White Cannibal Queen (Mondo cannibale)

THE CANNIBAL GODDESS

Mommy, I'm kinda scared.

What are you frightened of, darling?

I don't know,

but I don't like going to sleep alone, Mommy.

But we're both here.

Now then, my little princess.

You go straight off to sleep like a good little girl.

Tomorrow's gonna be a very busy day, you know?

Can I come with you, Daddy?

If you want to, sweetheart.

Of course, darling.

- Daddy, will you play the music box for me?

- Of course. - Mm-hm.

And give me a big goodnight kiss?

Good night, baby.

Sweet dreams.

Good night, darling,

and sleep well.

Ay!

How long will it be before we reach our destination?

- Well, I think we better spend the night here.

- But that way we'll be losing precious time.

- Well, I heard some strange cries a while back,

coming from the banks.

Probably only birds.

Still, uh...

Still What?

It happened once before like that.

It was some times ago.

I heard the same strange cries.

Then the next day, we found a scientific expedition

that had been attacked and eaten by a tribe of cannibals.

Cannibals?

Perhaps they were wild beasts.

Oh, no.

What's the matter with you?

Well,

I think it was a big mistake bringing you two with me.

But Why?

- Elizabeth, this country is completely wild, unknown.

It could all be extremely dangerous.

- Dangerous or not, we want to be with you.

It doesn't matter where or what the conditions are like.

After all, we've always been together.

I don't really understand why, ugh.

Feeling cold?

No, not really, thanks.

- I'll go down below and bring up some hot coffee.

Leave me alone!

Mommy?

Daddy?

White Goddess!

White Goddess!

White Goddess!

- Hey, hold it, there's someone down there.

He's still alive.

Let's take him away.

Careful.

Hello?

Good morning, Miss Shilton.

My name's Dr. Burns of the St. Jack's hospital.

Do you know Professor Taylor?

Jeremy Taylor?

That's the one.

It seems a wild animal attacked him in Malabi,

neatly severing his left forearm.

Taylor's still in shock.

It must have been a dreadful business.

In his delirium, he kept repeating

that a boat was attacked by cannibals who ate his wife.

The Shilton Foundation organized the expedition.

Would you like me to write a full report?

No.

No, that won't be necessary.

It was

horrible.

They were...

Elizabeth.

Monstrous.

They were

eating,

e-e-eating her

alive.

Go-go away,

out you foul creatures.

Go away from me.

Let her be.

My God.

They're tearing her to pieces.

No, I can't bear it.

Elizabeth.

Elizabeth!

Vile beasts.

I was down below,

and suddenly, I heard Elizabeth screaming loudly.

Immediately I went on deck,

and I saw her.

They were eating her alive.

Aghh!!

My God, no!

Come quickly, Miss Ana.

Professor Taylor's having another attack.

Don't you feel well, Jerry?

What is it, Jerry?

Now, calm down.

Yes, I know.

It's the same horrible nightmare that obsesses you.

Just what did happen?

Try to remember, Jerry,

try to remember.

Tell me.

You see, we were,

we were on the boat.

And?

Then what happened?

Then, they were there.

Who were they?

Do try and remember,

make a effort.

Tell the whole story slowly, from the beginning.

Jerry, do try.

You know you can.

Tell me.

Please.

Tell me.

Come, come on.

Is Professor Taylor here?

Yes, through there, ma'am.

Thank you.

Please don't cry, Jerry, you'll make yourself ill.

You'll only resolve this drama

by being calm and taking things slowly, one by one.

Are you Professor Taylor?

My name's Barbara Shilton.

I'm the president of the Shilton Foundation.

We organized your expedition to Malabi.

But I can see you're much better. - As one can see.

That way he can tell us all about his exciting

story of survival amongst the savages.

Oh! What exciting lives you scientists lead, to be sure.

I couldn't do it, and that's a fact.

Jeremy!

Aw.

Jeremy, don't take any notice of them.

They've no idea what you've been through.

Jeremy?

Are you ready?

The doctor's allowed me to take you for a little walk,

if you'd like.

Mm-hmm.

The streets have been illuminated

and decorated for Christmas. - Oh, yeah?

So let's take a look.

Lena!

Jerry, what's the matter?

Lena, stop!

Don't run away!

Lena!

Now, I remember everything.

My name's Jeremy Taylor.

I'm a specialist in tropical diseases.

I'm married, with a daughter, Lena.

And I was born in Columbus, Ohio, in 1940.

I was sent by the Shilton Foundation to Malabi,

where my daughter disappeared.

Elizabeth.

But of course, darling.

You know how I enjoy doing these things.

I'm sorry to disturb you,

... but I must talk to you.

Oh, it's our professor.

Come on in and sit down.

- What I have to say to you is very important.

Well, we're listening.

But of course,

tell us all about it, Professor, we're all ears.

Ah, Charles is, uh, one of the family, in fact my lover.

An absolutely adorable man.

I wanted to talk privately with you.

You can speak quite privately here.

I see.

I need your help.

You can always count on me, you know.

On my help, that is, you understand.

That's really very kind of you.

I remember what happened.

It was up river, about twenty miles from our destination.

We spent the night aboard.

The captain was uneasy about traveling at night.

My Wife, Elizabeth,

and my daughter insisted on coming on the trip with me.

I didn't want them to come,

but they forced the issue, so I made the best...

I made the best of the situation.

But that night, without any warning,

the Gaevis made a sudden attack.

They're one of the savage tribes in that area.

My wife fell victim to their

cannibalism.
