Turn the light away!

Next time warn me of your presence. You scared me

Who else could it be?

Did you turn the alarm off?

All is ready.

Let's start.

Give me the flashlight.

This way.

Leave that!

Why?

It only has archaeological value. We couldn't sell that.

Did you hear anything unusual?

No.

Look ... how many millions will they be worth?

THE VERMINS

We are by the fortress build by Viceroy Diego Colon.

Look a the beautiful architecture.

Inside, furniture and utensils can be seen,

as well as pottery and weapons from the Spanish colonial era.

There is a large room in the main floor with weapons and pieces of stone

which originated from civilizations prior to the Discovery.

Here you can see full body armors

which were used by knights,

as well as 15th Century weapons with Milanese influence.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- We'll help. - Thank you.

Those were the only two steps.

Once inside you will be able to move comfortably.

Thanks a lot.

This is a polychrome wooden atrium

In the middle, the Dominican coat of arms can be seen

You are right, Miss. It is a genuine relic!

- Good morning, Father. - Peace be with you.

- Good morning, guard! - Good-bye!

- What do you have there? - Where?

In that toolbox.

Damn! They caught us ...

We wanted to keep all the gems in the museum.

Come on! Open that!

Yes, sir. With pleasure.

Pick up all those tools and go away!

Yes, sir! One moment, agent! One moment!

- Get out of here! - Sure ...

We are leaving ...

Here you can see a collection on antique Spanish ceramics.

And now we will see some Pre-Columbian funeral masks.

In addition of their archaeological and artistical value, they are a treasure

due to the size of their emerald and rubies.

They robbed them!

Ready!

- What happened? - Look ...

Freeze!

Nobody moves!

Drop your guns!

I told you to drop your rifles!

Don' resist. You would die in vain.

I'm going to count ...

One ...

two ...

Down!

Very good.

Step aside! Now!

Cover me ...

What's that??

He fooled us!

Things turned out well.

We are above suspicion.

Tom is taking a chance with those lunatics.

He will lose them, he is a smart guy.

Not as much as you think.

He confronted them, and that's dangerous in our trade.

Your attention! I am Patrol 7 calling headquarters.

We are in the docks. The car we were chasing fell into the water.

This bothers me!

Having to wait bothers me.

He should have been here 1/2 hour ago.

We agreed not to touch anything until he does the distribution.

Damn distribution ...

Tom keeps 50% and we share what's left.

They may recognize him.

Even better!

If we keep the gems ...

nobody could track us.

- And Tom? - Who cares about that gringo?

Let's not waste more time, compadre. Take my advice!

To fool me ...

you have to be much smarter.

With fond regards .... Tom Bredd!

The swine!

He left with everything!

We must find him

- Do you know his friends? - I know nothing about him.

And you?

He planned all very well.

Nothing from the present

Nothing from the past ...

Absolutely nothing!

But we know one of Tom Bredd's friends.

A man he trusts 100%.

You've lost me.

The crane operator!

The guy at the crane?

He took too many risks. He must know something ...

Did you find something?

Nothing, Sergeant! The current is too strong!

- Keep searching! - Yes, Sir!

- Go and help him. - At your orders.

Hey, you!

Could we talk with you for a moment?

Sure, I'll be down in a minute.

Where is Tom Bredd?

I don't know who you are talking about!

I know nothing!

Come on, speak!

He asked me to hide him from the cops.

That's all what I did.

Why were they after him?

I believe ... because of an affair with a woman.

He paid me for my help.

Do you know the woman?

Talk!

It must be Margaret!

Tom already had fight with a sailor because of her.

The sailor works on a yacht ... in the port of Macoris.

What's that woman's name?

- Margaret Sampson. - Margaret Sampson?

And the other guy?

- I don�t .... - Talk!

What's the guy's name?

- Amando Suarez. - Let him go.

Tom!

So ... aren't you happy of seeing me?

Yes ...

I didn't expect you, so you surprised me.

You will have to get used to this.

Were you successful?

- We are multi-millionaires. - Did you bring it with you?

No .... that would have been too dangerous.

Did you think I wouldn't come back?

I didn't hear from you for months.

I thought you just left.

Why didn't you leave?

I don't know.

I hope you might remember me and come back.

You must have been bored.

Not really. I tried to have as much fun as I could.

I see.

Tell me something ...

Did you have your parties here?

No, I went to the village to dance ...

to drink ... to gamble ...

So you must have spent most of the money I gave you.

Not a penny.

Luckily, I arrived on time.

I would have managed.

You never lacked resources.

Forget everything.

Our future is secured.

But I must hide until a plane takes us far away.

When will that be?

In a couple of days ... maybe a bit longer.

I've been thinking a lot of you.

Tom, you are going to stain the bedspread with your shoes.

Who cares about the bedspread?

Well, here .... sleeps a female guest.

What?

You must understand. I was lonely at night and I was afraid.

I needed money, and that was the only way.

You idiot!

I came here to hide. I cannot live with a stranger!

It's dangerous.

Even if they think I'm dead

my description must be in the news and the media.

A wrong move and I will end in jail!

Don't worry, darling.

Sofia is a very serious woman.

She works in a sugar factory in the town outskirts.

I don't care. You must kick her out.

Under what excuse? She may become suspicious.

I prefer that. If she sees me, we could lose everything.

She leaves at 8 AM. She does not bother at all.

We'll have the whole day for us.

Don't you realize the danger we are in?

There is no danger at all.

You won't see her. You will sleep in the dock.

I would have groomed the garden but there are many nasty rats.

I see. And that's the place you are offering me?

Sofia promised to give me some rat poison. I'll remind her tonight.

At least I could bathe if it's too hot.

Forget about that. It's too dangerous.

If you look carefully, you will see a lot of alligators on the other side.

They attack when they have a chance.

They don't look like pleasant neighbours.

You can spend the night in this shed by the dock.

OK.

I'll bring you a mattress and something to drink.

Time will pass quickly.

I'll need a radio.

You'll get one, darling.

Don't go. Stay here with me.

Sofia is about to arrive.

Come and see me tomorrow morning.

Bye.

Where is Amando Suarez?

Over there. The one with the red T-shirt.

Amando Suarez?

Yes. What do you want?

We want to know the whereabouts of Margaret Sampson.

Why do you ask me?

You dated her for awhile.

- Until a Yankee took her. - That's not true. I left her.

Why?

That slut was disgusting. She only cared about money.

She would do anything for a grand.

Where did you meet her?

It doesn't matter.

She picked up men in Hotel Villa del Mar's club. The bitch!

Let's go, I know where it is.

Regarding the diving done in the port of Macoris

the authorities don't have much hope of finding the thief's corpse.

They are considering to declare him missing.

However, they are still looking for the briefcase with the gems.

This, despite of the layer of mud making the divers' job difficult.

What's going on? You look sad.

Nothing.

It must be the weather change.

If have been gambling and lost, I will give you money.

I want you to be happy above anything else.

I cannot live thinking that you are not at peace.

No, please!

Not now ...

What's wrong?

I think I heard someone.

I haven't heard anything.

Nobody can be here.

It must have been the rats.

Yes.

It must be the rats.

What are you looking at?

I must end this once and forever.

It doesn't matter. It's nothing.

Hi, pal. Is Margaret Sampson still performing in the club?

No. I haven't seen her for ages.

Can you see her with this?

There is a girl who may be able to tell you something.

Gentlemen?

- A glass of rum for me. - Same for me.

You have customers on # 17.

New ones?

Never seen them before.

Hi, guys.

My throat is dry from singing.

What about 1/2 bottle of whisky?

Whatever you want. Let's talk business.

I don't like to rush things.

But we do.

"We"?

I only do one at the time.

I can bring another girl.

Sure. Margaret Sampson.

So you want a sure shot? Sorry, but you are out of luck.

- Why? - Because I've lost her track.

Were you good friends?

Hey, are you cops?

No. We are Margaret's friends, and we want to see her.

What for?

He is crazy for her.

Don't tell me you are horny.

As a mule!

I believe an American "retired" her.

Margaret talked a lot about him.

The American guy wanted to live with her in a house he bought by the swamps.

I would not live there at any cost!

What's wrong with you?

- What are you doing in this bed? - Sleeping, as you can see.

So she is "a very serious woman"?

You are a filthy bitch! You couldn't get any lower!

Do you think I could live from a room's rental? Sofia pays for all my expenses!

I don't like this situation, either.

But I had to put up with it!

You are going to kick out that slut right now!

She would make a scene and she wouldn�t stop until she found out why.

Very well! She may stay.

But it's all over between us!

And when the plane comes to pick you up ...

are you going to leave me empty-handed?

It's Jacqueline, a French maid.

I rented this place to be alone!

Do you expect me to be a scullery maid? I wasn't born for that!

Jacqueline!

One moment ...

Good morning, here is the bill.

Thank you. Go and do the cleaning.

Don't get close to the dock, I've set traps for the alligators.

Don't worry.

Hello, Mary.

How come you are here?

All the realtors come here often.

So? They can afford it.

Of course. And they talk and you hear what they say.

You know I am a very curious woman.

It is a rewarding little weakness of mine.

That's why we are here.

I thought so. What are you after?

Horse races?

Minors?

No.

We are trying to locate a house by the swamp.

A Yankee bought it or leased it around 1 year ago.

I know nothing about Americans during the last few months.

Other than a matter of ....

industrial patents and another one involving drugs

But I guess you are not interested.

Does the name Margaret Sampson ring a bell?

She is a cabaret doll

She has as many scruples as a pig.

She thinks she is smart. She has cleaned more than one old man

I remember she kept a house that would not sell.

The agent thought he was smart for making her take it.

Where is she now?

I can find out.

I will need ...

both time and money.

How much time?

3- 4 days.

And money?

- A grand. - And if we give you two?

The you will know in 2 hours.

Very well.

I'll keep it.

That briefcase is already ours.

Yes. You better stay here.

What??

My eyes!

My eyes!!

Jacqueline!

Finish with that and get the bedroom ready!

-Do you have my stuff?

No, it is impossible to obtain such a high dosage.

I will answer for its usage.

Sure, but the boss wants to talk with you.

About what?

He will give it to you ... if you insist.

You are so bitter ...

What a surprise!

I've been expecting your visit for a long time.

You look deteriorated.

What is your problem?

I could help you.

I came to see if you would grant my request.

Ah! It's about the order.

I thought you were going to talk about yourself

and of your issues.

And also about me.

That conversation was interrupted.

My current concern is a Torcilene prescription that has been systematically denied to me.

Don't get excited, Sofia.

The problem is I think

the dosage is too high.

Rats have taken over the place where I live.

I want to exterminate them!

They must be huge animals when you are asking for so much poison.

Are you still refusing to give it to me?

Of course I will give it to you.

I brought you a sandwich and a Thermos with coffee.

I will have to replenish the booze.

What a shame.

Soon we will never see each other again..

Have you forgotten the good times we spent together?

It's hot here.

Remember when we first met?

I was working at the cabaret

I had a wimp as a boyfriend.

I liked you from the beginning.

You were so commanding and purposeful, and then ...

your plan for the robbery.

It was fabulous.

You told me everything.

Then you trusted me.

We were both like one person. Don't you like me anymore?

Will you evict that slut?

Are you jealous?

I like that. I like you being jealous.

You are crazy. You are hurting me!

You are hurting me!

Wait, Tom.

I'm scared.

Scared of what?

Now that we can be so happy, someone could steal our treasure.

No, don't worry. It's in a safe place.

No place is safe.

I left it in Macoris.

In the small palace ruins.

Hidden in between ...

You are a slut.

You thought you could just leave me?

You will give me half of it!

Why?

You are in my hands.

A brief chat with the cops and you are toast.

I want half of it!

Our company ...

is about to declare bankruptcy. The General Manager must leave the country.

That's half of what we agreed.

You'll get the rest of the money when our General Manager is safe.

OK

We'll leave in 1/2 hour.

Good luck.

A crop-spraying aircraft is nothing suspicious.

We must leave in 1/2 hour, before they arrest the General Manager.

We'll make a few grand.

So what will we do with the gringo?

Relax, we'll take care of him later.

He will wait, he has no choice.

What do you want?

Where is your friend?

Who you are talking about?

Do you have more than one, cutie?

You look like a smart girl

so you will tell me right now where is Tom Bredd, or whatever his name is.

I haven't seen him for more than one year.

Listen, gorgeous. If you don't tell me a story I like

I'll bet you to my heart's content!

I know nothing, I swear. Nothing!

No, please, stop! I can't take that!

I'll tell you where Tom Bredd is.

- Talk. - There he is!

Come in, closer.

Nice dirty trick.

Where are the gems?

Why don't you shoot?

The gems are worth more than you.

Where are they?

See? I didn't betray you!

Because if you did you would have lost the gems.

If I wanted to, I would have kept that man.

I saw how fond he was of you.

What shall we do with him?

The swamp will be a good place for this pig.

Here.

Make sure you hide his car.

Hi, darling.

How was your day?

I'm looking forward to spend more time together after I deal with a few issues.

Go to sleep. I'm not tired.

What's the matter with you?

What happened to you?

Someone knocked at the door. It was a wanderer asking for money.

He realized I was alone and he tried to rape me.

But I resisted.

Why are you covering yourself?

He likes to torture girls.

A wanderer who smokes cigars.

It's just a stinky butt.

We must end forever with those nasty rats.

So you are one of those alligators that my mistress wants to catch.

That must be the case.

And what's your name, Mr. Alligator?

X.

Alligator X.

Sure.

I'm just a guest.

But that's a secret.

Can you keep it?

Don't worry. I'm Mata-Hari's granddaughter.

How come such an important spy is working as a maid?

- Something wrong with that? - No, nothing.

But it's not your style.

Well, a girl fell in love with a guy named Jean.

And the guy wanted to travel.

We joined a hippy-like group. We left France 1 year ago.

And we got arrested because of a drugs issue.

Jean got released first, then he vanished.

So here I am by myself, with no help from my embassy or my family, and trying to save to make it to India.

How original.

So you want to go to India?

Hey, I could help you. You teach me some French and problem solved.

Thank you. We could start tomorrow.

- Shall we celebrate with a drink? - Yes.

- Rum? - OK.

To Alice in the Land of Disasters!

Not to Alice ... to Jacqueline.

What's your name?

I already told you. Alligator X.

- You intend to be an alligator a long time? - No, I intend to travel around the world.

With no money for the trip?

I have millions!

To India.

For the first alligator who will tour the world.

How long will you stay?

Sorry. Mata-Hari's granddaughter must be discreet.

Do you want me to stay here?

What will you do with a poor alligator?

Money does not bring happiness.

Then, why does everyone go after it?

They are wrong.

Sure

You are a smart girl who thinks everybody is wrong except for you.

Well, this smart girl is feeling a bit dizzy and she is going to sleep.

With Mr. Alligator's permission.

I'm sorry I'm feeling dizzy. I like talking with you after all.

I'll be back in a moment.

I don't understand the delay. The plane should have arrived by now.

Don't you eat?

I have a strong pain in my stomach.

I don't feel too well, either. It must be all that canned food.

You know I don't like to cook.

Maybe it's food poisoning?

This could be serious. I'll call a doctor.

Wait!

Just bring fresh food and don't call anyone.

Another stranger could see me.

The doctor would examine me.

We could share the prescription he'll give.

We both have the same problem.

Maybe you are right. We'll have to take that risk.

Hi.

Still here?

I's late, and to leave I must go through the house.

Margaret would want to know where I was.

- Besides, I feel good here. - Thank you for the compliment.

I was talking about this place.... not about alligators.

Don't worry, you are not my type.

You cannot leave.

Remember? Margaret would ask you questions.

- Would you like me to stay? - Would you like to stay?

- Does it hurt? - A bit.

Are you cooking with copper cookware?

Yes, I have an old pot.

Your stomach cramps could be due to copper oxide.

All symptoms indicate poisoning.

Take these pills as prescribed.

You think I will get better, doctor?

Of course.

But I will keep an eye on you regularly.

- Even after I have recovered. - Most especially after you have healed.

Ailments must be prevented.

Let me know whether or not your condition changes.

- It's a pleasure to have a patient like you. - Thank you, doctor.

What's that nonsense about a copper pot?

And you are not cooking.

We must not alarm the doctor. All must look natural.

But I am more and more convinced that Sofia is poisoning us.

Sofia ...

When did she have a chance to do that?

It's too early to be certain. Don't be too hopeful.

Take the medication and come back in 15 days.

OK, doctor.

And remember to avoid the light.

I don't know what happened.

We must think in leaving this place.

I cannot wait for them to pick me up.

Who?

Some friends with a plane.

Why are you hiding?

It's better if you don't know.

I don't want you to be my accomplice.

Is it because of politics?

Yes.

I don't care. I will follow you wherever you go.

I have been told that milk is very good for poisoning.

I think I will heal with Margaret's prescription pills.

And by not eating anything from the house.

You should take some antidote. I can bring it from town.

You are right. But first we must know what type of poison we are dealing with.

I will find it.

I will search the kitchen before Margaret wakes up.

- Who are you and what are you doing here? - I am the maid.

Margaret didn't tell me about you.

I thought she took care of cleaning.

I come here every morning.

Why did you get such a low job?

You are a good looking girl ...

you have a beautiful body.

What do you do while at work?

Just household chores.

I suppose ... you will work very well if you want to.

I don't know what you mean!

Are you afraid of me?

Then why are you avoiding me?

Leave me!

What does Margaret have that I don't?

Is money what you want?

What's going on?

You have been cheating on me with her.

What are you saying?

I must leave now.

We'll settle this matter later!

Why did you come so early?

The deal was you wouldn't be here before 10.

I have lots of things to do in town.

I need to leave early.

I didn't expect to cause any problems.

What did Sofia tell you?

Nothing.

Yeah, I know he is a bit nuts but she makes good money

and she pays well for her whims.

What's that?

I don't know.

Help me! Help me!

Tom!

Come here! Quickly!

Margaret is in very bad shape!

Phone the doctor!

We couldn't do anything.

It's a clear case of accidental poisoning.

I must tell the police.

But it will be just a routine investigation.

I will be a witness.

Don't worry, you won't be in trouble.

Don't worry, I know my way.

I will keep a vigil.

It's better if you wait by the dock.

I don't want to leave you alone.

Please, do as I say.

Hi. Are you feeling better?

Yes. Sit down.

Did you find anything?

No. It's like he had vanished from Earth.

One day he will have to leave the country.

Will he do it officially?

I mean, by plane or by ship.

Like a normal traveler.

Ralph does not have to hide.

He is not a wanted man.

Then I will know when he books a ticket. I have warned my informants.

Better for you if that's the case.

I understand you want to settle matters with Ralph

but it would be more productive going after the American.

Whatever Tom Bredd had, Ralph must have gotten it by now.

Besides, I'm looking forward to find that son of a bitch!

Don't lower your guard.

Are you already in bed?

You never wait for me.

Did you have supper?

I'm asking if you had supper!

Talk to me!

Margaret!

Who are you? What are you doing here?

Let me go!

Let me go!

What are you doing?

Let go of me!

You dog!

You bastard!

Let me go!

I told you to let me go!

Let me go!

Where are you taking me?

Let me go!

What do you want from me?

Let go of me!

You killed Margaret, and you poisoned me!

No!

Have mercy! I haven't done anything!

No! No!

No, please!

I didn't do anything!

Save me! I swear you are mistaken!

Pull me out!

Help!

Help!

How are you?

No change.

I can't wait for them to pick me up.

The cops will be here tomorrow due to Margaret's death.

They will also notice Sofia's absence at her workplace.

We must leave immediately.

Talk to the cargo ship Poinciana's captain.

He is my friend.

Pay for our travel with that money.

Here.

Here are the car keys. Take the one behind the house.

I'll take Sofia's.

Let me stay with you. You are very sick.

If you really love me, do as I say.

Listen to me.

Go to Macoris.

At the ruins of the little palace

go in to the left

there is a corridor. Go through it until the end

In a room you will find a concrete bench.

Under the bench there is a briefcase.

It's very important.

Go and get it, we'll meet later.

And you?

I'll rest for a few hours, then I'll get enough strength to make it to the ship.

Where you will be waiting for me.

OK?

If I'm not there by 9

that means all went wrong.

The you have to take the ship

and leave.

I want that to be a memory from me.

You come with me.

No, I would be an obstacle.

It's better if I recover and go to the docks myself.

Take care of yourself

Remember ...

If I'm not there by 9

don't wait any longer for me.

Leave without me.

But ...

Promise you will do it.

It was all a performance, Tom Bredd.

I've never been so healthy in my life.

But the doctor said...

There is no doctor. There was never one.

He was Robert Bryan, my boyfriend.

Those pills poisoned you even further

when you rejected the food I made for you.

- I'm going to ...! - See what I got?

Instead of being with a failure thief like you, I'll be rich.

- Why didn't you kill me? - I needed to know where the loot was.

Pretending I was poisoned you would not suspect.

By the time you arrive to the ruins

Jacqueline will be on her way to the docks with the gems.

Don't believe that, darling. Robert, my boyfriend, is awaiting her by the ruins.

Remember you talked about her.

Well, you saw that Robert is a resourceful guy.

Tom, darling, I wish you a happy night with the alligators.

I planted bait for them to pay you a visit.

That won't save you. You have enough poison in your body to die like a dog!

No! Tom!

No, please!

Don't leave me here!

Don't leave me here! No!

Tom!

Tom, please!

Come back! Come back! Help me!

I beg you, Tom!

Help!

Help! Help!

Help!

Please! Help!

Where are your eyes?

You are drunk! You cannot drive that way!

What's that?

This drunk almost kills me!

- Believe me, I'm not drunk. - Show me your papers!

Tom Bredd.

An American citizen.

Agent! Take him to the hospital for a blood test!

- Please believe me. I'm not drunk. - We'll see that.

- Let me go, I have an urgent date. - Do as I say!

- I'll give you anything! - You heard him? Attempt of bribery.

Those foreigners think money fixes everything.

Let's go!

Filthy gringo!

Give me that, beauty.

Doctor, what are you doing here?

I told you to give me the briefcase!

- I need to give it to its owner. - It's mine, give it to me!

Wait! I don't want to hurt you!

It would have been better if you had given me the briefcase!

Now I'm going to have some fun!

Let me go!

You hit me and you will pay for that!

You will enjoy it if you cooperate.

You are very sick, sir.

Massive poisoning.

I don't understand how you are still alive.

I brought you these pills. Take one right now.

Then can I go?

No way, you must go to the hospital.

Is there alcohol?

No alcohol, no drugs.

- I thought I had to bring him here. - You did the right thing.

You probably saved his life.

You did your duty and we will do ours.

That man won't leave until he has recovered.

Thank you, doctor.

I've got the information.

Tom Bredd's ticket was purchased by certain Jacqueline Duprett.

Apparently she will travel with him

in the Poinciana, which will depart in 1/2 hour.

Jacqueline? What do you know about her?

No criminal record and nobody knows her.

Nice camouflage. What kind of baggage did she carry?

Just a small briefcase.

- Green? - Yes.

Do you know her?

Ralph did not find Tom.

- What's in that briefcase? - None of your business!

You take me to the ship's gangway Take this, and your job is completed.

Take this.

Miss, we are going to leave. Your friend will miss the sailing.

He'll be here soon.

- Jacqueline Duprett? - Yes?

Tom Bredd cannot come.

Why not?

Is he worse?

No ...

Just a small setback.

He'll take the next sailing.

I'll leave you with him.

Give me the briefcase.

What's this about?

A very dangerous matter.

Just obey and don't think.

Tom wants you to leave alone.

Yes
