"How far you think you're gonna get?" "Get in." "Coy!" "What's wrong?" "Coy!" "Ethan, Ethan, wake up!" "What happened?" "Where's Coy?" "Look at this." "That's a police boot." "We're getting back." "Go get Coy." "Coy!" "Coy!" "Thanks!" "Get up!" "Who are you?" "Who are you?" "You're one of the Bantons." "I should've known." "I'll personally see to it to get to know what's better." "I'll look to the day." "Inspector Wyntors was a good man and my friend." "His family won't be cheated on to this reward." "I'll take you in to Mantu myself." "Coy Banton!" "Where did you get him?" "He was Wyntors' prisoner." "Two of the bandits ambushed him." "One's dead, the other ran." "You killed one of the Bantons?" "And the rest of the family won't be too far away." "I wanna put him on the riverboat to Kairobi when captain Haze arrives." "He'll be here only till then." "But every moment he's here we're in danger." "They know he has to go to Kairobi." "This is the first place they'll make for!" "What would you have me do?" "Set him free?" "You... you know Abel Banton." "He'll burn this settlement to the ground if he knows we lifted a finger against his son." "You too?" "I'm not a coward, but I need the jungle for living." "If I did anything, my next safari will be my last." "I'm a..." "I'm sorry, Tarzan." "I'd like to help but..." "St. FRANCIS MISSION HOSPITAL and CLINIC" "Tarzan!" "It's good to see you." "Doctor." "Coy Banton." "I want to keep him here until the riverboat from Kairobi arrives." "Where are his fellas?" "His brothers?" "I don't know." "Probably, looking for him." "Are you afraid, too?" "Yes, I'm afraid for my hospital." "These Bantons rob, kill, plunder every settlement in that jungle, and you know it!" "Yet you haven't the courage to keep him here for a few hours." "This is not a matter of courage, my friend." "I have a stronger obligation to my patients, to a people who need this hospital," "who otherwise would die." "No." "I'm sorry, I cannot do it." "I can't understand a man who would rather live in fear than fight it." "No matter what's the cost." "It's just around the bank." "Here we go." "The boat's late." "We've already stayed too long." "My home is your home." "To leave or stay as long as you will." "All of the others were afraid, N'Como." "Why aren't you?" "I'm an old man, Tarzan." "All my life I have lived with death." "Why should I be more afraid now?" "Boat like that, it sure seems the shame." "Once they get Coy aboard that boat for Kairobi, they'll be waiting for us to come after him." "I'm not going to give them that chance." "Get out of our way!" "What rumble was that?" "All of you, listen to me!" "Do as I tell you, and no one will get hurt!" "All of you, get off the boat." "Is that money you want?" "I want nothing of you." "Just get off the boat." "Now!" "Now, just a minute." "You have absolutely no right to come budging on this boat like this." "I won't tell you again." "That's what I'm telling you, that you have killed a man around here." "Do you realize that?" "All right, gentlemen, move on!" "Come on, move it." "Move it, I said!" "Come on!" "Up to the top of the hill." "Come on, come on." "Well, what're you gonna do now?" "Eat me." "Follow the river, it'll kick you to Mantu." "You're gonna have a gun to protect you from the animals with a couple of rounds in it." "No, you take no chances, do you?" "Anybody else's got anything to say?" "" " You..." "" " Take it easy." "You want me to take care of her, pap?" "No, we've got more important things to do." "MANTU STAGING POST" "It looks like they were expecting us." "All of you, listen to me!" "Tarzan has killed one of my sons." "He has my son Coy with him." "He is not here, I tell you." "No, don't be a fool." "No sign of him in the hospital." "He's hiding in the huts." "Coy." "Coy!" "Coy!" "Coy!" "Coy!" "He ain't here." "Anyone of you that helps Tarzan is my enemy, and the enemy of my sons." "Remember that." "Well, then they killed captain Haze." "Without calls or warnings." "It was brutal murder." "Good heavens, if only I could go and grab a gun!" "Of course, they gave me no chance, it would've been suicide to try..." "They wanted nothing from us, only burned the boat." "" " Made no sense." "" " Yes, about that." "It made sense." "I beg your pardon?" "Abel Banton burned that boat to keep it from taking his son to the police in Kairobi." "" " You're Tarzan." "" " Yes." "Captain Haze told us about you." "He said you're an old friend of his." "He was a fine man." "He wasn't like a boss." "He treated me like a friend." "The boat was our home." "You say you're leaving for Kairobi in the morning." "Yes." "How do you go?" "By foot." "Jungle, mountains, swamps, plains a prisoner and 3 men hunting you." "Think you'll make it to Kairobi?" "If I don't, neither will my prisoner." "Could have a better chance with some help." "Get me a gun, and I'll go with you." "The bastards killed my best friend." "I owe him something." "All right." "Oh, look, I was in Burma during the war." "Infantry, jungle warfare, you know." "I'd give anything to help to get to these Bantons, and I could be a great help to you." "You can also slow me down." "It might interest you to know that I was going to Kairobi to arrange the finances of the building of a new dam." "Now if I do, that's gonna mean a lot of work for great number of people and prosperity." "But if I don't make it by the end of this week, there won't be a dam." "" " Then I can't refuse." "" " Yes." "And my wife goes as well, of course." "" " She can get to next boat." "" " When would that be?" "3 weeks, maybe 4." "It's hard to tell." "I'm not staying in this hole for 3 weeks." "Clever idea." "If she doesn't go, I don't go." "" " You leave me little choice." "" " Thank you very much." "Look eh..." "I have to attend an interview in Kairobi." "I'm afraid I can't tell you just how important it is for me to keep that appointment." "And If I'm not there in time..." "Let me go with you, I'll carry my own weight." "If you don't, I'll have to try to get there by myself anyway." "You'll have company because I'm not staying here alone." "I wouldn't take any of you except for him, but if his going means work for many men, then I must take him, and his wife." "With so many two more means little." "But this is no game." "It'll be hard, and it could mean death." "As long as you understand that." "Oh yes, we do." "Take only what you need." "We'll leave at the sun." "For enough money you'll be able to buy the rifles." "For enough money you'll even be able to buy his fears of the Bantons." "You have 2 hours to change your minds." "I won't." "Come on, dear." "Captain Haze is dead?" "Yes." "I leave in the morning for Kairobi with Banton." "Will you take care of Cheetah until I return?" "This I will do." "Thank you, old friend." "I'll get a few hours of rest." "Thanks." "Thank you." "I'll take her if you don't mind." "He was only trying to help me." "Yes, dear, but I'm here." "If you want any help, you just walk ahead." "Thank you." "The Bantons would hear that 5 miles away." "A gun kills but it also tells your enemies where you are." "" " Can I...?" "" " No, thanks." "A little wine to wash this can, a man couldn't ask for more." "You seem to be satisfied with very little in life, my friend." "Perhaps." "It's just a way of avoiding disappointment." "Oh, dear." "It's sad world if we all felt that way about things in it." "Only if the state of the world are men like you, Mr. Ames." "How do you feel about things like that, Mr. Ames?" "Man lives one life, it's up to him to do something with it." "Like what?" "The world measures everything by success." "I believe in success." "What do you call "success"?" "Money?" "Well if a man sets out to make money, then I call money success." "A scientist and a teacher..." "Look, if the man reaches the top, it is the best." "Then is a success." "That's why our friend here is a failure." "You see, he's caught." "Are you saying that unless the man is the best in his field, he's a failure?" "Well, let us put it this way." "If you're not first, you're second, and being second-rate is not being a success." "By that standard most of us in this world are failures." "That's right." "Don't take it to heart, Mr. Conway, my husband sets a very high standard for himself." "And others." "We leave again with the sun." "I suggest you get some sleep." "Where's Tarzan taking my brother?" "I don't know." "" " You'll tell us all!" "" " I said I don't know." "Step aside, Johnny." "He asked you a question, doctor." "What's gonna be?" "Do we have to shoot you and your patients?" "They left this morning on foot for Kairobi." "" " Ames." "" " Huh?" "Wake up." "Wake up." "Wake up." "" " What?" "" " There's something out there." "What?" "There's something out there." "Go out to see what it is." "Go out to see what it is." "Why me?" "That's it..." "" " Who is that?" "" " You're the only one here..." "You're the #1 man, you're Mr. Success." "Now, go on!" "" " Yes..." "" " Yes, go on." "" " Yes." "" " Take your gun." "Your gun." "What?" "That's it." "Now, go ahead." "Go ahead." "I could've um..." "I could've fired..." "Go back." "Yes." "Uhm..." "I'd be obliged if you wouldn't tell the others about this." "What's that?" "What are they drumming for?" "He is telling Tarzan they recognized Banton as one of the men who raided their village a few months ago, stole their harvest, and killed one of the warriors." "He says he's heard of Tarzan, and admires and respects him, but they cannot let Banton go." "Only their chief can do this." "He is taking us there." "Tate has already told you." "I'm doing this not only because war is a good thing, but because of the reward for him." "But surely, if it's just a matter of the reward, let them have him." "No, it's for inspector Wyntors's wife and children." "I may not succeed, but I shall try." "Oh, just a minute." "Have we got any say?" "Yeah." "I'm gonna watch your guns!" "What are they doing?" "They say Coy Banton is one of the men who killed his brother." "...is much white to bestow white man's law." "The chief's wife is heavy with child." "All of their other children have died at birth." "The chief is afraid this one, too, will die like the others." "Tell the chief I think I might be able to help." "If he likes, I'll take a look at her." "He said he would be grateful for anything you can do for the child." "The head man will take you to her." "Don't be ridiculous, what are you gonna do?" "What are you trying to do?" "This is a doctor's job!" "I was a doctor once." "That's..." "That's ridiculous." "She's having a breech birth." "Unless there's a complication, there shouldn't be any trouble." "It was just that she'd never had anyone to help her before." "How will you..." "The Basai code of justice can give us a life for a life." "The chief has just promised me that if you save the life of the child, he will let me take Coy Banton back with me." "I'll do what I can." "What did he say?" "Nothing." "Do what you have to do." "I'll tell you what he said." "He said, since Tarzan asked a life for life, he will ask the same for Coy Banton and Tarzan, if anything should happen to his wife." "Tarzan has offered his own life in exchange." "Look, I told you." "There..." "there could be complications." "I heard you." "I'll help you." "We'll leave the boat here in the morning and head inland." "They cannot get very far." "I figured, from here to Kairobi is about 65 miles." "That's a lot of jungle to cover." "Not as much as you think." "Tarzan isn't in the follow of the river, that'll take him 50 miles out of his way." "He's got to cross my way in Mansan." "Impassable swamp to the left and mountains to the right, that cuts him down a lot." "Not enough, it's a 20 miles strip." "A man could take an army through there, and no one would see him." "You're both forgetting one thing:" "Coy!" "He may have slipped down once, but no man's big enough to bring him in, not even Tarzan." "He'll find a way to let us know where he is." "Okay." "Give me the scissors." "Did you say you were a doctor?" "You still are, my friend." "No sign of them." "They'll be coming through that strip." "Tarzan was raised out there in that brush." "What makes you so sure that Coy can outsmart him?" "He will." "He is human." "He can fail." "Coy wouldn't have failed if he'd been there with Ethan, and Ethan would still be alive." "Are you blaming me?" "No." "I'm saying that Tarzan would be dead instead of Ethan, if Coy had been there." "No, I'm not belittling you, but you're not Coy." "No one is." "Except you." "I was able to keep you alive because I can outsmart, not fight the law." "I don't underestimate myself." "So, why don't we quit now?" "We have a 100,000 in a bag." "We'll talk about quitting when we get Coy back." "Well, let's talk about it now, supposing we don't get Coy back." "Supposing Tarzan gets him to Kairobi, and they hang him." "Don't ever say that again!" "Do you hear me?" "Yeah." "I hear you." "Don't forget it." "" " You're all right?" "" " Just barely alive." "Do you call this being "alive"?" "Snake!" "Behind you!" "Shoot it!" "You've just told the Bantons where we are." "I told you he'd find a way!" "Hey, we've rested... we've rested once in this morning." "We've got to stop." "Those shots the Bantons fired will let them head on our way." "They're not sleeping, and neither are we." "" " What did you...?" "" " I'm tired." "Come on, we've all gotta walk." "Leave me alone, I've got to rest." "Why should you be the only exception?" "Come on, get up!" "She said she's too tired to go on." "Keep still, you fool." "I wish that was the ape man she had by the neck." "Well, you've got yourself quite a bunch." "Don't expect help from anyone of them." "Tate... maybe." "Conway... soft." "And Ames..." "Now this one is a draw, too." "He talks like he's been..." "He's got to be the big man and everything." "Just got one trouble: yellow." "Oh, he fights, but he's just plain yellow." "You know I'm right." "I'll tell you something else." "His wife knows it." "Let me tell you something, Banton." "That's why he fights it." "They've done all the work for us." "It won't all be this easy, I promise you that." "I've tangled with him once." "You just wait." "Don't tell me you're scared of him." "I'm not scared of any man." "We'll see." "Tarzan!" "Look out there in the mountain's slope!" "The timberline." "Wheel glasses." "Must be the Bantons!" "They're close." "Closer than I thought." "They must be able to see us right now." "But what have we got to do?" "Stay here and fight it out?" "That's what they'd like." "Then all they have to do is to sit back and wait until we run out of food and water." "But what about him?" "We can use him as a hostage." "Are you ready to kill him if Abel Banton calls it your bluff?" "I'll kill him before I turn him back." "Well, I'll be the one who decides." "You three are fools to stick with Tarzan, you haven't got a chance." "They'll catch up to us pretty soon now." "You've only one out: turn me free." "You don't know how to count, do you?" "We're three against one." "Make up your minds." "Two against two." "Three." "Well, that made up your mind for you, Ames." "Number four." "Some day you're gonna pay for that, Ames." "Move!" "I didn't know what a hero you were." "Past the ridge to the left." "What about the others with him?" "The more he's got, the more he's held back." "Just means a bigger target." "I hope you're right." "Tarzan has to keep moving." "We can choose our spots." "That's how we planned." "Those two women will slow them up." "I'll take the blond." "I don't care what you do once we get Coy." "That's the safe way through those hills." "Southwest's the way the Bantons will think we're going." "The other way is to follow the river." "If we get through, that'll put us half a day ahead of them." "Enough time to reach Kairobi." "You say "if we can get through"..." "There's quicksand." "I think I know the way, but..." "other people had thought so, and they've never returned." "What makes you so sure that Bantons are gonna think that we've gone through the hills?" "We'll fix a trail and make them think so." "Oh, to get the sooner the safer, this sure is the gamble." "You give us any choice?" "No." "Watch him." "You're all right, dear?" "If I weren't, could you do anything about it?" "Good heavens, can't we even talk anymore?" "What do we talk about?" "What a success you've made with your life?" "Must we wash our dirty linen in public?" "Makes no difference to me." "You got a match?" "Drop that!" "Go ahead." "You haven't got guts enough to kill anybody." "Drop it, Ames." "Tell him to stay away from my wife." "It would seem the other way around." "Your troubles are your own." "Settle them in Kairobi or leave us." "I won't tell you again." "The swamps will cover our trail." "Leave nothing here to show we were here." "Get rid of that cigarette." "Come on, you heard what he said." "Stay close behind one another." "One step and you're on a quicksand." "Let's go." "How are you doing?" "I think my feet are wet." "Martin!" "Come here." "You can still smell a perfume." "Well, they went through the hills, look there." "If they did, we can still see them." "No." "They went through the swamp." "They'll never get out of that bioknife with that bunch of this slow down little crowd." "And we can catch them in the swamp." "Maybe that Tarzan has outsmarted himself." "Come on, Martin." "I bet this one belongs to the brunette." "When this gonna end?" "With the quicksand in the jungles." "You're all right?" "Drop your hands off me!" "I don't need your help!" "What did I tell ya?" "You don't seem so sure now." "What's the matter?" "We'll keep moving." "Here." "You carry this." "I'll carry you." "I haven't been carried like this since I was 5 years old." "If I get too heavy, just toss me aside." "No, I wouldn't worry about that." "Worried about something?" "What're you looking for?" "You're so sure they're going to follow us?" "Did you just see anything?" "No, but we'll go on." "Oh no." "I can't." "I'd like to, but it's impossible." "Yeah, yeah." "I think that goes for all of us, too." "I can't leave you here." "You know my choice, I'll give you yours." "We'll stay here for the night." "A fresh print." "What's the matter?" "I don't know." "I can't explain." "We've rested long enough." "Let's go." "Just a bit of..." "Do you think that we could..." "Get up!" "Quick!" "Take your guns!" "No shooting!" "I'll be faster." "I've really got spent out." "All of ya!" "Not any chance but to send Coy out." "My fight's with Tarzan." "Hurt my son, and I'll butcher everyone of you." "Go back and get the others out of the clearing." "Follow the path to the river." "I'll catch up with you later." "Okay." "Martin!" "Johnny!" "Coy!" "Hold your fire!" "I've got Tarzan!" "Never mind, I'm all right." "Let's get to Coy." "Over here!" "Martin!" "Martin!" "I'm all right." "Leave me alone." "Leave me alone, I'm all right!" "Quicksand, Banton." "Make sound and you go under." "Ames, put that stand there." "Give me your hand." "Let's go." "I'm sickling!" "Hold on to me." "Hold on to me." "Is he any better now?" "The bullet collapsed his lung." "He's hemorraging internally." "I don't know how he'll settle this one." "You see, I just don't understand." "I just don't understand." "I treated him like dirt." "Why did he do it?" "Why did he help me?" "No one asked him to help me, no one made him help me." "He did it because you were a human being." "A little late for your conscience to start bothering you." "Yes, you never will let me understand you, will you?" "I had hoped after all we'd gone through, the things might have change a little." "They have." "And when we get back, I'm leaving you." "I had few illusions about you when we started, but you finished what I had." "Look, dear." "We both had our faults." "I'm perfectly willing to give our marriage another try." "I'm not talking about our marriage, I'm talking about you!" "Your foul head, your big talk, all that rubbish you've been giving about action in Burma." "The only action you ever saw was behind the desk in Rangun!" "Does this give you pleasure?" "Does this give you pleasure making me look foolish in front of the rest of these people, you madam?" "First, I do exagerate, I hate to, but that's what I am!" "Look!" "Would you mind doing your quarreling somewhere else?" "I knew who's the head of this as well." "You take the whole set lot of you, and stay out of it!" "Tate's not interested anymore." "He's dead." "What?" "Hello." "Hello, baby." "What are you doing here?" "What are you doing all by yourself, huh?" "You lost your mother?" "O don't you have one?" "Come on." "I guess your world is as bad as mine." "Poor baby." "Such big sad eyes." "Save a little for me, honey." "Take it easy." "No one's gonna hurt ya." "Tarzan!" "Tarzan!" "Watch him!" "Come on!" "Give me a hug!" "Oh, no, no, no." "Take it easy." "My son." "My youngest son." "At least they'd buried him." "He wasn't 21 yet." "Just a boy." "You're old hypocrite." "Johnny was never a boy." "He never had a chance, like the rest of us." "Shut up!" "You turned us into murderers by the time we were 16." "You trained us to cheat, lie, steal, kill." "What did you expect?" "I told you to shut up!" "That's the last time you ever do that to me." "Where do you think you're going?" "I don't know and I don't care, just as long as I'm away from you!" "You're not going anywhere, you're going to stick with me till we get Coy back." "Coy?" "I'm sick to death of hearing Coy's name." "I'll tell you what you can do." "You give my share of the money to Coy." "Come back, you fool!" "You'll never get through that swamp again alive." "Martin!" "Tomorrow you'll sleep in Kairobi." "Maybe." "This is the end of the line for all of us." "A couple times there I..." "never thought we'd make it." "Like a man being safe from the fire and expecting to be burnt in." "It's all a miracle that changes your life." "What's the matter?" "What's the matter?" "Your wife and Banton have gone." "What do you mean "gone"?" "He's taken your rifle." "There's only one way they could have gone, away from Kairobi, where they can meet his father." "If I don't return by morning, the way to Kairobi is east." "There's little to fear from here." "Yeah, but I'll go with you." "This time I go alone." "She wouldn't dare leave me." "She wouldn't dare leave me." "Coy, I can't keep up with you." "I've got to rest." "You can't rest here." "Is that all you have to say to me?" "Huh?" "What do you want me to say?" "Thanks?" "Thanks." "Now, come on!" "Exactly where we're going?" "I can promise you one thing:" "it isn't Buckhingham palace." "Well, I wouldn't worry about it." "Something else..." "You're not talking to your husband now." "Understand?" "Come in." "Makes no difference to you?" "No difference at all." "This way, son!" "I knew you'd get away, son!" "I knew you'd made it!" "Won't be long now." "He's so anxious, he's getting care of us!" "He's back there." "He's just but a friend!" "That suits me fine." "We'll be waiting for him." "You take the left bank, I'll take the right." "This is Coy Banton." "He is wanted for murder." "This is as far as I go." "Would you see that inspector Wyntors's family receives his reward?" "Yes, sure." "Now, would you see that the mining company gets its money back?" "The police car will take you into Kairobi." "Oh well..." "From one jungle into another..." "Maybe his jungle is the best, huh?" "THE END" "Subtitles by: andrsib"
