River of Death

Heil!

Daughter.

What are you doing here?

But, Daddy...

I told you never to come in here.

Now go back to the quarters.

Put it over here.

What do you want, Captain Schuster?

These experiments must stop.

This time you have gone too far.

Isn't it enough what we have already done to these people?

Better them than you.

This is no joke.

I've already checked and these experiments are unauthorized.

Unless you... - You been checking on me?

Unless you end them now, I shall send in my report.

How can I persuade you not to?

You cannot.

Then I must.

Heil Hitler.

Heil!

Dr. Manteuffel.

Heinrich, what are you doing here?

Change of plans.

The Russians have broken through our lines.

What? You said...

I know what I said, but I was wrong.

The Third Reich has less than a week to live.

You must leave in three days.

What about my experiments? I can't leave now.

Somehow, I don't think the Russians will understand.

Captain Schuster.

Come, pack up your test tubes.

You'll have time.

You will have time and money.

Money to carry on with your mad experiments.

I don't do that. Don't call me mad.

I don't mean it, Wolfie. You know that.

You shall have your new order.

And this time, it will succeed.

How much have you collected for Field Marshal Goering?

Enough. More than enough.

He doesn't need it. We do.

Listen, Wolfie,

only last week, a Tintoretto,

a gigantic Rubens and a Gauguin.

The Fuehrer hates him.

Decadent, I know.

I shall make money with our money.

Money, money, money, and girls.

Girls, Wolfie.

I shall have the girls

and you shall conquer the world.

How much time do we have?

They want me to rejoin our beloved Fuehrer in Berlin

in his final days.

It's an engagement I shall have to miss.

Then we shall leave together from Wilhelmshaven.

Excellent.

It's the Armagnac '87.

Our last toast in Germany.

This belonged to a man I worshipped.

My father.

Take it. Wear it as a token of my feeling for you.

I shall wear only this...

forever.

To the success of your experiments

and to my new career as a businessman in South America.

Our destiny.

Heil, Heinrich.

Heil, Wolfie.

To Gauguin.

Like nectar.

The other planes have taken off, Herr Doctor.

I suggest we leave immediately.

You're putting me and those other men in mortal danger.

I do not welcome mortal danger any more than you do,

but I'm under the personal seal of Field Marshal Goering.

I, for one, do not intend to disobey his orders.

Court-martial me for saying this,

but damn Goering and his seal!

We leave now.

He's already damned. We wait.

In heaven's name, let us go! - No!

We complete the loading.

All right! Hurry up! You want to die here?

It is you who wants us to die here.

Wolfie, I have the Gauguin.

I have the...

The devil rides on your back.

But I'll find you.

I'll find you!

I shall be the devil on your back.

Well, it's not much further.

Taken all kinds of people into this jungle.

Most of them thrill seekers, dreamers.

But this doctor, what's he out here for?

Whatever it is, it ain't good.

He's got it, just like the others.

It's eating away at his body.

Why only Indians?

Ask him where there are other villagers with the disease.

He says he knows of a village where men can never leave.

Some days from here, a place all fear.

Tell him we want to go there.

I'm here to stop the disease, but I must find the source.

He says he'll show us how to get there.

They don't want to go to the village with us.

Say it's full of demons.

Well, they work for you, don't they?

You did pay them, didn't you?

Well, then, I'm going to sleep.

We have a big day tomorrow.

Come along, Anna. You need your rest.

Of course, when you're out here all the time,

you miss a few things.

Then again,

good things come to those who wait.

Anna!

Good night, Anna.

Good night, Doc.

Good night, love.

Hey, Doc. Wake up!

We got a little problem.

He says we're crazy. There's only death up that river.

Yes, and disease. But that's why we must go.

What are you saying to him?

You don't want to know.

I don't like the feeling of this.

Maybe I should have told the doc I'd never been up this way before.

Five-hundred miles away from civilization.

I can't think about that right now.

Papa!

Papa!

How does that feel, Dad? Better?

I'm all right.

What about you?

They didn't hurt you, did they?

I'm okay.

The disease.

It could be spreading from here.

Possibility.

I must get some more blood samples.

Okay. Come on, now. Take it easy!

John?

You all right? - I've been better.

Here. Tie the door shut.

Move.

God, man. You'll burn us to death.

Just do what I say. Okay. Stand over there.

Come on.

Hurry.

Hurry!

Watch your head.

Keep going.

Dad!

Just, please, get up!

Help!

Come on!

No! He's dead!

No! No!

He's dead!

Anna! - John!

Guard the samples.

Halt!

Let him go.

The jungle will take care of him.

You left her there.

Well, what was I supposed to do?

Fight a whole tribe barehanded?

A whole tribe and some guy with a gun.

You got to get back there, man.

You've got to get that girl out of there.

No.

The samples. Doc's blood.

Now I'm seeing things.

Welcome back, Hamilton.

Where's the brass band for the returning hero?

I guess they never noticed I was gone.

Or didn't care.

Thanks, buddy.

And you think the killer was a white man?

That's quite a story, Hamilton.

And you've told a lot of them.

But, let me tell you something that you know.

There is no la ciudad perdida.

That's why it's called the Lost City,

because it's lost.

It's a myth, Hamilton. Forget it.

I have maps that locate it.

Can I keep these?

So, you'll help me get back there?

I didn't say that, but I'd like to study these.

You help me, you see the map.

Otherwise, I'll go back for her myself.

Even if these maps are true, which I doubt,

you and I both know

it's impossible for one man to get there and back.

I'm gonna get that girl out of there.

If she's still alive.
