Yes, sir

How many midterms did we grade?

112.

Cindy, you've got to start making your classes less popular.

I'll see you on Monday.

And don't forget, we have the symposium first thing. Right.

Good morning, Sidney.

Morning, Claudia.

The timeline chart on the year dynasty you requested, the research on

irrigation methods, your expense reports, the mail, your calls.

And might I mention, what a lovely outfit that is you're wearing.

Your annual evaluation.

What? It's coming up, isn't it? Is it?

Ancient studies.

It's Nigel.

We have a symposium. Where is he? You have a symposium. Where are you?

New Guinea. New Guinea?

Nigel, what's going on?

Nigel?

Hello, Sydney.

Who is this?

An old friend.

Lloyd?

Is this Derek Lloyd?

What have you done with Nigel? Oh, he's fine for now.

In your top drawer, you will find U .S. government satellite photos of the Okora

Forest Preserve in New Guinea. Okay.

And a village.

A village that may belong to people who are believed to be extinct.

Oh, yes, Sidney. The possibilities are amazing, aren't they? I want to talk to

Nigel.

Sure.

He's staying at the Melendo Hotel in Kala.

We'll expect you within 48 hours.

I'm Timo Batter from the Ministry of the Interior. I must speak with Miss Sidney

Fox immediately.

Just a moment, sir.

I'm sorry, she hasn't checked in yet.

Look, have someone contact me as soon as she arrives.

Thanks.

It's not like this. Where is he? Would you have come on your own? Where is no

dog? Would you have come on your own? No!

Of course not.

You smell great.

Hey,

Derek, look what I got for us.

Sidney, what have you done to him?

Maybe we're right.

Yes.

I thought you were being held hostage.

Show her the pictures.

Okay.

Sidney?

Look at these.

Huts. A Bronze Age burial cavern.

There are people in this one.

The lost tribe of Kainomata?

Supposed to be extinct.

They were destroyed by a volcano thousands of years ago.

What if they weren't? What if they fled in time, migrated here to New Guinea?

A Bronze Age people untouched by the modern world.

Don't tell me the USGI is doing social studies now. I was loaned out to the

United Nations Department of Cultural Affairs, Sidney.

Simple as that.

Travel inside the Ikora Forest is prohibited.

The local government, at my urging, agreed to allow one expert to come along

confirm that the Kainomata exist.

My friend, Sidney Fox.

Okay. We have to get to the Ministry of Interior to get our travel papers.

Nigel, now's our chance. Get out of here.

Do we really want to do that?

Has it occurred to you that you might be suffering from Stockholm Syndrome?

Why, the captive suddenly bonds with the captor. And forget that the captor is

an unprincipled USGI agent.

Maybe he's real this time. I saw the photos.

Those could have been doctors. Maybe.

What if they're not?

What there really is a lost civilization.

Let's go!

Fine.

Yes?

Mr. Bedour.

May I introduce... I know who they are.

Mr. Berdour does not approve of the expedition.

The Okora Preserve is a national treasure.

Travel is strictly prohibited.

An exception has been made for the venerated Sydney Forest.

I assure you... If these people exist, they are untouched by the modern world.

Their integrity must be preserved.

Of course. If you find the Kainomata, you will document them, and then you

leave the Okora Forest immediately.

Your escort will make sure that you do.

Escort? The government representative who will accompany you. The fewer people

that come along, the less chance of contaminating the tribe with outside

influences, Mr. Bedour.

The government representative goes, or you do not.

He will meet you at the play.

That brings a whole new meaning to economy, doesn't it?

Hello, Miss Fox.

My name is Timo Bata.

I'm your government escort for the journey.

How much further to the airstrip, Timo?

That's a roger, Towler. We will keep you informed over and out.

Kidnapping Nigel was the only way.

You realize that?

And why would I realize that, Derek?

There you go again, Sidney.

Always making things so complicated.

You know what? You're right. Maybe I should keep it simpler.

Kidnap someone's assistant to get them to work with me.

We had quite the adventure once, Sidney.

What do you say we put things behind us?

Approaching drop zone.

What do you mean, drop zone?

Time.

What do you mean, time?

I thought you said the parachutes were just a precaution. And you believed him?

That information was on need -to -know protocol.

Telling you any earlier would have just needlessly upset you, my friend.

I'm upset now. I'm very upset.

Coming on final.

You can do this, Nigel.

As soon as you clear the door, hold this report here.

Hold the drop zone.

Mark.

I don't think I can do this.

Yes, you can.

I don't think I can.

Missed his mark.

He drifted east.

Guess you were out the day they taught survival packing.

It's okay.

I can handle it.

You ever drop the hard -ass act?

Don't tell me. Need to know protocol?

You should find your friend.

It's okay.

Careful,

you might sprain an ankle.

How's the teaching going?

Pretty good.

Busy. Yeah, between classes, exams, research.

It's hard to find free time for yourself.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

You do?

Yeah.

And just what do you do in your free time?

I, uh, I have hobbies.

And Derek Lloyd has hobbies?

Yes. What do you do? Build model airplanes and blow them up?

I collect stamps.

What? I collect stamps.

You collect stamps?

Yes, I collect stamps. Is there something wrong with that?

No. No.

Nothing at all.

Being a government observer is quite interesting work.

All that observing.

Not a lot of time to talk, eh?

Not a lot.

What is it?

I'm not sure.

Some kind of kyanomata ritualistic symbol.

Maybe to mark out their territory.

Say we camp for the night.

Much better with a bullet.

And a firing pin.

No!

What's going on? Who's shooting?

It's okay.

I see him!

Don't let him get away!

His own government sanctioned this expedition. Why would Timo try and kill

I guess someone doesn't want us finding the kind of water.

The guy in the government office?

No, he could have simply denied his authorization.

He's got a battery factory in here. Double A's, triple A's, flashlights.

Strobe light.

Who brings a strobe light into the jungle?

Someone with a real thing for a disco.

CDs?

Timo didn't strike me as the grooving to the...

Music on the Discman kind of guy.

Does this make any sense to you?

No.

You know what really scares me right now?

For the first time, I believe you.

Stop! What is it?

These talismans.

You said they were here to mark territory.

No, these are more specific.

They're part of Kaino Mata law.

They represent guardians, a warning to anyone who's about to enter her sacred

territory. So I guess there's more guarding this area than just these

Be back.

How's the view?

Not bad.

Sidney! Derek!

Are you all right?

We're just fine.

Just fine.

Nigel!

There's some kind of tunnel down here with tribal markings on it. What do they

look like?

Timber. Wooden beams with tribal carvings.

You should bring your camera down here. We need some shots of it.

Yeah, get some good close -ups on the carvings on the supports.

You know, by the looks of those beams, the structure of it could have been some

sort of mine.

What, copper?

Possibly. The kind of metal we're renowned for their use of bronze.

The rolls are misdone.

I'll get you another one.

Okay, it's in the pouch on the side of my pack.

Okay.

Hey, Lloyd.

Lloyd.

Lloyd.

What's wrong?

Lloyd's not here.

with a sniper's rifle.

What's going on?

Let go of me!

Let me explain.

What, so you can lie again?

What are you doing?

Everything he's told us about the expedition's a lie, Nigel.

Is that true?

Not everything.

No.

Hey, hey.

Here.

Jonathan Quelch.

Doesn't sound like an indigenous name.

He was a US GI agent sent in to investigate the possible presence of

missile silos.

But he disappeared.

Quilts never found the missiles, but he did find the Kainomata and appointed

himself their king.

I came out to tell you today.

If you think I'm going to let you just take this guy Quelch out, do you know

what that's going to do to the tribe?

I got my order, Sidney.

Okay?

Quelch, you made a mess.

I'm here to clean it up.

You can stay with me or you can go on your own, Sidney.

That's your choice.

Stay calm, Nigel. Where are they taking us?

Please, forgive Mudo the ramblings of a condemned man.

You didn't happen to bring the batteries, did you?

Never mind.

We'll send someone for them later.

You'll never pull this off, Quelch.

Pull it off.

I've already pulled it off.

In fact, if you'll excuse the bad analogy, I've pulled the blanket off

whole little world.

You know, there's something quite beautiful about this place.

Do you know what I mean?

I could feel it as soon as I got here.

Yeah.

I mean, you spend your whole life sleeping thinking you're alive.

And then you come to a place like this.

Paradise.

My palace just waiting for someone to create.

For someone to mold it, to shape it.

It called to me.

Quietly at first.

Now it's quite comfortable.

You know they'll just send someone else.

Come.

Each will be dealt with in time.

As will each of you.

There's got to be some way out of here.

This is the only way out through this door.

How with him watching us?

There's got to be an escape.

Some way. There is no escape for any of us.

You speak English.

Yes. What did Quelch mean when he said we'd be dealt with?

He knows you come here.

He plans big human... That... That key...

That... Sacrifice.

Human sacrifice.

How did you learn to speak English?

When Quash comes to village, he teaches me and others.

We think he help us.

But Quash does bad.

Has pleasure with women if they want or not.

Kills people who do not obey him.

People like you.

I try.

And I try.

to turn Kaino Mata against Welsh.

But he is protected by gods.

He has magical powers.

Magical powers?

Boxes that shout sticks of light.

He gives our treasures to men who bring him his magic.

Boxes that shout?

The CDs in Timo's pack?

Walsh rules with a boombox?

Sticks of light.

Flashlights. Which explain the electronics store in Timo's pack.

He was Walsh's supplier.

As well as running interference for anyone that came after him. Walsh has to

stopped, Fitney.

Stop, not shot.

What do you have in mind?

I don't know yet.

Sit in. What?

What are you doing?

Slow, Nigel. Slow.

Ah.

Like this, huh?

Fine Swiss engineering.

Yeah, come take a look.

You can have it.

Come get it.

There you go.

Sorry, buddy.

What now?

Well, I couldn't very well use this while he was watching, but...

Good.

Okay.

You too.

That's supposed to be us.

Fourth of July

fireworks. You see?

Gosh, that's magical fire.

No, Mudo, that's not magic.

Those are an amusement for celebrations where we come from many people have

them.

The mantle that Welch is wearing is a symbol of kinematic kingship.

Tribal leaders will have wielded it for thousands of years.

It won't stop me from taking Welch out if I find my rifle.

Lloyd, I think this tribe has seen enough killing.

He's got a point, didn't he? With those bodyguards of his around, we'll never

even get close to him. I know.

What now?

I'm...

Bludos.

What?

Bludos.

We don't understand.

I not have word.

Under where we walk.

The tunnels.

Yes, of course.

The tunnel out in the forest.

It wasn't a mine.

It was part of some primitive escape system. There must be a whole network of

tunnels running underneath the village.

If we can find another entrance, we might be able to surprise Quelch. Let's

it.

This must be where the ancient tribesmen buried their weapons.

The ancient tribesmen didn't hide these.

Quelch's magical powers.

But who's to say Quelch is the only god in town with magical powers?

Perfect.

Time to give the Kainomata back to the Kainomata.

Search

the

hut. Take my Benin.

You are not king of our people.

Holy kai no mata. Rule kai no mata.

And just when it looked like Mudo was about to be defeated by Quelch... Sidney

and Derek saved him while you hid.

I did not hide. I played an integral part in defeating Quelch and saving the

Kynomata. By lighting a couple of sparklers. Uh -huh. They were not

There were some very dangerous explosives within those fireworks.

The only fireworks I'm interested in are the ones between Sidney and Lloyd.

Come on, Sid, give.

Anything happen between you and Secret Agent Man?

Sorry to disappoint you, Claudia, but Lloyd is not my type.

Looks like I left my keys in the office.

I'll get them for you.

As a little thank you.

Thank you for what? For the glowing evaluation that you gave me.

You filled out that form and signed my name to it?

Well, you were going to miss the due date.

And I know how important you consider punctuality to be.

Go ahead. I'll see you on Monday.

Did I tell you about that...

Near -death experience I had when my parachute didn't open.

Well...

It is incumbent on me to extend an apology for all the

deception I have put you through.

Over dinner.

I'm sorry, Lloyd. Personal policy. No socializing with underhanded espionage

agents.

Well, perhaps I may convince you to reverse that policy.

Baby doll, what's up with you and me?

You can be my baby doll.

At the moon, she slept enough of golden skin. My heart pumped with the passion

that I fell with it. I'm cold, wet with sweat. We get closer than you can get. I

was a couple before we had to get. I was out in Illinois, so they came to the

store. So damn fine that I had to let it go.
