Cannibal Holocaust Page #2

and he'll forget all about

trying to run away tonight.

Atalaka, catra!

This will make him very happy,

just wait and see.

Drug addicts in the jungle.

Hey, give him some of this.

A little muskrat stomach.

He'll love it.

You like it? Eat it it's all yours,

go on stuff yourself.

What the hell is that?

I swear, that looks like a ritualistic punishment

for adultery. That's what it is.

Just sit back and enjoy the show, because afterwards

he's gonna take us to the village.

Don't be a fool!

Come on, Professor!

That punishment is considered

a divine commandment.

If he had not killed her,

the tribe would have killed him.

Here he comes!

Follow him!

It's no masterpiece but it'll do.

Can you guess what it's for?

Oh let me try Chaco,

please let me try...

Ok, is it possible that this way they won't know

How many of us there are

until we talk with them?

He's learning fast eh, Miguel?

Terrific, just terrific!

They're coming ..

Where?

I don't see a thing

Don't worry, they are there ..

I know they are there, but where?!

I don't see anything.

Come on, let's send out our ambassador.

Come on Miguel.

F*** good luck!

Come on boy...

We may be in trouble...

Good... you've raised deductive reasoning to an art.

Instinct...

Something says your friends have made quite a mess of things.

Wait!

If Miguel pulls this off, I swear

I'll buy him a bottle of whiskey.

This is supposed to demonstrate their good intentions.

There, they're going to show themselves now.

Where the hell are you going?

They're going to lead you into an ambush.

No, this is a sign of a good professor.

You could a fooled me...

They just want to show us they are brave warriors.

They want us to follow them to the village.

Follow them?

Yea, to return the prisoner and to talk.

Listen, I do not know about this.

I think they want us for dinner tonight.

Chaco...

Pretend you've seen nothing.

OK.

Friends shot him.

Let's hope he doesn't die from wound...

Get busy, Miguel!

You can breathe easy...

It's alright now, Professor.

Kimnamma...

Cheers, Professor...

You now have the honor of drinking Hisimo.

Yes.

The group we are looking for...

is probably headed for the center of the jungle.

or the center of the Matos.

No white man has ever seen before.

This area is under the domination

of two cannibal tribes.

They are so fierce, they are feared

by all of the tribes in the area.

Including the tough courageous warriors

of the Yacumo Tribe.

These are the two super powers

of the Green Inferno.

Perpetually at war with each other.

The Yanomano or Tree People.

and Shamatari, the Swamp People.

Each considers the other fair game.

Hunted...

Then eaten.

This will keep you high and dry.

No, thanks.

Yacumo blame the Alan Yates' crew

...for the great calamity

exactly what happened remains a mystery.

Only know the four whites...

Hey! Shut that up!

God, we're in the middle of a hunt.

Tree people or both?

Both hunting each other...

Lets get going.

Despite the fact that our intervention

saved them from the Shamatari

The tree people, although they welcomed

us into their territory

continue to behave strangely towards us.

With a mixture of fear and distrust.

Nevertheless we've been permitted

to observe the execution of one of the warriors.

Death by mutilation.

Criminal thwarted by the chief.

Criminal for the way he was destroyed.

Must have done something horrible

to incur the wrath of his own people.

It is not clear whether it was to pay

a debt of honor towards us...

or only to demonstrate

how they dispense justice?

Careful, they're referring to us...

We weren't able to get anything

out of the Yanomamo.

Except for the wristwatch they gave us.

as a token of the gratitude to an ally

An ally they continue to fear and mistrust.

So I decided to try an experiment in psychology.

to strip myself completely

Clothes, weapons, dog tags, rings,

everything to become like them...

Naked and unfettered as Adam.

The Tree People would not let us

bury the ghastly remains.

they had painted ochre

To drive away the evil spirits

which the dead represented.

Once again I ask myself

What unspeakable crimes could have called

for such atrocious retribution.

I know our lives are hanging by a thread.

But I can't turn back without

at least trying to recover

the footage Alan Yates and the others

paid for with their lives.

I'm thinking of the enormous human

and scientific interest it's going to contain.

I must do something.

Chaco and Miguel can't possibly understand this.

Yet, I must somehow gain

the confidence of these savages.

After all, they too have rules of conduct.

Hold it.

You did it, God damn it!

They just invited us to dinner.

By some incredible act of God

they hadn't tried to open it.

I'm hoping the climate hadn't damaged it too much.

And so in exchange for the tape recorder...

The Cannibal chief let you

take away the cans of film. Is that it?

Yes, they thought since I was capable of capturing

human voice I was also capable of capturing their spirit.

This convinced them that I was the only one

capable of breaking the evil spell

That had been cast over the Tribe...

by the murder of the whites...

Of course, they had no inkling

of what was really in those cans.

How could you explain what a movie is?

They just felt they were a threat.

Why do you say threat?

Well the Yanomamo's understood how important

these film cans were to Alan Yates' crew

They thought these silver boxes contain power

The power which I must say again...

Caused much damage and violence.

A fantastic story.

Thank you, Professor Monroe.

You're very welcome.

As we conclude this special interview

we would like to remind you Wednesday at 9pm

here on Pantheon,

we'll be presenting part 1 of The Green Inferno.

The dramatic film testimony,

of an extraordinary adventure...

that took its protagonists

all the way back to the stone age.

And you would be the ideal

host of the program?

That's right.

Professor Monroe,

as an eye witness as well as a scientist,

you would be the most...

Yes... but before I make any decisions

I'd like to review all the film material.

As of yet we've seen none of it.

Professor Monroe, I can assure you...

that they knew exactly what they want.

That maybe...

But meanwhile they're all dead, aren't they?

Which is exactly why we have

to let the public know the truth.

We'll let the people be the judge.

Better yet, we'll let the people

who knew them best be the judge.

Their parents, their wives...

This is a documentary they shot for us...

about a year and a half ago.

Can I start?

- Yes, please do.

Pretty powerful stuff huh?

Well just to give you an idea

how Alan and the others worked.

Everything that you just saw was a put on.

You mean this was...

That was no enemy army approaching.

Alan paid those soldiers

to do a bit of acting.

You'll have to excuse me now.

I'll join you later.

Yes, thank you.

Shall I go ahead?
