"The Maharaja of Tungala has died." "His remains are cremated, according to age-old ceremonial." "Ceylon is in mourning." "But a question arises:" "Who will be the emperor's successor?" "Who will inherit his immense wealth?" "The beautiful, european Maharani remains silent." "Is her reserved expression disguising inner turmoil?" "Her fate depends on the Maharaja's will." "Was their marriage a happy one?" "Monks keep the will in safe custody." "An errand boy takes the will into the Holy-Buddah temple." "There, the will shall be opened." "THE DEATH EYE OF CEYLON" "Ceylon today." "Ten years have passed since the Maharaja's death and since the terrible earthquake." "Efforts in finding the temple and the will were to no avail." "Mysterious enemies thwarted all efforts." "Who'd take an interest in keeping the document lost?" "Who'd want it in their own possession?" "A lot of blood was shed." "It's like the excavation is cursed." "A German scientist is set out to unravel the mystery." "This way, Professor." "May I introduce the representative of the congregation." " It's an honor." "The mayor." " Welcome, Professor!" "This is my daughter, Helga." " How do you do?" "How was the trip?" " I can't complain." "Welcome Professor, I'm Manuel Da Costa." "The Maharani sends her regards." " Thank you." "My daughter Helga." " How do you do?" "Mr. Costa is the Maharani's private secretary." "She's very much interested in archeology." "Her generous support made our efforts possible." "Why do you think Dr. Rinaldi did fail?" "At the moment I could only give you speculations." "I don't want to do my colleague wrong." "What do you think of Dr. Rinaldi as an archeologist?" "I read his work on the excavations in Byblos." "Morning, Dr. Rinaldi!" " His work is very systematic and with lots of imagination." " Some say it's a common Italian trait." "I'm very eager to meet him." " He works obsessively." "Unfortunately he wasn't successful yet." "But I can't comment until I know the difficulties he's facing." "The car's waiting." " Thank you." "Is it true that the treasures in the temple are worth millions?" "Can't say until I've found the temple." "Hey!" "We have to load the ship." "See you tomorrow!" "What's wrong?" "Thank you." " Don't mention it." "It was nice meeting you." "She'd be like home leave." " Don't tell that to your girlfriends." "After you." "The esteemed Professor Ferlach." " Welcome, Professor." "Thank you for meeting me." "You're a man of the highest intellect." "You've been very successful." "You're in possession of a firm mind." "I'm happy for the success you've had in life." "Don't forget, you're now in a foreign world." "Things will happen you couldn't imagine were possible." "I know that some want your demise." "I hope you can stand these tests." "We won't hinder you from finishing your work." "But we'd regret seeing you becoming a tool." "A paid-for subject of infernal passion." "We read into the future." "We saw blood..." "lots of blood." "Is this the result of years-long work?" "Very dubious." "Don't take it the wrong way, but as representative of the government, you told me the excavations have hit a dead end." "Did you mean that literally?" "Where are Mr. Rinaldi's assistants?" "I assume you're Professor Ferlach." "Here are the results so far." "Now it's your turn." "Where are the workers?" " They left when they heard I was leaving." "They'll be back." "They work for anyone." "People here have a different mentality." "But you can handle anything." "Mr. Rinaldi." "I know it feels terrible to be replaced." "But you're mistaken..." "I want you to stay." "I want us to solve the mystery together." "We have totally different approaches." "You use state-of-the-art tools." "But I have no clue about technology." "I acquire my knowledge like a detective." "I study old writings." "I'd be just a hindrance for you." "I think you might like a technician." "It would be an asset for the both of us if we'd complement each other." "The workers trust you." "That's very important." "Would you help me?" "We both have the same goal." "If you mean it..." "I accept your offer." " Thanks, Rinaldi." "That solves our toughest problem." "We have a whole lot to do." ""Do it now or you'll never do it"." "That's a saying here, right?" "Help!" "That's what happens when girls walk into the forest on their own." "What a mad idea..." "The jungle's not a botanical garden!" "Are you hurt?" " I'm not made of steel." "Why don't you shoot that beast?" "I couldn't make a living if I'd shoot it." "I catch animals." "If you go to the zoo, you'll see one of my animals." "How did you get this odd job?" "Well, when you get cheated by humans you turn to animals as friends." "I don't know if you can relate to that." " Yes, I can." "Don't think I'm a dreamer." "I need this battle with untamed nature." "You'll think I'm adventurous, and you'd probably be right." "I ran away from home when I was 14." "My old classmates are probably high ranking civil servants by now." "There's a saying here: "He who sneezes a lot will have many friends."" "People here have all kinds of sayings." "I saw you at the port." "That was a pretty fancy welcome." "My father is looking for an underground temple." "The tele-probe arrives tomorrow." "What's a tele-probe?" " It's some kind of new tool." "It shows you what's in the ground without the need to dig." "I'd like to have a look." "Are you interested in relics?" " I'm more for younger things." "Do me a favor and don't walk into the jungle alone anymore." "I'm not scared." "She said, before getting mauled by a tiger." "Tigers only bite if they're hungry." "And then they prefer the biggest piece." "Or the sweetest." "And then the tiger takes the sweet piece and puts it in a zoo." "That's Sexi." "Don't be afraid." "There's a saying. "If an elephant is near, so is happiness."" "And is there a saying for that too?" "Would you please take me home." "Two scotch and a Ceylon dry." " Right away." "Two scotch and a Ceylon dry." "Original idea..." "Oh, I'm sorry." "I'll get you a new one." "I hope you're not superstitious." "Come in." "So, you're still hanging around." "I thought we said good bye for good." "What can I do, the Professor wants me to stay." "Don't you believe me?" "I believe what you're telling me for years..." "That you'll find the temple." "But leave me alone until then." "Don't be a fool." "Go home." "Come to terms with the fact that you've made a mistake." "Get real!" "What is it you want?" "Please go." "I mean well for you." "It makes me sick." "You want me to throw all my work away, now that it's almost completed." "I found a 4th century manuscript." "I'll have it deciphered in two weeks." "I'm sure it will help me." "Two years ago you also found a manuscript with zero results." "This time it's different." "I only need two more weeks." "Then we'll be rich." "We'll start a new life with the Maharani's reward." "We both can go back to Europe." "What do you have to lose?" "What I have to lose?" "My youth." "Don't think I'm stupid." "I'm no fool." "There's something else going on." " What if?" "I'm accountable to none." "You'll drink yourself to death." "Now get lost, I have a show to do." "Good night." "Did the lovestruck Doc come up with something new?" "As if a fool like him could come up with anything at all." "The Professor asked him for help." "You should be nice to him." "I sent him packing." "That's what you wanted." "He's doing whatever you want." "Don't overstretch it." "We're out for millions and there's no place for feelings." "You talk like you've already got the money." "Don't forget about Rinaldi." "Rinaldi will find the temple before I do." "But on the last few feet I will pass him." "And what will you do if the Professor passes you?" "The Professor relies on his equipment and it has to come first." "Crazy Rinaldi is blinded by ambition." "Therefore I will prevail." "You talk too much about millions." "What are those millions?" "Ancient rubble?" "You won't be able to sell it." "Even if they find a treasure, you'd never get it off this island." "Don't think I'm stupid." "I'm looking for something very specific." "I'm looking for the one thing that will make me rich." "No one will prevent me from leaving Ceylon with my treasure." "You'll see." "They'll be happy if I leave at all." "So you can have what you want." "You can buy women." "I will be rich, yes." " You're mistaken." "You mean we will be rich." "I simply know too much." "Of course." "I'll score a big coup..." "There'll be enough money for the both of us." "I wont be ungrateful." " What if I don't believe you?" "That would be just as unwise as your fling with the animal catcher." "Why do you bring him up?" "That's over for a long time." "I didn't mean anything by it." "I'm not jealous." "See you tomorrow." "Manuel..." "Maybe I'm jealous..." "You're the Maharani's private secretary." "You spend the nights in her house..." "And she's a widow for nine years..." "I think you read too many pulp novels." "If I don't follow this through you'll have to live on Rinaldi's empty talk." "Be happy the way it is." "Without the Maharani I'd be without any influence." "How much longer?" "Until you tell me when Rinaldi finds this damn temple." "Come in." "Professor." " Good morning." "All your equipment was delivered on site." "Dr. Rinaldi brought back the workers." "You can start with your work." " Let's start immediately." "You'll start without your miracle machine?" "He talks about the tele-probe." "I see." "It's on its way to the camp." "I asked my daughter to oversee the transportation." "My work here costs the government a lot of money, so I think it's better if she keeps an eye on the equipment." "Come closer and take a look at those treasures." "The symbol of a happy bond." " How much is it?" "5 rupees a piece." " Make it 4." "13 for all three." " Not cheaper?" "Someone worked for two weeks on these." "No, 10 is not enough." " It's my last offer." "Nice to meet you." "Don't let him fool you." "It's not worth half of that." "I'll get you the rings for 5 rupees." "I already wasted too much time." "I promised to keep an eye on the tele-probe." "What's the worst that could happen?" " Oh, someone could steal it." "It won't fit in any pocket anyways." "No more discussions, you come with me." "The driver is waiting for me." "No gentleman would allow a girl to sit in that kind of truck." "Except if the truck's packed with gold, right?" "I'd have preferred if you had said "Expect when she's in love..."" "We'll tell the driver to go without us and I'll take you later with my jeep." "But I promised father..." "I know the driver." "He'd rather die than let something happen to that box." "Ali!" " Hello Mr. Stone." "Drive ahead, we'll catch up later." " Alright Mr. Stone." "We'll catch up in half an hour." "And now for some drinks." " I'd rather..." "Listen, I can even handle tigers." " But those can be caught with traps." "Morning!" "How are Pünktchen and Anton?" " Sassier by the day." "Who are Pünktchen and Anton?" " A leopard and it's cub." "Her husband caught them and I took a liking to them." "The mother is a wild one." "The equipment arrived on time and your daughter took care of it." "She should be here by now." "My dad is the best dad." "Scientists should bring their daughters along more often." "Especially when they're as pretty." "Isn't that Ali?" "Ali!" "That's strange." "He couldn't just have run off..." "Do you think he had car trouble?" "Let's find out." "He knew how important the load is." "What happened?" " Well, the box is still here." "Do you know how to drive a jeep?" " I guess so." "Follow me." "Excuse me." "No word from my daughter yet?" " I would have let you know." "See, you didn't need to worry." "I hope you didn't rattle up the gears." " I just twisted the stick a bit." "Finally, there you are." "Hello." " I changed the driver on the way." "My name's Larry Stone." "Did you drive carefully?" "That thing's very fragile." "Let's get started." "Would you like to take a look at our baby?" "Something horrible happened." "Someone's really fond of us." "I'm afraid I should have listened to the priest." "We have to find the tele-probe." "Only a handful of people knew about it." "We keep them under surveillance." "There's nothing that can stop them." "Do you suspect someone?" " Not yet." "But the list of the potential thieves is short." "And when I say thief I mean the murderer." "He is a murderer." "Excuse me." "I'm gonna get dressed for tonight." "See you." " I will pick you up at 7." "It's getting serious." "He's seemingly a real prankster." ""If you care for your life, leave immediately or you're a dead man."" "I'm not a crime movie buff but it looks like some sort of mafia is behind this." "Find something out?" "Why dig holes to catch wild animals?" "Because they can't climb steep walls." "Do you know how much the tele-probe weighs?" "400 pounds." "Four men stole it from the truck." "They took it to a different truck..." " But there where no tire tracks." "The footprints of the men ended in the forest." "They hid it somewhere." " So it can be found." "We have to hurry." "You know how fast metal corrodes in this climate." "In two weeks it will be worthless junk." "Let's get going." "What to you want to do?" " Take four capable men and tell them we're on a warpath." "Alright, Old Shatterhand." "Here's to you." " Cheers, your majesty." "I'm happy that you share my interest in our history." "I regret that you had to face some resistance." "Resistance from wich Dr. Rinaldi was fortunately spared of." "You probably thought that my quest for relics was just a fad." "But we are used to get to the bottom of the things that are affecting us." "I hope you don't mind my little speech." "Please forgive me." "Cheers." " Your majesty." "I hear you're German, Professor." "I once was in Germany, too." "Shortly after my marriage." "We went to Munich." "A lovely city." "I beg your pardon, majesty." "Your work can be continued." "I recovered the tele-probe." "I took it to the police station." "With the tele-probe we can examine the ground without digging." "We could find the temple in a few weeks." "Where did you find it?" " I guess one of his elephants took it." "Where was it hidden?" "Why "hidden"?" "Do you know who did it?" "We're all suspects." "Why didn't you tell me?" " I'm hearing it for the first time." "The police investigation was kept secret." "You did me a great favour." "Where did you find it?" " Dr. Rinaldi's assumption was correct." "It was hidden." "In the jungle?" "It was hidden in the bushes, near the dig site." "Unbelievable." " Do you have any clue on the purpose?" "I think there are several purposes." "Someone may object to the Professor's digging." "Some people are sore losers." "Or maybe someone's afraid of what he might find." "Possibly..." "Thank you for pursuing this case." "I think your unusual approach can help the police." "I will continue." "The murderer won't be on the run for long." "But I don't want to intrude any longer." " Why don't you join us?" "I'd love to but I have to take care of my animals." "The leopards become impatient if I don't feed them." "Good bye." "Well?" "Did you take care of the house?" "Don't worry, I'm here." "What's wrong?" "Be quiet." "Yes, you're well-behaved." "You've overeaten again?" "Hermann!" "Where is he?" "Hello?" " Larry?" "I need to talk to you." "What's the matter?" " I can't tell you on the phone." "You can tell everything on the phone." " Believe me, it's important." "I need to see you, even if you hate me." "Pick me up at 12." " Alright." "When a girl's keen on you, she won't let go." "Feed Pünktchen only half a ration from now on." "But..." " Only half from tomorrow on!" "Alright, Tarzan." " One more thing..." "Let's have a drink when I come back." "It's time for bed." "It's the glorification of springtime..." "I should have seen that your father was in deep thought." "Wonderful." "No one will hear us here." "What do you have to tell me?" "Why so repellent?" "Remember that you used to promise me the stars?" ""You want white elephants?" "I will paint them for you", you said." "You were different." "I may be drunk but I haven't forgotten our time together." "Gaby, be reasonable." "It is over." "You're now a woman who belongs to everyone." "People do crazy things when they can't forget someone." "That's all you have to say?" " They want to kill you." "What makes you think that?" " I was at your place today." "I saw the eye on your door." "What does it mean?" " You're doomed to die." "Secret cults mark their victims this way." "I don't believe in that kind of stuff." "You need someone to look after you." "Thanks but I rather take care of myself." "If you think..." "I will show you how much you need me!" "You have to dive if you want your car keys back." "Gaby!" "Cut it out!" "Come back!" "Be reasonable!" "I've never been more reasonable." "Do you come back to me, yes or no?" "So you'll have to walk home." " Stop." "Watch the current." "There are sharks in the water." "Why do you always have to overreact?" "Let me die." "My life's over anyway." "I knew it would end in one of your crazy episodes." "So you don't want me but you also don't want me to die." "Stop it." "But Larry..." " It's over, period." "I can't stand it anymore." "Thanks Manuel." "You had too much to drink." " What can you do?" "It's racking my nerves." "The day of the reading of the will is soon." "You act like something's in the will that could hurt you." "Manuel." " Yes?" "Please don't leave me alone tonight." " It's late already." "I could order you to stay." "You could if I didn't know as much about you as I do." "Good night." "All temples from that era show the same structure." "Two thirds of it are below ground." "I'm certain that the part above ground was demolished in a natural disaster." "So the parts I found are bits of debris of the temple." "Could the underground part still be preserved?" "Yes." "A hurricane for example can only destroy above ground." "Dr. Rinaldi can confirm that the discoverd parts are very solid." "Plus, the walls of the underground part are substantially thicker." "So there's hope that the statues stood the test of time." "Hello?" "My daughter?" "Mr. Stone is in the lobby." "Tell him I'm not here." "Excuse me." "Please tell him that my daughter's not here." "What's going on?" "Well, youth will have its fling." "How long will it take to erect a drill?" "Four to five hours." "I want to set up the tele-probe right in the middle." "How deep are the halls located?" "You just have to multiply the average sedimentation by the presumed age." "It's 25 meters." "We'll repeat drilling every few meters." "If the theory is right we should be able to find the halls or at least one of the secret entrances." "I second that." "I have to look after the drilling equipment." "I'm happy that you agree with me." "Is it alright to report the results to the government?" " Yes." "Good bye." " Good bye." "I feel responsible for the driver's death." "Why would you be responsible?" "Hadn't I arranged the excavations..." "They are ill-fated." "I think the gods aren't in our favour." "They don't want their mystery revealed." "I blame myself." "Should we stop the work?" "I beg for their forgiveness." "My fortune lies in the hands of the gods." "We want the excavations to be continued." "We're confident that the truth will be revealed." "What's going on?" "This site doesn't need archaeologists, it needs policemen." "Here's the explanation." "Again the eye." "Do you know what it means?" "Centuries ago it was a cult's mark of death." "Can't imagine that people today still believe in this hokum." "In our country, these symbols still hold power." "Sometimes they're used by criminals." "Only an insane person would try to shoot someone in broad daylight." "Another surprise?" "Good morning." "The workers have scrammed?" "That's what the death eye can do." "And I'll scram too." "Are you superstitious?" "Problems make things interesting, don't you think?" "I brought other workers." "They won't run off." "Don't be surprised." "I saw what's going on when I drove by this morning." "There are also some of my men." "You can handle it." "I accept your kind offer, Mr. Stone." "Chances are that the gunman who's out for me will learn to aim." "And I'd like to be home by then." " You will." "Why didn't Dr. Rinaldi tell me about the death eye." "He was going to erect the drilling construction, so he had to come here." "Should I call him?" " No, no." "I'm going to need him here." "I don't know how to handle the workers." "I go back to the hotel." " I can take you." "I'd prefer it, so I have the car just in case." "If you need to talk to the workers, the supervisor's name is Pandu." "I tried calling you but you weren't home." " That happens." "Is something bothering you?" " I'm fine." "Alright." "I want to know." "What did I do wrong?" "I didn't know you were Casanova." "The beach scene was rather unambiguous." " I swear that it doesn't mean a thing." "Believe me, I turned her down." "I think... you are incapable of lying." " Thank you." "This was the King's summer residence." "It's thousand years old." "Let's take a look." "67 generations worked on this giant." " Stunning." "There's another monument over there." "Come." "Not bad, huh?" " Who is it?" "Parakramabahu, King of philosophers." "Imagine how bored I will be here without you." "I won't enjoy leaving." " Then it would be best to stay." "That's the elephant grotto." "We'll visit another time." "Isn't that Dr. Rinaldi's car?" "Thanks." "Isn't the Maharani missing you?" "Don't you worry she might look for you?" "There's nothing she can do." "Yes?" "Rinaldi's downstairs." "He wants to talk to me." "Tell him to come up." " Send him up." "Come in." "No "Hello"?" "I saw you at the beach yesterday." "I thought it was over between Stone and you." "I also told you that I'm not your possession." "It'd be a real pity if you did anything foolish." "I actually did it." "I'm on the right track." " You've been a hundred times..." "I will prove it this time." "There is a secret entrance." "And I know where it is." "I was racking my brain when the answer was actually quite easy." "I should have seen that there's no temple in a certain place." "I found it, I swear to you." "In a few days I'll be famous." "We'll be rich." "Even if you doubted me, I..." "I have a show to do." "I'll call you tomorrow morning." "I have to think about it first." "Very interesting." "It's impossible." "But I think he means it." "Go to him after the show and stay with him all the time." "It mustn't slip through our fingers." "It's from the hotel." "Everything's working." "The tele-probe is set up." "I hope to finish soon, if no death eye is interfering." "I ordered police protection." "The site has been closed off." "Did you find policemen who aren't superstitious?" "A message from Rinaldi." "He's not well but he hopes to be there tomorrow." "I'm relieved he's not doing anything foolish." "Ramu, is that you?" "Where was he?" "With that dancer?" "Serve the tea in the salon." "I do think it's excessive but better safe than sorry." "There they are." "Good morning." "No one is here." "The corridor ends exactly where the Professor is digging." "The first underground hall." "Do you still think I'm a dreamer?" "No one will think you're a dreamer anymore." "I found it." "I found the temple." "I knew it." "I found it." "No one believed me." "What treasures will I find?" "I'll hand them over to the government." "No..." "First I'll show them to the Maharani." "No, he doesn't deserve it." "Do you think I'll let you win?" "You're my tool." "A disposable tool." "My calculations were right." "There's hollow space below us." "Could be one of the halls." "Let's switch on the lights." "Take a look." "Da Costa." "I can see Rinaldi and a girl." "Your daughter was right." " My daughter?" "The car at the elephant grotto belonged to Rinaldi." "Maybe there's still time..." "Manuel Da Costa and Dr. Rinaldi." "Arrest both immediately." "Make use of force, if they try to resist." "The Maharani's servant." "The wanted car is on road 71 heading to Colombo." "The car left road 71." "We lost eye contact." "How did you get here?" "Someone placed a bomb in our car." "Are you hurt?" " Nothing serious." "I'm lucky I was sitting in the front." "Is the driver okay?" " Yes." "He went to get help." "I'm here now." "I can take you." "Would you mind taking me to my father?" "What a coincidence that I ran into you." "This changes things." "The car is heading east on road 63." "Let me go!" "Stop." "Did you see a blue roadster?" "Da Costa has left the car." "There are two persons." "The other person is a woman." "That's his certain death." "There's swampland everywhere." "Who's the woman?" " They can't tell from above." "Let me go!" "There's no point in running!" "Help!" "Larry!" "B7 calling headquarters." "We have eye contact." "We can't land in the swamps." "Requesting new instructions." "Come in." "Isn't Ramu back yet?" " Not yet." "Bring me the sapphire necklace." "The Champagne bottle's empty." "You're absent-minded." "You can't push around everyone." "Sadly, I had to kill your loyal servant." "I wouldn't miss this." "It's the will." "Destroy it." "I'm not stupid." "I know now that your servant was out to kill me." "You're imagining things." " You don't fool me." "I read this little document." "Wouldn't you like to know what it says?" "It says that you're a murderer." "That you poisoned your husband." "Your husband left all his fortune to the monks." "You'd have become dirt poor." " That's what I feared." "That's why I was so eager to find the temple." "I knew that the will was in there." "I didn't care for the digging." "The monks always knew a way in." "But those fanatics didn't say one word." "And therefore I made the search a national issue." "Know what?" "I came up with something too." "It wouldn't be half bad if I was in possession of the will." "The jeep's parked in front of the palace." "I killed my husband because he caught us red handed." "Let's destroy the will." " Not so quick." "You stay rich if the will is gone." "How do you plan on showing me your gratitude?" "I'd advise you to be generous." "Since you're a multiple murderer." "That death eye gag was your invention as well." "Rinaldi would have given you the will." "Professor Ferlach was not such a fool." "He surely wouldn't have given you the will." "He'd have done the same thing I did." "Giving it to the government." "You're smart." "How much?" " Half of everything." "Remember, that's generous of me." "If I go to the police, you're done." "Don't try any tricks, I'm in a hurry." "You know I don't have cash." "That's no excuse." "I also take the jewellery." "I'll find a buyer." "Alright." "The necklace is my most valuable belonging." "It's yours." "Plus all my jewellery in the safe." "Take what you want." "You see?" "I'm not trying to trick you." "Excuse our intrusion, majesty." "Mr. Da Costa is a multiple murderer." "We have orders to arrest him." "It must be a mistake." "He's been in my service for ten years." "If I vouch for him?" "I'm sorry but I have orders." "The chief will personally apologize for our intrusion." "I don't need this anymore." "Have an interesting read." "You'll see our elephants again, back home in the circus." "I take Helga to the airport." "Or the plane will take off without you." " It already did." "Excuse me?" "Didn't I tell you?" "My father suggested that I stay a bit longer." "You were right." "Your dad is the best dad." "Now I'll show you a different side of Ceylon." "Hey, blonde chief!" "Take your time." "We'll keep an eye on your menagerie." "Do you think they'll get together?"
