Samoa Regina della Jungla (Samoa, Queen of the Jungle) Page #2

---

maybe it's peaceful here.

Maybe, but it's

better to stay on our guard.

From here, we continue on foot.

Tie up the boat and unload it.

Here, the falls!

We have to get beyond them.

Let's try that way.

Which way to take?

We have to split up.

Stark, Moreau,

Schwarz and Kama, try that way.

We'll go that way. At nightfall,

we all return here.

Let's go.

This way.

This way.

To cover, quickly!

They're under attack!

Quick!

Get away from him, quick!

Forward!

They're attacking from behind!

Over here!

We were attacked!

Quick, behind the rocks!

Where's Kama?

He's dead.

Give me another clip.

Look out, Clint!

More are coming!

They fled.

There weren't a large number of them.

Maybe they wanted to test

our forces.

They'll return for sure,

and in greater numbers.

We have to find a way

past the falls.

Otherwise, all is lost.

Let's get our things and go.

Stop, don't shoot.

Quick, follow me.

Who are you?

How do you know our language?

I will explain.

You are in danger, come on.

There. The Kayaques

never leave the jungle.

The falls scare them.

Finally some good news.

Now, where

are you taking us?

To the top of the mountain,

to my village.

No, hold on!

Who's to say

it's not a trap?

She showed up after

the natives fled,

she could be their accomplice.

She might be part

of the same tribe.

Why should she be trusted?

Thank you, Nancy.

All in all,

we have no other choice.

Come.

There, that is my village.

The grand chief

wishes you welcome.

He asks the reason for your trip

to the heart of the island.

My comrades and I

are doing research on the age

and formation of

the South Seas islands

analyzing rocks and

minerals in the soil.

You need rest.

His son Daran will accompany you.

We will talk later of

your trip. Come.

Professor... should we start here?

Yes. We'll split up

as intended.

The diamond streams

must be there.

See you back at the village.

Let's go, Alain.

You try that side.

What marvelous scenery.

I don't know why,

but it seems familiar to me.

Maybe I've seen it in a dream.

Look.

Take the other one,

leave me with Samoa.

She may know

about the diamonds.

Me, Alain...

And you?

Jasmine. Me, Alain...

No. Me, Alain.

Me, Alain... you, Jasmine.

Me, Alain...

And me, Samoa.

Why do you speak our language?

I am the daughter of a white man

who lived here.

He married a native.

She is dead.

My father died also, shortly after.

But he taught me his language.

Who was your father,

what was he doing here?

He was a strange man.

He was searching for something here.

Then he fell in love with

his "paradise" and he stayed.

What was he looking for, exactly?

I don't know.

Maybe the same thing as you.

What do you think?

You're very beautiful, Samoa.

After our survey,

the situation is clear.

Several streams

converge at the falls.

Some don't run for

part of the year,

and I doubt they contain

any diamonds.

The others run continuously.

And?

If Mr. Wang's indications

are correct,

those are the streams

that interest us.

Tomorrow at dawn, we'll begin

to sift the stream.

- It's Clint.

- One moment.

At dawn,

we begin our research.

You plan to bring

this native,

Samoa?

No. Why?

If I were you, Clint,

I'd avoid her.

I'd stay as far

aways as possible.

Doc, a hundred bucks says I find

the first diamonds!

I'll take that bet, Alain.

Sample no 15.

Presence of crystallized minerals

and traces of quartz sand.

You find anything?

Still nothing.

In this sample,

traces of wolframite, uraninite

and perhaps molybdenite.

No fancy words, Professor.

Are there diamonds, yes or no?

I am a geologist, Mr. Moreau,

not a diviner.

Moreau is impatient,

like all of us.

We risked our hides

to get here.

Is there any hope?

No one can say.

Well, until tomorrow.

What are you doing here?

Clint... I've been waiting.

Why did you come?

So?

Nothing.

Dawson, look at this.

Professor,

did you find any diamonds?

In this area, no.

Maybe further upstream.

There are only rocks here!

We've already searched here.

It turned up nothing.

We have to go farther in.

But where?

The river has dozens of branches.

And they extend over 200 km.

Tomorrow, we'll try the other side.

Let's go.

What luck...

He fell into the water.

- Who, Dawson?

- Yes.

- And then?

- I managed to grab hold of him.

- Who is that woman?

- Who, Nancy ?

That's Dawson's secretary,

a nice girl.

Why are you interested in her?

I always see her with you.

Take it!

Where's Alain?

Haven't seen him all day.

Me...

Love...

Alain.

Nothing.

So we keep trying.

Tomorrow,

we stick to the river branches.

To go where?

- Into the jungle, north of the falls.

- That's 200 km!

An unknown area, more dangerous

than the one we traversed.

Dawson's right.

There's no way, Clint!

This expedition is folly.

I say we continue tomorrow.

You're a fool!

You can't make us.

Go where you like.

As for us, we're turning around.

I'm the chief.

And only I decide

what we do.

You think so?

The diamonds!

I've seen them!

Enormous, very beautiful!

Thousands of them!

You found them? Where?

In a cave.

Jasmine showed me the way.

There's a fetish, and then,

a mountain of diamonds!

- A mountain!

- Show us!

- Come!

- Let's go.

What are you doing?

These are the stones of life

that the river has provided.

They protect us

from diseases, accidents

and war.

These are sacred stones.

Put them down, Moreau.

Leave, everyone.

You came looking for these?

No.

I have a bad feeling.

Your friends might

not be sincere.

Something isn't right

about them.

Don't worry, Samoa.

Nothing will happen.

We'll leave soon.

Why don't you stay here?

I'm not sedentary.

I could stay one month,

maybe two.

But then, I would have

to leave. Understand?

I understand.

But I don't want to lose you.

I'll take you with me.

I love you.

So, what do you intend?

You're asking us?

We've risked our hides

a thousand times

to let these stupid natives

have such a fortune?

Anyone who keeps us from

the diamonds will get shot.

Do you agree?

That works for me.

Stark?

I agree.

And you, Alain?

What do you think we should do?

I haven't decided yet.

I might stay here.

Here? Are you crazy?

Maybe.

But I'm finally happy.

That is my purpose in life.

And I'm not here to steal.

What do you mean by that?

You'd betray us?

Don't worry.

Do what you want.

- I'll be off then.

- Good!

One less person to share.

But would Clint agree?

We'll deal with him.

We have to hurry...

We've chosen to

take the diamonds.

Well, that's what

I decided too.

I was about to say that.

Then we're all agreed.

Do you have any idea

how to go on from here?

Huh...

We don't know the passages

in these caves.

How can we pass the falls

and reach the river?

Once they find out, the natives

will catch up quickly.

Well then?

Don't worry, Moreau.

You never wondered

why I got along

so well with Samoa?

You're clever, you are.

When do we take action?

Tomorrow.
