00:01:33This is jungle.
00:01:35Lush, green, alive with incredible growth.
00:01:38As young as day, as old as time.
00:01:42I, Terrell, police commissioner of Itnan County,
00:01:46which borders the Amazonas River,
00:01:48know it as well as any man will ever know it.
00:01:51Isn't it beautiful?
00:01:53But I have also learned that beauty can be venomous, deadly.
00:01:58Something terrifying, something of prehistoric ages
00:02:02when monstrous superstitions ruled the minds of men.
00:02:06Something that has haunted the world for millions of years
00:02:09rose out of that verdant labyrinth.
00:02:12Let me tell you how the jungle itself took the law into its own hands.
00:02:18This was Van Gelder Manor,
00:02:21built to stand against the searing sun,
00:02:24built to shelter generations of Van Gelders.
00:02:27It also has become prey to the powers of the jungle,
00:02:30the terrifying strength that arose to punish a man for his crime.
00:02:35♪
00:03:00Hello, Barney.
00:03:01Good afternoon, Mrs. Van Gelder.
00:03:03It's been an unpleasant day.
00:03:05Your husband pays me to run his plantation,
00:03:07not to be killed by the heat.
00:03:09It's part of the job.
00:03:10Rubber's going up in price every day.
00:03:12I can't get enough workmen.
00:03:13When I do, they run away to go into business for themselves.
00:03:16Now, when they had slaves...
00:03:19Aren't we all slaves?
00:03:21Sure.
00:03:22Not me. I'm free.
00:03:25You call this freedom?
00:03:27With bars in front of the windows?
00:03:31No, thank you, Lorena.
00:03:36This is no place for a beautiful woman.
00:03:39A woman like you ought to travel,
00:03:41wear pretty clothes,
00:03:43have some fun.
00:03:45Life runs away too fast if you don't hold on to it with both hands.
00:03:49My life is here with my husband.
00:03:51After all, he did offer to share his name and his home with me.
00:03:54You're confusing gratitude with love, Mrs. Van Gelder.
00:03:58There are other things much more important.
00:04:01A woman wants to be loved.
00:04:08Hello, Klaus. Hello, Doctor.
00:04:09Nice to see you, Dina.
00:04:13I was looking for you, Barney.
00:04:15You should have been at the warehouse.
00:04:16The heat got me down, Mr. Van Gelder.
00:04:18There was an accident, Barney.
00:04:20A man got hurt.
00:04:22They always get hurt. That's the chance they take.
00:04:24This one died.
00:04:26He would have died if you'd been there.
00:04:27I can't be in two places at the same time.
00:04:29Don't fight before dinner.
00:04:36Pardon me, Dina.
00:04:40White people shouldn't live too long in the jungle.
00:04:43It brings out their bad side,
00:04:45their jealousies, impatience.
00:04:48Klaus isn't well. I told you.
00:04:50It's his low blood pressure. You can hardly hear his heartbeat.
00:04:53I haven't had a chance for quite a while to get that close to his heart.
00:04:56Dina, it's his complaint that you neglect him.
00:04:59You don't understand him.
00:05:01Does he try to understand me?
00:05:03He's only too happy being left alone.
00:05:05He likes to read his books without me around to bother him.
00:05:09If you were married, you'd act differently, wouldn't you, Viet?
00:05:12I was married once, long ago.
00:05:17You wouldn't know either, would you, Barney?
00:05:19Come again?
00:05:20I was just talking about marriage.
00:05:22What do you think about marriage?
00:05:24Marriage is a contract.
00:05:26A civil contract, isn't it?
00:05:28It has nothing to do with love.
00:05:30It's a relation either of sympathy or of conquest.
00:05:35But every couple isn't a pair.
00:05:37You must have read that someplace.
00:05:39Sure.
00:05:41Everybody knows I can't think of anything close.
00:05:44I, too, am not clever, Barney.
00:05:46But I know where to find wisdom.
00:06:10Thank you, I long.
00:06:19The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked.
00:06:23Who can know it?
00:06:25I, the Lord, search the heart.
00:06:27I try the reins,
00:06:29even to give every man according to his ways
00:06:31and according to the fruit of his doings.
00:06:42We had a case of smallpox down in the harbor, class.
00:06:45I think it'd be wise to inoculate all your workers.
00:06:50You know about the complaint of that worker and his daughter?
00:06:53That's my own business, Mr. Van Gilder.
00:06:56You're living in my house.
00:06:58I demand that you conduct yourself accordingly.
00:07:00You've not done so.
00:07:02You can pick up your pen and leave.
00:07:04That's all right with me.
00:07:05What's the matter? What are you mad at Barney for?
00:07:07I don't want him here any longer.
00:07:09Do you mind if I have my dinner first?
00:07:15Excuse me, will you?
00:07:20Stay here.
00:07:21What's gotten into him?
00:07:23I'll find out.
00:07:26Did you pick a fight with Cross today?
00:07:28No.
00:07:29But I'm old enough not to be pushed around by anyone.
00:07:32I don't like his spies.
00:07:34That old woman, Al Long.
00:07:36Ten to one, she gives him a report every day.
00:07:39I want to be treated right, that's all.
00:07:42Just because he has money doesn't mean he owns me.
00:07:45Don't go away.
00:07:47Don't leave.
00:07:54That's all I need to know.
00:08:17Barney?
00:08:19What do you want?
00:08:20Don't go away.
00:08:22Talk to Van Gelder.
00:08:24Ask him to change his mind.
00:08:26You take me with you, remember? You promised.
00:08:28I don't even know where I'm going.
00:08:30I don't care, I just want to be with you.
00:08:32You said you'd never leave me.
00:08:34Why did you say it?
00:08:35Because you wanted to hear it.
00:08:37You want to take Tina with you!
00:08:40Be quiet.
00:08:42Don't leave me alone.
00:08:48You shouldn't excite yourself.
00:08:50What do you want me to do?
00:08:52Smile? Keep my eyes shut?
00:08:55You do love her, don't you?
00:08:59Without her, I have nothing.
00:09:03You got rid of Barney Chavez, that was right.
00:09:06But still, I'd take her away from here.
00:09:08It's the climate.
00:09:09A woman buried in a place like this.
00:09:11You must understand if she gets a little mixed up.
00:09:14You too like her, don't you?
00:09:18Of course.
00:09:24She looks good to any man.
00:09:26That's a compliment to you.
00:09:30Listen to who's giving advice.
00:09:32My private life isn't perfect either.
00:09:34But then, I live alone.
00:09:37So nobody cares.
00:09:39And I don't care.
00:09:41That makes the whole difference.
00:09:43Barney Chavez.
00:09:45He's like a beast.
00:09:47An animal with animal instincts.
00:09:51I never thought, Tina,
00:09:53that it would come to this.
00:09:57You better go to bed.
00:09:59I should too.
00:10:01I don't like to see you taking so little care of yourself.
00:10:04But you'll be all right.
00:10:06Thank you, Viet.
00:10:07Good night.
00:10:08Good night.
00:10:09Good night.
00:10:10Good night.
00:10:18Marina.
00:10:21Marina.
00:10:22What happened?
00:10:25Talk to me, my child.
00:10:28Barney.
00:10:29He lied to me.
00:10:31He doesn't love me anymore.
00:10:33I warned you
00:10:35to stay with your people.
00:10:40But he will never hurt you again.
00:10:44Never.
00:11:01What are you doing here?
00:11:05Waiting.
00:11:06Waiting?
00:11:09I wanted to talk to you.
00:11:12I don't care to listen to anything you have to say.
00:11:14You chose your time to talk, Van Gelder,
00:11:16in the presence of your wife,
00:11:18your doctor and your servants.
00:11:21What I have to say, I wanted to say to you alone.
00:11:25All right.
00:11:27Go on.
00:11:28I've done a lot of good work for you.
00:11:32Anything else?
00:11:34You read from the Bible tonight, Van Gelder.
00:11:37But you didn't finish what you were reading.
00:11:40I thought I'd made myself clear.
00:11:42It goes on.
00:11:44Let them be confounded that persecute me.
00:11:47Bring upon them the day of evil
00:11:49and destroy them with double destruction.
00:11:53I'm glad you remember something out of the Bible.
00:11:56A man sometimes gets in a spot
00:11:58where he has to make a big decision, Van Gelder.
00:12:00My decision's been made.
00:12:02Mine too.
00:12:03You're standing in my way.
00:12:05And Dina's.
00:12:08Did she ask you to tell me that?
00:12:10We love each other. What are you going to do about it?
00:12:33Help!
00:12:34Bonnie!
00:12:36Help!
00:13:03You can't come in here.
00:13:05Are you insane?
00:13:08I want to talk to you.
00:13:10You've been hurt.
00:13:12I'm leaving in the morning.
00:13:14You're coming with me.
00:13:16Let's tell Klaus. I'm not afraid to talk to him.
00:13:20He can't hold you here.
00:13:22This isn't about you.
00:13:24It's about him.
00:13:26I'm not afraid of him.
00:13:28I'm afraid of you.
00:13:30He can't hold you here.
00:13:32This isn't a prison.
00:13:34Where will we go?
00:13:36Does it matter?
00:13:38I can get a job anyplace.
00:13:40Nobody will hire you around here.
00:13:42They all know Klaus.
00:13:43When they stick together, you know that.
00:13:45The world's a lot bigger than this jungle.
00:13:50Bonnie, I'm afraid.
00:13:53You'll be happy.
00:13:55I promise you.
00:13:57You'll be happy.
00:14:00You'll be happy.
00:14:02You'll be happy.
00:14:04You'll be happy.
00:14:29Earth shall be the murderer.
00:14:32These eyes have seen.
00:14:36Curse shall be Bonnie Chavez.
00:14:41He shall be like an enemy.
00:14:45That's haunt in the jungle.
00:14:49Jungle shall haunt him to his death.
00:15:02You insist, Mr. Chavez, that the last time you saw Mr. Van Gelder was in this room?
00:15:07You have it in writing.
00:15:08Yet footprints the size and shape of your own were found near the body.
00:15:12Are you sure that you weren't in the garden last night?
00:15:14Why don't you come right out with what you want to say, Commissioner?
00:15:18Why don't you ask me if I killed Klaus Van Gelder?
00:15:21You know I had a quarrel with him.
00:15:23You got witnesses for that, haven't you?
00:15:24I have, that's true.
00:15:27But the evidence I have is not strong enough to bring charges against you.
00:15:32What is your opinion, Dr. Viet?
00:15:35Klaus Van Gelder died from shock and suffocation caused by snake venom.
00:15:40He was a sick man.
00:15:42It may well have been that he had a fainting spell in the garden and the snake attacked him.
00:15:48Anyway, that's my official report.
00:15:51And your private opinion?
00:15:54My private opinion...
00:15:58is of no value.
00:16:01It might have been that during a struggle, Mr. Chavez knocked Mr. Van Gelder down and the snake bit him.
00:16:08These reptiles often attack when frightened.
00:16:11The doctor just told you Van Gelder died of suffocation caused by snake poison.
00:16:15That is official, isn't it?
00:16:17You have a discoloration on your jaw.
00:16:19A fight, perhaps?
00:16:21Yes.
00:16:22With one of my men.
00:16:23What about?
00:16:24Why don't you stick to the point?
00:16:26Why don't you arrest me?
00:16:28I would, but for one thing.
00:16:30These leaves.
00:16:32They come from a plant called the pey de guine.
00:16:35The plant of evil.
00:16:37Do you know about such a plant?
00:16:38No.
00:16:40These leaves worry me.
00:16:43They're used to put an evil spell on people.
00:16:46Now listen, Taro, don't accuse me of using magic.
00:16:49I don't.
00:16:52Alon, would you come here, please?
00:17:00I want you to answer me truthfully.
00:17:02What do you know about Mr. Van Gelder's death?
00:17:11He was bit by the snake.
00:17:14He was?
00:17:15How do you know?
00:17:17I saw it.
00:17:19You did?
00:17:22Then did you also see Mr. Chavez?
00:17:28No.
00:17:30He was in Mrs. Van Gelder's room all the time.
00:17:36Is this true, Mrs. Van Gelder?
00:17:41Yes.
00:17:44He came to say goodbye.
00:17:46Dino.
00:17:49Well.
00:17:51This would seem to prove that Mr. Chavez had nothing to do with Mr. Van Gelder's death.
00:17:56Alon.
00:17:59Where is the plant that these leaves came from?
00:18:03You know it's against the law to own such a plant.
00:18:06It's dangerous poison.
00:18:09You can't make her talk, Taro, unless she wants to. You know that.
00:18:13I know.
00:18:15I guess we'll have to search her room.
00:18:16Taro.
00:18:17Take Alon to her room and search it for a pay-to-guan plant.
00:18:25As you say, there's no use asking her questions.
00:18:30I sometimes feel as though I don't even speak my own people's language.
00:18:35Since I became an official, I...
00:18:38I seem to be standing outside their code of law.
00:18:43The inquest is closed.
00:18:51It's here.
00:18:53In the chest.
00:19:03Would you like to have such a plant for your own?
00:19:07It's against the law.
00:19:09It's against the law.
00:19:11The lords of sickness keeps away the evil spirit.
00:19:16Brings money into the house.
00:19:19I must destroy it, Alon.
00:19:21But his power also brings evil.
00:19:25If you hurt it, you are cursed.
00:19:28Your wife will fall sick.
00:19:31Your children die.
00:19:34I bring such a plant to your house tonight.
00:19:37No, I don't want it.
00:19:40I don't believe in black magic.
00:19:42Don't tell anybody I have such a plant.
00:19:47No, I won't.
00:19:49But you keep away from my house.
00:19:51I don't want witches near my children.
00:20:19Hello.
00:20:23Thanks.
00:20:26I'm glad Alon saw it happen.
00:20:28I didn't want you to get involved.
00:20:30That was lucky, wasn't it?
00:20:34Don't go away.
00:20:36I won't.
00:20:38You know that.
00:20:44Oh, Padawan.
00:20:47Cloud his mind.
00:20:49Change Banish Chavez into an animal.
00:20:53In his eyes he shall be an animal.
00:20:56He shall be an animal in the animal's eyes.
00:21:10Is this your first marriage, Mr. Chavez?
00:21:12My father used to say try everything once.
00:21:14Once I'm married, I'll stay married.
00:21:17I've been married for 26 years.
00:21:19I keep my marriage going.
00:21:21My wife does the rest.
00:21:22And believe me, we both have to work at it.
00:21:26Is it really true you're going to dance, sir?
00:21:28Still, that's not polite to ask questions.
00:21:31Why not, Mrs. Van Heusen?
00:21:32Yes, I've worked all over the world.
00:21:34Rio, London, Paris.
00:21:36I've never been to a nightclub.
00:21:38It must be exciting.
00:21:44For the master.
00:21:48May I drink?
00:21:52May I drink to you, neighbor?
00:21:56We're only 40 miles apart.
00:21:58That's practically door to door in this part of the world.
00:22:00Well, I see you're getting service in your house.
00:22:02Here's to good service.
00:22:17I'm very unlucky.
00:22:19Every time I meet an attractive man,
00:22:21he's either married or just going to be married.
00:22:23Better luck next time.
00:22:25Excuse me, Doctor.
00:22:32From now on, it'll just be you and me.
00:22:35Nothing else matters.
00:22:37Nothing.
00:22:38Promise?
00:22:39Oh, yes.
00:22:40I do.
00:22:42I've come a long way to find you.
00:22:48What's all that about?
00:22:50Mr. Schultz, the papers are prepared.
00:22:52All you have to do is sign them
00:22:54and pay for the government stamp.
00:22:56Every step in life starts with paying money.
00:23:01No, you sign first.
00:23:03I'm afraid you might change your mind.
00:23:05How shall I sign? My maiden name?
00:23:07Your legal name, Van Gelder.
00:23:23I'm sorry.
00:23:49Barney.
00:23:51Barney, let me in.
00:23:56What happened?
00:23:57Close the door.
00:24:03It's...
00:24:05It's my hand.
00:24:07What's the matter?
00:24:16Let me see.
00:24:19I don't see anything wrong with it.
00:24:23It's all right.
00:24:26Yes, it's all right.
00:24:30But it hurt.
00:24:32Suddenly, it hurt bad.
00:24:34Where did it hurt? In the fingers or...
00:24:37I'm all right, don't worry.
00:24:38I'm all right.
00:24:40Let's go back.
00:24:41No, I...
00:24:44Tell him I got sick.
00:24:46Tell him I got a fever.
00:24:47Tell him anything you want.
00:24:50You'd better lie down.
00:24:52I'll send Dina in.
00:24:53No, I don't want to see anyone.
00:24:56Are you sure you don't want to see her?
00:24:58No.
00:24:59Now, leave me alone, will you?
00:25:02All right.
00:25:17Don't you like me?
00:25:21Of course I like you.
00:25:24Pour me a glass.
00:25:28Sure.
00:25:30Something's bothering you.
00:25:32You're sorry you married me?
00:25:34No.
00:25:36Why should I be?
00:25:38I don't know.
00:25:40I don't know.
00:25:42Do you love me?
00:25:44No.
00:25:45Why should I be?
00:25:49I never thought I'd have such a beautiful life.
00:25:52You've changed so much.
00:25:53Oh, no, I haven't.
00:25:56I haven't changed.
00:25:59Listen, Dina.
00:26:00Listen.
00:26:01What is it?
00:26:08The jungle.
00:26:10I don't want to hear it.
00:26:13It sounds like music.
00:26:16Do you hear that?
00:26:18Do you hear that high sound?
00:26:22It's a bird with long red feathers.
00:26:25It flies without making a noise.
00:26:28But its voice gives it away.
00:26:29I know it. It's a vicuna bird.
00:26:31I even hear the snakes.
00:26:33I have to leave.
00:26:35Fanny, you've got a fever.
00:26:37No, no, I haven't.
00:26:39I have to leave.
00:26:40Well, you can't go in the jungle at this time of night.
00:26:44Do you hear them?
00:26:46Dina.
00:26:49Go to bed, Dina.
00:26:51I'll be back soon.
00:26:53If you love me, don't go.
00:26:57I'll be back.
00:26:59Barney, you can't leave me.
00:27:02Barney!
00:27:09Barney!
00:27:39Barney!
00:27:43Barney!
00:28:09Barney!
00:28:39Barney!
00:29:09Barney!
00:29:39Barney!
00:29:41Take him into the house, quickly.
00:29:45Now, these are my hands.
00:29:47It's not my arms, it's not my eyes.
00:29:50It's not my face.
00:29:54Hello, Dina.
00:29:56I thought you'd never get here.
00:29:58I was a hundred miles away.
00:30:00How long has it been like this?
00:30:02Ever since I found him in the car.
00:30:04I thought you'd never get here.
00:30:06How long has it been like this?
00:30:08Ever since I found him in the garden.
00:30:10When was that?
00:30:11Six hours ago.
00:30:13He must have a fever.
00:30:17My hands, they hurt, they hurt.
00:30:22Yes, he complained about his hands before.
00:30:24But the things he says don't make sense.
00:30:26The things he says in his fever? Of course not.
00:30:29The face.
00:30:31Face in the water.
00:30:33Face.
00:30:34Watch out!
00:30:50That's all we can do for him now.
00:30:52He'll sleep now.
00:30:53Give him quinine when he wakes up.
00:30:58Happy?
00:31:00Very.
00:31:02Barney loves me.
00:31:03That's the difference between my two marriages.
00:31:06And I love him.
00:31:08Klaas was my friend.
00:31:10What do you want me to say?
00:31:12I've already told you I'm unhappy that he had to die such a horrible death.
00:31:18At such a convenient time.
00:31:20Yes.
00:31:21At such a convenient time.
00:31:23Klaas died of shock and suffocation.
00:31:26Or would you like to change your diagnosis?
00:31:29I know the cause of Klaas's death.
00:31:31But not the motive.
00:31:34An accident.
00:31:36How long saw it happen?
00:31:38She may have been lying.
00:31:39It was an accident.
00:31:42It must have been since Barney was in your room at the time.
00:31:46And you wish that wasn't the truth?
00:31:49Yes.
00:31:51A woman always knows a man's feelings about her.
00:31:55It's no use for you.
00:31:57Barney's my husband, for better or for worse.
00:32:00Dina...
00:32:05Barney's going to be all right.
00:32:07I'll stop by in a few days.
00:32:09You'll know where to find me if you need me.
00:32:12Thank you, Viet.
00:32:14Good night.
00:32:15Good night.
00:32:20Hello, Tara.
00:32:22Hello, Doctor. Come in.
00:32:25Am I interrupting important affairs of state?
00:32:28No.
00:32:29Make yourself comfortable.
00:32:31That's all.
00:32:32Yes, sir.
00:32:35Have you heard of this big cat that's supposed to be around?
00:32:40Of course.
00:32:41Some say it's a puma.
00:32:43Others, a giant ape.
00:32:45And still others say it's the sucurat.
00:32:48A sucurat?
00:32:49That's a new kind of animal to me.
00:32:52That's a famous jungle demon...
00:32:55...driving animals to shreds with its claws and then feeds upon them.
00:32:59Has been known to attack humans, also.
00:33:02Well, it hasn't so far, I hope.
00:33:04No.
00:33:05But I'm sure it will.
00:33:07You're sure?
00:33:08Someone will use this rumor to kill somebody.
00:33:11Blame it on the sucurat.
00:33:13It's happened before.
00:33:15It has?
00:33:18I closed the Van Gelder case today, officially.
00:33:23Death due to suffocation caused by snake venom.
00:33:27That's your report, Doctor.
00:33:29It's not my opinion.
00:33:31But, of course, my opinion doesn't seem to carry much weight in this case.
00:33:34After all, you're only the police commissioner who'd be interested in your opinion.
00:33:40You know, Doctor, I was born in this little town.
00:33:44I know.
00:33:45I sometimes regret that I went to university...
00:33:49...and then returned to this jungle with its superstitions.
00:33:53It only served to confuse me.
00:33:55You never impressed me that way, Taro.
00:33:57How can I help being confused?
00:33:59My native mind is filled with these superstitions.
00:34:02My legal mind was developed through books...
00:34:05...written by people without emotion.
00:34:07Yes, but justice must detach itself from emotion.
00:34:11Oh, that I realize.
00:34:13But I know that Barney Chavez murdered Van Gelder.
00:34:16I know it emotionally.
00:34:19I should arrest that man and charge him with murder.
00:34:22Why don't you?
00:34:25The case I have is not tight enough to get a conviction.
00:34:29I know that Al Long lied to protect him.
00:34:32But I also know that he cannot escape punishment.
00:34:35Why?
00:34:37The Succaroth.
00:34:41The Succaroth?
00:34:43The jungle demon?
00:34:46Taro, you're joking. You don't mean it.
00:34:49Barney Chavez will be brought to justice.
00:34:54The jungle will see to that.
00:34:57The longer I live here, the less I understand you people.
00:35:01Drop in again, doctor.
00:35:05Hello?
00:35:06This is the commissioner.
00:35:08Oh, Mr. Van Huysen.
00:35:13On your plantation?
00:35:16It's killed already?
00:35:19Oh, this is serious.
00:35:21Yes, I'll be right over. Immediately.
00:35:24Goodbye.
00:35:26Señorita, mi pistola.
00:35:28What's all that about?
00:35:30Three rubber tappers have already seen the Succaroth.
00:35:33They have?
00:35:35I told you it would be like this.
00:35:37And here it is.
00:35:39It's killed already. Next time it might be a human.
00:35:41What does it look like, this mystical animal?
00:35:44It takes various forms.
00:35:47But seriously, doctor, why don't you come along?
00:35:49Talk to the people that have seen it.
00:35:51It'll enlarge your knowledge.
00:35:53And we might need a man of your profession about.
00:35:55I wouldn't miss having a look at it for the world.
00:36:02If these fools hadn't trampled all over the place like a herd of elephants,
00:36:05we would have found footprints.
00:36:07Necks been broken.
00:36:09Teeth marks.
00:36:10Hides been torn to shreds.
00:36:12You.
00:36:14Come over here.
00:36:18Did you see this animal?
00:36:20Yes, I have seen the animal.
00:36:22Was it the jaguar?
00:36:23No.
00:36:24No, doctor.
00:36:25It was huge and red.
00:36:27Red?
00:36:28Yes.
00:36:29It has a head like a man and teeth like an alligator.
00:36:32What did I tell you, doctor?
00:36:34The Succaroth.
00:36:35That it was.
00:36:36My wife saw it too.
00:36:37For a couple of nights it was sneaking around our hut.
00:36:41It walks in his hind legs.
00:36:43Like a man?
00:36:44No.
00:36:45Like a beast that walks like a man.
00:36:47Oh, that terrible voice.
00:36:49Not only I have heard it.
00:36:51My friends here have heard it too.
00:36:54Well, there's only one thing to do.
00:36:56Set traps and see if we can catch the beast.
00:36:59We have put many traps all along the clearing and in the jungle.
00:37:02Well, what did you use for bait?
00:37:04Young goats.
00:37:05Well, if you catch the Succaroth, just call me.
00:37:07I'll sell it to a circus and make a fortune.
00:38:05THE END
00:38:35THE END
00:39:05How long?
00:39:18Marina!
00:39:35Marina!
00:39:36Marina, it's me.
00:39:37Beard.
00:39:38Don't shoot.
00:39:39I'm so glad you came.
00:39:40I was scared.
00:39:41Of what?
00:39:42I don't know.
00:39:43Somebody was here.
00:39:44Tell me who.
00:39:45I don't know.
00:39:46I don't know.
00:39:47What did you shoot at?
00:39:48I don't know.
00:39:49Easy, Taro.
00:39:50Easy.
00:39:51Easy.
00:39:52Easy.
00:39:53Easy.
00:39:54Easy.
00:39:55Easy.
00:39:56Easy.
00:39:57Easy.
00:39:58Easy.
00:39:59Easy.
00:40:00Easy.
00:40:01Easy.
00:40:02Easy.
00:40:03Easy.
00:40:04Easy, Taro.
00:40:05Easy.
00:40:06I was on edge.
00:40:07Where's Mr. Chavez?
00:40:08Out in the jungle.
00:40:09I haven't seen him since last night.
00:40:10In the jungle?
00:40:11Yes.
00:40:12Well, it doesn't make sense.
00:40:13What's he doing in the jungle?
00:40:14Hunting.
00:40:15Hunting?
00:40:16He didn't take his gun along.
00:40:17He doesn't need to.
00:40:18We came to warn him that the rubber tappers have set traps in the jungle.
00:40:19What for?
00:40:20There's a strange animal about.
00:40:21It's killed many cattle already.
00:40:22What kind of a beast?
00:40:23It's an unknown animal.
00:40:24I don't know.
00:40:25I don't know.
00:40:26I don't know.
00:40:27I don't know.
00:40:28I don't know.
00:40:29I don't know.
00:40:30I don't know.
00:40:31I don't know.
00:40:32What kind of a beast?
00:40:33It's an unusual animal.
00:40:35It walks on its hind legs.
00:40:38Don't forget.
00:40:39Warn Mr. Chavez to be careful of traps when he goes in the jungle.
00:40:44Oh, come, come, Taro.
00:40:46Next thing you're going to say is that Barney's the jungle demon.
00:40:48The sukarath.
00:40:49The sukarath is only a symbol.
00:40:54What are you talking about?
00:40:56You better take Barney away from here.
00:40:58And what if he doesn't want to go?
00:41:00He'll go if I ask him, but I wish I knew what he was doing out there.
00:41:05Mrs. Chavez, the next time he goes into the jungle, why don't you accompany him and find out?
00:41:12But if you should, be sure and go well armed.
00:41:31Bonnie!
00:41:37Bonnie!
00:41:48Bonnie!
00:42:00Bonnie!
00:42:22Where are you?
00:42:24In here.
00:42:31Where are you?
00:42:32In here.
00:42:38I can't get out.
00:42:39You're late.
00:42:42I can't get out.
00:42:45Give me that gun.
00:42:47Just don't stand there. Give me the gun.
00:43:01Stay here. I'll get help.
00:43:03No.
00:43:04You're hurt. Let me cut off your boot.
00:43:06No.
00:43:08Here.
00:43:10Hold on to it.
00:43:18How long?
00:43:21Did you want to help me out at the inquest, or...
00:43:25Where's Lorena?
00:43:28I don't know.
00:43:31I haven't seen her.
00:43:34You must have got up.
00:43:37I'm all right.
00:43:40That old woman really knows her stuff, much better than your quack doctor.
00:43:43I think I'd better call my quack doctor just to make sure.
00:43:46No, I don't want you to talk to him.
00:43:48I don't want you to talk to anybody.
00:43:50I told you nobody should know.
00:43:51Why not?
00:43:52It's not your fault. Anybody could have stepped into that trap.
00:43:56Anyone but me would have known.
00:44:01What do you mean?
00:44:03I... I heard something.
00:44:07Something I never heard before.
00:44:09Something strange and beautiful.
00:44:12A voice calling me.
00:44:18I couldn't resist going out there.
00:44:20I couldn't resist getting closer and closer.
00:44:25The next thing I knew, I... I was in a trap.
00:44:28Let's go away.
00:44:29I wanted to right after class.
00:44:32Right after.
00:44:34But I didn't dare. The people...
00:44:35I don't care what the people say or think about us.
00:44:38The past can't hurt us once we're out of here.
00:44:41Let's leave right away. Tomorrow.
00:44:44Remember, I told you once a woman like you ought to travel.
00:44:49Let's go to Paris.
00:44:51Now, I've never been there.
00:44:53I'll buy you clothes in Paris and then we'll go to London.
00:44:55And I'll buy you clothes in London.
00:44:59Barney.
00:45:01I love you.
00:45:04Please don't let anything happen to us.
00:45:11Darling.
00:45:13What is it?
00:45:16It's... It's nothing, honey.
00:45:20Here. Come here.
00:45:27All my life I've had to fight.
00:45:30As long as I could remember.
00:45:33I knew I'd get hurt if I ever stopped fighting.
00:45:36But with you in my arms...
00:45:38As long as you hold me.
00:45:40As long as we're together.
00:45:41I know. I know.
00:45:43I love you, Dina.
00:45:46For the first time in my life, I'm not afraid of saying it.
00:45:50To you or to myself.
00:45:54I love you.
00:46:05I'll never forget. Never.
00:46:09I'll never give you the chance.
00:46:12I'll always be there reminding you.
00:46:15Always.
00:46:17Always.
00:46:28But me, Charisse...
00:46:31Is M. Kennedy in his eyes?
00:46:38Sorry to see you leave, Barney.
00:46:40I haven't left yet, Doctor.
00:46:42I'm still around.
00:46:44Where are you going to live?
00:46:46I hear Dina's mad about Rio.
00:46:48We haven't made up our minds.
00:46:50Don't question him, Doctor, or he might reconsider selling the plantation.
00:46:53I don't think so.
00:46:56The papers are already drawn.
00:46:58Taro will be here any moment to notarize them.
00:47:00You can rely on Taro.
00:47:02He's around when you need him.
00:47:03Or when he thinks he should be around.
00:47:05He has an intuitive sense.
00:47:06He's quite uncanny.
00:47:07There he is. Talk about him and he pops up and never fails.
00:47:11How can you stand the jungle this long, Doctor?
00:47:13I can't.
00:47:14But I signed a government contract for five years.
00:47:18It'll be over soon.
00:47:21Say, let me have a look at you.
00:47:23What's the matter?
00:47:24Your eyes.
00:47:25The pupils, they worry me.
00:47:27There's nothing wrong with me.
00:47:31How are you, Commissioner?
00:47:33Oh, as well as can be expected.
00:47:35I'll be glad when the rain's come, though.
00:47:38Well, I have the papers all drawn up.
00:47:40All they lack is your signature.
00:47:42I hope these are the final papers I must sign.
00:47:46We do not sign the final papers.
00:47:49That's right.
00:47:50I sign them.
00:47:52I am the coroner.
00:47:57Exactly.
00:48:01This is all, madame.
00:48:03Those things in the chair are for you, Lorena.
00:48:05Thank you, madame, but Alon doesn't like me to wear this kind of clothes.
00:48:09Then throw them away.
00:48:12Come in.
00:48:15Hello, doctor.
00:48:17Now I'm sure you're leaving.
00:48:19I didn't quite believe it before.
00:48:21You didn't?
00:48:22No.
00:48:23Words often don't mean much, but when you see it, why...
00:48:28Well, you'll be seeing us in Rio.
00:48:30Didn't you tell me you were leaving the government service?
00:48:32Yes, in a few months.
00:48:34This is for you, Lorena.
00:48:36I think you'll find use for it someday.
00:48:38Isn't that the dress you wore when you married Klaas?
00:48:41Yes.
00:48:42That's why I want to get rid of it.
00:48:44The past is dead, Viet.
00:48:45Stone dead.
00:48:46And I don't want to be reminded of it.
00:48:49I'd like to speak to you alone for a few minutes.
00:48:54What's the matter with you?
00:48:56I'm sorry, madame.
00:48:58That's all, Lorena.
00:49:05What's wrong? You look serious.
00:49:09I'm worried.
00:49:10About me?
00:49:11No.
00:49:13About Barney.
00:49:15He's not well.
00:49:16It's the fever.
00:49:17He'll be all right once we get out of here.
00:49:20Tell me, Dina...
00:49:22Does he take drugs?
00:49:26Quineine, that's all.
00:49:28I watched him today.
00:49:30His eyes...
00:49:31What's the matter with his eyes?
00:49:32Dilation of the pupil.
00:49:34Certain drugs cause optical atrophy,
00:49:37sympathetic irritation or weakness of the ocular nerve.
00:49:41I don't understand a word.
00:49:43He looks to me like a man who's been poisoned.
00:49:46Poisoned?
00:49:47I'm sure of it.
00:49:49I'd like to examine him, but...
00:49:51He'd never stand for that.
00:49:52I know.
00:49:53It's almost impossible to make a diagnosis without chemical analysis.
00:49:57But all the symptoms seem to point to the fact that...
00:50:00Wait here.
00:50:01Here I am with 100,000 in cash in my pocket,
00:50:03waiting for a man to pick it up.
00:50:05Have you seen Barney?
00:50:07Have we seen Barney?
00:50:08We thought he was with you.
00:50:10No, the last time I saw him, he was talking to you.
00:50:13How long?
00:50:15Where is Mr. Chavez?
00:50:17He went away.
00:50:18Went away?
00:50:19I saw him crossing the garden.
00:50:21I thought he was with you.
00:50:23I don't think so.
00:50:24I don't think so.
00:50:26I don't think so.
00:50:27I don't think so.
00:50:28I don't think so.
00:50:29He went away.
00:50:30I saw him crossing the garden for the jungle.
00:50:35Well, he should be back soon.
00:50:41Dina.
00:50:47He won't be back tonight.
00:50:50Tell Van Huysen that there's no use waiting.
00:50:52But what's he doing in the jungle at night time?
00:50:54It's suicide.
00:50:55It's suicide for me, too, waiting for him.
00:50:59That's silly. I can't concentrate.
00:51:04Ten o'clock. I think we should send the servants out to find him.
00:51:07Something must have happened to him.
00:51:09It's no use. He won't be back until late.
00:51:12Then you tell Barney if he wants to sell his plantation to see me at my house.
00:51:16Tell him this is no way to behave. Running away without an excuse.
00:51:20Mrs. Chavez can sign the papers. She's the legal owner.
00:51:24She could?
00:51:25My husband's the boss in this house.
00:51:27I wish my wife could hear that.
00:51:29You tell Barney to show up tomorrow or our deal is off.
00:51:57I'm glad they left.
00:52:11They left day before yesterday.
00:52:13I've changed my mind. I'm not going to sell the plantation. I like it here.
00:52:16Barney.
00:52:17No use arguing. My mind's made up.
00:52:19I won't stay here.
00:52:20If you want to leave, I won't hold you.
00:52:24Barney, you've been poisoned.
00:52:27Viet's sure of it.
00:52:28Poisoned?
00:52:30He's been lying to you.
00:52:31Oh, don't tell me different. I've had my eyes open.
00:52:33Why should he...
00:52:35He's in love with you.
00:52:37There's nothing between Viet and me and you know it.
00:52:39Doesn't matter. I don't care.
00:52:41I'm not happy here.
00:52:43I'm happy out there in the jungle.
00:52:45Barney, please.
00:52:49Why shouldn't I tell you?
00:52:53Why shouldn't I?
00:52:57Out there in the jungle.
00:53:00Out there everything's different.
00:53:04I seem changed.
00:53:06My hands, my eyes.
00:53:09I can see further than I've ever seen before.
00:53:12The smallest leaf on top of the highest tree.
00:53:16I can climb as if I had wings.
00:53:21I can smell a thousand smells.
00:53:24Flowers, plants, the animals.
00:53:29I'm strong, powerful.
00:53:31The jungle's my house.
00:53:33It belongs to me.
00:53:35Barney, listen to me, please.
00:53:37It's all in your mind.
00:53:39Barney, please listen.
00:53:41I love you.
00:53:43I can hear voices.
00:53:45Voices miles away.
00:53:47The animals talk to me and I understand them.
00:53:50I understand them.
00:53:52They're afraid of me.
00:53:54Afraid of me.
00:53:56Yes, I know.
00:53:59Barney, go to sleep.
00:54:01You're tired.
00:54:02Tired?
00:54:05Tired?
00:54:09Yes, I'm tired.
00:54:12I'm tired too.
00:54:14Very tired.
00:54:16Please, go to sleep.
00:54:20I will.
00:54:22Till the night.
00:54:25When it's night, I'll show you the jungle.
00:54:30Then you'll know I'm telling the truth.
00:54:42What do you want?
00:54:44We cannot go on working for you.
00:54:47Why not?
00:54:48It isn't safe.
00:54:49There's an animal around.
00:54:51We are afraid.
00:54:52We almost caught it in a trap, but it got away.
00:54:55Now none of my men will go to the jungle anymore, as long as it is alive.
00:55:00What does it look like?
00:55:02It... it...
00:55:05We don't know.
00:55:07We just came to get our pay.
00:55:10Are you going to move away from here?
00:55:13To Edward's... some else place?
00:55:16Sure.
00:55:18You can have your pay, I won't stop you.
00:55:21Yours?
00:55:22Two weeks' pay.
00:55:23That's all.
00:55:26Okay.
00:55:29Your... your hands.
00:55:31What's the matter with my hands?
00:55:33It looks like dry blood.
00:55:41Drink it down.
00:55:43What is it?
00:55:44Take it, it'll calm you.
00:55:52I'd be frightened if I went so unhappy.
00:55:55He thinks he's a jungle animal.
00:55:58What kind of animal?
00:56:00He says he can kill.
00:56:02He was rational up until a few days ago.
00:56:05You must face the truth, Dina.
00:56:07There's no sense in running away from it.
00:56:10I can't quite make it out.
00:56:12He'd act that way if he'd been poisoned.
00:56:15These natives have many ways of driving a man out of his mind.
00:56:18There are drugs that cause...
00:56:21hallucinations, schizophrenia, manic depression.
00:56:24But who would want to poison him?
00:56:26And why?
00:56:28You know why.
00:56:30I don't.
00:56:37Taro thinks that Barney murdered Klaas.
00:56:40Viet.
00:56:41He's convinced of it.
00:56:43And you?
00:56:45I'm certain.
00:56:47Barney killed Klaas, and it was no accident.
00:56:50It was premeditated murder.
00:56:52You don't want to see it because you're...
00:56:54you're in love with him.
00:56:58I am in love with him.
00:57:00He has to be put away. He's dangerous.
00:57:05It might be his conscience that's driving him out of his mind.
00:57:10He likes the jungle.
00:57:12Believing that he's an animal, he thinks he has the right to kill.
00:57:16Sooner or later, he'll turn against you.
00:57:20I'm not afraid.
00:57:23Don't you understand?
00:57:25As long as you are alive, you'll remind him of his crime.
00:57:28I told you.
00:57:30I'm not afraid.
00:57:32It's my duty as a doctor to have him placed behind bars.
00:57:35Your duty or your desire?
00:57:37You want to get rid of Barney.
00:57:41You're in love with me, aren't you, Viet?
00:57:46Yes.
00:57:49Since the first day Klaas brought you to his house.
00:57:55I'm sorry.
00:57:58Don't you understand that I can't live without Barney?
00:58:02We belong together.
00:58:06He's my husband.
00:58:09For better or for worse.
00:58:29The servants have run away.
00:58:31They have?
00:58:32All the workers have quit.
00:58:34Everyone's gone.
00:58:35Why don't you leave?
00:58:37I can't.
00:58:38Sure you can.
00:58:39You're free.
00:58:41That's what Viet told me.
00:58:43That I can go wherever I want.
00:58:45That I'm free.
00:58:46He's right.
00:58:49I'm free.
00:58:52I'm free.
00:58:55That I'm free.
00:58:56He's right.
00:59:01I told him that I belong to you.
00:59:06And only death can part us.
00:59:09Death can't touch me.
00:59:11I just started to live.
00:59:13You don't know the jungle.
00:59:14Now I do.
00:59:15And I hate it.
00:59:16I hate it more than any woman that would take you away from me.
00:59:19What else did your doctor tell you?
00:59:25He said you killed Klaus.
00:59:27Did he?
00:59:28Taro thinks so too.
00:59:30I don't care.
00:59:31They won't find me.
00:59:32I will.
00:59:33I'm going with you.
00:59:35You wouldn't like it out there.
00:59:37You haven't got the eyes to see or the ears to hear.
00:59:41It wouldn't protect you.
00:59:43You hate it.
00:59:44That's why it hates you.
00:59:47Don't go.
00:59:48Let's stay here.
00:59:50Don't go tonight.
00:59:51We'll go tomorrow together.
00:59:54Remember the night you said you loved me?
00:59:56You said you'd always love me.
00:59:57Always.
00:59:58You said you'd always remind me that you loved me.
01:00:12Barney!
01:00:15How do you like my jungle?
01:00:17Let's go back, Barney, please.
01:00:20I'll never go back.
01:00:22Never.
01:00:24Stop.
01:00:33Go on.
01:00:35Why don't you shoot?
01:00:37You can't miss.
01:00:39But you won't make me go back.
01:00:43You and I don't belong together anymore.
01:00:51Goodbye, Dina.
01:00:55Barney!
01:01:02Dina, where are you?
01:01:05Dina!
01:01:08How long?
01:01:10Lorena!
01:01:13There's not a soul around.
01:01:15Servants must have gone, too.
01:01:18I expected that as soon as I found this.
01:01:21What is it?
01:01:23It's the Peregrine plant.
01:01:25Al Long had it all the time.
01:01:27It's the poison she used on Barney Chavez.
01:01:30She wanted to take the law in her own hands.
01:01:33Dina must have followed Barney into the jungle.
01:01:35Right.
01:01:36Well, how can we find them at nighttime?
01:01:39I know my jungle, Doctor.
01:01:41Out there, my senses are those of an animal.
01:01:45Come.
01:02:09Come on.
01:02:39Who's there?
01:03:06Over there.
01:03:27Get in there.
01:03:48Get in there.
01:04:00Get in there.
01:04:09Get in there.
01:04:29Get in there.
01:04:50Like something that has been haunting the world for millions of years,
01:04:55a fool has risen to punish Barney Chavez for his crime.
