The Devil Came from Akasava Page #3

---

So far, modern medicine has

not found any serum for it.

- What do you do in London with them?

- They go to a specialty clinic,

run by Dr. Henry,

they can do more for them there.

Andrew?

l want you to meet

Mr. Forrester.

- Hello.

- Hello.

Your uncle was

one of my best friends.

l heard that you were one of the last

people to talk to my uncle.

Yes, l think so. But someone must have

seen him after that.

Let's go have a cup of coffee.

Come.

- What is your theory, Doctor?

- lt's the jungle... very simple.

You don't seem to think so,

Mr. Forrester.

l must be absolutely certain.

lf we can help you,

you will find us in Rio dos Mortes.

What a charming name.

- lt means... ''River of Death.''

- That's what l thought.

An old legend says

that it is the devil's birthplace.

l like strange old tales.

Sometimes these legends

hold a kernel of truth.

What do you think?

Come, continue.

Well...

there is supposedly

some stone,

that changes a certain metal to gold

under the right circumstances.

This mineral has rays

that burn everything,

it must be a completely

unknown type of mineral.

Professor Forrester, your uncle,

found one of these stones someplace.

Some criminals must

have found out about it

and kidnapped him to find out

where he found the stone.

Because whoever has

one of these stones,

controls the world's gold market.

A nice fairy tale.

Really.

Oh, no, this is most certainly

no fairy tale.

Okay, let's assume that there is

some truth to this story.

Has anybody ever seen

one of these stones?

Certainly.

You don't believe that they wouldn't

look for them otherwise?

Well, then tell me everything.

Well, l took your nice

dead body with me,

- in your own car.

- Why?

l wanted to save you from a few years

in government housing.

- Extraordinarily funny.

- Do you know, there is someone,

whose machinations

are hard to comprehend.

- And who is that?

- Dr. Thorrsen.

- Eavesdropping is fun, isn't it?

- Who's eavesdropping?

Jane, it's all right.

May l introduce you to Major Celli

of the ltalian Secret Service?

lf that is the case,

then l did eavesdrop.

Maybe you can imagine

what we plan to do.

Certainly.

l assume you want to take

a closer look at Dr. Thorrsen's clinic,

and he would be in the way.

You will never see such beautiful

flowers in a greenhouse.

They really are beautiful.

- Walter, what is it?

- Damn it-

- somebody took a shot at me.

- Come, l'll help you.

Well, l'm afraid

your leg is broken.

- Damn it, what else?

- Oh, it's not that bad.

We only have to give you

a plaster cast.

lt's not that bad.

Why don't you give

Mr. Forrester a sedative?

- lt will get better.

- lt's enough for me,

if l feel the way l used to.

Why don't you cheer up, Walter?

This way you at least

get to come to London with us

and we'll stay together.

Oh, then l'm really

very happy.

Now start to count

from one to 10.

One...

two...

three...

four...

five...

six.

Yes.

Do you really think

his leg is pretty bad?

Really, sweetheart,

stop it.

Are you really seriously

concerned about him?

l only want to know

what's going on.

Remember once and for all-

what l do here,

l do for both of us,

do you understand? For both of us.

Would you tell me now

what you plan to do with him?

Our dear young friend

will take the stone

for us to London,

packaged in lead and plaster.

But why him?

Because nobody will suspect

Professor Forrester's nephew.

- Understood?

- But that is much too dangerous.

Only for him.

Not for us.

- What would you like?

- Champagne.

- There you go.

- Yes, thank you.

Do you like her?

l can't stand her.

l don't either.

Oh, really?

- And l hate you.

- Oh, how charming.

First you love me,

now you hate me.

No objections.

The only thing

that l can't stand

is you don't care at all.

Oh, hello.

- Good evening.

- We haven't seen each other for ages.

Thank you for the invitation.

We enjoyed your performance.

You are doing this very, ah,

seductively, l must say.

Oh, thank you very much,

l must admit, l always...

am a little afraid,

when there are friends in the audience.

Tell me, why did you

invite us tonight?

Well, you know,

l feel so alone, everything

is so boring, so terribly bland.

Yes, l understand,

l also think it is boring here.

And l have a lot of work

waiting for me back at the clinic.

My husband sometimes is less

than polite.

- l'm sorry.

- But it was only a joke.

Come and have a drink with us.

What a shame that l have to leave now,

but my wife will keep you company.

Goodbye.

There is something

that bothers me.

Why did you invite us?

l don't understand.

l will try to get in.

Wait here.

Lambert.

How did this happen?

l was at Dr. Thorrsen's clinic

with Tino.

Tino went in by himself.

He is probably dead.

Someone took a shot at me.

Stop this nonsense.

He is dead, isn't he?

Yes, he is dead.

Come.

Hurry up and come.

lt is terrible.

Someone took a shot at me

with a rifle from the door.

Who are you really?

Don't tell me

that he is your husband.

How do you know?

How do you know?

Do you think l'm an idiot?

You can't play this comedy for me.

Do you have any proof

that l am?

Oh, God,

l have eyes in my head,

that's enough.

You can't pretend with me.

l like you anyway.

You don't like to wait for someone

to ask something of you, do you?

But if you really want

to take it that far,

why don't you stay here?

Now l would like to ask you.

But it will be short and sweet,

- l'm leaving for London at 8:00.

- What? For London?

Wonderful.

So what should l do now

with a dead body in my room?

Don't worry,

l have good friends,

they will help you.

For sure.

Who?

- Not the woman from the clinic?

- No. Not that one.

She is flying to London with me.

Now, why be upset?

Lord Kinsley,

how nice to see you.

And how nice to see you.

We meet much too rarely.

Why don't you come to tea sometime?

And this is Humphrey, my new nurse.

- So when will you come and see us?

- We have a lot of work.

- May l call you?

- Certainly.

l neglected to introduce you

to Walter Forrester.

Nice to meet you, young man.

- Bring him along sometime.

- Thank you, sir, l would enjoy that.

- How is your leg?

- One gets used to it, slowly.

Only the wheelchair

is a little irritating.

- But you look excellent.

- Oh well,

l have nothing else to do

but to take care of myself.

l hope that we will

see each other soon.

- l hope so too.

- Goodbye, Mr. Forrester.

- Goodbye, sir.

- Goodbye.

Who was that?

An old friend of ours,

a multi-millionaire.

He is our patron.

A charming old man,

who made his fortune in lndia.

An interesting friend.

What are you thinking?

This man is one

of the last philanthropists.

Without him, we would have never

been able to set up our clinic.

He was extremely helpful.

He basically supplied us with all

that we needed to build the clinic,

as well as what we still need now.

Yes, yes,

it's healing well.
