All language subtitles for Five Came Back 1939 Cult Classic

We've got
plenty of time.

Well,
we made it, sir.

Yes, thanks.
We're very grateful.

I'll have to get
some change.

You can keep the change
on one condition.

Anything but
murder, mister.

If anybody asks
for us...

You've never seen us,
and you never brought us here.

- Is that clear?
- That's not only clear, it's the truth,

so help me.

Good.

There it is.

Our plane, huh?

In a few minutes,
we'll be out of all this mess.

Oh, it's wonderful.

Miss Peggy Nolan!

Beg your pardon,
are you miss Nolan?

- No.
- Sorry.

Miss Nolan!

Miss Peggy Nolan!

Miss Peggy Nolan!

That's my name.

Package for you,
miss Nolan.

Thank you.

Violets, madame.
Gardenias, 10 cents.

Perhaps you
can sell these.

Orchids.
Thank you very much.

Attention please, flight number 9,
the Silver Queen.

Los Angeles to Panama via Tepic,
Mexico. Leaving in 5 minutes.

I do hope they haven't
misplaced our luggage.

Martha, dear, I'm sure the
young man knows his business

quite well enough
to take care of everything.

He didn't look to me

as if he had
a brain in his head.

Straighten your tie,
Henry.

Thank you, dear.
Thank you.

Hello, Joe.
A note from the superintendent.

Thanks, Ray.

Oh, hello.

Hello.

- Travelling with us?
- Mm-hmm.

Yes, we are.

Watch your step,
Tommy.

Now, Tommy, I want you
to be a good boy

and mind your Uncle Pete
just as you would me.

Do I have to go away
and leave you?

Oh, I'll be with you
in a day or two.

Then we'll get a boat
and go fishing and swimming

everything.

How would you like that?

I'll join you
in about a week.

Listen Mike, why don't you chuck
everything and come with us?

You've squared
all your beefs.

- Nobody can lay a finger on you.
- I'm thinking of him.

OK, I'll see you
in Panama city.

See you later,
Tommy.

I'll see you later.
Don't be long.

I won't.
Get going.

- Say good-bye to your pop.
- Good-bye.

Good-bye, son.

See you soon,
daddy.

That's the two
we had trouble with?

Yes, sir.
Six and seven cylinders.

Take a look at this, Bill

Young man, how many minutes
before we start?

We'll be held up
about a quarter of an hour.

Orders from
the department of Labour.

The department
of Labour indeed,

you'll have to find
a better reason than that.

We're taking on
an anarchist.

Anarchist?

Yes. Murdered some
war minister down South.

Murderer!?

They think he's crazy.
But don't worry, folks.

He'll be in custody
the entire trip.

He may not be
as crazy as they think.

The government of
my country deeply regrets

the trouble to which
you've been put.

Oh, it's no trouble at all.

Will you kindly sign
right there, please?

You too, Crimp.

Senor.

Well, there are
your deportation papers.

Once again, many thanks.

Here are your tickets
and expense money.

You'll get the reward when you
deliver him to the proper authorities.

All this is very useless,
gentlemen.

I can promise you

you will never deliver me
to the proper authorities.

With 5,000 bucks waiting for me
when I hand you over?

I'll get you there if I have to
take you in a little box.

Are you positive
you don't want us

to send one of our officers
along with Crimp?

I am certain senor Crimp

will deliver him safely.

If you please,
gentlemen, don't move.

You haven't
a chance, Vasquez.

This is the seventh floor,
and between here and the street,

there are at least 50 officers...
all armed.

Hanging is such
an unpleasant death.

Besides, a hanged man
always dies alone.

I much prefer dying in the company
of decent citizens like you...

always provided
I'm the last to die.

So don't try to stop me.

Behind you, Vasquez.

Drop that gun.

Your warning might have
cost Murphy his life.

What's the matter
with you, Crimp?

I said I'd deliver him
alive, and I will.

Nobody's going to do me
out of my reward.

They are holding
the plane for you now.

Come on, you.

That's him.

Have you got a match?

No.

Thank you, miss.

Looks like we're taking
the same plane, sister.

I don't talk to cops.

They been bothering
you much lately?

Your papers
are in order.

The steward will show you
to your seats.

- Thank you.
- That's all right.

The steward will show you
to your seat, too.

Ready to go, miss?

Altitude 3,000 feet.
Visibility good.

Ceiling unlimited.

Give me weather at Tepic.

WX2Z to WNWO.
Come in.

WX2Z back to WNWO.

OK, thanks.

WX2Z off.

- Tepic's all clear.
- Swell.

What are you going to do
when we lay over in Panama city?

Sleep.

I'm figuring on
a round of gaiety.

With the passenger
in seat 5?

Right.

- That's her boss with her, isn't it?
- Sure. Young Alice.

She says his old man owns
half of South America.

Rubber and tin.

He might not like
the idea of you

chiselling in on his secretary.
They're mighty friendly.

I suppose if you
had a secretary,

you'd give her
a slap in the teeth.

I saw them
holding hands.

Well, maybe he's got
business worries.

Yeah, maybe.

I think I'll go aft
and have a sandwich.

- Hi, skipper.
- Good evening.

Aren't you going
to get any sleep?

Later on maybe.

I just want to be sure my friend here
doesn't try to go for a walk.

At this altitude?

You might want
to get it over in a hurry,

and you're worth
5,000 bucks to me.

Yes, Mr. Crimp.

I'm very expensive merchandise...

and I warn you--

you'd better not relax
your vigilance for one minute.

I'll stay awake all night.

All right, now, Tommy,
let's go to sleep.

Well, we have to say
our prayers first.

What do you mean "we"?

Don't you say your
prayers every night?

Uh, sure, sure, I do.

Shall we say your
prayers or mine?

Well,

I'm kind of
sick of my prayers.

Let's try yours.

Now I lay me
down to sleep.

Now I lay me
down to sleep.

I pray the lord
my soul to keep.

I pray the lord
my soul to keep.

If I should die
before I wake...

If I should die
before I wake...

I pray the lord
my soul to take.

I pray the lord
my soul to take.

Please take good
care of my daddy.

It's personal
right here.

You don't have to say it
if you don't want to.

Oh, sure, sure.
I get it.

Please take good
care of my daddy

and help us to get
back together again

soon as you
think you can.

Thank you. Amen.

OK, Tommy. Now can
we get some shuteye?

Good night, Pete.

Good night, kid.

Nice night.

Yeah.

We land at Tepic
in the morning, don't we?

That's what
the timetable says.

I thought perhaps
you'd like a cigarette.

No smoking
allowed in here.

You don't talk much,
do you?

Lady, we hit some bumpy air
over the mountains,

you might feel it
less if you go to bed.

Go to sleep.

I get it.

Well, good night.

Oh, why don't
they go to sleep?

I'll take the call
for you, Larry.

Don't bother,
Mr. Brooks.

No bother at all.

Oh, I get it. Number 5's
that good-looking gal.

You want to borrow
my steward's coat?

Steward!

Oh, it's you.

Is there something
I can do?

The ventilator's stuck...

but I called
for the steward.

I'm pinch-hitting
for him.

I suppose he's
flying the ship for you.

Seems to be jammed.

You know, we stop off at
Tepic, Mexico, in the morning.

They told me that
when I bought my ticket.

I'm pretty familiar
with the town.

You seem to specialise
in getting familiar.

Sure. It's fun.

You ought to
try it some time.

Maybe we'll leave the
ventilator until morning.

No, no, no. You
might catch cold.

Look, I've an idea.

Now, lie back.

Oh, but I don't see
how that will help.

Please.

What now?

- Are you warm enough?
- Why, yes, thank you.

Are you sure?
It's a bad draft.

Oh, yes, quite sure.

Well, then, good night.

Good night.

Martha, at last I can get
a bowl of real Mexican chilli.

Chilli for breakfast?

You'll have
milk toast as usual.

But, Martha,
we're on vacation.

Remember what
the doctor said.

Very well, dear.

You'll do as I say.

Ah, senor Joe!

- Buenos dias, senor. - Pedro,
how are you? I'm glad to see you.

Excuse me a minute.

- Oh, hello there.
- Good morning.

I trust
you slept well.

Like a log.

I hope you weren't bothered by
any draft last night, Miss Melhorne.

Draft?

Oh, our pilots are
so considerate, Judson.

The policy of
the company, ma'am.

Can we get a good
breakfast here?

I was just going
to suggest it.

I don't think I care
for anything.

Mexican food's
too hot for me.

Oh, but this isn't Mexican.
It's Chinese.

The chef's a very
good friend of mine.

Then we should get
some good service, eh?

This your first trip
to South America?

Yes. Uh...

You see, uh...

Very urgent business.

That's right.
Some very urgent business.

Mr. Ellis, if I had a good-looking
secretary like Miss Melhorne here,

I'd have trouble keeping
my mind on just business,

even though it were urgent.

You know, I always make it a rule
never to mix business with, er...

romance.

Then this is strictly a business trip.

What did you think it was?

Now, Alice, don't
embarrass Mr. Brooks.

- Hello, Mr. Joe.
- Hello there.

Bring you something good
for breakfast this morning?

This is Ching, the best Chinese
cook this side of San Francisco.

- You'd better let me order for you.
- Fine.

Thank you.

- Winning?
- Nope.

You won't, either.

Why?

'Cause that's one racket
you can't win at.

How do you know?

I used to know the man
who makes them.

You should know
how to beat them.

I do--
don't play 'em.

You speak Spanish.
Could you order breakfast for me?

Yes, I could.

The waiter here is Chinese,
and he speaks English.

I've got a lot to do and we're
taking off in a few minutes.

Say, Pedro,
what are those?

For the oil company in
Panama city. Air express.

They must need 'em
in a hurry.

I could have a lot of fun
with the express charges.

- Me, too.
- Put 'em on board.

Listen, when your old man
finds out you ain't drinking any milk,

what's he going to say?

I don't want it.

Aw, now you go ahead and drink
your milk like a good boy.

I'm taking care
of this kid.

If I need any help,
I'll ask for it, see?

Sorry.

You go ahead and
drink your milk anyway.

Don't drink it
so fast.

You'll get indigestion.

Look, it's a kitty!

Look, Mr. Crimp,

a black cat-- an ill omen.

You're not going
to have the best of luck.

But this cat crossed in front
of both of us, my friend.

Time to go.

Yep.

Oh, no,
this is on me.

- Oh, no, really, you shouldn't do that.
- Quite all right.

Thanks very much, Juan.
Here, keep the change.

- Thank you.
- Not at all. It was my pleasure.

Thank you.

Uh, excuse me.
Aren't you Judson Ellis?

Uh, yes.

I'm the American
pressman from Tampico.

You're Miss Melhorne,
ain't you?

We don't have anything
to say. Come on, Judson.

Oh, Ellis. No need
denying anything.

We got a wire from New York
that you were on this plane.

Yeah, your old man
talked plenty,

practically busted a blood
vessel doing it. Yours, too.

You may quote us the same.
We have nothing to say.

All we want to know is
why you're eloping.

The newspapers are
full of it anyway but

we want to get
your side of the story.

Yeah, we'd like to give
you a break, you know.

Please leave us alone.
What we do is our own affair.

It's no use, Alice.
We've got to talk sometime.

If I make a statement, will you
promise to print exactly what I say?

- You bet we will. Sure thing.
- All right.

The reason we're being married
is because we're in love.

The reason our parents
object is because

they don't think we've sense
enough to know our own minds.

That's the truth.
That's the whole story.

No mystery, no scandal,
no nothing.

Where are you going
to be married?

Panama city. Tomorrow.

Would you mind standing
there for a picture, please?

Get out of there, will you, boy?
I want to make this romantic.

Thank you.

- So she's his secretary.
- So what?

I bought their
breakfast for them.

Come on, boy.

What do they say?

Keep on going.

The weather at Panama
is zero, zero.

He thinks we're about
in the middle of it.

- Can we get above it?
- We'll try.

But I think it's the same
clear to the moon.

Will you leave
that radio alone?

It's going away from
our station so fast

I have to keep retuning it all the
time or we won't get anything.

It's too bad we're not
a little further South, Mr. Ellis,

I could point out
the most interesting territory--

the home of the Jivaros,
a tribe of headhunters.

Oh, I've heard a great deal
about them, Professor.

When they kill an enemy, they
cut off his head as a trophy of war.

Exactly. I must write a book
about the Jivaros sometime.

After obtaining
the head of an enemy,

they slit the skin from
crown to nape of neck

and remove the skull.

Then they fill
the empty skin

with hot sand or
gravel and sew it up.

I believe I told you,
my dear,

that has the effect of shrinking the
head to the size of a large orange.

Will you please be quiet?

And in several days--

I asked you
to be quiet.

You're a very unusual fellow,
Mr. Crimp.

Are you a simple maniac
depressive or a serophenic?

Your nerves are going back
on you, Mr. Crimp.

- I'd rather have a drink.
- You'd be better without it, sir.

Will we be
out of this soon?

Oh, yes, miss. These tropical
storms go faster than they come.

- May I lower your berth?
- No, thanks.

Sandwiches?

No, thanks.

Doesn't seem to
bother him any.

Ah, he's like a baby.

Lawrence...

Tell the driver
to be very careful.

Yes, ma'am.

We interrupt this program to bring you
a special bulletin from American press.

The end of a notorious career
was reached in the gutter

outside the Winslow hotel
in San Francisco today

when Michael Mulvaney
was shot to death.

Mulvaney, one-time
big-shot mob leader,

was riddled by
a dozen bullets

when he attempted to shoot his
way out of a trap set for him

by members of
his former gang...

Shut that thing off!

Who resented his attempt...

Was someone talking
about my daddy?

You was hearing
things, kid.

When am I going back
to see my daddy?

It's hard to say,
Tommy.

Let me take him.

He needs a woman.

He needs a lady.

I want to go home.

Shall I hold him?

Come, honey.

You mustn't cry.

I used to have
a little boy.

Can't raise Tepic
or Panama anymore.

Too much static.

- Well, we'll try the beam. Take over.
- Right.

We've lost that, too.
Keep trying the range.

- Want some hot coffee?
- No.

How are the passengers?

Not bad,

but that detective fellow's
getting liquored up pretty fast.

Watch him.
If he turns mean, call me.

Yes, sir.

Here comes the wind.

Any idea where we are?

We're a long ways south
of where we ought to be.

This wind is probably
driving us inland.

Left engine.
I may have to set her down.

Turn out the cabin lights
and drop a flare.

Right.

What's the matter with the lights?
- What happened?

Everybody fasten
their safety belts, please.

Look there! It will
set fire to the plane.

That's only
the exhaust.

There's no danger
from that.

This thing's worse
than a roller coaster.

Why don't they turn
around and go back?

That's what I say.

Why should we risk our lives just
so the pilot can get a good record?

Mr. Crimp, I'm sure the pilots know
much more about it than we do.

Oh, you think so,
do you?

Well, I know
what I'm doing, too.

I'm going to turn
this ship around.

What do you want?

You fellows may be
after a record, but I'm not.

Turn this ship around.
Go back.

Go back
and sit down.

Mr. Crimp, please
go back to your seat.

You keep out of this.

It's all right, Larry,
we'll handle him.

- Mrs. Spengler!
- Yes.

You must be tired. Let me
take the baby for a while.

Thank you,
Miss Melhorne.

Be careful, Martha!

Hold on! Hold on!

Aah!

Aah!

Go back, I tell you!

Shut up! Can't you see
I have my hands full?

I said go back!

You, too!
Can you hear me?

Stay where you are, Joe.
Drop another flare.

Right.

Left motor's dead.
I'll have to set her down.

Hold tight, everyone!
I'm going to set her down!

Give me your belt!

Fasten your belts!

- I got you.
- Hang on to that kid.

Okay, take her in.

Here we go.

Anybody hurt?

- How's Tommy?
- Okay.

- You all right, Judson?
- Wrenched my arm, I think.

- Are you all right, Mr. Spengler?
- Yes, I'm all right. And you, dear?

I'm not hurt.

The steward's gone.

What are we
going to do now?

There's nothing to do
but wait for daylight.

Make yourselves
as comfortable as you can.

We can't be far
off the coast.

Hike it in
a day or so.

Do you know how far
we are off our course, really?

Well, no,
not exactly.

Well, it's easy
to calculate.

We know how fast we went
and for how long.

- Simple arithmetic.
- Simple arithmetic, eh?

You know, I suppose,
how fast the wind was blowing...

and the degree of curve
the ship took inland, huh?

Oh, we'll allow
for that.

Young man, you haven't
the faintest idea where we are.

All right,
you tell us, then.

Probably on the east
side of the Andes,

somewhere near the
headwaters of the Amazon.

How do you
know that?

Well, I'm a Professor of botany
amongst other things.

I recognise several
kinds of vegetation

that only grow
in that locality.

We're in a valley between
the two ranges of mountains,

and you won't get out
unless you fly out.

Honestly, what chance
is there to repair?

Well, we smashed the right
oil tank when we set her down.

We've got to work on the
motors and jack up the plane.

That will probably take two,
maybe three weeks.

What about
the radio?

We can receive, but we can't
send without another tube,

and we haven't
got one.

We have food for a week,
maybe two if we diet.

Well, what do you say
about getting breakfast, eh?

Not a bad idea.

The last radio message
from Brooks was received

four hours after
they left Tepic.

According to the speed reporters, he
must be down somewhere in this area.

All our available planes
are searching the route.

We have one squadron of
reconnaissance ships in the air now.

There will be two more
by this afternoon.

Thank you very much,
commander.

The coast guard
is also cooperating.

We're borrowing additional
planes for you men

from the Mexican
government.

You'll all take a transport plane to
Acapulco, where the ships are waiting.

Concentrate your search
to the north.

It's not likely that they
crossed the mountains

into the valleys
near the Amazon.

That's all, gentlemen.
Thank you.

This will do it.

They ought to be able to see it
if they fly anywhere near here.

We'll keep the fire
going all night, too.

- Pardon me.
- Hey, pilot,

you might have chosen
a less forsaken spot.

I'm sure this place
is just crawling with insects.

Personally, I think
it's very pleasant.

Hmph. No accounting
for taste.

Madame, you might think
it was pleasant, too,

if you were being
taken home to be hanged.

Hey, pilot,

you can't do all that work
on an empty stomach.

Thanks.

What are our chances
for getting out of here?

They're pretty slim.

I guess we're lucky
to be alive, huh?

Yep.

Thanks to you.

Don't thank me, lady,

and don't blame
anyone.

Larry's dead, and
we're cracked up

and things happen,
and nobody can stop them.

Yeah,
I guess they do.

You know you're the first
woman I ever met who...

who could make
a good cup of coffee.

Thanks,
but the Professor made it.

Should have turned
around like I wanted to.

But we're here, and we've got
a tough job ahead of us--

that's to stay alive.

He's right. There'll be
work for us all.

Everybody's
got to help.

Mrs. Spengler, you'll be in charge
of the cooking department.

I'll be nothing of the sort.
I'm not a servant.

Did you hear what he said,
Martha? You're the cook.

Don't you use that
tone to me, Henry.

You were a very good
cook when we married.

- Now let's see if you've forgotten.
- But...

Don't argue. Cook.

Better take off
the left cowling, Joe.

We'll need enough wood
to last all night.

Alice, take the axe.
We can use our hands, Crimp.

I'm a passenger.
I don't have to work.

Well, that's
all right with me,

but those that
don't work, don't eat.

Casey, take everything
out of the plane we can use.

- Give him a hand, Vasquez.
- Very well.

Stay where you are,
you.

What's the idea?

He's my prisoner.
He takes orders from me.

You ought to take
orders from us.

We paid our fares.

Somebody's got
to boss things

if we're going to try
and get out of here.

Any other objections
to my taking charge?

Certainly not. The pilot
of a wrecked plane

has as much authority as
the captain of a wrecked ship.

I think that's the law.

Yeah, maybe it is, but
how's he going to enforce it?

Excuse me, gentlemen,
but I think the officer in charge

ought to have
an emblem of authority.

Thanks.

You want my rod,
too?

No, you better keep it.
You might need it.

Now don't make us
waste any bullets on you.

We might need 'em
for food.

All right.

Come on, Tommy.
Time to go to bed.

You sure know
how to handle kids.

Yes.
I love them.

I guess yours is
grown up by now, huh?

Mine--

my little boy died when
he was just that age.

That's tough.

Yeah.

Come on if you
want a listen!

We got the cabin
radio working,

trying to get
a news broadcast.

- Hope they're looking for us.
- They better be!

It's almost time for
the 10:00 news broadcast

from San Francisco.

Maybe we'll find out
what's happened to us.

Well, go ahead
and tune it in.

No. We're waiting
for the exact time.

Got to save our batteries.

OK, Joe.

Giants nicked
two dodger pitchers

for six hits and two runs

but were retired by
a fast double play

before they could
cut down the dodger lead.

This is the first time in
my life that I don't care

whether the giants
win or lose.

And from San Diego
comes tragic news

that Commander Wilson
of the naval air base

has recalled two of the squadrons
of reconnaissance planes

which have been searching for
the lost airliner Silver Queen,

which vanished in a tropical
storm with 12 people on board.

However, in the belief that the
Silver Queen was far off her course,

one squadron of naval planes

and several private planes chartered
by the airline will continue the search,

which has been switched
to the west coast of Panama.

Little hope, however, is held that
any trace of the missing airliner

and its cargo of 12 human lives
will ever be found,

as the country over which the plane
was driven by the violent storm

is dense and
inaccessible jungle.

Okay, Joe.
Shut her off.

A moose!

He's got our scent.
Let's get nearer.

No, no.
I'll get him from here.

Darn! Missed him.

There must be something
the matter with this rod.

- No, you hit him! He's down!
- Oh, boy!

Now we won't have to be
vegetarians anymore.

- Do you mean it?
- Yeah.

Wait a minute.
Wait a minute. You move too fast.

I've seen guys lose
a hand for less.

I'll play you again,
double or nothing.

Well, I...

Henry!

I better go. It's
past my bedtime.

Turning in,
Mr. Spengler?

- Yes. Goodnight, boys.
- Goodnight - 'Night.

I always thought professors were dumb,
but that guy will surprise you.

He tied me in a knot.

I never was any good
at games anyway.

You're certainly handy
with that rod of yours.

Yeah. That was the
best steak I ever ate.

I don't want to
blow my own horn,

but in some circles, I'm considered
very handy with a heater.

Thanks for letting me
keep it, though.

I'm so used to it,

I've even got a shoulder holster
in one of my nightshirts.

I had a reason for
letting you keep it, Pete.

Somebody has to stand
guard here nights.

You know, there might be
animals around.

Well, I'm a guardsman
out of the old school.

Shall I start now?

No. You better
go to bed.

- I ain't sleepy.
- You go to bed.

You got a lot of work to do
on that plane tomorrow.

Joe will relieve me at 2:00.
You better turn in.

- OK. If you need me, holler.
- Yeah.

- Night.
- Night.

He's a pretty good guy.

Yeah. They've all
been pretty good...

except Crimp.

I only hope they keep on
feeling the way they do.

That airliner's certainly a mess.

Well, we can fix
that in time.

You know, Joe, this is going
to be a very fine place

to try to make a take-off from.

You think we can
straighten that prop?

We can try.
What else can we do?

I tell you what
you can do.

In fact, I've got a suggestion

that'll temporarily at least,
solve the whole problem,

a solution I've tried before
and has never failed.

You're drunk.

Elementary,
my dear Watson.

Don't you wish you were?
You could be, you know.

In fact, I've got a whole suitcase
full of liquor back there.

I always provide against the minor
inconveniences of modern travel.

It's one of the secrets
of my great success.

- Don't you think you
better go to bed? - No!

Why don't you
act your age, Ellis?

All right, big shot.

But I might as well
go on the record for saying

I think you're carrying this
guardianship of yours too far.

You're the boss now,
but if ever we get out of this,

I'm liable to buy up
that whole airline,

and then I'll be the boss,
see?

Go to bed.

Stand up. Sit down.

Do this and do that.

Who do they think
they are anyhow?

Hey, pipe down, you.

What's the matter with you?
You want a drink?

No. Go to bed.

I would
if I could see.

Why don't they have some sort
of light in here anyhow?

Here. Let me help you.

Thanks.

You needn't bother.

Oh, that's all right.

- I've handled drunks before.
- No doubt.

I want you to know

that Alice and I are
going to be married.

Oh, relax.

Can I have another
one of those?

Oh, yeah, sure.

Take a drag of it.

What's the matter?
Can't you sleep?

Mr. Ellis
is kind of noisy.

Oh, he's drunk.

I better go
quiet him down.

Well, you can't
blame him much.

He's trying to be a good guy,
but he's scared to death.

Aren't you?

Well, I'd feel a little better
if we were out of this jam here.

I've been in trouble before,
but nothing like this.

Yeah? What kind?

Men.

Oh.

You didn't think I was going to
Panama to see the sights, did you?

Well, it's mighty pretty
scenery down there.

You don't care much
for women, do you?

Oh, yeah, sure.
They're all right.

Never found one that really
hurt, though. Is that it?

Yeah, I did once.

Who?

My wife.

Run out on you?

No.

No. We got married
right after the war...

weren't any jobs then, so
I bought an old Jenny, and...

and took to barnstorming.

I used to fly the plane.
She was a wing walker.

We played carnivals and fairs,
you know, that stuff.

One time down in Indiana,
she didn't feel so good.

I told her not to go up,
but she just laughed at me, so...

we went up.

She crawled out
on the wing and fainted.

We cracked up.

I lived.

Funny, you know. Things happen,
and nobody can stop them.

You better get
some shuteye.

Good night.

Good night.

Why don't you guys
get wise to yourself?

That thing
will never fly again.

Maybe you've got a better idea
for getting out of here.

You bet I have. We should've
started to walk weeks ago.

Sure, and we'd
still be walking,

just as far from
civilisation as we are now.

The only way we'll
get out of here is to fly.

Fly. You know
what I think of you two?

You're a couple of fools.

Cut it out, Joe.

That's right, Joe.

Mind the boss.

Be a good little boy.

Let me help you, eh?

No, thanks. I'm all right.

Why do you take
your whiskers off, Uncle Pete?

You want me to look
like a gorilla?

Well... no.

Mrs. Spengler,
do you happen to have a pin?

See a pin
and pick it up,

all the day you have
good luck. - Thank you.

The fisherman,
eh?

Your wife is
very kind to me.

I'm tempted to be
jealous of you, Vasquez.

We get fried bananas
quite frequently

since Mrs. Spengler learned
you were fond of them.

Perhaps she's only
sorry for me.

Not at all,
Mr. Vasquez.

The moment that plane
takes the air,

all of you will begin
to live again.

As for me--

you mustn't allow
yourself to think of that.

We're getting to know
one another pretty well now.

I feel I can speak freely
to you, Vasquez.

If you had it
all over again,

would you do
what you did?

I don't know.

My experiences here
have made me think.

Now, look at this camp.

There are no
classes here.

We have chosen a leader in whom
we all have supreme confidence

and whom we respect
completely.

We have plenty to eat--

the best.

We are well-sheltered.
We are in good health.

By all theories,

ours is an ideal
community,

and yet, everyone here,
except myself,

is living for the day when
all this will come to an end.

That is how tightly
modern living

has become wrapped up
in non-essentials.

Personally, I should be happy
to spend all my life here.

So you see,

even in the jungle,
I'm anti-social.

I doubt that.

See, this experience
has changed most of us.

Bill is more human.

Alice has
grown stronger.

Ellis has grown a...
a little weaker.

Our friend Pete developed a
paternal affection for little Tommy...

And you, Vasquez,

I think it's changed you
more than anyone.

Possibly,

although it seems to me I have noticed
some change in you people, too.

Quite right.
Quite a change.

One I'm sure
will make you very happy.

Thank you for the pin,
Mrs. Spengler.

- You know, Henry...
- Mm-hm?

I'm afraid you'll think
I'm a little crazy, but...

In a way, I'm glad
the plane crashed.

I think I am, too.

We've... rediscovered
each other, haven't we?

Mm-hm.

- What are you doing in there?
- I'm getting myself a drink.

Well, why didn't
you ask for one?

- 'Cause I wouldn't get it.
- Give me that.

Give me that knife.

Why don't you mind
your own business?

What's going on here?

Oh. This, huh?

I caught him stealing
from my bag.

I don't want anymore drinking
going on here, understand?

Oh, you don't, eh?
Well, we'll see about that.

I'm getting tired of being
bossed around by you.

You know, Judson,
I'd hate to have to hit you.

Now, you do what I tell you.

Wasn't my fault.

Martha, we'll get back
to our laundry.

You see,
he stole my liquor.

That's tough.

Alice.

Jud, you've got to pull
yourself together.

Oh, so you're
against me, too, eh?

- No, I'm not, Jud. It's just...
- Yes, you are.

Everybody in this whole outfit's
acting like a pollyanna, including you.

We might as well
face the...

Well, we might as well
face the facts.

Well, aren't you going
to say anything?

I was thinking
of what you just said.

We might as well
face the facts.

Alice?

He's going to be all right.

He's just a little mixed-up,
that's all.

Yeah. I suppose so.

You know, any man
might go a bit haywire

in a situation like this.

Bill didn't.

Professor Spengler
didn't.

Neither did Vasquez...

or you.

He hasn't been any help,
has he?

Has he?

Crimp?

Hey, Crimp?

- Find any trace of him, Joe?
- No. I've been a mile upstream.

He's been gone
about seven hours.

- No signs of him, eh?
- Nope.

Wouldn't it be unfortunate if
something has happened to him?

The man's a fool.

He's probably sulking
around here some place.

He'll be back.

Yes, if nothing's
happened to him.

I suppose you're going
to start blabbering

about Indians again
the way you did on the plane.

Is there Indians
around here?

Sure, there are.
Ask your Uncle Henry.

Very bad Indians, too. They
get you and cut your head off.

Justin, for heaven's sake,
be quiet.

Listen you, if you're
trying to scare this kid,

I'm going to poke you
in the jaw.

Henry, you don't really
think there's any danger?

No, my dear, no, no,
of course not.

We're too far north.

Why all the fuss just because
a man has been away a few hours?

- He'd better be back soon.
- Why?

Because with any luck at all,
we'll be out of here by tomorrow.

That means
I get to see my daddy.

Yeah, sure.

I'll be so happy to see him.

It's time for you
to go to bed, kid.

May I take him, Pete?

Here, you go on with
your aunt Peggy.

Come on.

- So we're getting out of here, huh?
- Yeah, looks like it.

Back to our
normal living, huh?

To you, Mr. Ellis, it will mean
marriage and happiness.

I think I'll turn in.

Alice, I want to talk to you.

- We can talk tomorrow.
- No. Now.

I don't care
what those fellows say.

They'll never get
that thing in the air again.

We'll know tomorrow
for sure.

Do you realise that we might
be stuck here from now on?

Do you know
what that means?

Yes, but

if we are, we'll just have to
make the best of it, that's all.

Exactly.

If we do get out of here,
we can be married right away...

But supposing we don't
get out of here?

You better leave...

before I call someone.

All right.

You better go to bed, too.

We're getting out
of here tomorrow.

Good-night.

Good-night.

You know, she's all right.

Well, she is.

Come on, boy.

- Bill?
- Yes, sir?

I don't want to be
an alarmist,

but I think you ought to keep
special watch tonight. - Why?

I'm pretty confident
I heard the sound of drums.

Where?

Over there.
At intervals.

Maybe I'm mistaken,
but...

Whether you were or not,
we'd better keep it to ourselves.

And double the watch.

All right, Joe!

Great work, men!
Great work!

Well, now we've got to
finish clearing a runway.

- That'll be a big job.
- I wish we had a lawn mower.

Well, if we work hard,
we ought to finish by tonight.

What are you going
to do about Crimp?

He ought to have been here
this morning, unless...

Let's not worry about him now.
He'll be back. Come on, boys.

Come on, little monkey.

Won't you have
something to eat?

Please don't
feel frightened.

I won't hurt you.

Here, junior.

Hey, junior.

Water boy?

Water boy?

Tommy?

Tommy?

Tommy?

Has anybody seen him?

Ain't he around? Maybe he
went to sleep somewhere.

What if he's run off in
that jungle and gotten lost?

I'm going to look
for him.

- Better take your gun, Pete.
- I got it.

- I'm going to look, too.
- Careful, Peggy.

Tommy!

Tommy?

Tommy!

Here's the water pan.

He must be somewhere
on the other side.

Tommy?

Tommy?

Tommy?

Here I am.

Darling!

I ought to wham the daylights out
of you, scaring everybody to death.

I found Mr. Crimp.

- Where?
- Over there.

Don't make any noise.
He's asleep.

Show me.

Take him.

Oh, Pete!

We better get back
to camp right away.

You take the kid back.
I'll stay here.

Oh, Pete, no!

Go on. Do like I say. I can
take care of myself. Run!

Give her a hand.

I should think this is about
as light as we can get it.

Every ounce counts.

We've got to climb fast

if we're going to clear
those trees.

Here we are.

Here comes Peggy.
She's got Tommy with her.

Tommy.

Thank heaven
you're safe!

- Is he all right?
- He's all right.

Where's Pete?

- He stayed back there.
- Back where?

Where we
found Crimp.

Crimp's dead.
He's been killed.

We'd better get out of here
before we're all killed.

We're not going to leave
without Pete.

Here he comes.

Uncle Pete!
Uncle Pete!

Tommy, go in.

Poison dart.

We'd better get him
on the plane.

No.

You guys
better get going.

Is Tommy all right?

Yes. He's safe.

Tell him, his old man--
I'm taking care of him.

He's gone.

Everybody
on the plane. Quick!

We can't leave him
here like this.

The lighter we are, the better chance
we have of taking off. Go on. Move!

Come on, Peggy.

Go on, Vasquez.
We can't spare any more time.

Everybody on the plane,
fast!

Bring those
water bottles!

I hope she'll lift.

They've got to be
racing when we try it.

Well, here we go.

There goes an oil line.

What happened?

Oil line on the
left engine let go.

- Can you fix it?
- Well, I can try.

I hope we have
enough time.

Listen. They're
going to attack us.

No. As long as the drums
sound, we're all right.

It's when they stop
drumming they'll attack.

Come on, Joe.

How much longer?

We're nearly ready.

They've got to know,
Joe.

Folks, I've got
bad news for you.

I can fix the engine
so it'll get us in the air...

but it won't last long.

We've got that Mountain
range to go over, and

one engine can't make it
with a full load.

How many will it take?

Four of us and the kid.

I know these planes. I've
tested them at the factory.

I know exactly
what they'll do.

So that means
five of us get out, and...

The rest stay.

There's need
for only one pilot.

That's Bill.

Wait a minute. You're
as good a pilot as I am.

I'll stay.

I'll stay, too.

I'm pretty fed up
with things outside.

I don't care much
what happens.

Now, look here, if you two want to play
hero, that's all right with me, but...

There's one rule
we can use.

Women and children first.

I think the women have as much
right to a choice as the men.

- We could draw lots.
- No.

Chance is too tricky.
The wrong people might win.

We've got to be logical.

Excuse me.
I think this is necessary.

I don't think so. It hasn't been
decided yet whether you go or stay.

Oh, yes, it has.
I stay.

Now, some of you want to live,
others deserve to,

but the question cannot
be decided emotionally.

It's got to be decided
by cold, hard logic,

and since I have to have my
neck cut by one kind of savage

or stretched by another, I have
nothing to gain either way.

I am the only one you can depend
on to decide things logically.

Stay where you are,
Mr. Ellis.

I'm the law now.

Legally, the question ought
to be decided by Bill...

or Joe,

but I for one
am quite content

to let the matter lie
with Mr. Vasquez.

Thank you,
Professor.

Don't you see? You've all formed
attachments, friendships.

I'm the only one
who hasn't.

I wish you all well.

So whether you like it or not,
I'm going to choose for you.

All right, Vasquez.
Make your decision,

but make it quick.

We'll be ready to take off
in a few minutes.

Come on, Joe.

The drums have stopped.

That means they
may attack soon.

Well, what about it?
Who gets to go?

I have to think it over until the
plane is ready to fly, Mr. Ellis.

- Henry?
- Mm-hmm?

The same moon was shining
when we got married.

It was much larger then.

And 35 years younger.

Martha?

Mm-hmm?

Vasquez must not
choose us.

I know, dear.

I know.

I'm grateful to you,
Martha...

For our life together.

Thank you, Henry.

I'm going to speak
to Vasquez.

Vasquez...

My wife and I have
grown to like you.

Can't allow that to influence
my decision, Professor.

Oh, yes, you can.

Mrs. Spengler and I

have only a short
time left at the best.

The others have a life
before them.

Leave us behind.

I ask it as a favour.

If there were more men
like you, Professor,

there would be
fewer men like me.

Thank you.

Joe?

Sometimes people find out
their mistakes too late, but...

suppose things turn out
that one of us goes back

and one of us
has to stay here?

I think I know
what you mean...

'Cause I've wanted to
say the same thing.

All right, Joe.
Let's turn them over.

Vasquez, I want
to talk to you.

I am very rich, you know.

If--if you and I were to go
back on that plane together,

I'd...

I'd hire the finest lawyer
in the world for you.

Thank you.

I'll think it over,
Mr. Ellis.

How's the kid?

Asleep.

Never thought I'd be
the motherly type.

Chances are you'll be
going back with him.

You stay,
I want to stay, too.

If Vasquez says
you're to go, you'll go.

I've got some dough
saved up--

enough to give you
and the kid a start.

I'll give you a note to the airport,
and they'll let you have the money.

- All right, Bill.
- OK, hit the throttle.

Clear the prop.

Give me more gas!

All right. We're ready.

Come on, Vasquez.
Let's have it.

First I pick Bill. I think
he's the one to fly the ship.

- Now, wait a minute--
- What he says goes. Right.

Tommy's second,
of course.

Third, Alice,
fourth, Joe Brooks...

- What?
- Please let me finish.

Fifth,
miss Peggy.

Well, what's
the matter with me?

You're not worth saving,
Mr. Ellis.

Mr. and Mrs. Spengler are
remaining at their own request,

and as for me,

there was certainly no bravery
involved in my decision.

Now, you better get going.
You haven't much time.

I'm not going to leave
Mr. and Mrs. Spengler.

Me, neither.

Oh, yes, you are.
Martha and I...

My choice goes!

Get them on the plane.

Get them in the plane!

It's all right.
It's not serious.

Get him in the plane.

Hurry up, there!

Hurry up, all of you!
In the plane!

All right, quickly...

It's like having children
of our own, isn't it?

Yes. Five young people
all going back.

Well,

I'll go and fix the fire.

If we're taken alive,

it means torture.

Three shots left.

When she's not looking.

Can I lend you
a hand, Martha?

Henry, you old darling.
