DEATH IN THE GARDEN
Alberto, come and eat!
Just like home, though we have to make do a bit.
When you're broke, anything's good.
I like a healthy appetite.
It wasn't for nothing that I learned my way around the kitchen. Soon now
You're going to open a restaurant in Marseilles. We know, Castin.
That's just what I'm going to do.
And not just a restaurant
You're full of ideas.
What do they want?
Never mind.Just eat.
Soldiers. Never a good sign.
Listen up! This concerns you!
Hurry LIP!
Let's see what's going on.
"With reference to Article 36 of the Constitution...
in the matter of Article 8 of the law dated 7 March, 1945...
it is ordered as follows:
All prospecting in the Guluva Valley diamond fields must cease immediately.
All exploration rights are reserved exclusively by the state...
or agencies appointed by the Governor.
This order is effective from tomorrow.
Claims must be evacuated today.
Any equipment not removed will be confiscated.
Governor of the Province, Roberto Guzman."
Tell the others!
What's he talking about?
It's plain enough. They're kicking us out.
Bastards!
The government's grabbing it all.
We won't let them. We staked our claims.
What can we do?
I'll find Captain Ferrero and give him a piece of my mind.
He's right, Alberto.
You heard? Those who want to see the captain, follow me.
They seem to be getting excited.
Nervous?
Keep your mind on the game and you won't hear.
I think there's going to be trouble.
Be quiet, Lieutenant. Let me concentrate.
Captain, a delegation to see you.
- How many? - At least 40.
I'll see them, but follow the book. Understand, Sergeant?
Yes, Captain.
Do what's necessary, then send them in.
Your mistake, Captain.
- We'll talk about this. - Here comes the sergeant.
Quiet!
The captain will see you all, but you must leave your guns outside.
You'll get them back when you leave. That's regulations.
What do we do, Alberto?
We're not going to give up our guns!
We're here to talk, aren't we?
You really think you can talk to these people?
Don't trust them, comrades!
Alberto's right! An unarmed man is of no account!
Let's go!
Checkmate, Captain.
There's no doubt.
They refuse to give up their guns.
I'm getting fed up with those guys.
Get rid of them, Lieutenant!
Yes, Captain!
We want to talk to the captain!
Line up!
Go on!
I demand to see the captain!
Sound the bugle!
Prepare arms!
Reload!
Leave him!
He's not from here.
Listen!
Any cigarettes?
You're right. It's unfair.
But what can we do?
We hardly have any guns.
If they bring in reinforcements, we're ruined.
The strong take the law into their own hands.
The weak knuckle under.
That's the choice we have!
Well said.
We can't let that bunch of bastards walk all over us.
A fine lot we are, running off when they start firing.
They took us by surprise, but it's not over yet!
- Did you understand? - Not a word!
Go to hell, you wretch!
What's the matter?
Cat got your tongue?
Leave the girl alone!
- What's it to you? - I'm her father!
You'd be the same if you had kids.
Family men oughtn't act so brave!
Let me go!
Silly old fart!
I'm all right.
He didn't hurt you, did he?
Bastard!
How are the boots?
The bastard!
Talk is weak. We've got to fight back!
We'll occupy the claims in the morning. Bring guns. We must be prepared.
There's 40 of them, and over 200 of us.
If we're there in force, they won't dare attack.
Suppose they do?
The mightiest one clay shall stand weakest the next.
Who's this guy?
It's Father Lizzardi, the missionary.
Why's he poking his nose in here? Did you lose something?
Forgive me, but it's my duty to warn you: You'll get killed!
Don't be so sure!
We can't let them fleece us like sheep!
We're not afraid of Captain Ferrero.
Colonel Sandoval's men are only a day's march away.
We'll worry when they get here.
It'll be a pointless massacre.
Revolt always ends in merciless repression.
You've hardly been here two weeks, Father, so mind your own business.
Save your breath for converting Indians and leave us alone.
We're big boys now. We don't need your advice.
Very well, but defying authority will get you nowhere.
Those who live by the sword, die by the sword.
So it's threats now?
Enough talk. Let's go!
What fine boots you have, Maria.
Good evening, Father Lizzardi. What can I get you?
Good evening, Juan.
You're right, Father. No good ever came of fighting.
I'm disappointed to find you with these rebels.
You're a peaceable man.
This isn't your fight.
I'm peaceable, but we're in this together- me and my mates.
I'm talking not as a priest, but a friend.
You owe it to your daughter not to throw away your life. You're all she has.
But, Father, you know I plan to get out of here as soon as I've saved enough.
I'm like you. I don't like fights.
- Especially with the government. - You're a sensible man.
Yes, I'm a sensible man.
One must be sensible
Maria, let's go!
- Good-bye, Father. - Good-bye, my son.
Thank you, Mr. Castin.
Tell me, is Chenco's boat due to arrive today?
- What clay is this? - Wednesday.
In that case, tomorrow, at the latest.
Your watch tells what clay it is?
YES.
It must have cost a fortune.
No doubt, but it's not mine. Our order received them as gifts.
Have a look.
- All our missionaries wear them. - Very pretty.
N... R... C.
Northern Refinery Company.
"For the heroic missionaries in Mambuti."
Magnificent!
Let me know when Chenco gets here. I'm anxious to leave.
Where does Chenco's boat go?
To the Marques plantation, before the Cucumi rapids, on the Brazilian border.
- You'll let me know? - As soon as it arrives.
Father Lizzardi's quite a man!
His first mission and he's sent to replace Father Sanchez with the Venantes Indians.
Awful savages. He might just
get his head shrunk? He wouldn't miss it much.
- How much for this lighter? - Five!
Do you have rooms for rent?
No vacancies, unless you want to bunk in the stable with your horse.
I'd like to sleep in a bed tonight.
You can find anything here for a price.
- Even a bed? - Even a bed, but it'll cost you!
Just tell me where.
Easy. Turn right as you leave.
The house with the arcade. You can't miss it.
Anybody here?
What are you doing here?
Me?
I'm in my bed. How about you?
It seems I'm in your bed, too.
Aren't you amazed?
A comfortable bed always amazes me.
You're not very polite.
Nice muscles.
Powerful men always make a good impression.
Only I'm different. What I need is
Ah, I see.
Small bills aren't my style.
- Do you see big ones often? - Not as often as I'd like.
Ah, diamond prospectors
they excite the imagination.
It's why I came to this hole. Not that I'm complaining, I manage.
You don't look the type.
Hey! Have you forgotten? I'm a professional.
If that's the problem, it can be fixed.
I have what you need.
Aren't you afraid to carry all that money on you?
A body is perishable.
It could also pick a fight if anyone got too interested.
You've an answer for everything.
What's your name, by the way?
- Chark. - That packs a punch.
- Are you scared? - Oh, yes.
And you?
They call me Djin.
In Indian dialect it's the name of a bird.
- Does it suit me? - As well as anybody.
On your feet! Follow me!
- What for? - No time for questions. Get a move on!
- Not unless I know why. - Sergeant!
Take him away!
You'll pay for this, my friend.
Take him away!
I'll see you again, bitch!
Maria.
- Here, for you. - Thank you, Mr. Chenco.
- Thank you. - Thank you very much, Mr. Chenco.
Pay me back next month.
And remember, nothing is more important than making money.
- Right, Mr. Chenco. - This is a good spot for girls who know how.
Diamond prospectors are big spenders.
I'm the opposite, a real miser.
Right you are. Off you go now.
Good luck, girls!
Hi.
- So is this wallet yours? - Who else's could it be?
And the money inside of it?
Mine and nobody else's.
Did you pass through Cimarunha?
Never been there.
Of course not.
Why should you go there?
Yeah, you're a nice guy.
A bank in Cimarunha was held up by some foreigners.
- What do you say to that? - I had nothing to do with it.
Yet you were seen in Cimarunha!
I've never set foot there!
Bring him in!
- Hello, Captain! - Hello, sir!
Do you know this man?
I've seen him somewhere, but I don't remember where.
Was it in Cimarunha?
Yes! He's one of the bank robbers. I saw his picture on the posters.
How much are they paying you? You bastard!
Sorry, Captain.
Corporal.
Take him in the jeep and turn him over to the Cimarunha police!
I know that one. A bullet in the back for attempted escape!
Lock him up!
Congratulations, Captain. You handled that well.
Just a minute, Chenco.
We have a business matter to discuss.
Well?
They ambushed us. We had no time to defend ourselves, Lieutenant.
Fools! We give you guns so you can use them.
Who killed the corporal?
It wasn't me.
Stick that scumbag in a cell!
Oh, Maria!
Here, toss this.
My poor girl. There's nothing left for us here.
We'll go back to France. France!
It's my country.
We have some money. Quite a bit, in fact.
You'll be happier there...
and you'll get medical treatment!
But we might not be going alone.
There's a lady who likes you...
and I like her.
Maybe she will come with us.
You wouldn't mind?
You're an angel. Always willing to make your clad happy.
There, she is. Isn't she pretty?
She's to answer me tonight.
We have to talk, Chenco.
What's wrong?
Listen, I've thought it over.
Tell your Captain Ferrero that I disagree with the terms.
The lion's share is always his.
Don't get upset.
We need him and you know it.
That's no reason! He needs us too!
I can't continue like this.
All right, don't get mad. I'll convince him to take a smaller cut.
Don't you trust me?
Oh, sure,just looking at you inspires confidence.
- Djin, I want to talk to you. - Go ahead!
Not here.
Over there?
Okay.
What's on your mind?
What do you think of Castin?
- He's a nice guy. - That's all?
That's not so bad considering this town is crawling with nothing but bastards.
Well, this nice guy wants to marry you.
That's hilarious! Did he send you?
Well, I wanted to know what you think.
What I think? Wait!
There's a gentleman asking for my hand! How about that?
This is serious!
Can't I enjoy it? This is pretty funny!
So, what's your answer?
Listen, Alberto. You know who I am, don't you?
You understand this is a little shocking?
A guy who was always coming around, then two months ago he stopped.
And to top it off, he's always in church.
I don't see how you two can be friends.
Castin wants to marry you because he's free of bourgeois prejudices.
He'd be raising you into a decent family.
And that fits in with my ideas.
He's a good man, and that means a lot.
Oh, me and decent families.
Besides, he's no spring chicken.
No, I'm not interested.
What is it?
I was going to settle the accounts. I'll come back.
Okay.
Be careful how you subtract.
Castin's 68 and he's rich.
He wants to open a restaurant in Marseilles.
This climate's taken a lot out of him.
You'll be a young widow before you know it.
Are you sure he's loaded?
He's got more money than any of us.
Tell him to come and see me tonight. We'll talk about it.
You bitch! I wanted to see what you were like.
You're worse than I thought.
A good man offers you a helping hand and all you think of is his money.
You couldn't wait for him to die.
You make me sick!
What's got into you?
I never said I was scared of money!
Nobody make a move!
- Any weapons hidden here? - Yes, in here.
They're looking for weapons because of the riots.
Hands UP!
Take their weapons!
Now get the hell out!
Hey, Alberto!
Don't forget to tell Castin to come see me tonight!
Whenever you wish.
Here, Father.
- How is he? - Like someone with little blood left.
My son, your comrade has tended your body as best he could.
I wish to console you in the name of our Lord and his Holy Church.
Some help that is with a bullet in me.
Do not speak with such bitterness, my son.
Think of your soul.
Ah, shit!
I want to help you.
Do not think of me as an enemy.
I am only here to ease your suffering.
I ask nothing of you...
except one word of repentance, and I shall lead you to God.
Piss off!
Alvaro, don't refuse the priest.
Listen to him. He can comfort you.
Then you confess and leave me out of this.
You're tough enough to face the barrel of a gun, but what about the afterlife?
The priest can help you with that.
Your comrade is right, my son. We must forget our pride.
God alone is Omnipotent.
And repentance doesn't cost a thing!
Shut up, Bible-thumper!
Poor lad. I can do nothing more here.
You did your best. Thank you.
I'll be outside if you need me.
Okay, Father.
Father!
Would you do me a big favour?
Yes, my son, if I can.
I don't know what they have in store for me...
but I left my old mother in Europe when I set out to make my fortune.
You see the mess I'm in? I'd liked to write to her...
then have you confess me.
I shall, my son.
You have something to write with?
Not on me, but I'll ask the guards.
Guard, open LIP!
- A pen and paper for the prisoner? - But I don't have the authority
Get them, and I will take full responsibility.
- All right, Father. - Thank you.
Father, he's lost consciousness.
Death must be approaching.
Don't get Up
Works like new.
Have the firing squad ready by midnight.
But, Captain, an execution at night?
Why not? He'll serve as an example!
I'll show these idiots I'm not joking.
Forward march!
- Look, Alberto. - Leave me alone!
Load !
Arm!
Aim!
- Down with firing squads! - Murderers!
Over there!
To the left!
Here. Give me that!
- Can you bring it right away? - Yes.
Go!
Got any bullets left?
Make do with that.
Here, it's full!
Pass me the revolver!
- Want me to go with you? - No, I know the way.
- What did they say? - Reinforcements arrive at 8:00 a.m.
- Who's in command? - Colonel Sandoval.
A machine gun section, cavalry squadron and 100 infantrymen.
What is it?
It's me, Castin.
- Let me in, quickly. - It's you?
- Are you hurt? - It's nothing. I can explain.
- In the fight, right? - Yes.
This never would have happened if you'd come instead of sending a friend.
But I didn't do anything!
It was the others.
Attention!
Right face!
Forward march!
"In view of the savage and bloody riots...
provoked by mainly foreign adventurers...
martial law has been declared until further notice.
We know the ringleaders. They will be mercilessly hunted down.
Two have met the death they deserved. The other two have fled.
Castin, who inspired the revolt, and one Chark, who blew up the armoury.
A reward of 5,000 pesos is offered for each of them, dead or alive.
If the two culprits are not found within 24 hours...
four of their comrades, selected at random, will be shot.
Signed, Colonel Sandoval, Commandant."
Are you alone? Where's your father?
Your father, where is he?
Wait! Your father, has he gone?
They're shooting outside. It's dangerous. I must talk to him.
Please, tell me!
Didn't he sleep here?
I don't understand. Why did you come here to hide?
I hadn't planned things this way.
You were expecting an invitation?
No, but I thought of you as my wife, so here
Oh, yeah. That's right.
Don't say I'm here!
- What is it? - Please let me in!
I must speak to Castin immediately. It's very important.
Come in.
This way.
I hesitated coming for you in a place like this.
- Father, let me explain - First, listen to what I have to say!
I wouldn't have believed it of you, leading a riot.
But I didn't
The soldiers saw you among the agitators.
They shot at you, didn't they?
One of you has already paid for his sin with his life.
Now they're looking for you.
Me? But I didn't do anything!
You didn't do anything?
I wasn't even there!
Listen.
If you're not found in 24 hours, four hostages will be shot.
The new commandant has put a price of 5,000 pesos on your head.
- 5,000 pesos? - That's awful!
- There's nothing I can do. - Yes, there is
Yeah, like leaving my house at once! I want no part of this mess!
What should I do, Father?
You're asking me? You must give yourself up.
Give myself up? But I didn't do anything!
- Innocents will be shot because of you! - Innocents? I'm innocent, too!
I didn't fire a shot! I wasn't even armed! She can tell you that.
This person's testimony
What are you trying to say?
The colonel believes his soldiers. And to them, you're guilty.
Four innocent lives depend on you.
I told you I did nothing!
I'd be turning in an innocent man if I gave myself up! Tell him, Djin!
Get the hell out! If they find you here, I'm screwed!
- But I'm innocent - Then tell them!
- All right, Father. - Turn yourself in, Castin.
I promise to go with you and talk to the colonel.
Thanks to you, hostages' lives will be saved.
Djin, we just want to know if Castin's in there!
Open the door!
He'll be better off with us than with the soldiers.
Get out of my way!
Open up. Djin!
They'll turn me in.
Do something, Father!
What'll become of my daughter without me?
What about me?
Get out! I won't have you found here!
- How? - Sneak out the kitchen.
They'll see me.
I'll get arrested if they find you here!
Go on!
That's some way to behave!
Where's Castin?
He's not here.
- Stop pulling our legs! - I told you he's not here!
- So why didn't you open up? - Because I was busy.
Busy, huh?
- We'll see about that. - Let's have a look.
Ferrero's been arrested and his gang is being interrogated. We have to leave town.
Meet me at my boat tonight. We'll take off together.
No sign of him!
- Well? - He's not there.
- And there? - That's my bedroom.
Step aside!
Father Lizzardi, for Gods sake, I never would have imagined it!
I'd never have believed it of a priest either
He's just giving Djin confession.
Brethren, don't judge me by appearances.
Don't call me brother! My family has nothing to hide!
Wait till everyone hears about this
Happy now?
We've seen enough!
Then beat it!
Sorry for the interruption, Father.
Oh, Father...
I heard everything they said. Dreadful.
Let the matter rest.
I need to collect my thoughts.
It's hard being judged when you aren't guilty, isn't it?
- That was torture! - How do you think he feels?
The bastards!
And you were about to throw me to the wolves!
I don't know what got into me.
Only, try to see my side of it.
I lost my cool. If they'd found you, I would've been cooked, too.
Try to understand.
After all, I did hide you.
I'm only a woman. And I'm all alone
Well, not anymore.
We're together now.
Let's just put it behind us.
After all, I got you into this mess.
I have to get you out of town now.
Sure, but how?
Chenco's boat!
I think he's leaving tonight.
He's going to Marques, near the Mambuti River.
Brazil's on the other side.
I'll get you aboard.
But you know Chenco
Yes, I know Chenco, and he'd jump at the chance to turn me in for the 5000 pesos!
I'm doomed, I tell you!
- But it's different for you. - I said I was coming with you!
Djin, you saved me, and I consider you to be my wife now.
I'll prove it.
Look, diamonds. Our entire fortune!
You carry it.
Take my daughter aboard with you.
I'll hide in the forest till dark, then sneak onto the boat.
It's my only chance.
But if I don't make it...
promise me you'll be a mother to her.
All right?
Castin.
We're casting off now.
When we're farther out, I'll get a price from Chenco.
- And Maria? - Don't worry, she's here.
Your bandage has slipped again. You're all bloody.
Don't move!
Go!
Not a peep.
Where's your boss? Don't move!
Answer me. Where's your boss?
Here I am! Drop the knife!
Take his gun.
He's dangerous, Chenco. Finish him off.
Get lost!
Go fetch some soldiers!
5,000 pesos right out the sky!
Sorry, Father Lizzardi.
Money is money. And I'm claiming the reward.
Well done! Start the engine. I'll take the helm.
Don't leave us yet!
We're about to go on a nice little trip together!
Stay there and don't move!
So we did meet again.
Full speed!
Get down, you fool!
Here's my share. Chenco has a share, too.
No news, Lieutenant.
They have 10-hour head start.
They'll get to Brazil if we don't catch them before Marques.
Our boat's three times faster than Chenco's.
We'll catch them by nightfall.
Let's go!
I'm watching you! If anything goes wrong, you're dead.
In the big bag!
There's guns, too.
Castin, take this!
Take some bullets.
- Throw the rest overboard. - Overboard?
We don't want Chenco to get his hands on it.
- Castin, where are you taking me? - Wherever you like, Father.
Leave me near the Santa Rosalia Mission, with the Venantes Indians.
They'd be better off without you.
At least nobody would force them to work.
I'm here to save their souls.
Thanks to the mission, many tribes hear the word of God.
From the mouth of their exploiters.
We're not responsible for the overseers.
No, but they follow you wherever you go. They must really like you guys!
I refuse to argue with you!
I insist on disembarking at once!
I'm in command here.
Get that into your head and we'll get on nicely.
I have only one master. I'm not afraid of you.
We'll see.
Castin, you're wrong to associate with...
a scoundrel.
What could I do?
I was innocent and they put a price on my head.
Do you hear something?
Sounds like a motor!
Any other boats around?
There's a military patrol boat.
Then we better land right now.
Grab what provisions you can. Hurry up!
That's enough! Let's go!
The boat's drifting away!
So?
My suitcase is on board!
You won't carry it very far in the jungle!
That boat will sink. You can't treat other people's property like that!
- That boat's my livelihood. - You won't be needing to make a living!
Walk in front! Walk!
- You can't kill that man! - Keep out of this!
Please don't kill me!
- Take my money. - And leave you here to betray us?
I know the jungle. I'll guide you. Otherwise, you'll never get out alive.
He's right. He knows the jungle inside out.
All right, walk in front with him. If he tries to escape, kill him.
Let's go!
Move it. Move it!
You know this region.
How far are we from the Mambuti?
It could be three days or 20. It depends on the jungle.
You do know the right direction?
That's easy. Due west.
West? Don't make me laugh.
How can we tell which way is west with all this twisting and turning?
Don't be silly! We follow the sun.
The sun? The sun's gotten to your head! That's all you needed!
We have to escape one way or another.
I don't! No one's after me!
I'm going back!
No! I'm not leaving anyone behind to lead them to us.
At least, no one alive. Understand?
We stick together to the end.
You see? Besides, I thought we made a deal yesterday.
When we're in France...
in my little restaurant by the sea
"My little restaurant by the sea."
You stupid old oaf!
I'll never get out of here.
It's your entire fault. You dragged me into this.
Leave me alone! You make me sick!
You're old and ugly!
Here's your nest egg.
I don't want it!
- This woman has no pity! - Butt out!
And you, stop following me!
The show is over!
And stay quiet. Now all of you get some sleep.
Tomorrow is going to be a hard clay.
It can't be true.
Get up!
If I sleep like this, I'll be useless tomorrow.
- If you're tired, you'll sleep. - It's in our interest for him to rest.
Mine is to keep him here.
Where could he go?
I'll answer for him.
Tie his hands in front.
Turn around!
Look!
Bastard!
Those bastards planned carefully.
They had supplies for a week.
- Let them starve! - I'll spoil their appetites.
Let's see the other sack.
How many did they have?
How do I know? We better hurry. They may have left the cave already.
Take this. Let's go!
Lieutenant, may I move round and cut them off?
No need.
The river will save them, but they have to go through us.
The jungle will eat them alive. They'll never get out.
Get him out of here!
Hey, Maria!
That's all we needed!
Don't wander from Papa!
Are you all right?
I twisted my ankle.
It's only a sprain. Keep walking or it'll swell.
- I can't. - Try.
What happened with Chenco?
I took care of it.
- What about the provisions? - Go back for them, if you can.
- What's wrong? - I sprained my ankle.
Helping thy neighbour. Very good, Father!
I pray God forgives you.
- Let's not waste time. - Let's go!
- It hurts! - Walk! You'll get over it.
Shut LIP!
Everyone's sticking it out except you.
You're not the only one suffering.
Well?
- Nothing. - You said you'd find food.
What do you expect me to do?
You can't see game in jungle this thick.
You have to fire blindly.
If only I had a hunting rifle
We can't continue walking without food.
- We have no choice. - I can't go on.
- We'll die if we stay here. - Maybe that would be better.
Trees everywhere, not a clearing in sight.
We'll never cross those high hills out there.
- We have to! - In the state we're in
What's wrong with you people? Do you want to die here?
You fool! The bugs will eat you alive.
I don't care!
You still think we'll make it?
Don't you know God has condemned us?
- Isn't that so, Father? - Leave God out of this.
We'll all go down, one by one, innocent and guilty alike.
Snap out of it! I'm not in the mood to drag a sick man around.
It's no use. There's no escape for us.
God is already refusing to feed us.
Chark, what do we do?
We'll try to find a way further south.
We have to keep moving as long as we have the strength.
Chark, look!
It's no good, too clamp.
It's good. You'll see.
- How's that fire? - It won't start.
Here.
If you do it like that
Pass me some twigs.
I must admit, it's not easy.
Everything's so clamp!
Anything drier?
Try this one.
It's rotten.
Everything's rotten here.
We're doomed. Doomed!
And so are the others. Sooner or later
Maria's clone nothing.
Go on, sit down.
There are animals all around us, hunting, eating each other.
And we never see them.
Naturally! Animals only come out at night. In the daytime, they hide.
Besides, we're not used to hunting for breakfast in the jungle.
My friends, do you hear me?
It may be that hunger is making me delirious...
but I'm obsessed...
with a story about soft-boiled eggs.
It happened when I was at the seminary.
I must tell you about it.
I was in my second year of theology.
I remember the refectory with its rows of tables like it was yesterday.
We were 10 to a table.
The seminarist who served us was a fat kid
a good soul, we had nothing to reproach him for...
except something that happened each time we had soft-boiled eggs.
Four or five always disappeared.
There was no explaining these disappearances.
Until one day someone saw him swallowing the eggs two by two...
on the way from the church to the refectory.
I mean, from the kitchen to the refectory.
It didn't stop him from becoming coadjutor back home.
My mother's name was Mary.
- Are you hurt? - Yes.
I'll help you get LID-
Don't be mad at me for the other night.
I was just upset.
I'm not mad at you.
We're all guilty. None of us are without blame.
Stop talking like that.
We'll have our restaurant, you'll see.
No, there'll be no restaurant. There'll be nothing.
- Come on, Castin. - Leave me alone!
Go without me.
Look.
This fire's pretty recent.
It hasn't even settled.
It's hardly damp.
There must be people nearby.
Are we saved?
Let's catch up to them. They can help us.
We don't know who they are. They could be hostile Indians...
or escaped convicts.
Why imagine the worst?
They may be explorers, people of goodwill.
Shall we see?
Let's look for other signs.
We started this fire.
We've been going in a circle since morning.
If we stay here, we're finished.
Let's get a move on.
Djin, do you hear me?
Come on, you have to try.
Lizzardi.
Try to convince her.
No, hope's all that kept her on her feet.
We have to do something.
I'm going forward.
I won't die here without a fight.
I'll go with you.
We can't leave them alone with that madman.
One of us must stay.
You're right.
If I survive, I'll be back.
- If we don't meet up again... - What?
- I thought you were just... - A rogue?
Our troubles are over, Djin.
Look!
No more bugs, no more forest. You'll see.
Get some strength back. There's still some walking to do.
Where have you been?
Where did you find all this?
You won't believe me. Eat first, and I'll show you.
We'd lost all hope.
God has saved us through a miracle.
Thanks to you, Chark.
That's strange, some 50 people had to die to save us.
Are you sure we're saved?
This looks like a lake.
It must be Lake Tocochapa. The Mambuti runs into it.
Now there's just one thing left to do:
Build a raft and float downstream...
and hope we meet a boat.
That's not all.
We must fulfil our duty to the dead.
Come on, Castin.
Why are you staring at me?
I'm ugly, right?
You don't look good.
Chark, I wanted to thank you for everything.
You know I like you.
I like you, too. Since the day we met.
You were funny, sleeping like a kid with your mouth open.
You proved it to me that first day.
Let's take a bath.
What's that?
Jewels?
Where did you find them?
Give them to me. I'll keep them safe.
So we can give them back, later.
They're not yours, Maria.
They belong to these unfortunate dead people.
The dead! And to their families.
You're being very bad, Maria!
You have no right to take what belongs to the dead!
Here.
You've always liked this, haven't you?
It's yours. Take it!
What's wrong, Maria?
What's the matter, Maria?
Father Lizzardi was mean to you?
Mean!
It's his watch, but I don't understand.
Don't be sad.
Look, we're saved. That's Brazil!
Is it your father?
He's ill.
But don't worry. We can fix that when we get there.
Anyway, I'm here to take his place.
Wouldn't you like to have a father like me?
I like you very much.
God has cursed us.
He's punishing the guilty.
Stop talking like that, Castin.
I forbid you to speak for God!
Until now, I've been very lenient. But no more!
God alone knows whom He will punish or spare.
Soon, God's justice will be known.
- Chark. - What is it?
You look beautiful! A real lady!
Look!
It's a fortune! Where'd you find it?
- In the lake. - Fifty-fifty!
I'm the one who found the plane!
Exactly! It's all yours, including the girl.
I misunderstood. You're nice when you want to be.
No, it's just that we're both alike.
- We could be right for each other. - Just like that? All of a sudden?
Allow me.
To be beautiful, some help is needed.
No, not all of a sudden.
I liked you right off...
but we started on the wrong foot.
You hated me.
I had my reasons.
Walking in the jungle, it came to me:
A woman...
is nothing without a man.
All dressed for your new life.
Beautiful, huh?
We may have trouble with the priest over these.
So, why don't you and I take off?
Sure...
but we can't leave the girl.
The girl?
Forget about her!
I want a man all to myself.
It's never happened to me.
Don't get mushy, okay?
You don't believe me.
You don't trust me.
Sure, I do.
I really do love you, Chark.
It took me a long time to realize, but it's true.
I'm so happy that I feel like crying.
I can't believe it.
Take cover, Lizzardi!
Don't just stand there! You'll get killed!
He'll kill us all!
Stay with the girl. I'll try to get behind him.
- What are you going to do? - I have to kill him! He's raving mad.
Wait! He listens to me.
I'll talk to him.
Castin!
Don't shoot. I want to talk to you.
You know me. Lizzardi.
You see? I trust you!
Castin! In God's name, I beg you!
Get off me!
Stay there! Don't move!
