Original subtitles

Have you gotten packed yet?

Yeah, the things are here.

But if the antibiotics don't arrive soon, I'm afraid we won't be able to

those poor souls much more than the aspirin.

Well, we'll just have to do the best we can before this epidemic gets out of

hand. Have all the girls had their shots?

Yeah, I can vouch for that.

Good. Get a good night's sleep now.

We'll be leaving very early in the morning.

Good night.

You can't come in here.

Do you want to get me in trouble?

It's not here you're leaving to go to jungle tomorrow.

When are you going to come back?

I don't know.

Well, what do you expect me to do while you're gone?

Well, how about me?

You have all these nice senoritas around you. What about me? What am I going to

do, huh? Oh, come on now. You know better than that. You're a good girl for

huh?

Come on.

Come on. Come on, darling.

Come on.

All right.

Just a little quick.

Somebody might have been alone.

Okay.

um

I can manage you with all this water while you can. I'm pretty sure we're

to be in the middle of a jungle. Oh, they must have water there. It's only

common sense.

Oh, there's water all right. Some snakes and spiders and carnivorous fish. Oh,

God. And bloodsuckers. They're the worst. Oh, they won't drop it. It sounds

horrible.

It was a mistake coming into an underdeveloped country.

You should have stayed where you were as a bar girl. Oh, really?

I'm surprised they passed you on your medical.

Oh, what?

so hard you won't be able to sit for a month. You just wait. Come on, girls.

heard her.

May

I

present Dr.

Albenus, the chief health inspector, and I present Senor Herculano, captain of

the police force here, and this, of course, is Dr.

Anderson, the medical consultant on the expedition.

Ah, my dear consul. How nice to see you.

I can't thank you enough for the help you and your government have given my

people. A pleasure to be able to help a friend in need. What counts is

international cooperation.

Is it true the epidemic spread beyond the Amaroka Peninsula?

We're beginning the first operation with two big trucks loaded with first aid

materials and medicine and five nurses who've had inoculation training and this

will fulfill the basic requirements and there's an ambulance for emergencies.

Right now we're waiting for a large shipment of antibiotics to get here.

Antibiotics. What's it for?

Well, the Americans have recently perfected quite a remarkable cure.

Unfortunately, it looks very much like heroin.

It wouldn't do to let it fall into the wrong hands. It would find easy sales to

dope peddlers.

But why is it shipped here in a broken -down boat, banned for all I know by a

gang of pirates?

You may be right. It was a bit chancy.

Buenos dias, Inspector.

Customsmen are always welcome.

Buenos dias, Capitano. You have medicine aboard, right?

Yes, it's all there and the papers are in order. Just sign me a release. Oh,

not to me. The chief medical officer will sign.

He's been waiting for you in town. He wants to inspect the merchandise there.

And I sail down the main street? No, no, a truck has already been placed at your

disposal. Send one of your crew and you will get an official stamp right away.

That's your driver. His name is Jose.

Right? Oliver, load the crates on that truck and take them into town.

And make sure they stamp the papers.

That's one problem out of the way. Now, you have 6 ,000 gallons of pure alcohol

on board your ship.

Yeah, yeah.

Here are the papers.

Oh, I know it.

I'm sorry, but, Captain, these are no good.

Unfortunately, the man who signed these was arrested for committing fraud last

week. So what the hell do I care?

All I want is to get my money for the shipment and get the hell out.

No, I'm sorry. It's too late. You've been judged already, and your entire

is confiscated.

What's that?

My cargo is confiscated? Yes, this alcohol was, in fact, imported

Captain. I have no choice but to destroy it, and I have these men here who will

remove all the barrels your crew could lend a hand, if you like.

Good God, what the hell are you trying to pull here? Don't you understand I'll

lose the whole business if I don't get that dough? My very sincere regrets, but

my duty is first.

It's your problem, Captain, not mine.

Stand by all hands.

As my policy is always to cooperate with the public authorities, we'll do as he

says. Yeah, but Captain, the guys in the crew haven't had a cent in weeks. So

that. Bring the cargo on deck.

On the double.

understand right, you want the cargo destroyed.

Precisely who gave the order?

Ah, me and the police commissioner.

A little private arrangement between certain officials under the protection

the state.

What's that?

Just what are you insinuating? Very nice little business. You'll be able to sell

it to the natives to drink. Captain, I won't allow such insinuations. I have

ordered your cargo... To be destroyed, that right?

Don't worry, I'll carry out your orders. Watch me, General.

The minute you put your hands on it, you are violating the law. I give the

orders on my ship.

Remember that, General.

I warn you, Captain, this will mean a prison sentence.

I'm not breaking the law. I'm just following your orders. It will give me a

great deal of pleasure to unload it.

My way.

Look alive.

Stand by to unload, Colonel.

What do you think you're doing?

Stop.

You have no right to do this. I'll have you thrown in prison.

Stop the matter. Go on.

Stop them!

to oblige the authority.

We will be there soon. I'm pretty hot.

We do everything slow in our country.

Get out of the middle of the street.

Oh, look at those stupid idiots.

I've got to stop those stupid idiots.

Speak to them. Explain in their language. Come on, let's go, Mac. These

are revolting. That's very good. You get it? The peasants are revolting. It's

something that happens every time.

Nothing can be done about it. Once I wait three days...

I got what you want right here in my pants. Right here.

Gracias, querido. Here it's all.

She may be Spanish, but she speaks my language.

You get it? She speaks my language.

They haven't found yet. It is time they picked up the crates. It's all right. I

told you I planned the whole operation.

Can't miss. I guarantee Albania has the stuff already.

We'll make a fortune out of this.

And the best is that the captain will be blamed.

We'll be in.

And what do I tell my chief?

That he can count on the job being done right. And my share. You make sure he

remembers it.

Hasta la vista.

Adios. One more thing.

Contact you -know -who.

Tell him to take care of the captain once and for all. Where is the guy now?

Amigo.

How are you? For a year, you do not come to see us. You're just the same. A

little fatter, but not any whiter.

Sit down.

Here. No shady deals. I'll bet you're a millionaire.

Oh, it's not so easy.

Oh, Harry.

make enough in smuggling alone to retire.

And you, you've probably got your own fleet of ships by now.

Amigo, give me some of that bad local vodka.

I really need a drink. The police down here, you know, they know all the

I'll tell you. Wait, firstly, yes, McCarthy? Don't put me back in shape.

Hey!

Hey, what about me, Daddy?

The Venus of Porto Negro.

You know, baby, you've got the best -looking ass from Alaska to Buenos

You've been faithful to me while I was gone.

I've been as faithful as you, caballero. You stay here a long time? I'll be here

one long night with you. How would you like that, princess?

I like fine, and for you, it's free, capitano.

Hey, music!

The stuff was always right on the truck. Ask Jose here.

It's evident.

Instead of receiving much -needed medicine, we receive empty crates.

Doesn't make sense. The entire shipment can vanish.

Yeah, I don't understand. Perhaps your Capitano might explain.

He evidently has gone into business for himself.

Unfortunately, he'll find plenty of buyers in the black market, I'm sure.

He will go to jail for ten years. We don't pull our punches here, senor.

What's this bullshit? Our captain is no criminal.

He'll get his chance to prove it. We're going to lock him up.

I'll take personal charge of that.

Captain. Yeah, what is it?

Sorry, honey. What's wrong? Come on, Captain. We better beat it and quick.

What's the matter?

The medicine. It's been lifted. We've been screwed.

They think it was us. This time I'm here straight on business.

Everybody stay where you are. I am looking for Captain Jolly. Where is he?

the Capitano. He left long ago.

Yeah? We'll see about that.

This place is surrounded.

No one can get away. Sergeant, take a look at everybody's papers.

Amigo, I always took care of you. I don't want any trouble.

I feel like Big Pit Rosie walking the streets.

Never felt so goddamn silly in my whole life. It's the only way.

You want to buy a rope?

I

could

use a little help.

What beautiful stars.

Elizabeth, look at Angelique.

She's going to bring along all her makeup, and you said I couldn't even

photo album. Oh, let her take her idiotic pictures, but it's not the same.

Makeup is really essential.

Even in the middle of Sioux Indians, a girl should have her makeup.

Those Indians aren't Siouxs. They're Orinoco Indians.

The Pupils tribe, I think.

I was here on another medical mission some time ago.

Hmm, that's right. I'm older than you.

She's a peach, isn't she?

Is that supposed to bring good luck? Yes, in a way.

Everybody needs a good luck charm.

Let's go, girl. Take those cases down. We're supposed to unpack.

We won't be leaving for two days more.

They must be nuts.

Just like the army. Hurry up and wait.

Hey, your pictures.

Be careful, will you?

Angelique. What? What do you say we take out the pictures of her man and put in

the pictures of gorillas?

Hey, watch out. We almost fell. Oh, it doesn't matter. I'm ready to fall at

feet. You know, for an engineer, you're pretty romantic.

That's all a bluff.

No, when I'm with you, I feel as if I'm a backwards school kid trying to create

an impression.

Why must you always be so obvious?

What'll the others think?

Some force or other keeps driving me on to do daring things.

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot.

You're supposed to examine two guys at the police station. The consul himself

called.

The consul called? That's strange.

That isn't ordinarily my duty.

Well, I suppose I'd better have a look. Okay, my pleasure.

I want to see the consul. Find out if we'll be issued guns.

Why? You want to shoot somebody?

No, but in the jungle we could run into some surprises.

In this country, surprise is the rule. That's the way I look at it.

Just how I'll look to get picked up after two hours of liberty.

Now how we get away?

I think we can get stuck. We can jump ship and they won't see us. Whatever

happens, we'd better get the captain back. We go ashore at midnight tonight.

Yeah, I feel a lot better, Captain.

Yeah, it's a good thing you are feeling better. I asked for a doctor, not a

nurse.

There's no mistake. I'm a doctor.

Sorry, Doctor.

I see you're a compatriot. Dr. Anderson from the Red Cross.

Our consul asked me to take a look.

Yeah, that's right. It's for Oliver here, his head.

He's one of the men on my crew. His name's Oliver Nicholson.

See what you can do for him, will you?

Looks pretty serious.

Mm -hmm. Will you please sit down?

Thanks, Miss Doctor.

Or Mrs., is it?

You know, it's a funny thing. I was minding my own business, and I walked

into an open door.

And it's amazing how much it resembles a police club.

Oh, you know what happened there.

It looks pretty bad.

Ow, it hurts.

I'm sorry. They found the spot where there wasn't already a bump. You gotta

admit, they're good marksmen.

I was just remembering how long it's been since I spoke to a woman from home.

I wonder, are you married?

No. But it's none of your business, is it?

You're right.

I shouldn't ask.

Only it's been so long.

I've been away so long.

And a man forgets there are such beautiful women at home.

You ought to go back more often and have a look around. That's just what I don't

want.

I've spent quite a few years trying to forget all about home. Only seeing you

like this makes me remember it again.

I imagine you have good reason why you can't go home.

I could go back.

If I wanted to.

Yeah, only we don't want to. The captain and me were men of the sea. Uh -huh.

I'm from the mountains myself.

Oh.

My wife was also from the mountains.

She was killed in an accident.

I'm sorry. I didn't know about that.

Ouch! Oliver, stop interrupting.

You get all the beautiful girl's attention and you're complaining.

Complaining with pleasure, Captain.

Yeah, it sounds like it.

If I may ask, Doctor, how does it happen that you're here in this godforsaken

hole? I was sent here as part of a medical unit. We're here to fight the

epidemic in the jungle.

That takes a lot of courage.

And I thought that pretty young women were only interested in jewels, furs.

Really? Well, if I may say so, you're out of touch with this generation.

That's pretty hard to take but it's true When

I see a charming girl like you I feel homesick

and Certain other feelings as well.

I Can't help you there captain. I didn't think so.

I'm sorry about that

Couldn't you give these guys sleeping pills? I have my duty. Sedating local

politicians isn't part of it. No, of course not. But perhaps you'd tell the

consul that I'm innocent.

I had nothing to do with all this.

Is it really true that you're innocent?

I'm innocent.

Of course I'm innocent. Don't you believe me? All right. I'll talk to him

Thanks.

Hey, hold on to your hat. Can you do it?

I hope the consul can intercede for those men. He made a promise to look

them. Are you sure that the captain wasn't lying?

The captain's an honest man. I know he is.

Well, that old sea wolf has sure made quite an impression on you, it would

appear. He's sweet.

And besides, we can't just ignore our compatriots, can we?

Can't we?

This doesn't look like getting back with the others.

What are they stopping us for?

Go ahead, get out.

We're on a medical mission.

Good medicine you've got, see? What is the meaning of this?

You could say you are all our prisoners.

This is ridiculous.

You can't do this. Except for Dr. Costello and me, they're all women here.

can see that. You know who we are.

I will protest to the president of this country.

Si, si. You protest muy bien. But for now, you're our prisoners.

And we know it's a big honor having prisoners like you. It is the way it is.

Everyone, stay in the trucks.

What are you guys, crazy?

What are you trying to prove with all this?

Look, he got down.

My God, he's a world famous scientist.

He fires at me, my shooting.

If he has gun and won't shoot us, then for me he's no scientist. You son of a

bitch. He's serious.

I need assistance.

If one of these goons tries to put a finger on us, we'll scratch his eyes

Careful, honey.

Listen, we've got to get out of this. Yeah.

What do you think you're doing?

Get away from me.

If you don't do what you're told, we'll kill him. Okay, everybody in the back of

the truck, fast.

Stay where you are or this one's dead. Get in the jeep.

Get in, quick.

You, hero, drive.

Drive.

Follow us.

You don't like the food? I'll kill you too, come on. I'll kick your ass.

I will report you to the chief.

Fully full of the chicken shit.

What those jackasses don't know is that your captain always has an ace up his

sleeve. Yeah, and me too.

You ready?

truck and everything, that part was easy for us. But now, where's the captain? I

don't know.

Hey, Oliver.

At your orders, Captain.

Listen.

Yeah. Yeah.

Captain!

Come here!

Quick!

Capitano.

Capitano, I wouldn't mind having one of your weeds.

No, not permitted.

Prisoners forbidden to smoke.

Oh, just one.

I'll pay you a dollar for one cigarette, okay?

You pay all that?

Yeah. It's the chance of a lifetime, Capitano.

Show me your dollar.

Sure, come and take a look.

Yeah.

You really got the dollar?

Huh? She opened up!

It wasn't dreams.

What's going on here? Pretty hot.

Everything's all right.

We did a little painting.

What was that? You should change jobs.

Yeah, I think I'll go to sea.

They don't want painting done

today. It was yesterday.

I can smell it. We're near the sea.

Come on.

Here we are.

I feel like a sardine.

Yeah, couldn't you find anything better?

Sorry, Captain, but that's our first class jailbreak, sir. You're terrific. I

really mean it. I want to thank all of you.

Another day in there and I'd have gone round the bend. It's absolutely true. By

tomorrow, the captain would have sworn off the booze.

Let's go, friends. All aboard. The quicker we're away, the better I'll like

They have guards all over. If they catch you going aboard, we've had it. We've

been ordered to leave within six hours, Skipper.

And the ship is surrounded with guards? Yes, and don't worry. They'll search

every inch till they find you, Skipper.

Shit.

Then I guess the ship is going to have to sail without a skipper.

No chance of that. Listen to what I'm saying.

You find the port of Poongala, and we'll try to meet you there.

We'll find our way through the jungle.

But, Skipper... No buts. I'm not going to let them confiscate my ship. Two

sailors on dry land. You'll have about as much chance as a turtle without a

shell. But it's the only way. Oh, you forgot this at Nico's. Here. Yeah.

Thanks.

Your captain's still got a trick or two up his sleeve.

We can count on good old Nico to put us afloat again.

Now.

Get out of my sight, you sea rats. Eric, take command.

Is that an order, Captain? Yes, it's an order. Am I in the habit of asking for

advice? You get that ship into Punggala in one piece or else I'm going to string

you up.

Stand to.

Beat it.

I don't want to see your ugly mugs.

Captain.

Take care of yourself.

If you see a black cat, don't let it cross in front of you, huh?

You better watch it, too. If you see any pink elephants on your course, steer

around them.

A

captain

whose ship sails without him is the most ridiculous son of a bitch in this whole

cockeyed world.

Yeah, as bad as me.

A sailor on foot is... There ought to be a saying like that.

Say, what does he want?

It might be important, or he wouldn't come all this way.

Well, yes, compañeros. Saludos.

The boss sent me to have a look at everything.

We've been good about it being his orders. Why does he send you to spy on

Don't get excited, amigo.

Tomorrow, we telling the government foreigners are in our hands and we

them for our men they are holding prisoners.

Where are the girls, eh?

Over there.

Can I see them?

Yeah, sure. Come on, I'll show you.

This place is driving me crazy.

It's all those bugs and lizards.

If it goes on much longer, I'll flip out.

I can't...

Let's

take a look.

Listen, I mean it. I can't go on doing nothing. I'm going to ask if we can

Dr. Castell.

Hey, you blondie. Hey, where are you going?

Live alone.

Thanks. Don't mention it. It was a pleasure.

I only want to ask to see Dr. Castell.

He was badly wounded.

He's breathing easier.

He's still unconscious.

It's serious, isn't it?

The bullet's out, but he should go to the hospital.

I'll give him a tetanus shot.

I had a little chat with one of those guys.

They're making an ultimatum today. The authorities release all of their men for

us or else.

Or else?

You know damn well what they threatened.

And I know that these men will do what they say.

I'm going to escape sometime tonight.

I've got it all worked out.

And when they find you're missing?

They'll take revenge on some of the girls.

Don't risk it. It's not worth it.

Go lie down. You look very tired.

I'm going to wash. I'll be right back.

I got permission to take her for a walk.

That's all right with me.

But remember, don't damage the merchandise.

We need them to get our compadres back.

Don't worry.

Why would anybody hurt Yang as lovely as this is?

So, uh, I'll treat you.

All right.

What would happen to us now?

Nothing. Nobody will harm you.

That's if they release our men, we'll release you.

Can you help us escape?

Impossible.

Even if I wanted to.

Then how about me? You can help me escape.

Look around. Nobody will ever know I'm missing.

I'm sure it gets pretty lonely around here.

to do that, Parco.

You heard me, son of a whore.

You don't touch prisoners.

Boss says no touch.

First I see you like a snake.

We got to keep our prisoners to exchange for all the dollars they hold.

Get out.

Go on.

You too.

Take care of him.

We're going to get back.

Back? You promised.

I didn't promise you anything.

You only assumed.

You bastard!

You son of a bitch! You idiot!

You son!

You bastard!

Behind my friends, it doesn't take a genius to guess this is the first place

you've come.

Yeah. And if the captain three years ago hadn't blasted all those Puerto Ricans

who were just about to carve you up. In fact, you owed a captain your ass. Do

you know that? So don't you try to wrangle a lot of help in him. Wait a

I didn't say I wouldn't help.

Only you got to understand these guys you are mixing in with are all part of a

syndicate. Understand?

A syndicate?

So some crooked dope ring is behind all this?

The gang is infiltrated throughout the country. They need money. Lots of it.

way they can get it.

Their power reaches everywhere, even to the highest level.

And you, are you in it too?

You know me better than that. But a man must watch his step.

It's my home here. I must be careful.

To hell with all this bullshit. How are you getting us out?

Let me see.

The next cheap living port is a private yacht.

I'm told its next destination is Punggala. Punggala? Man, that's exactly

we're headed for. It's what kind of tub?

A luxury yacht. Belongs to a millionaire widow. She likes to throw parties for

her friends on the boat. You know the type.

And they put in enough expensive booze to float the thing.

So?

I think you gave me an idea.

Come here.

You see that man?

Yeah. He's replacing the regular steward on the boat. The captain's never seen

him and he's coming tonight to meet him.

I see. You mean... That's right. It's exactly what I mean.

And what about him?

Don't worry.

I'll put him out at Chiquita's, away from the police, where he'll get good

and rest. It'll do him a world of good. At Chiquita's? Yes. Well, if you want my

opinion, we don't have very much choice.

Yeah, but aboard a yacht, I don't know how to serve or anything. That'll be

easy. You'll see, there's only one rule. No matter how rough, you mustn't spill

soup down there next to... Hey, my friend, now's the time.

He's getting up.

Let's go.

What's the matter? You got a piss right here? What do you care where I piss?

What is this, a pickup?

I'm sorry, old chap.

Santa Maria, querido, what have you done?

Nico told me you were here.

Little one, do me a favor. Get him in a taxi. I want you to take good care of

him. Don't let him come to for an hour.

When he does wake up, be nice to him. Because of me, he's losing a good job.

that away, Capitano. I never take your money. You pay me nothing at all. You're

marvelous, you know that.

Too bad they're after me. I'd like to stay here with you.

Get ready.

The captain is here. He wants to meet the steward.

Remember me, darling. I'll be back. Bye, querido. I pray for you.

That one. He's all alone. Yeah.

Oh, hello.

I'd like to sit here for a minute. Right ahead.

You're looking for a steward, is that right?

Yeah, we're supposed to meet you. Well, you see, he couldn't come. He's sick.

Son of a bitch.

What's he got, anyway? I just met the guy once in a bar yesterday.

He was already sick. He asked me if I'd replace him on a pleasure yacht. I said,

sure. Got any papers?

Yeah, the best there is. Let's see them.

I can't let you see them. Police took them. I changed my address.

They haven't given them back yet.

Station's already closed.

Damn it. We're supposed to sail in three and a half hours. I have sailed without

papers.

Can you do table service in all of Stuart's duties?

Naturally. I've served on luxury yachts even Mrs. Onassis has never seen. Okay,

I'll take a chance on you.

Yeah, but if you let me down, I'll throw you overboard to the sharks.

Aye, aye, sir.

All they want is just

one thing.

You really good?

It's all right, Hattie.

Everything's going to be all right.

Okay.

Oh, that hurts.

It's all right.

Oh, it's better.

You're really good with your hands.

That bastard.

How could he hurt such a beautiful body as yours?

He doesn't care any.

I'm going to kill all any help.

Don't worry.

I'm going to take care of you.

I care about you.

I want you to take care of me.

You're the only one who cares about me.

Yes, I care about you.

Oh, slippery as the ass on a porpoise.

How do you do, miss?

Well, hello.

I imagined we'd run into an iceberg and it was only you rushing into my cabin. I

had no idea what a pleasant surprise awaited me.

Oh, don't you mind me. I only work here. Really?

Then you can help me get dressed. Your wish is my command.

Well,

go ahead.

Zip up my dress.

This the first time you've dressed a woman?

All my experience has been undressing them.

That is most impertinent.

But I will forgive you.

Unconditionally.

Be careful, my lady. I usually eat up several little small fry like you for

breakfast. And you know, I'm still hungry.

I've never been so insulted. Get out!

Oh, such impertinence.

Still no word from the chief.

What if the government refuses to do business?

Oh, in that case, we must show them they're wrong.

I never killed a woman.

You'll learn how.

You feeling better?

Now it's worse.

I'll be better off dead.

Do whatever you want, but we'll have a hard time finding a coffee. Do you mind

changing the subject? What would you like? A few jokes? A lot of laughs?

Take your hands off me.

I need two volunteers to help with Dr. Castell.

I'm pretty worried about him.

There's a chance he may die by morning.

What?

Listen to what they say on the radio. They report bandits have taken some

hostage out of the jungle.

They could be killed. They're in danger. The nurses from the Red Cross.

Are they really in danger?

In any case, the gallant band of nurses now find themselves in a very serious

situation. If the gangsters carry out their threat, some of these women,

all of them, could be killed.

My God.

What can we possibly do? That's very easy. You request your hostess to dock

the nearest town in our vicinity.

Stop the cruise. What's the point in doing that?

I'll tell you, the point is you move heaven and hell trying to save those

here to protect. You will contact our minister, and if necessary, even our

of state, and prove that our country's diplomats can be professional, that they

really care what happens to our citizens who get into trouble with corrupt

politicians and gangsters.

and who are innocent of phony charges instead of parking your large, fat ass

upon plush yachts of millionaires. Why are you making insinuations? I know my

professional responsibilities. I won't allow it. All you know is shit.

Wait a second. Who are you? I am Captain Marcus Jolly.

I'm also a compatriot who might attest to your fine sense of duty. I see.

the one they put in jail. Let's say the authorities and I didn't agree.

My apologies, my lady, for falsely pretending I was an experienced steward.

It was my last hope of escaping those damned sewer rats. Then it's Captain we

should call you. No, my lady. While I'm on board, call me Steward Fritz. But I'm

getting off as soon as I can. There are some questions I'd like answered first.

There's a couple of questions I'd like answered. Like which of you deals in

contraband? I've been thinking about it quite a lot.

Who's behind this racket? Now I'm beginning to figure it out. That's the

straw. The man is really... Nobody. Who the devil does he think he is? However,

I shall instruct my captain to head towards first port.

I've been sitting here thinking.

About some young girls who are in danger?

Unless there's prompt action, they'll die.

Yes, I know.

You admit then that you're mixed up with that bunch of gangsters?

I admit nothing. I've no intention of being assassinated.

A man has to make up his own mind.

I'll give you some good advice.

Whatever you do, don't drag the police into this. Those men have spies placed

everywhere.

As soon as they realize that they can't win, they'll kill all of the nurses.

Doctor, tell me everything you know about this.

It'll take you two days down the Rio Coca. On the right, you'll find a bamboo

forest.

Next to it, there's a farm.

Get in there, hero.

They won't let me help Dr.

Castell.

You lousy... You bastard!

Let me out of here!

Do something for him.

The government is being difficult.

Now we must prove that we are not blamed.

We've decided to kill one of you.

As far as we're concerned, we don't care which one of you it is. But first,

we're going to have a little fiesta, huh?

Where am I going? Oh, we got the place.

No, I'm staying with the girls.

You want me to get rough?

Now, out, all of you, go on.

You would like a more formal invitation?

Yeah, I won't hurt you.

You go on now.

not good.

I have to start walking at sundown.

You really think we'll ever get out of this?

To give up after all this would be stupid.

Tell me, Captain, why did you do it?

You could have returned to your ship and just have sailed away.

Ah, my ship.

I think about her.

Oh, well.

Come on, Captain. Answer my question.

You asked a question? What?

What made you stick around?

It's obvious.

I couldn't desert girls from home. What do you expect?

There was only one girl you knew.

Who's that?

Me.

Haven't I said you remind me of somebody?

A woman long ago.

I hope that after you're back at home, that you'll meet

and fall in love with the right person.

I wish the two of you happiness.

It's not as simple as that.

I mean, you can't change a leopard's spots.

I don't want it. Not a home.

Besides, I'm only happy when I'm aboard ship.

My freedom's too important to me.

I'd be a fish out of water.

I have only my ship.

Why did Carl just take off like that?

I don't know. He was angry about something.

Now's when we need him.

Where did he go?

How do I know?

Stop.

Wait here for a minute till we're sure it's not the bandits.

But he looks like... It is! Yes, it's my friend, Nico!

Come on, we're going to be all right now.

Nico!

Hombre! My God, what are you doing here?

Nico, amigo!

I was beginning to think that we'd never make it. Whatever made you decide to

look for us here?

It was me. What? You thought I'd been forgotten.

I haven't died yet, Captain Jolly.

The chief takes care of us.

He put out a search party and found me.

What's that? You're his chief?

Yes, amigo.

You had to discover it one day.

I'm sorry about this, Captain. I told you not to get involved in this

If I let you and the girls get away, they'll have no other choice but kill

see?

But you were always my friend. You helped me an offer. It's true.

Unfortunately, when we planned to steal the shipment, I had no way of knowing

that you'd deliver the medicine.

I did the best I could to keep you out of it. We locked you up for your own

good, but our prisons leave much to be desired.

And now you give me no choice but one.

And Oliver, where is he?

He's in Punggala, waiting for you.

Only, you won't be there.

Well, well, my old friend. So we meet again, Capitano.

I see. It's a gathering of all the birds. In case you don't remember, we've

a score to settle. I recall that you threw me in the water.

Right now you're going to pay for that.

Over here.

Quick.

We've wasted too much time already.

He's right.

Time and tide, Captain. You know how it is. We are going.

But you'll stay here. We have had enough of your surprises.

You are always honest and helpful. You're not a bandit.

For all of us in this country, there is one law of violence.

Stay honest for what? For a rotten society good for nothing.

I'll fight to get my share.

You can't kill him in cold blood.

It won't be pretty to watch. The boys do a good job when they want to. Back that

way. Go on.

You can't do it. No.

Even savages wouldn't do that.

It won't take long.

I'm sorry, senorita.

I can do nothing.

It's him or us.

We've got to do it.

Now, everybody, in the jeep.

Hurry.

Go on. What are you waiting for? Get in.

Hold it.

Nobody move.

The girl's over here. It's a good thing that Carl decided to come back just now.

Otherwise, I would have been a dead dog.

He jumped all four of those guys. He did a terrific job.

Hey, come on. I can't take you all on at once.

Nico! Stop!

You lousy rat.

Come back here, you bastard.

I ought to blast your ass out of the water.

You'll be a good dinner for the piranha fish.

And he was my friend.
