to the jungle.
While you're smoking a cigar,
they can eat a full-grown bullock,
right down to the naked bone!
They'll pick this plantation clean
- and you with it.
- I'm staying,
if I can only hold enough ground
to stand on.
They won't give you that much.
Not an inch.
No one has ever stopped them
and a lot of men have tried.
Don't be a fool, Leiningen!
Get out!
Get out while you can!
While there's still time!
Leiningen, don't be a fool!
Don't be a fool, Leiningen!
You are not good man, Leiningen!
This plantation is no good, Leiningen!
Leiningen inyete apichune.
Leiningen ei inyete apichune.
Koko biefono agarrito waikimie...
- What is he saying?
- He say, Leiningen not afraid.
Leiningen's woman not afraid.
Mero-o-renyo hito,
monoki, marabunta bi.
Now the ants come.
Omei petine omei onepei!
Assikumo!
He say, if you want to go,
go, then.
Back to the jungle.
Live like your fathers,
hunt each other for heads
or stay here with Leiningen
and be brave,
like Leiningen's woman.
Will your men stay?
They'll stay tonight
because they're ashamed.
They'll stay tomorrow
because they have to.
I wish you hadn't done that.
So do I.
It's done. We're locked in here.
Now we fight.
Huri, go up the tree there.
Satoro, go to the dam.
Sororo, go there.
Quabasa, go high up in that tree.
Be sure and cut down
every branch hanging over the moat.
Do you think this moat will stop them?
Ants are strictly land creatures.
They can't swim. Right, Incacha?
Monkeys not swim also.
The intelligence of monkeys
is more than ants and less than man.
Is so. But when ants come,
monkeys run.
If they cross the moat,
we'll fire this brush to protect us.
Get everybody inside the moat.
Post lookouts in the trees.
Christopher?
Come in. You might as well see this.
Caught him this afternoon.
He's an advance scout of some kind.
Handsome devil, isn't he?
I've been studying him all evening.
The face of my enemy.
Who knows?
Perhaps he's been studying me.
Even alone they look frightening.
Well, where they go,
no life is left but their own.
That's what we're up against.
If I were a sensible man, Joanna,
what would I do?
Fight or run?
You have to fight.
A man like you doesn't run.
In any case,
you're not a sensible man.
You wouldn't have chosen a wife
by mail if you were.
I'm beginning to think the only
sensible thing I ever did
was send for you.
Why do you say that now?
Maybe because it's too late.
The ants are advancing through
the cocoa plantation!
The ants are advancing through
the cocoa plantation!
Men, what is the matter?
Marabunta!
Upriver at cocoa fields.
What is it, the ants?
They're on their way.
About ten miles from here.
Get my horse.
Bring me some fresh cigars.
They're headed this way, all right.
They travel about 6 miles a day.
They'll get here
early tomorrow morning.
Keep the men here.
Fire a shot if you need me.
I'll be at the dam.
I want you to stay
Sure, sure, till marabunta die.
Watch for them every minute.
They're quick.
An ordinary man wouldn't last long,
not enough meat.
You'd last about half an hour,
so keep your eyes open.
And listen for our signals,
we may want to flood them out.
Okima, from the cocoa field.
Marabunta catch him.
Signal the man at the dam
to let in more water.
Open all the gates, tell him.
As long as it's deep, we're safe.
Take the body back to the village.
You were right about that piano.
It's much better when it's played.
It needs tuning.
Tell me about women.
Where shall I begin?
Anywhere. I find
the subject interesting.
Well, there's very little to tell, really.
There are men and there are women.
They're like, oh, spoons.
If they are alike,
Tell me about spoons.
I do believe you're developing
a sense of humor.
More than that, Joanna.
Christopher.
Christopher, please...
...are you sure?
You're my wife, Joanna.
Marabunta! They're coming across
on leaves!
Come on!
Sound the alarm.
They're trying to cross.
Signal the dam, more water.
My eyes! My eyes!
We need more water.
Kill the ants!
- Something's gone wrong at the dam.
- Oh!
Fire the signal to retreat.
- Come on!
- Bring the oil!
Hurry up!
Christopher!
Christopher!
Mayi. Mayi, Mr. Leiningen.
Where is Mr. Leiningen?
Christopher.
Why didn't you awaken me?
There was no reason to.
But the house.
What have you done to
the house, the furniture?
Burned.
Gone. Nothing left.
Except our friend here.
I built this place out of my own will.
Like an Indian makes
a doll out of clay.
Now I've destroyed it the same way.
Took me 15 years
to build my paradise.
Three days to turn it into hell.
I wanted wife and children
to hold what I built.
Here's my heir.
- You've given up.
- No, I've been beaten.
There's a difference.
I've lost everything.
Everything but you...
...and in a little while,
maybe that too.
For whatever it's worth to you,
now that I have nothing else to give...
...I love you.
That's all I've ever wanted.
We'll start from here.
This is where we meet, Christopher.
The ants are still out there...
...and we've nothing else to burn.
Do you know how to use this?
- Yes.
- Keep it with you, every minute.
What for?
For yourself,
in case the ants get through.
What about you?
What are you going to do?
Up there.
We're completely surrounded.
Here's our one chance to stay alive,
if I can blow it up.
It's a small dam with sluices.
They keep back the river
It's up now, 2 or 3 feet.
That's enough.
Enough for what?
To flood what's left of my plantation.
I'm giving back everything
I took from the river.
This oil will give me some protection.
- Open the gate.
- Open the gate!
Here comes the water!
Open the gate. Open the gate!
The water has gone.
They are opening the gates.
Christopher!
Christopher!
Christopher!
