WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.259 Currently 48 degrees downtown, George Goode K 00:00:03.259 --> 00:00:22.920 -O -I -M -U. Come in. Welcome. I'm E .G. Marshall. 00:00:24.219 --> 00:00:28.760 Welcome to the sounds of suspense. Welcome to 00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:31.859 the world of your own terrifying imagination. 00:00:33.659 --> 00:00:36.500 So many catastrophic things happen in this world 00:00:36.500 --> 00:00:40.380 because a lady asks a gentleman a question and 00:00:40.380 --> 00:00:44.020 then refuses to accept his answer. For instance, 00:00:44.820 --> 00:00:48.640 the Lady Eve. What great harm could it do if 00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:52.219 I took just the tiniest bite of that apple? Or 00:00:52.219 --> 00:00:56.380 the lady named Pandora. Why would it be a calamity 00:00:56.380 --> 00:00:59.259 if I should sneak just a quick little peek into 00:00:59.259 --> 00:01:04.000 that box? Now add to the list a charming young 00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.760 lady named Millie She also has a question. Why 00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:10.019 can't I have the braces Kevin? It belongs to 00:01:10.019 --> 00:01:12.799 the temple Oh nonsense. It's been lying here 00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:14.840 in the jungle for at least a thousand years. 00:01:14.859 --> 00:01:17.799 Who'd miss it? It's owner the Beast goddess. 00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:20.260 Oh, come on Kevin You know what she does with 00:01:20.260 --> 00:01:22.519 people who steal her property She turns them 00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:25.540 into animals. Really? That's the local legend, 00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:27.980 Millie. Now you just take that little bracelet 00:01:27.980 --> 00:01:30.719 off your arm and put it back exactly where you 00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:37.079 found it. Sure. Millie. I mean it. Sure, Kevin. 00:01:38.420 --> 00:01:49.959 Sure. Our mystery drama, The Sign of the Beast. 00:01:50.189 --> 00:01:52.909 was written especially for the Mystery Theater 00:01:52.909 --> 00:01:58.170 by Sam Dam and stars Lois Smith. I'll be back 00:01:58.170 --> 00:02:13.229 shortly with Act One. What is the difference 00:02:13.229 --> 00:02:17.629 between man and beast? There are those who ask, 00:02:17.949 --> 00:02:22.139 is there a difference? It wasn't very long ago 00:02:22.139 --> 00:02:26.979 that man himself was a beast, a carnivorous hunter 00:02:26.979 --> 00:02:32.759 with an insatiable appetite for raw meat. True, 00:02:33.020 --> 00:02:35.879 quite a bit has happened since. We've learned 00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:39.780 manners. We've invented civilization and culture. 00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:44.340 We've created a conscience, a code of morals, 00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:49.560 a system of ethics. But how deep do all these 00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:54.000 things go? Does the beast still slumber in each 00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:59.659 of us, waiting patiently, biding its time, ready 00:02:59.659 --> 00:03:04.000 at any moment to assert its mastery with fang 00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:08.800 and claw? This is going to be a very vital question 00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:11.879 for the very pretty and vivacious young lady 00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:15.060 who at this moment is riding in a helicopter. 00:03:15.649 --> 00:03:19.150 The copter is hovering over a large clearing 00:03:19.150 --> 00:03:26.449 deep in a South American jungle. Here you are, 00:03:26.610 --> 00:03:29.270 Millie. Thanks a million, Larry. This is your 00:03:29.270 --> 00:03:31.509 bet. Kevin and Professor Jorgensen won't thank 00:03:31.509 --> 00:03:34.069 me. Better lift up out of here before they make 00:03:34.069 --> 00:03:39.469 you take me back. You know, Millie, I don't think 00:03:39.469 --> 00:03:41.849 I'm doing you a favor. Did you toss my duffel 00:03:41.849 --> 00:03:44.449 bag over the side? Once more it could cost me 00:03:44.449 --> 00:04:12.810 my job. And furthermore... And furthermore, you 00:04:12.810 --> 00:04:15.110 haven't even kissed me. Look, I'm very angry 00:04:15.110 --> 00:04:17.769 about this, Millie. You could still kiss me, 00:04:17.949 --> 00:04:20.430 Kevin. You promised to stay at the base camp. 00:04:20.730 --> 00:04:23.009 That was last week. But we're moving into the 00:04:23.009 --> 00:04:26.329 jungle tomorrow. Kevin, we've already been through 00:04:26.329 --> 00:04:31.170 all the arguments. Category A, danger from animals. 00:04:31.589 --> 00:04:34.110 Well, I brought the 405 and some carterettes, 00:04:34.509 --> 00:04:36.509 and I'm a better shot than you are. Now listen, 00:04:36.769 --> 00:04:40.480 Millie. Category B. Danger from rare, unknown, 00:04:40.620 --> 00:04:44.100 mysterious, incurable topic diseases. You have 00:04:44.100 --> 00:04:46.680 just as much chance of getting one as I do. Dr. 00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:49.879 Jorgensen will be furious. Your Dr. Jorgensen 00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:52.660 is my Uncle Bert. I can handle him. It isn't 00:04:52.660 --> 00:04:56.100 a matter of handling people. It's true, you know. 00:04:56.259 --> 00:05:00.379 Millie can always handle me. Uncle Bert, I love 00:05:00.379 --> 00:05:04.939 you. I know, dear. And I love you, too. Hey, 00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:08.160 Uncle Bert gave me a kiss. He's glad to see me. 00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:10.540 Dr. Jorgensen will have to radio that idiot, 00:05:10.779 --> 00:05:13.199 Larry. I'm not going back, Kevin. Sir, won't 00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:16.019 you make her see reason? I warned you about this, 00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:18.560 Kevin. Last year when you said to me, how about 00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:20.939 an introduction to that good -looking niece of 00:05:20.939 --> 00:05:23.699 yours, I told you the problems, but you would 00:05:23.699 --> 00:05:26.399 have her. And I'm worth it. Millie, it's only 00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:29.480 because I love you so much. Uncle Bert, why don't 00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:31.639 we leave the killies here to sulk in this tent 00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:42.230 while you show me around the camp? And there's 00:05:42.230 --> 00:05:45.129 somebody you should know, that tall, powerful 00:05:45.129 --> 00:05:48.730 -looking fellow. His name is Amara. He's our 00:05:48.730 --> 00:05:53.829 straw boss. Amara, whenever you want something 00:05:53.829 --> 00:05:58.069 done, you... Yes, Dr. Jorgens. Amara, this is 00:05:58.069 --> 00:06:01.329 Kevin's wife. Her name is Millie. How do you 00:06:01.329 --> 00:06:05.449 do, Amara? It is an honor to meet you, Millie. 00:06:05.579 --> 00:06:08.319 Aymara's in charge of setting up, taking down, 00:06:08.579 --> 00:06:11.439 and moving the whole can. Oh, wow. I can see 00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:14.639 he does a splendid job. Oh, no, no. The fact 00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:18.160 is he does a very bad job. What? What did you 00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:21.600 say? I said he does a poor and unsatisfactory 00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:25.379 job. Oh, for good. No, it's the truth. But everything 00:06:25.379 --> 00:06:29.560 looks to be so unique, so orderly. Actually, 00:06:30.139 --> 00:06:33.819 Aymara is unbelievably incompetent. He deserves 00:06:33.819 --> 00:06:37.490 to be fired. I think that's unfair and heartless. 00:06:38.230 --> 00:06:41.649 Excuse me, Millie. Amara, please go to Kevin's 00:06:41.649 --> 00:06:45.350 tent and bring Millie's 405 rifle. Yes, Doctor. 00:06:45.889 --> 00:06:50.529 At once. Uncle Bert. Before you say another word. 00:06:50.550 --> 00:06:53.829 How could you be so heartless? You must understand, 00:06:53.949 --> 00:06:57.490 Amara, his primitive superstitions and his beliefs. 00:06:57.529 --> 00:07:00.029 But he's not some ignorant savage. You can tell 00:07:00.029 --> 00:07:03.199 by his speech. He's obviously educated. Must 00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:06.819 you insult him? Milly, you simply cannot compliment 00:07:06.819 --> 00:07:10.399 these natives. These natives? Oh my, aren't we 00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:13.459 condescending. And why must we not compliment 00:07:13.459 --> 00:07:15.600 them? Will it spoil them as servants? Will it 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:20.120 drive up the pay scale? Oh, Milly, I... Where 00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:24.839 to begin? In Amar's religion, he is surrounded 00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:28.860 by a host of jealous, angry, implacable gods 00:07:28.860 --> 00:07:33.029 and goddesses. They do not tolerate praise. for 00:07:33.029 --> 00:07:36.589 human beings. That's nonsense. One man's nonsense 00:07:36.589 --> 00:07:40.930 is another man's devoutly held relief. You terrify 00:07:40.930 --> 00:07:44.189 Amara when you praise him. Therefore, on this 00:07:44.189 --> 00:07:48.470 expedition, never, never praise one of our natives. 00:07:48.870 --> 00:07:51.670 But Uncle Bert... Is that understood? Millie, 00:07:51.670 --> 00:07:55.670 we're not home now where there's a charm in being 00:07:55.670 --> 00:08:01.120 a little quirky, kooky, offbeat. Just obey orders. 00:08:01.220 --> 00:08:04.680 Don't under any circumstances praise anybody. 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:09.019 Understand? Yes, Uncle Bert, I understand. Things 00:08:09.019 --> 00:08:11.500 are bad enough. In the first place, you're a 00:08:11.500 --> 00:08:14.860 woman. Well, I like that. You need some prestige. 00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.279 That's why I sent him for the rifle. Hit some 00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:21.519 tin cans, break a few bottles at 300 yards, and 00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:24.860 you'll be one of the boys. Uncle Bert, you actually 00:08:24.860 --> 00:08:27.279 are a male chauvinist. Who would have suspected 00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:30.519 it? I have to pack away my instruments, can I? 00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:34.740 Trust you not to get into any trouble. Implicitly. 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:43.639 Very bad shot, Millie. And now, I'll break that 00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:48.659 bottle next to it. Oh, that was terrible. Not 00:08:48.659 --> 00:08:51.879 bad, if I do say so myself. And that's every 00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:55.190 bit of 250 yards. Now, you see those three cans 00:08:55.190 --> 00:09:02.610 you lined up on that rock? Watch. You are a very 00:09:02.610 --> 00:09:04.990 poor shooter, Mary. That's nothing. You should 00:09:04.990 --> 00:09:09.870 see me when I'm in practice. Oh, my. I didn't 00:09:09.870 --> 00:09:12.909 know we had children in the camp. Who's that 00:09:12.909 --> 00:09:15.750 youngster by the kitchen tent? It is my little 00:09:15.750 --> 00:09:19.590 boy. He stays here with me till we leave the 00:09:19.590 --> 00:09:24.139 jungle. What's his name? His name. Zeissera. 00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:28.480 Zeissera. Oh, what a lovely name. No, no, it 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.480 is an unpleasant name. I should think you'd be 00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:35.259 proud. Proud? Me proud? Why do you say I'm proud? 00:09:35.340 --> 00:09:38.200 Oh, because he's such a handsome child. No, he 00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:40.659 is plain, he is ugly. He seems so intelligent. 00:09:41.019 --> 00:09:43.059 Notice how patiently he lines up those stones 00:09:43.059 --> 00:09:45.799 and shells. No, you're stupid, I swear to you. 00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:48.759 He has no sense. He disgraces his mother and 00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:51.480 me. What are you saying, Amara? This child is 00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:55.259 a fool. Anyone can see that. Now I must go. Where? 00:09:56.059 --> 00:10:03.019 I... I must go clean the rifle. I must go. Well... 00:10:03.019 --> 00:10:10.379 Oh, what made him so upset? Oh! Oh! Now I remember. 00:10:18.660 --> 00:10:22.620 Amira, you may serve the coffee. I know the cuisine 00:10:22.620 --> 00:10:25.320 has left something to be desired these past few 00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:28.279 days, Milly. None of this bothers me. I can live 00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:31.440 on tea and toast, fruit and vegetables. By tomorrow 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:34.960 sometime, we'll come to the ancient temple, the 00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:37.399 Forbidden Grounds. I have the cameras ready. 00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:41.080 I must caution you, Milly. We were permitted 00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:43.480 to come here only because I promised the chief. 00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:47.480 who is my blood brother. We do have a wild family, 00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:50.320 don't we Uncle Bert? That we will not defile 00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:54.139 the holy grounds. Now all around you'll see scattered 00:10:54.139 --> 00:10:56.960 ornaments, brick -a -brack, all sorts of things. 00:10:57.580 --> 00:11:01.120 Touch nothing. Uncle Bert, I hardly have to be 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:03.480 told. We can photograph anything, everything, 00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:08.360 but it all belongs to the Goddess. The Beast 00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:11.059 Goddess. It'd be dangerous to touch anything 00:11:11.059 --> 00:11:14.059 anyhow. You see, dear, the Beast Goddess is very 00:11:14.059 --> 00:11:16.539 possessive. I don't know why I have to be treated 00:11:16.539 --> 00:11:19.100 like a child and indoctrinated with lessons in 00:11:19.100 --> 00:11:21.919 basic honesty. I've been on digs with you before. 00:11:22.100 --> 00:11:25.100 You take anything that belongs to the Beast Goddess, 00:11:25.460 --> 00:11:27.860 and she'll transform you into a wild animal. 00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:33.539 What's that, Uncle Bert? Those drums. Uh, you 00:11:33.539 --> 00:11:36.659 get used to it. It's just the native telegraph 00:11:36.659 --> 00:11:40.700 service. What are they saying? Why never learn 00:11:40.700 --> 00:11:44.840 to read them exactly I just get the general idea 00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:54.200 I yet I think it's News of death Yes, it's someone's 00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:59.779 death How can you tell well the basic rhythm 00:11:59.779 --> 00:12:04.519 speaks of death And since it's a very light beat 00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:09.740 it's probably Well, the death of a child. A child? 00:12:10.019 --> 00:12:14.039 Yes, I'm sure of it. Milly, is something wrong? 00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:20.379 Oh, I... I have a headache. I think I'd better 00:12:20.379 --> 00:12:28.799 turn in. Tamara, let's put the scaffold here. 00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:31.440 I want to climb this wall and study the inscription. 00:12:32.419 --> 00:12:37.320 Milly! Darling, you feel better? Yes, I suppose 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:39.919 so. I'll just have to live with this headache. 00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:46.080 Come here a minute. Okay. I'm Mara. Yes, Millie. 00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:53.299 Your little boy, I said, he's dead, isn't he? 00:12:53.440 --> 00:13:02.500 Yes. How did you know? I know. I'm sorry. I thank 00:13:02.500 --> 00:13:10.029 you. I mean, I... I hope you... you don't... 00:13:10.029 --> 00:13:14.470 Yes, Millie. I hope you don't think I'm responsible. 00:13:14.870 --> 00:13:18.809 Why should I think that, Millie? Because... Oh, 00:13:18.809 --> 00:13:23.950 I don't know. Yes, yes, I do. It's because I... 00:13:23.950 --> 00:13:28.049 I praised him just a few days ago and... you 00:13:28.049 --> 00:13:31.929 seemed so upset about it. I was upset. Oh, yes, 00:13:32.110 --> 00:13:36.330 very much. And Dr. Jorgensen... told me I know 00:13:36.330 --> 00:13:41.029 I know what he told you but my little boy my 00:13:41.029 --> 00:13:45.570 I said I died of fever the way so many children 00:13:45.570 --> 00:13:50.809 here do suddenly with without warning then you 00:13:50.809 --> 00:13:57.549 don't blame me I blame you no I am not a superstitious 00:13:57.549 --> 00:14:02.830 savage we poor ignorant natives we played this 00:14:02.830 --> 00:14:07.039 game with dr. Jorgensen and people like him about 00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:14.159 our gods and goddesses. I felt terrible. I was 00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:18.799 afraid you might. You see, in our culture, we 00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:21.460 believe in praise, especially when it comes to 00:14:21.460 --> 00:14:23.899 children. We automatically say nice things about 00:14:23.899 --> 00:14:28.080 children. I understand. And then, and then last 00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:30.759 night when I heard the drums, those... You must 00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:34.879 not feel bad. And to prove... That I tell the 00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:40.480 truth. I have a gift for you. For me? We have 00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:45.159 a custom. When we make someone feel bad, we must 00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:49.360 give that person a gift. And the person must 00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:55.500 accept. That's such a lovely bracelet. Where 00:14:55.500 --> 00:14:59.799 did you get it? Here. Oh, but we're not supposed 00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:03.200 to... There are thousands... Thousands of pieces 00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:07.259 of ornament. Who would know? Place it on your 00:15:07.259 --> 00:15:13.539 wrist. Ah, see how pretty it looks. Wherever 00:15:13.539 --> 00:15:18.000 you look, thousands of beautiful things. This 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:22.220 is the very last. Besides, it is the custom. 00:15:22.820 --> 00:15:27.240 Well, if it's the custom... And you must not 00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:31.730 tell Kevin or Dr. Jorgensen, because... You see, 00:15:32.230 --> 00:15:35.830 you would have to explain why I gave it. I understand. 00:15:36.409 --> 00:15:41.009 And it would make them uncomfortable. Because 00:15:41.009 --> 00:15:45.649 everything they have come to believe about superstition 00:15:45.649 --> 00:15:50.009 would be wrong. Millie! Millie! What is it, Kevin? 00:15:50.129 --> 00:15:52.549 Bring the camera. I want to shoot these inscriptions. 00:15:53.970 --> 00:15:58.009 Thank you again, Amara. And it will be our secret. 00:15:58.929 --> 00:16:10.639 I'm coming, Kevin! heedless, ignorant woman. 00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:17.100 You have defied my gods and killed my son. Your 00:16:17.100 --> 00:16:22.320 punishment has been decreed. It has already begun. 00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:33.000 Well, Aymara is obviously a man of parts, and 00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:35.720 he's already shown us quite a few of them so 00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:39.980 far. The punishment that has just begun will 00:16:39.980 --> 00:16:44.399 be expanded and continued when we return shortly 00:16:44.399 --> 00:17:00.860 with Act 2. Is it entirely valid to suggest that 00:17:00.860 --> 00:17:04.059 the best way to get a woman to do something is 00:17:04.059 --> 00:17:08.039 to order her not to do it? There seems to be 00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:12.140 some historical basis for it. Archaeologist Kevin 00:17:12.140 --> 00:17:15.900 has ordered his wife Millie not to touch any 00:17:15.900 --> 00:17:18.940 of the artifacts or ornaments found in his latest 00:17:18.940 --> 00:17:23.200 discovery. And now, he finds it impossible to 00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:26.940 take his eyes off her wrist. Is this the section 00:17:26.940 --> 00:17:29.180 of the temple wall you want me to film, Kevin? 00:17:31.380 --> 00:17:36.140 Kevin? Kevin, what are you looking at? What's 00:17:36.140 --> 00:17:40.960 that on your wrist? Oh Well, it's just Millie. 00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:45.579 Dr. Jorgensen told you I told you under no circumstances 00:17:45.579 --> 00:17:48.740 Were you to touch anything? Well, not only touched 00:17:48.740 --> 00:17:52.240 it. You're wearing it. Look the silly superstition. 00:17:52.380 --> 00:17:55.500 Where did you get it? Kevin I don't like that 00:17:55.500 --> 00:17:59.359 tone of voice. Hey What are you two good quarreling 00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:05.920 laughs showing Millie? Oh Uncle Bert listen I 00:18:05.920 --> 00:18:10.140 must ask you, Milly. Where did you get it? I 00:18:10.140 --> 00:18:13.559 found it. You found it here? Well, uh, around. 00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:17.420 Milly, I could tell by the workmanship. It was 00:18:17.420 --> 00:18:19.500 made by an ancient priest of the temple that 00:18:19.500 --> 00:18:22.539 has the same symbols. What's all the fuss? Milly, 00:18:22.740 --> 00:18:25.420 I thought we all understood. Why can't I have 00:18:25.420 --> 00:18:27.880 the bracelet? Because it belongs to the temple. 00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:30.200 Nonsense. It's been lying around the jungle for 00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:32.440 at least a thousand years. Who'd miss it? Its 00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:36.259 owner, the Beast Goddess. Kevin, are you serious? 00:18:37.299 --> 00:18:39.319 Go ahead, tell me the rest of it. Tell me she 00:18:39.319 --> 00:18:41.400 turns people who steal her property into animals. 00:18:42.019 --> 00:18:45.279 I can tell you that not even the natives believe 00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:48.480 that. Come on, fellas. We're overlooking a point, 00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:51.000 Millie. If it were made of gold or silver or 00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:53.220 precious stones, I could understand, but it's 00:18:53.220 --> 00:18:56.059 just a twisted piece of copper. Well, for all 00:18:56.059 --> 00:18:59.420 I know, we're being watched. If so, you can expect 00:18:59.420 --> 00:19:02.220 a poison arrow through your throat any second. 00:19:02.460 --> 00:19:05.349 You know, I listened to the two of you. And I... 00:19:05.349 --> 00:19:07.890 Millie, your trouble is that you don't... Now, 00:19:07.890 --> 00:19:11.509 let's not have an argument. I gave my word. That's 00:19:11.509 --> 00:19:14.430 all there is to it. Millie, you will take that 00:19:14.430 --> 00:19:18.009 bracelet off your wrist and put it back. Put 00:19:18.009 --> 00:19:22.750 it back exactly where you found it. Sure. I mean 00:19:22.750 --> 00:19:32.490 it, Millie. Well, sure, Uncle Bert. Sure. These 00:19:32.490 --> 00:19:35.170 are the symbols the Incas used for weddings. 00:19:35.569 --> 00:19:37.289 Well, could they have originated this far north 00:19:37.289 --> 00:19:40.369 and east, Dr. Jorgensen? Millie, photograph this 00:19:40.369 --> 00:19:48.089 section of the wall. Yes, yes. I need some more 00:19:48.089 --> 00:19:49.849 film. I'll be back in a second. Well, you don't 00:19:49.849 --> 00:19:52.109 have to go. We'll send a mirror. No, no, it's 00:19:52.109 --> 00:19:55.289 all right. I just want to stop off at the kitchen 00:19:55.289 --> 00:19:58.190 tent. I think I need a snack. We just had breakfast. 00:19:58.410 --> 00:20:00.569 I know, but I'm hungry. Are you sure you feel 00:20:00.569 --> 00:20:02.809 all right, Millie? Oh, I'm fine. Just a little 00:20:02.809 --> 00:20:07.329 hungry. That's all. Millie, about yesterday... 00:20:07.329 --> 00:20:12.690 What about yesterday? The bracelet. Oh, that. 00:20:13.450 --> 00:20:15.990 Forget it, Uncle Britt. I know that you see so 00:20:15.990 --> 00:20:18.650 much just lying around. It seems silly to make 00:20:18.650 --> 00:20:21.890 a fuss over some trinket, but... I'm willing 00:20:21.890 --> 00:20:36.670 to forget it if you are. Aymara. Yes, Milly? 00:20:36.710 --> 00:20:40.029 Where's the cook? He will be back soon. I was 00:20:40.029 --> 00:20:42.930 wondering if there's anything to eat? What would 00:20:42.930 --> 00:20:47.950 you like? Well, I'd like some meat. I could cook 00:20:47.950 --> 00:20:50.190 a slice. Oh, would you please, Aymara, and hurry? 00:20:51.130 --> 00:20:53.569 Will this be enough? Just throw it on the fire. 00:20:54.230 --> 00:20:59.670 Yes, Milly. That's good, oh. Oh, that smells 00:20:59.670 --> 00:21:02.890 good. Be careful. Don't burn it. I just put it. 00:21:02.910 --> 00:21:05.170 No, no, no. You're burning it. I'm all right. 00:21:05.410 --> 00:21:07.430 That's good. It's good. Right now. Just the way 00:21:07.430 --> 00:21:13.210 it is. I tell you, it's fine. Yes, Millie. Let 00:21:13.210 --> 00:21:16.130 me get you a plate and a knife and a fork. Oh, 00:21:16.130 --> 00:21:23.410 hurry. Here you are, Millie. I'm all right. Put 00:21:23.410 --> 00:21:33.400 up some more. Kevin. What is it, O'Mara? You 00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:36.799 asked me to prepare a list of supplies for the 00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:40.180 helicopter. Ah, yes, good. Let me write it down. 00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:46.519 First we need fresh meat. Okay, fresh meat. Wait 00:21:46.519 --> 00:21:50.220 a minute. Didn't Larry fly some up just a couple 00:21:50.220 --> 00:21:53.619 of days ago? Yes, Kevin. We should have at least 00:21:53.619 --> 00:21:55.859 enough for the rest of the week. The book says 00:21:55.859 --> 00:21:58.640 he has only enough for tonight's meal. That's 00:21:58.640 --> 00:22:04.079 impossible. Would you like to see Kevin? I take 00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:09.299 your word for it. But... There's someone stealing 00:22:09.299 --> 00:22:12.900 meat. I cannot say, Kevin. Well, I know we eat 00:22:12.900 --> 00:22:17.740 a lot of it, but still... All right, put down 00:22:17.740 --> 00:22:28.400 meat. And this time get plenty of it. Is there 00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:32.950 any more meat? Hi, Mara. I will go see. Meat? 00:22:33.890 --> 00:22:36.829 What's this with meat? You haven't eaten meat 00:22:36.829 --> 00:22:38.490 since I've known you. Aren't you going to finish 00:22:38.490 --> 00:22:40.930 yours, Kevin? I've had enough. Let me have your 00:22:40.930 --> 00:22:43.490 plate. You're out here. I must agree with you, 00:22:43.710 --> 00:22:46.789 Milly. I'm starved, Uncle Britt. I don't understand 00:22:46.789 --> 00:22:49.769 it. You must be famished. Honey, you haven't 00:22:49.769 --> 00:22:52.150 had meat in so long you've forgotten how to eat 00:22:52.150 --> 00:22:55.650 it. You have to chew it before you swallow. Excuse 00:22:55.650 --> 00:23:00.640 me. Get out some tops. Those? Oh, take them back. 00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:03.380 They're too well done. I want some rare. I'm 00:23:03.380 --> 00:23:06.839 sorry. This is all we have. Tell him to put up 00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:11.079 some more. There is no more meat. That's right. 00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:14.160 Larry's due in with supplies and the helicopter. 00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:17.240 When will he be here? I don't know. Sometime 00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:19.779 today. Why don't I take the 405 and shoot us 00:23:19.779 --> 00:23:22.160 a deer, or something we can eat? Really? Are 00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:24.720 you all right? Of course! I'm all right. Now, 00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:26.460 why do you ask? Well, don't snap my head off. 00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:29.000 Marty, you'd better get some rest here. You're 00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:33.200 tired. I'm not tired. I'm hungry. Milly, darling, 00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:36.779 something's wrong. Why? Well... Because this 00:23:36.779 --> 00:23:40.529 isn't like you, that's all. Kevin, I... Oh, I 00:23:40.529 --> 00:23:43.470 don't know. I have such a pain in my stomach. 00:23:43.970 --> 00:23:46.609 What kind of pain? Hunger. That's the only way 00:23:46.609 --> 00:23:48.950 I can describe it. But you shouldn't be hungry. 00:23:49.230 --> 00:23:52.750 I can't help it. I have this terrible craving 00:23:52.750 --> 00:23:56.089 for food. Oh, no, not for food. For meat. For 00:23:56.089 --> 00:23:59.529 red meat. Oh, Kevin. I confess I'm frightened. 00:23:59.750 --> 00:24:02.049 Take her to a tent, Kevin. Take her to a tent. 00:24:02.410 --> 00:24:05.079 We'll give her a Saturday. Oh, yeah. Yes, maybe 00:24:05.079 --> 00:24:07.799 that'll be best. Maybe that pain will go away. 00:24:07.859 --> 00:24:11.480 Come on, dear. Oh, Kevin. Oh, Kevin. You'll wake 00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:13.599 me when Larry gets here in the helicopter with 00:24:13.599 --> 00:24:17.039 the meat. Sure, sure. Promise? Promise? Yes, 00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:29.319 dear, I promise. Is she asleep, Kevin? Yes, finally. 00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:33.539 Dr. Jorgensen, what's wrong? I... Don't know. 00:24:33.619 --> 00:24:36.420 I've never seen her hysterical. Are you as worried 00:24:36.420 --> 00:24:38.480 as I am? I'm worried enough to want to get her 00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:41.099 to Rio to a hospital. Let's radio Larry to get 00:24:41.099 --> 00:24:43.819 that damn helicopter here pronto. I just spoke 00:24:43.819 --> 00:24:47.660 to Larry. We have a problem. It seems the helicopter 00:24:47.660 --> 00:24:50.700 needs some repairs. What kind of repairs, for 00:24:50.700 --> 00:24:53.720 God's sake? I don't know. It was technical. Larry's 00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:57.460 working on it. Larry, Larry, he's an idiot. If 00:24:57.460 --> 00:24:59.700 he hadn't brought her here... It's our fault, 00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:02.569 yours and mine. We let her stay. What are we 00:25:02.569 --> 00:25:06.170 going to do? You say she's asleep. Well, all 00:25:06.170 --> 00:25:12.069 she needs is rest. Maybe when she wakes up, she'll 00:25:12.069 --> 00:25:24.789 be better. Kevin. Kevin. I'm here, dear. I'm 00:25:24.789 --> 00:25:28.869 here. Oh, I was so sleepy. I know. I know. Get 00:25:28.869 --> 00:25:32.299 dark out. What time is it? Well, it's almost 00:25:32.299 --> 00:25:35.880 midnight. You let me sleep. You didn't wake me. 00:25:35.900 --> 00:25:38.319 I couldn't. But I was here and he brought the 00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:41.559 meat. No, dear. The helicopter's out of order. 00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:44.720 Oh, Kevin. I am so hungry. Well, I knew you'd 00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:47.160 be hungry when you woke up. So I'll make you 00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:49.380 an egg sandwich. No, no, no. I want the meat. 00:25:50.539 --> 00:25:52.940 But there isn't any. There's plenty of meat. 00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:57.539 Where, Milly? All around you. Out there. There's 00:25:57.539 --> 00:26:00.829 deer. There's wild pig. Can't you smell it? No, 00:26:01.089 --> 00:26:03.910 I... Millie! Can we have the 405? We'll be able 00:26:03.910 --> 00:26:06.609 to feast. You can't go out in the jungle in the 00:26:06.609 --> 00:26:09.029 middle of the night. Why not? Oh, Millie. Let 00:26:09.029 --> 00:26:12.029 me have the rifle, Kevin. No, Millie, not now. 00:26:12.049 --> 00:26:15.990 It's my rifle. I know, I know. In the morning. 00:26:16.069 --> 00:26:18.250 You can't hunt in the morning. All the animals 00:26:18.250 --> 00:26:21.130 are asleep. You can only hunt at night. Darling. 00:26:21.130 --> 00:26:23.529 Not the time. Now listen, here are some pills 00:26:23.529 --> 00:26:26.130 to calm you. Kevin, something's wrong with me. 00:26:26.130 --> 00:26:30.470 I don't know what. I say things I don't understand. 00:26:30.950 --> 00:26:34.450 I have urges. Oh, I can't even describe. Hold 00:26:34.450 --> 00:26:37.150 my hand. Yes, yes, darling. What is it, darling? 00:26:37.190 --> 00:26:39.950 What is it? Oh, my wrist! My wrist! It's burning! 00:26:40.269 --> 00:26:42.930 Oh! Oh, it's on fire! What's the matter, Mary? 00:26:43.230 --> 00:26:47.349 Look at her wrist. Oh, it's a very ugly -looking 00:26:47.349 --> 00:26:50.190 irritation. How'd you get it, Mary? Oh, I don't 00:26:50.190 --> 00:26:52.910 remember. I don't know. Oh, Uncle Bert, I don't 00:26:52.910 --> 00:26:55.490 know anything. I'm all right. I'm all right. 00:26:56.049 --> 00:26:59.299 Come in here. Now, Milly, you must try to be 00:26:59.299 --> 00:27:02.640 calm. Try, try, dear. Yes, Uncle Bernal's back. 00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:05.940 Now, tell me, how did you hurt your wrist? I 00:27:05.940 --> 00:27:09.500 don't know. I don't remember. Try to think. Try 00:27:09.500 --> 00:27:11.759 to remember. You probably have an infection, 00:27:12.099 --> 00:27:14.700 some kind of bruise. I don't have an infection. 00:27:14.839 --> 00:27:18.160 I'm not sick. I'm hungry. Do you understand? 00:27:18.579 --> 00:27:22.579 I'm hungry. You want me, Dr. Jorgensen? I'm our 00:27:22.579 --> 00:27:26.660 herb. Bring the medical kit. The first thing 00:27:26.660 --> 00:27:29.000 we have to do is put a penicillin ointment on 00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:32.339 that bruise. She's feverish. Ravenous appetite 00:27:32.339 --> 00:27:38.140 for meat. Bruise on wrist. Could be anything. 00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:42.680 She could have scraped it against a bramble, 00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:45.779 anything. Or an insect. Dr. Jorgensen, we have 00:27:45.779 --> 00:27:48.559 to get her out of here. Now, radio Larry, tell 00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:50.940 him it's an emergency. We have to do something. 00:27:50.940 --> 00:27:56.130 Don't lose your head. Miss Millie? Kevin, won't 00:27:56.130 --> 00:27:58.849 you get me something to eat? Yes, yes dear, I 00:27:58.849 --> 00:28:04.410 will. I have the medicines, Dr. Jordan. Kevin, 00:28:04.589 --> 00:28:07.369 you don't love me! I think we'd better put her 00:28:07.369 --> 00:28:24.269 to sleep. Hold your arms still, no dear. you 00:28:24.269 --> 00:28:28.630 a question? Yes, Dr. Jorgerson. Have you ever 00:28:28.630 --> 00:28:33.789 seen anything like this? Yes. Where? When? Once, 00:28:34.230 --> 00:28:38.430 it was a man. He had invaded these holy grounds. 00:28:39.089 --> 00:28:41.890 He had stolen a jewel from the Beast Goddess. 00:28:43.150 --> 00:28:49.430 He... Yes, go on. He then became a beast. He 00:28:49.430 --> 00:28:52.660 disappeared in... into the jungle, and he was 00:28:52.660 --> 00:28:57.420 never seen again. Thank you, Amar. You may leave. 00:28:58.960 --> 00:29:01.380 This kind of superstition we can do without. 00:29:01.740 --> 00:29:05.960 Maybe. And don't bite my head off. Maybe there's 00:29:05.960 --> 00:29:08.579 something to it. Something to what? To what he's 00:29:08.579 --> 00:29:13.019 saying. Oh, I know, I know. Primitive superstition. 00:29:13.599 --> 00:29:17.099 But look at us. You and me. Between us, we carry 00:29:17.099 --> 00:29:19.220 a considerable supply of the knowledge of the 00:29:19.220 --> 00:29:22.380 civilized world. Between us, we have degrees 00:29:22.380 --> 00:29:25.960 in medicine, anthropology, chemistry, sociology. 00:29:27.180 --> 00:29:29.700 Can we explain it? Are you saying the legend 00:29:29.700 --> 00:29:32.559 is true that Milly has offended the Beast Goddess 00:29:32.559 --> 00:29:35.700 and is being punished? I don't know what I'm 00:29:35.700 --> 00:29:39.539 saying. But look at her. Look how troubled, how 00:29:39.539 --> 00:29:42.880 agitated she is. She's flushed, breathing rapidly. 00:29:42.940 --> 00:29:45.420 She could burst through that sedative any minute. 00:29:45.470 --> 00:29:49.390 I'm so hungry! Try to rest, darling. I'm going 00:29:49.390 --> 00:29:52.049 to get on the radio. The helicopter is out of 00:29:52.049 --> 00:29:54.710 order. We're past all that. I'm going to speak 00:29:54.710 --> 00:29:57.869 with the hospital in Rio. I'll describe the symptoms. 00:29:58.150 --> 00:30:00.829 They'll arrange together. My wrist! Oh! Oh! My 00:30:00.829 --> 00:30:04.089 wrist! Oh! Oh! It's burning! Oh! Look at her 00:30:04.089 --> 00:30:07.190 wrist! Look at her wrist! Something's on it! 00:30:07.529 --> 00:30:11.029 I have to design! It's the shape of that bracelet! 00:30:11.250 --> 00:30:13.250 Heaven, it's your imagination! Here's a group! 00:30:13.750 --> 00:30:16.470 Do you see that symbol? It's on every ornament 00:30:16.470 --> 00:30:19.609 worn by the goddess. The design decorates her 00:30:19.609 --> 00:30:23.309 dress. Just a raw ugly scar. With some very wavy 00:30:23.309 --> 00:30:26.470 lines. But it's her sign. The sign of the beast 00:30:26.470 --> 00:30:29.809 goddess. The sign of the beast. It could be a 00:30:29.809 --> 00:30:33.109 coincidence. Do you believe that? Tell me, do 00:30:33.109 --> 00:30:36.210 you believe it? Kevin, I don't know what to believe. 00:30:43.569 --> 00:30:47.109 Well. You've got a pretty good handful of advanced 00:30:47.109 --> 00:30:51.329 college degrees in that tent. Most of them in 00:30:51.329 --> 00:30:56.029 the sciences. And it's surprising how quickly 00:30:56.029 --> 00:30:59.269 knowledge abdicates in the face of the unknown 00:30:59.269 --> 00:31:03.950 terrors of the jungle. Can science be just a 00:31:03.950 --> 00:31:09.130 veneer also? I'll return shortly with Act 3. 00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:25.119 Hamlet said that there were more things under 00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:28.759 heaven and earth than were dreamed of in philosophy. 00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:33.579 Hamlet should be with us in a tent deep in a 00:31:33.579 --> 00:31:37.140 South American jungle amidst the ruins of an 00:31:37.140 --> 00:31:41.420 ancient temple because there are more things 00:31:41.420 --> 00:31:46.279 than any of us can dream of. Is she still asleep? 00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:50.180 I think so. She shouldn't be left alone. I'll 00:31:50.180 --> 00:31:53.460 go back on the 10th in a second. Dr. Jorgensen, 00:31:54.279 --> 00:31:57.400 I just had to find out. Were you able to radio 00:31:57.400 --> 00:32:00.680 the hospital? Kevin, it's two o 'clock in the 00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:03.299 morning. What's the difference? My contact there, 00:32:03.339 --> 00:32:05.960 the chief of medicine, he's due at seven. Can 00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:08.660 he be reached? Kevin, he's returning from vacation. 00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:10.880 He's on the road. It's only five hours. Don't 00:32:10.880 --> 00:32:16.380 worry. Poor Millie. You know, she really didn't 00:32:16.380 --> 00:32:20.230 mean any harm. And there are scads of this stuff 00:32:20.230 --> 00:32:24.269 lying around. I know. It's a pretty little thing. 00:32:24.930 --> 00:32:28.049 Who'd miss it? She didn't think it was stealing? 00:32:28.769 --> 00:32:32.190 Kevin, don't talk as if... As if what? As if 00:32:32.190 --> 00:32:34.930 you believe this is the revenge of the Beast 00:32:34.930 --> 00:32:38.250 Goddess? Can you rule it out? Kevin! If they 00:32:38.250 --> 00:32:41.549 can't send a copter for her, I'll carry her out 00:32:41.549 --> 00:32:45.109 of here on my back! Those damn drums! What are 00:32:45.109 --> 00:32:48.759 they saying? Is it important? I'm getting so 00:32:48.759 --> 00:32:52.779 jumpy. What are the drums saying? Oh, Malcolm. 00:32:53.059 --> 00:32:55.859 That isn't so, Dr. Jorgensen. Why do you make 00:32:55.859 --> 00:32:58.180 an issue out of it? Why do you refuse to tell 00:32:58.180 --> 00:33:02.079 me? Now, you can read those drums the way I can 00:33:02.079 --> 00:33:05.539 read a telegram. Now, what are you trying to 00:33:05.539 --> 00:33:09.759 keep from me? It's just that I thought the agitated 00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:11.559 state you're in right now. Well, don't make it 00:33:11.559 --> 00:33:14.720 worse. What are those drums saying? Well, admit 00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:19.259 it. It has to do with revenge. Revenge? What 00:33:19.259 --> 00:33:22.180 was that? Those were rifle shots. Well, who'd 00:33:22.180 --> 00:33:27.859 be firing at this hour? Come on! Millie! Millie! 00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:32.420 She's gone. She's got her rifle. Miller! Wake 00:33:32.420 --> 00:33:34.680 everybody up! Rouse the camp! We have to find 00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:42.220 Millie! Millie! Millie! Millie! Millie! Careful 00:33:42.220 --> 00:33:44.200 now. Watch every footstep. It's a good thing 00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:47.559 there's a moon. Millie! Millie! Where are you? 00:33:48.740 --> 00:33:51.480 Those shots came from just about here. Why did 00:33:51.480 --> 00:33:53.980 she go out? Let's quit pretending you know why 00:33:53.980 --> 00:33:57.160 she went out. To hunt! At night? Why? Because 00:33:57.160 --> 00:34:00.079 she's hungry! Killer! What are we going to face 00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:03.519 it? Admit it! Millie! Millie! Can't you hear 00:34:03.519 --> 00:34:12.239 us? Look! Where? Oh! Oh no! No, no! She can't 00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:17.769 be dead! Millie, she seems to be breathing. There's 00:34:17.769 --> 00:34:22.170 blood all over her. But it isn't her blood. She 00:34:22.170 --> 00:34:29.530 must have shot this deer. Millie, are you all 00:34:29.530 --> 00:34:52.570 right? I feel so nice and warm. Can you reach 00:34:52.570 --> 00:34:55.429 the doctor yet? Yes, Karen. They're sending a 00:34:55.429 --> 00:34:58.690 copter. He'll be here late this afternoon or 00:34:58.690 --> 00:35:00.829 tomorrow morning. Oh, that's great. They're doing 00:35:00.829 --> 00:35:03.090 the best they can. Oh, sure. It'll be reasonable. 00:35:03.269 --> 00:35:06.070 Reasonable, huh? My wife is being destroyed before 00:35:06.070 --> 00:35:09.510 my eyes. It seems there is or they think that 00:35:09.510 --> 00:35:12.590 this might be a very unusual disease. Oh, come 00:35:12.590 --> 00:35:15.309 on. It's an infection. She might have picked 00:35:15.309 --> 00:35:18.230 it up from a bracelet. What are you talking about? 00:35:18.449 --> 00:35:20.389 It could have scratched her when she put it on. 00:35:20.429 --> 00:35:22.969 And? Well, it's been lying here for hundreds 00:35:22.969 --> 00:35:26.590 of years. All kinds of parasites, microorganisms. 00:35:27.469 --> 00:35:30.530 Anyhow, it seems this disease creates enormous 00:35:30.530 --> 00:35:34.030 cravings for protein. And what does your man 00:35:34.030 --> 00:35:37.289 suggest? Massive doses of penicillin. Well, do 00:35:37.289 --> 00:35:42.710 we have enough? I... I hope so. I'm Omar! Yes, 00:35:42.769 --> 00:35:47.789 Dr. Jorgensen. Bring me the medical chest. Kevin! 00:35:48.409 --> 00:35:53.690 Kevin! She's awake. I'm coming, dear. Kevin. 00:35:54.590 --> 00:35:57.250 No, Millie, now lie still. Don't get up. Oh, 00:35:57.250 --> 00:36:01.070 I feel so comfy. How's your wrist? My wrist? 00:36:01.869 --> 00:36:05.409 Oh, it's okay. It only hurts when I feel hungry. 00:36:05.869 --> 00:36:10.070 And you're not hungry now? No, no. You know, 00:36:10.070 --> 00:36:13.489 I had such a crazy dream, I better not tell you. 00:36:13.690 --> 00:36:17.789 You've got to. You've aroused my curiosity. You 00:36:17.789 --> 00:36:21.010 won't believe it. You try me. Don't laugh, promise? 00:36:21.510 --> 00:36:25.929 I promise. Well, I dreamed I went out into the 00:36:25.929 --> 00:36:29.070 jungle alone at night. There's a picture for 00:36:29.070 --> 00:36:31.769 you. Imagine me alone in the jungle at night. 00:36:32.110 --> 00:36:36.769 Anyway, I dreamed I shot this, I think it was 00:36:36.769 --> 00:36:40.849 an antler, something like that. Yes. And I was 00:36:40.849 --> 00:36:45.429 so hungry, I ate it right there. What a dream. 00:36:46.429 --> 00:36:49.739 You know, I felt so... Oh, just before, but just 00:36:49.739 --> 00:36:52.300 talking about food seems to give me an appetite. 00:36:53.039 --> 00:36:55.519 How about some tea and toast? Tea and toast? 00:36:55.699 --> 00:36:59.659 Oh, how about a nice chop? Or cake? Rare, very 00:36:59.659 --> 00:37:03.619 rare. Well, Larry's been unable to fly up the 00:37:03.619 --> 00:37:05.539 supplies. Doesn't matter, I can go out and shoot. 00:37:05.780 --> 00:37:09.519 Later, Millie, later. You're not hungry now, 00:37:09.639 --> 00:37:13.000 are you? Oh, well, not very, but in a little 00:37:13.000 --> 00:37:18.050 while. Okay, then just a little while. Promise. 00:37:19.070 --> 00:37:29.289 Okay, I promise. Where have you been, Doctor? 00:37:29.289 --> 00:37:31.969 I've been waiting in the tent. Don't leave her 00:37:31.969 --> 00:37:34.389 alone again, Kevin. Where's that penicillin? 00:37:34.429 --> 00:37:37.289 That's just the problem. What problem? Look, 00:37:37.389 --> 00:37:39.489 we just can't have any more problems. We do. 00:37:39.550 --> 00:37:43.309 The penicillin is gone. That's impossible. All 00:37:43.309 --> 00:37:45.730 the bottles of penicillin solution, all the tablets, 00:37:46.110 --> 00:37:49.590 gone. But how? I don't know. Are any other supplies 00:37:49.590 --> 00:37:52.829 missing? No, everything's here. Calvin! Go to 00:37:52.829 --> 00:37:56.429 it quickly. The penicillin. Amara brought me 00:37:56.429 --> 00:37:59.489 the chest. The drug was missing. We have spares 00:37:59.489 --> 00:38:01.750 in the supply depot. I looked. Gone from there 00:38:01.750 --> 00:39:00.420 too. Calvin! I need to get some rest. Damn helicopter. 00:39:00.719 --> 00:39:02.480 He could never find us at night. He'll have to 00:39:02.480 --> 00:39:05.039 wait till morning. I don't know if she can wait 00:39:05.039 --> 00:39:08.940 until morning. Listen, we don't have medicine. 00:39:10.320 --> 00:39:12.280 Let's try the other thing. What other thing? 00:39:12.380 --> 00:39:15.599 The legend. Maybe we can placate the goddess. 00:39:16.099 --> 00:39:18.920 Can't we? Is there anything else we can do? There's 00:39:18.920 --> 00:39:22.579 something happening here. The penicillin is gone. 00:39:23.199 --> 00:39:25.380 How do you account for it? He may have forgotten 00:39:25.380 --> 00:39:29.119 to pack it. Nonsense. Last night, you said the 00:39:29.119 --> 00:39:33.219 drums were talking about revenge. Revenge for 00:39:33.219 --> 00:39:37.280 who? For what? And what are they saying tonight? 00:39:38.659 --> 00:39:43.880 It's... Revenge. Kevin! Come in here! I'm coming. 00:39:44.340 --> 00:39:51.159 I'm coming. Kevin, I want the 405. Untie me. 00:39:51.679 --> 00:39:55.719 No, Millie. Millie. What did you do with it? 00:39:55.840 --> 00:39:59.489 Untie me. What did you do with it? The bracelet? 00:40:00.389 --> 00:40:03.030 You didn't put it back, did you? I'm hungry. 00:40:03.489 --> 00:40:07.769 I'll die, Kevin. I'll die. I'll untie you. If 00:40:07.769 --> 00:40:11.449 you just tell me, where did you put the bracelet? 00:40:13.789 --> 00:40:17.449 I'll get you some meats. Yes. Oh, Kevin, yes. 00:40:17.849 --> 00:40:22.190 The bracelet. The bracelet. Yes, it's in my neck. 00:40:22.190 --> 00:40:28.590 I can't... Where did you find the bracelet? You 00:40:28.590 --> 00:40:30.889 promised to untie me! Where did you find the 00:40:30.889 --> 00:40:33.230 bracelet? I must go hunting! Oh, Kevin! Where 00:40:33.230 --> 00:40:36.769 did you find the bracelet, Millie? I didn't find 00:40:36.769 --> 00:40:40.070 it! Tell me the truth or I'll... I'll never untie 00:40:40.070 --> 00:41:10.699 you! where you hid that penicillin. Or I'll blow 00:41:10.699 --> 00:41:15.360 your brains out. You make it, B. That's not the 00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:17.900 way. Let me beat it out of him. For the past 00:41:17.900 --> 00:41:21.320 two nights, Samara, the drums have talked of 00:41:21.320 --> 00:41:25.679 revenge. Whose revenge? Mine. Upon whom? Billy. 00:41:25.900 --> 00:41:29.940 For what reason? She killed my only son. How? 00:41:30.159 --> 00:41:34.159 She made the gods jealous. She spoke of his beauty, 00:41:34.280 --> 00:42:06.650 his intelligence, his... I will not say No, he 00:42:06.650 --> 00:42:09.269 won't kill you. Who says I won't kill him? Be 00:42:09.269 --> 00:42:13.510 quiet. No one will kill you. But I am a blood 00:42:13.510 --> 00:42:17.289 brother to your chief. I will tell him that you 00:42:17.289 --> 00:42:19.710 committed a sacrilege. I will tell him that you 00:42:19.710 --> 00:42:22.469 stole a bracelet from the Goddess for an evil 00:42:22.469 --> 00:42:26.750 purpose. Now you may go, Amar. What do you mean, 00:42:26.750 --> 00:42:30.070 he may go? He'll be disgraced for life. His wife, 00:42:30.130 --> 00:42:32.809 his parents, his brothers and sisters, all will 00:42:32.809 --> 00:42:35.489 be driven from the village into the jungle. No 00:42:35.489 --> 00:42:38.630 one will speak to him. Why do you stay here, 00:42:38.829 --> 00:42:42.730 Amara? We have no further use for you. Oh, I 00:42:42.730 --> 00:42:48.670 believe we owe you a month's wages. Here, plus 00:42:48.670 --> 00:43:11.719 two weeks' notice. Why do I have to go through 00:43:11.719 --> 00:43:15.860 this mumbo -jumbo? Just do it, Millie. Now place 00:43:15.860 --> 00:43:19.539 the bracelet on the wrist of the statue. Ugly 00:43:19.539 --> 00:43:23.380 old girl, isn't she? Millie. Okay, okay. Now 00:43:23.380 --> 00:43:34.179 say, forgive my sin. What sin? Okay. Forgive 00:43:34.179 --> 00:43:39.340 my sin. What else? That's all. That says it. 00:43:41.550 --> 00:43:45.789 Well, that's a relief. I must have been a child 00:43:45.789 --> 00:43:50.170 to you boys. What happened to me anyhow? The 00:43:50.170 --> 00:43:52.530 way you were shooting, Penis, something to me. 00:43:53.010 --> 00:43:58.989 How are you now, darling? Okay. Again? Oh, but 00:43:58.989 --> 00:44:06.349 I'm so hungry. Hungry? Starved. For what? Meat? 00:44:07.489 --> 00:44:11.119 Meat. Since when did I ever eat meat? Just point 00:44:11.119 --> 00:44:14.699 me at some tea and toast and salad and fruit. 00:44:16.099 --> 00:44:25.940 I might even have an egg. It's always good not 00:44:25.940 --> 00:44:30.199 to put all your eggs in one basket. Always have 00:44:30.199 --> 00:44:34.739 another course of action in reserve. What cured 00:44:34.739 --> 00:44:38.889 Millie? The atonement before the goddess? and 00:44:38.889 --> 00:44:43.190 the return of the bracelet, or the penicillin, 00:44:44.090 --> 00:45:01.090 or both. I'll be back shortly. The sign of the 00:45:01.090 --> 00:45:06.849 beast. It can appear anywhere, anytime, and in 00:45:06.849 --> 00:45:11.849 anyone. And the trouble is, in our world today, 00:45:12.349 --> 00:45:16.429 it appears much too often. Our cast included 00:45:16.429 --> 00:45:20.909 Lois Smith, Paul McGrath, Tom Keener, and Dan 00:45:20.909 --> 00:45:24.250 Arko. The entire production was under the direction 00:45:24.250 --> 00:45:29.869 of Hyman Brown. And now, a preview of our next 00:45:29.869 --> 00:45:42.980 tale. Richard? Richard, are you awake? Huh? It's 00:45:42.980 --> 00:45:51.400 her! It's April! Oh my God! Stay away! Stay away! 00:45:52.119 --> 00:45:56.059 Richard! Wake up! Help me! What's happening? 00:45:56.719 --> 00:46:00.019 Jenny, Jenny, what is it? There's nothing. Don't 00:46:00.019 --> 00:46:04.739 you hear? Hear what? There's nothing. But there 00:46:04.739 --> 00:46:06.820 was... You look as though you'd seen a ghost. 00:46:07.079 --> 00:46:13.210 Nuts! scene. I heard. It was her. April, your 00:46:13.210 --> 00:46:17.969 wife. Be quiet! You're my wife. April is dead. 00:46:18.150 --> 00:46:23.610 But she still doesn't want me here. Nobody does. 00:46:24.309 --> 00:46:26.909 This is E .G. Marshall inviting you to return 00:46:26.909 --> 00:46:30.050 to our mystery theater for another adventure 00:46:30.050 --> 00:46:34.289 in the macabre. Until next time.
