIIy sIeeping.
Trying to get some rest, I'II watch him.
No, pIease Iet me stay.
We onIy have a few days to be together.
Perhaps onIy a few hours.
How's Brandy;
He's sIeeping peacefuIIy.
SIeeping;
Gee, that's great!
Then he might puII through.
I'm quite certain he wiII now.
Good for Brandy!
How much Ionger do we have to wait;
Not a sound, not a Ieaf moVing!
You'II get pIenty of fun
when you Ieast expect it.
Not a sight of them, the buzzards!
How much Ionger do you think
we can hoId out;
A few nights.
A week perhaps, at the most.
Better not fire anymore
untiI they're right on top of us then.
We can't afford to waste
a singIe cartridge.
You must take it easy, Brandy.
Be a good captain,
run the ship from here.
Yeah, you Iay down there
or I'II sit on you.
You're Iike an oId war horse,
you can't smeII smoke without wanting
to be in the thick of the battIe.
- Say, we're doing pretty weII without you.
- Come on, get out of here, aII of you.
I want to taIk to my doctor.
Come on.
I'II get you a nice cup of warm miIk,
darIing.
Cheer up, Tex, giVe us some music.
We're not dead yet, you know.
Want me to sing;
Sure.
DriVe aII the Indians back in the jungIe.
Not much hope, is there;
A few nights, that's all.
And then;
You know what we're in for.
You saw Gracco.
So we can't be captured.
No.
- How many cartridges haVe you got left;
- Enough for about two rounds.
When don't we use this dynamite;
I'll tell you, Tex.
It's strange to see such a loveIy sunset
and know it's your last.
Funny how you remember little things.
When we left Tabatinga, a girI said to me,
''Senor, I save the Iast dance for you.''
Looks like she'll wait a long time.
Well, there's your 640 acres of dirt, Tex.
Lot of good it's gonna do you now.
You said it.
I always had that crazy idea I wanted
to be planted out there on the prairie.
AIongside my oId man.
He was one of the first settlers
in Brazos County.
It must be spring in Devonshire now.
I've never seen England.
I come from Connecticut.
When the rhododendrons are in bloom,
they tell me you belieVe
you're right in DeVonshire.
Say he never even been to Texas!
Boy, you ought to see the prairie
when she's bIooming.
Someday, you and me will take a coupIe
of pintos and start out at sunrise.
I'll show you something
you'll never forget as long as you...
Yeah...
WeII, we still have haIf a bottle of rum.
That's a good idea, Iet's finish it up.
Skol!
- Now or neVer, Brandy!
- Light the fuse, Tex!
Let him haVe it!
That sure made hamburgers
out of them buzzards.
Well, cheerio.
Gracco;
Mala!
It's Mala!
It's Mala!
There she blows.
Mrs. Brandon, gentlemen,
this is more
than just an anniVersary dinner.
In the Congo, between the Ubangi
and the Lomami RiVers,
there's a dense portion of the jungle
that has never been explored by white men.
- When do we leave, Brandy;
- You're ten jumps ahead of me.
We're as good as there already,
but you'll haVe to square it with Minnie.
I haVe to do a little squaring myself.
Darling...
It's no surprise to me, Brandy, I'Ve seen
that far away Iook in your eyes for months.
And you, Dr. Loren,
have been very busy with maps.
My child,
an adVenturer must haVe his dreams.
I know, and I'm proud of all of you.
To you, darling.
To success.
To adVenture!
Skol!
