Indochina 1954

Water!

Water!

Stay away from me, you slant-eyed apes!

Curse of Snakes Valley

Thanks.

Merci.

Boss! Look, it's him.

You know, this Pole who's been dropping by here for a couple of months.

It says he's a famous scholar. He discovered some famous manuscripts in Sorbona.

This guy? - Yes.

Hope you don't mind if I buy you a glass of cognac, professor.

How do you know I'm a professor?

I recognized you immediately on the cover.

You know, I don't drink, but, well...

And here are some examples prooving my hypothesis is true.

The Chinese origns of temple writing.

Here...

You can see this incredible ornamental design...

and special shading of the characters...

...it was possible thanks to an advanced...

It was possible thanks to high quality paper...

...on which this late 13th century manuscript was painted.

Next.

This picture from the 15th century depicts a monk who's painting hieroglyphs...

What's this?

How did it get here?

Turn on the light!

Where did you get this from? - I don't know!

Where did you get this from? - It was laying among your photographs.

Whose this?

I'm asking you where did you get this from?

The lecture is over. See you next week.

I put it there.

Where did you get this from?

I've been waiting for you for 30 years.

For me? Why?

Cause you're the only scholar who believes in existence of Prakravanit culture

and who knows Prakravanit language.

Have you got it?

Where is it?

Here's the original.

Where did you get this manuscrypt from?

It's been completely unknown!

It's a loot....

From Indochina.

Yes...

I'm sure.

It's a classical example of Krumvanit language...

...from an ancient culture of Prakravanit.

This language has been used by the secret monks who guarded the sacred relics.

I've been called a psycho who believes in myths.

And now this priceless manuscrypt...

...it confirms my theory.

You must inteprete it. - Sure...

...but I need some time.

I must examine it in the laboratory

to find out the date of it's origin.

Please visit me in the laboratory... - Of course, professor.

But I want to keep this manuscript.

Deng will show you the door.

Excuse me... For how long have you been working for Bernard Traven?

Professor! Don't waste your time asking questions.

He's had his tongue cut out.

It looks like there's another manuscript inside of this one.

We need to take it out.

It won't be easy. We'd have to cut it.

It's a very precious piece of art. It's you who has to decide what to do.

I already took the decision.

Here's a highly complicated appliance.

I constructed it myself.

Can you smell it?

Sure.

It's a very strong smell.

It's very strange indeed... ...this smell.

This smell...

That's how jungle smells.

It's fear...

It's a smell of fear!

Water in the jungle evaporates.

Can you interpret it, professor?

It's definitely in the same style like the outer manuscript.

Look.

Here!

Similar characters.

PAL...

...and DOK have similar accents.

What happened to the lighning?

I need to inform the porter.

It's working now! - Thanks, Paul!

Hello! Operator?

Watch out, professor!

If you by any chance remember something

please call me.

I still can't believe it!

Poisonous snakes, here in Paris!

Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Do you want me to pick you up, professor? - No, thank you.

You're a hell of a driver!

- I know. And who are you? Inspektor Borzho.

Christine Zhober, "Francoise". What happened here?

How do you know we've got a little problem here?

I don't want to reveal my sources.

You've got a dead man here. How did he die?

While fixing the cords.

He fell off the ladder. Good bye now.

Please give me the film. Now!

You won't publish those photos anyway.

Good afternoon, professor.

I've been waiting for you.

I'm sorry. I don't meet students in private.

But I'm not a student!

Christine Zhober, "Francoise".

What happened at the University?

I've got nothing to say about it. - You were a witness and someone died there.

Please contact the police. - You must tell me what happened there!

I don't have to tell you anything. And now leave me alone.

A way to the cave of power and force

in the vally of thousands of snakes.

If you haven't been killed by my guards

the good and the bad. Go!

The stone - the head of a snake.

Touch it - don't touch it.

Hit it... - "Khuman".

The treasure is the great weapon.

You'll conquere the world, if you release the great power,

if you're good. If you're bad - you'll die.

A new life will emerge.

Those words have many meanings.

Why don't you translate this word,

I had a lot of problems with it.

"KHUMAN"

It has no equivalent in any European languages.

Don't forget it's a secret temple writing.

In this context "khuman" appears to be a special element showing the way.

But also a dangerous obstacle.

Lurking for some daredevil.

What's going on, Dank?

Hope you don't mind if I leave now.

Professor!

Isn't it interesting, that...

...since we found this manuscript snakes are appearing...

They are attacking us. - There's something about snakes in this manuscrypt.

Valley of thousands of snakes.

Professor, what do you say if we go there together?

Professor! - Good morning!

I can drive you if you like.

Thanks, I want to have a walk. - Do you mind if I join you?

May I ask you a favour?

Please call this number: 28-812-25...

...and ask for Jan Tarnas. Professor Jan Tarnas. Clear?

Thanks, bye!

Goodbye.

I'm back.

So you're saying that it apparently snakes are attacking this manuscript?

Yes. - Excuse me, professor, there's a phonecall for you.

For me? Excuse me.

I'll be back in a minute.

Just a stupid joke.

Bernard Traven. Born in 1926, Marseille.

Served as a pilot in the Indo-China war. He was a helicopter pilot.

Wounded twice in Laos.

Since 1954r in Algeria.

Retired in 1960. Highest rank - major.

Then he shows up in Kongo.

This guy next to Kongo president is Traven.

In early seventies he's been seen with emperor Bokassa.

Officialy he was a political advisor.

But in fact he was smuggling diamonds.

Frequently visiting Paris all that time. He's even got a house here.

Some know him as an old manuscript collector.

This is the only picture of him we've got.

And the other guy?

He's a Pole. Teaching oriental studies.

For 2 years having his scholarship in France.

Unfortunately we haven't got the slightest idea about his connections with Traven.

Apart from equal passion for old manuscripts.

Ok then.

Please continue.

When that journalist finished the article

we routinely checked it.

And we found an interesting photocopy of an old Laotan manuscript.

I heard that when he and that Pole were examining it....

This accident with snakes happened.

Get to the point.

There was a strange ornament on this manuscript.

It was very unusual. Our analysts claim

it looks like a perforation tape or something...

...which you use for saving computer programs.

They translated it into the computer langueage.

And you know what happened? - No, go ahead.

What's this? - It's a molecular structure of cerium, lanthanum and neodyniu.

This kind of allouy you can make only in vacuum.

As far as I know neither Russians nor Americans have conducted such tests.

This getting more and more interesting

Please let me also mention that in this manuscript...

some terrible weapon is mentioned.

Interesting...

Hey, please don't interrupt the editor in chief!

Didn't my secretary tell you that I'm busy?

Yes she did, but I must know what did you to to my material?

What material?

This story with snakes at the University. I had half the page booked for it!

Sorry, never heard of your material.

I don't know. I'm not a leading editor.

Please ask him about it.

But he's not here!

Please, be calm.

We're going to solve that matter.

Besides, I'm really busy at the moment.

Miss Zhober!

Miss Zhober!

I understand why you're anxious.

I looked through your article. It's very interesting.

Did you read it? - Yes.

So where is it now?

It might have got stucked somewhere...

And who are you?

Let's say I'm acting on behalf of the publisher.

I've got a proposal for you.

I'm listening.

I advise you that you should visit the old glass factory

...right after you go to the old monastyrs.

...it's nearby.

Of course.

If we have enough time, of course.

Mr Yong.

I'd like to ask you for something.

We're looking for someone to help us with the transport.

We want to rent a 4WD.

I'm terribly sorry.

Unfortunately you're late. The only 4WD has been just rented

...by a journalist from Europe.

He came to make reportage here.

You can't get through jungle by normal car.

Maybe there's a car rental somewhere here?

I can pay you well.

I'm sorry, we've got very few cars over here.

I can organize a guide for you though.

Our man, Mr Numi.

He'll be your company.

Sirs, I hope that you'll have a pleasant journy with such company.

Is that necessary?

Unfortunately it is.

But please don't think we're suspicious. We're just taking care of our visitors.

100 000 for renting a bus? That's crazy!

They'll use and abuse every situation.

You must get accustomed to it, professor.

Professor!

Oh, Jesus!

Do you know her?

No. She knows me.

How much do you want for that crate?

You gotta be joking.

I can pay you well.

You can have it under one condition.

What condition?

I'm going with you.

No way!

So nothing doing.

Ok, I agree

...but you've got to promise you'll not write anything about our expedition.

I'm sorry, it's me who lays down conditions here.

Hello. - How can I help you?

I want to send a telegram to Paris. - Here you are.

I'll send it in a minute. - Thanks.

Give me that telegram! Now!

I can't do it. It's confidential.

Let me go!

And? - She sent a telegram to her editorial office.

The're going to a Lernoht monastery tomorrow.

It's far away. You're staying here and I'm going back to Paris.

And there were no roads here?

It was all jungle here before.

Only partisans knew secret paths.

Just like my father. He knew all the roads and paths here.

Even the way to that monastery we're going to now.

Who knows the way now?

Hey, are you OK?

Good morning. - Good morning.

You don't recognise me, do you?

No.

And now? - No.

King f8 - g7.

f8 - g7? - Yeah, checkmate!

Careful, I'm dirty.

What ere you doing here?

For how many years we haven't seen each other?

For 15 years. - 15 years.

Where are you heading? - Lernoht monastery.

You've got a long way ahead.

I'm living nearby.

Take me with you. I invite you for dinner.

We're invited for dinner.

Hold on.

Let me grab my things.

Who's that guy?

My Russian friend.

Did you know he's gonna be here?

No.

I don't like your pals.

Mr Traven! Pleasy hurry up, the hot water is nearly over!

I'm conming

I've been always interested in Far East.

I've been waiting so long for this moment.

Then I was interested in Tibetan philosophy,

...yoga.

It's nearly a year since I started work in the middle of Asia, and you know what?

...I knew nothing! Absolutely nothing!

And what are you doing here? Tourist?

Strolling, looking. Are you looking for something?

Maybe.

Look at her.

What happened?

Nothing special. Take it easy.

What are you looking at?

Stop!

It's a latest invention of our biochemists.

It paralyses the snakes without making harm to other beings.

Professor, we might need some of those. Can we buy some?

I'm sorry.

We've got just few more left.

We're camping here.

This is Lernoht? Where's the monastery?

A mile from here.

But you can't get there by car.

Besides it's getting dark.

I brought it with me by night.

I didn't want Numi realise we're coming here not just for a visit to the monastery.

So where are we going?

You'll see when whe get there.

He says there's no such valley.

Tell him,

...thet we'll return all the manuscripts stolen from the monastery.

If they show us the way to the valley of power and force.

He says that noone has ever crossed that valley - Bullshit!

We just need a guide.

"We need those holy manuscripts as we need water and air"

"Without them we can't look into eternity"

"I must consult it with my brothers"

Fine, but let him be quick. If they don't agree I'm gonna destroy these manustripts.

They agree. That monk will show us the way.

The old man wants to know how they get the manuscripts back if we don't return.

We'll be back. For sure.

Christine! What heppened?

It's ok now.

He's saying that noone who went further on came back.

Help me!

Hold my hand!

Khuman?

Do you remember the manuscript? "Khuman" for three times.

I didn't translate that word back then.

The monk said that "Khuman" is something that goes up or down.

Something that shows the way.

And has destructive power.

Here's the land of power and force.

Nothing comes under the earthy laws here.

...and noone can be sure of his fate.

He's saying that from this point we're going alone.

The first "Khuman" is pointing at the valley.

Only two more remain.

Hey, look what I've found!

You're a genius!

Traven, pass me the case!

It's working!

Christine! Are you ok?

I'm fine. Throw me the rope!

We're coming for you!

Christine! What happened?

Wait, I'm coming!

What happened?

Traven! Help us!

Catch it!

The gas containers!

Jesus Christ!

They're not working!

You should have them unlocked first!

Where did he get them from?

Buturlin didn't want to sell them to us!

It looks like the snakes were guarding only the entrance to the dungeon.

Let's go then. - Quiet! Don't move!

We'd be gone for good

Lasers in the temple?!

Are you sure it's a temple?

How shall we go further? - Please help me.

C'mon!

Christine, what's going on there? Come here quickly!

Those lasers were the second "Khuman".

And that's the third "Khuman".

It wants the manuscript!

Throw it away!

Stop!

A sarcophagus!

It's not a sarcophagus.

I'm starting to believe that the Earth was really visited by aliens.

This writing reminds me the one on the manuscript.

Power and force is here.

Hold on.

Don't touch it. Move back.

Hold it tight. I'll be right back.

Yeah!!!

I found an exit. Quickly!

It's ok now.

Traven!

Don't be stupid! Throw the rope down!

Here our way split, professor.

Did you think you were going back to Paris with me?

You were so naive, professor.

I needed you just to have this!

You son of a bitch!

Mr Traven!

You abandoned your friends in need.

An army officer should keep his word.

What's he saying? - If you take it with you...

...the end of the world is imminent!

Bullshit.

The monk is warning you that there's good and evil inside of this amphora.

Wisdom and power.

He's saying it was hidden here centuries ago by aliens.

If someone opens it, the fate of the world will be at stake.

You must return this amphora.

Tell him that I don't believe in fairytales.

Those are not fairytales. And even if they were

...this amphora belongs to our nation.

Well, if you force me...

Here you are.

What happened between you and Traven in the corridor?

Nothing. - Christine.

Traven lost a pilot's badge that he took from the helicopter.

Guess whose name was on it?

Captain Bernard Traven.

Why was he concealing that?

Do you think,

...that he stole the manuscripts himself?

I'm such a fool!

He's getting rid of witnesses.

Look!

Thank you, you saved us.

Here are your sacred manuscripts.

I can return them now as agreed.

The guy who was with you has the amphora from other solar system.

You've got to stop him!

Otherwise the curse of the snake valley

...will be put on the whole world.

Andrei, take a look!

Take the car and bring some help. I'm going there.

OK

Jan, Jan, can you hear me?

G8 - g9 Checkmate!

Goodbye.

Thanks a lot.

Take care.

You too take care.

Goodbye.

N�gemist!

I've got you now. And I will never return you.

I want to keep you.

You're mine now!

I'm so tired now.

But you'll give me force and power!

I will rule the world. You'll see.

You returned right on time.

Your plane is taking off at 5 o'clock.

And here are the souvenirs from the air lane.

Please.

Your friend, mr Traven is upstairs in his room.

Wait! He's gonna kill you!

Jan!

We've got to get out of here. It's a second murder since we came here.

Wait, I'm gonna take a picture.

Are you crazy? We'll get busted.

Do you want to rott in jail? - Oh, c'mon!

We're landing in Paris at 3 pm.

Enjoy your journey.

Fourth "Khuman".

What are going to do with it now?

We have a key which can let us rule the world now.

But what can you open with it?

Here are your keys.

And your papers.

Your car is right there. - Thanks.

Here, I'll be right back.

Christine. Did anything happen?

No.

Have you got anything to tell me?

Unfortunately nothing.

We tried different methods. He refuses to talk.

Wait.

What's the status of the tests?

Take a look at the results.

There somee container inside the amphora.

But what is it? - We don't know yet.

But it's made of cerium, lanthanium and neodymium. The alloy can't be made on Earth.

However I still can't say what's inside.

We've got to know that.

We can cut the amphora with laser and try out the new drill.

Ok, let's try.

Bring Tarnas here, now.

Get up, we're going.

Welcom, professor Tarnas.

Who are you? I'm protesting against such behaviour.

Did you rest after that tiring trip to ASia?

I demand seing my consul.

Cool down.

I'm sorry for such rough invitation,

...but I thought you would not drop me a visit of your own free will.

Why not?

I love get bashed.

I see that you preserved your sense of humour.

Let's get to the point.

Please sit down.

Here, please.

Please listen to me now. I'm representing an organisation...

...or association which carries out researches in different fields

...which are usually top secret.

We were interested in a discovery you made with major Traven.

Trave's dead now due to your interests.

That's the price included in the risk.

Can we proceed now? - We're starting in a minute.

It's your last chance to tell us what you've been concealing.

What's inside of this amphora?

I already told that I don't know.

I just know that if opening it may result in unpredictable consequences

Take a look at it.

There's a container inside of the amphora.

...it's made of alloy which can be produced only in space vacuum.

It wasn't made by buddhist monks, was it?

I don't know if they made it or not.

I can only tell you what was written in the manuscripts.

They mention some aliens

...who visited Earth with this container.

But what can it be?

What do you think?

It might be the knowledge of that civilisation

...encoded in some way.

We'll see if you're right. - Listen to me.

I'll tell you what the old monk said:

Bad people can only make the evil hidden here worse.

...and destroy the world.

Make sure if we're ready to reveal this secret.

We're going to open this container anyway.

But if there're some explosives inside

...you're gonna die with us.

Can we start now?

Wait.

You can start now, Morineau.

We made it.

I wonder what is it?

Watch out for your face!

It's burning like hell!

Don't touch him, run!

Biohazard alert!

Kill it immediately!

But it's mr Breecher!

It's not Breecher anymore!

Ho can you explain Breecher's mutation?

We found out that the liquid contained the unknown DNA code.

We believe that if it pervaded the ecosystem

...it would cause a serious biological disturbance.

...and creation of monstrous mutants.

Do you realise importance of this discovery to military sector?

The Polish proffessor brought biological weapon

...which you can only dream of.

If it got into enemy's hand the atomic blackmail would be nothing in comparison.

You'll rule the world,

...if you can release the power and force.

I'm sorry... what did you say?

I'm reading the Thai manuscript

...which started all this mess.

It's obvois that after Breecher's death

...we can't proceed with the experiments in Paris

We're moving to Mataiva atol.

You'll take the amphora in person.

It's in the container right here.

That's all.

Captain, look what's happening!

Operator, operator!

Shit. The radio is dead.

Leave me alone!

It's me, Yvonna.

Yvonna?

You don't remember me, Jan? You're tired, you should take rest.

Yeah.

How could I forget...

It's because of that...

...that terrible trip.

The jungle, the monks, the snakes.

It's just a bad dream.

You're reading too much of those old manuscripts.

I remember.

I was flying the plane and then we landed.

And then...

I forgot what happened next.

There was no jungle...

...no monks, no Asia, no snakes. It was a dream.

Forget about it.

You must forget it!

And you?

I was in your dream too?

It was a beautiful dream.

I fell in love with you...

...in my dream.

Christine.

He doesn't remember a thing.

Only the dead don't remember anything. And he's alive. Thanks to you.

He thinks it was just a dream.

And wasn't it just a dream?

Oh no. No more Asia!
