TRUMBULL
I'm not down here to interfere with police procedures, Colonel.  I have a responsibility to my employer, Lloyds of London.  We've insured many, many executives against kidnapping.  They know with millions of dollars at stake, that we'll come looking for them.  That's why I'm here to look for my client.  Without or without the help of your government.

TRUMBULL leaves the room.  The COLONEL picks up the phone.

68INT. HIDEAWAY ─ DAY68

An aerial inspection reveals the hideaway surrounded by lush, tropical vegetation.

OFF SCREEN:

PHONE RINGS.

GUARD answers.

69INT. HOLDING CELL ─ DAY69

Two GUARDS come in and grab STEVEN.  He struggles.

STEVEN
Where are you taking me?

The GUARDS respond tying his hands behind his back and taking him out of the room prodding him along with the barrels of their Uzis.  They move him down the hall and right before taking him in a Jeep outside the door, they blindfold him.

GUARD

70EXT. MOUNTAINSIDE ROAD ─ DAY70

STEVEN is sitting in the back seat shaking up and down.

70CONTINUED:70

P.O.V. STEVEN:

Through his eye slit he can see the two guards at the wheel of the Jeep.  They are about to make a sharp turn.  Just as they do, he reaches his feet over the seat and kicks the driver in the back of the head.  He momentarily loses control and goes off the incline.  STEVEN is knocked to the floor.

CUT TO:

The Jeep rolls down a fairly steep hill and comes to a crash at the bottom some 200 feet down.  Both guards are thrown out of the vehicle.

TIME ELAPSE:

The sun is setting.  A monkey swings down from a tree to inspect the vehicle.  He is joined by several others.  They shriek.  A large snake slithers over the hood covered by foliage.

CLOSE UP:

STEVEN'S face is cut.  He wakes up.  A bone in his arm is protruding through the skin.  He moans and kicks at the door.  It opens.  He struggles out, looks at his arm and moans.

STEVEN leans against the sharp metal of the car with his back and bends up and down lacerating the rope holding his hands.  The rope breaks free.  The monkeys come close showing their teeth.  He uses his good arm and throws a branch at them.  They retreat to a safer distance.

STEVEN sits in the jungle.  His hands are still tied with some rope.  He takes the rope and the arm with the bone protruding.  He ties to the door handle and pulls until the bone goes back in the skin.  He takes a board and fashions a small splint.

He stops and listens.  OVERHEAD, a plane goes by.

It is rapidly getting dark.  He takes the gun and ammo belt off the guard and strips him of his coat as well.

71INT. BEACH HOUSE ─ DAY71

The phone rings while WAYNE, sitting with a beautiful Ecuadorian girl, sips a tropical drink.  THOMAS is swimming naked with another girl in the pool off the veranda.

WAYNE walks up and gets the phone.

WAYNE
Yeah, he's here, but he's swimming.  Can you call back later . . . (the doorbell rings)

WAYNE
(answers the door)
Thomas, the Colonel's on the phone.

THOMAS
Can't it wait?

WAYNE
(looks out at TRUMBULL)
Can I be of help?

TRUMBULL
Is this the residence of Thomas Dalton?

WAYNE
Yes.  (Trumbull thrusts a card into his hand.)  Lloyds of London.  Aren't you that big insurance firm?

TRUMBULL
Much more than that, but yes, and you're . . .

WAYNE
Wayne Hammond, one of the divers . . .

TRUMBULL
Well, Mr. Hammond, may I come in . . .

WAYNE
Sure, just wait a moment.  Thomas was swimming.  Give him a minute to get dressed.  (Shows him into an office.)  Have a seat in here.

72INT. OFFICE ─ NIGHT72

THOMAS talks on the phone.  TRUMBULL watches him through the window.  He also watches WAYNE walk up and hand him a card.  He is amused to find Thomas naked.  They both look in the direction of the office window.

TRUMBULL lights up a pipe and sits down.  On the table before him is spread the treasure map.  He studies it and sees the name Pizzaro on it. . . . Moments later, the door opens up and THOMAS DALTON walks in with a loose, white shirt and pants and his hair still wet.

THOMAS
Sorry to keep you.  I was swimming.  (He extends his hand.)

TRUMBULL
(ignores the hand)
I won't take much of your time.  Our company, Lloyds of London, is carrying a full package on your brother.  As the director of the company, when your father died, the package automatically went to the beneficiary.  A few facts about your brother's disappearance puzzles me . . .

THOMAS walks over and opens a wall cupboard stocked with liquor.

THOMAS
Can I offer you a drink?

TRUMBULL
No thanks, but go right ahead . . .

THOMAS, with his back to him, pours himself a drink while TRUMBULL keeps on talking.

TRUMBULL
I am wondering how many people had access to the information that Steven was on that American Airlines flight from Miami.  It is strict international airline policy not to divulge passenger lists.

THOMAS puts on a serious face, takes a drink and turns around.
(CONTINUED)

72CONTINUED:72

THOMAS
I don't know how many knew he was on the flight.  I didn't even know when he was coming in until after Lucy called me.  Wayne and I were out that day when their flight arrived and didn't get back till almost dark.

TRUMBULL
Why haven't you hired any private investigators to help find your brother?

THOMAS
Mr. Trumbull, obviously you haven't met Lucy.  She has gone to every newspaper, private detective, police agency and done nothing but muddy up the water.  She has made a general nuisance of herself . . .

TRUMBULL
Is that why your associate has encouraged her to return to America?

THOMAS
I can't see any possible good she will do down here, but no, she's going back on family business.  This is a family business.  She and my brother own a considerable stake.

TRUMBULL
On the contrary, I have met your sister-in-law.  I applaud her for her efforts in trying to discover what happened to her husband.  What doesn't make sense to me is why you have made no efforts.

THOMAS
I'm in contact with the Minister of the Interior almost daily. . . . I've made many inquiries.

(CONTINUED)

72CONTINUED:72

TRUMBULL
You are the one who stands to benefit the most from your brother's disappearance.  Lucy explained that his share would be divided between you and your mother.  Isn't that correct?

THOMAS
Yes . . .

TRUMBULL
(picks up his hat)
Perhaps you wish your brother . . .

Door opens.  Buxom Ecuadorian girl puts her head in.

MARIA
Thomas, you told me no business tonight.

REACTION SHOT:

TRUMBULL
Well, perhaps it is time I cut my visit short.

CAMERA FOLLOWS TRUMBULL leaving the room.  WAYNE immediately comes in the room.  MARIA is standing behind THOMAS massaging his shoulders.

THOMAS
I'm sorry, Maria, tonight is just not going to be a good night.  Why don't you and your sister go back home and we'll pick you up later and go to Los Tradorrios Disco.  (He grabs her hand firmly to stop her from massaging his neck.)

MARIA
O.K.

MARIA exits the room.

WAYNE
What's so serious . . .

THOMAS
Do you know why the Colonel called?
(CONTINUED)
72CONTINUED:72

WAYNE
More dinero . . .

THOMAS
No, they were moving Steven to a new place and the Jeep's disappeared along with the guard and Steven.  He's got air surveillance out right now looking for them.

WAYNE
Shit.

THOMAS
Exactly.  My brother's not exactly the Rambo type, but I've never known him to lay down and die either.  Dad always pushed him to the max.  If he makes it back alive.

WAYNE
He can't . . .

THOMAS
What do you mean can't . . .

WAYNE
Look, if you would have listened to me, it would have been done right.  No kidnapping, no looking over your shoulder.  We've got to tell the Colonel not to take him alive.  He's going to put two and two together.  He's going to figure we were in on his kidnapping, especially with government planes looking for him.  You've got to tell the Colonel to have him killed on sight.  We're talking about millions of dollars.  Are you going to let your little brother spoil that for us?  We're the ones who are going to end up in prison.  Down here they put you in prison for life for much less.  Your brother's got to die.  It's as simple as that.

STEVEN steps over a small stream as an aircraft goes screaming overhead.  He stoops down and grabs a handful of water.  He lets it roll down his face.

CUT TO:

74INT. HOTEL BATHROOM ─ DAY74

LUCY stands in the shower letting the water rush over her head.  She is singing to herself and barely hears the phone ringing.  She turns off the shower, hears it and steps up wrapping herself with a towel and grabs the phone.

LUCY
Hello . . .

COLONEL
Señorita Dalton, this is Colonel Enriquez.  You asked me to call if anything came up about your husband.  We have some news.

LUCY
Yes.  (She bites her nails.)  Is he still alive?

COLONEL
We have some news that a man fitting his description was seen near the Colombian border.  They did not give a totally positive identification.  It's a very dangerous territory.  He was seen near the main drug smuggling road.  Even our own army avoids that area.  Señorita Dalton, was your husband ever involved in drug smuggling?

LUCY
No, he barely even drank.  He hated drugs.  Why would he do drugs?  He was left a fortune.

(CONTINUED)

74CONTINUED:74

COLONEL
We are sending a car to the hotel to pick you up . . .

LUCY
I'm just getting out of the shower.  It'll take me about thirty minutes to get ready.

LUCY hangs up the phone.  She fumbles for a card and finds the card of Lloyds of London, DANIEL TRUMBULL.

She picks up the receiver and dials.

75INT. HOTEL LOBBY ─ DAY75

LUCY, wearing a scarf to cover her head, meets with DANIEL TRUMBULL by the newsstand.  He watches her leave when the police come and pick her up.

76EXT. HOTEL ─ DAY76

The limousine takes LUCY towards the office of COLONEL ENRIQUEZ.  They don't notice a small Fiat following several lengths behind.  LUCY is sitting in the back seat by herself and moves to get a better position.  She looks puzzled and the camera pans down.

CLOSE UP:

LUCY'S hand pulls out a pack of peanuts wedged in the seat with an AMERICAN AIRLINES logo on them.  She pulls out her makeup bag, smiles at the driver, and adjusts her face.  Then she places the bag of peanuts in her purse.

77INT. COLONEL'S OFFICE ─ DAY77

On the wall is a huge map of Ecuador with areas in different colors.  The COLONEL is pointing out where Steven was last seen.

COLONEL
These pictures were taken this morning.  There are not too many Ecuadorians with blonde hair.

(CONTINUED)

77CONTINUED:77

INSERTS: Four black and white photos of a blonde man.  In one he is covering his face.  He is carrying a submachine gun and a small backpack.

LUCY
That has to be him.  How did you get these photos?

COLONEL
Your country has been very generous and supplied us with many high tech surveillance instruments for combatting the drug industry.  Are you sure it's him?

LUCY takes the photos and walks over to him.

LUCY
See this behind the ear?  It's a mole─identical to the one Steven has.  I'm positive.  Have you sent a team to rescue him?

COLONEL
You don't understand.  You see those plants around him?  That's a huge marijuana plantation.  We can't fly in there.  Señorita Dalton, why is your husband fully armed hiding from our government planes in the middle of a marijuana plantation?

LUCY takes the photo and puts it in her purse.  She stands.

LUCY
What you are saying is preposterous.  Maybe he escaped from his kidnappers.  But damn it, I want a helicopter to rescue my husband or . . .

LUCY stops in mid sentence when she looks at COLONEL ENRIQUEZ'S face─that of a man in control─TOTAL CONTROL.

(CONTINUED)

77CONTINUED:77

COLONEL
You are a guest in our country, Señorita Dalton.  Visitors are not allowed on our military aircraft.  We have every intention of finding him.  There are many questions that he'll have to answer.  We will bring him in, Ms. Dalton.  One way or another.  Perhaps you should be looking for a good lawyer.  He will most likely need one when we get him.  Even as we speak, we have dispatched a team into the mountains to find him.  They have instructions to bring him back alive, but if he fires on them, most likely they will bring him back dead.  You'd better pray your husband has enough sense not to fire on my troops.

LUCY leaves the room.

78EXT. GOVERNMENT BUILDING ─ MORNING78

LUCY walks out into the front and starts to hail a cab and is instead picked up by TRUMBULL in the Fiat.

TRUMBULL

Get in quick . . .

LUCY

The car speeds away.

79INT. FIAT ─ DAY79

LUCY

It's Steven.  He's been spotted.

TRUMBULL
(takes his eyes off the road while at a stop sign)
You sure?

(CONTINUED)

79CONTINUED:79

LUCY
One hundred percent.  Only now they have soldiers hunting him down.  Dead or alive, Enriquez doesn't really care.

TRUMBULL
I had my office do a little background on Colonel Enriquez.  His family had the largest marijuana plantation in Ecuador.  Now they own the airline, television stations, luxury hotels . . .

LUCY
The Minister of the Interior.

TRUMBULL
Yeah, his brother-in-law is the president.  Did they pinpoint where they spotted him?

LUCY
I just saw it briefly on a map.

TRUMBULL
Look, I can probably get us a private chopper to fly in.

LUCY
I want to go.  I know he's out there by himself fighting for his life.  I want to go with you.  I couldn't take sitting here not knowing what was happening.

TRUMBULL
You got any other clothes?

LUCY
Yeah, back at the hotel.

TRUMBULL
Check out, pay your bill, put on jeans, boots, a jacket.  I'll line up a chopper.

79CONTINUED:79

They pull up at her hotel.

TRUMBULL
Don't say anything . . .

LUCY grabs the peanuts and shows them to TRUMBULL.

TRUMBULL
No thanks . . .

LUCY
I found them in the back of the limousine.

TRUMBULL
So . . .

LUCY
We had just flown in on American Airlines.  Steven always saves his peanuts from the flight.

TRUMBULL
Get your clothes and get out of your room fast.

81INT. HANGAR ─ NIGHT81

LUCY
Why all the secrecy?

TRUMBULL
Your friend, the Colonel, has many ears and eyes.  If he knew we were out looking for your husband, he would most likely have us shot down.

TRUMBULL opens the door on the side of the helicopter and helps LUCY inside.  He takes a black leather bag out of his case.  He hands the infrared glass to LUCY.

TRUMBULL
Try these on.

CAMERA SWITCHES TO heat sensitive film of the motor and a vague outline of TRUMBULL.

LUCY
Where'd you get these?

TRUMBULL
Lloyds is a very well connected company.  We have people in every country that do our bidding.  Their courtesy of your government for stopping the smugglers.  I'll need you to wear them when we near the area.  Are you sure you remember the name of the town?

LUCY
Yes, it was a small city near Am Bato.  I'm quite positive.

They both sit in the helicopter as a small vehicle tows it out.

DISSOLVE TO:

84EXT. INCA RUINS ─ NIGHT84

STEVEN is nursing his arm and falls down a slippery rock into a collection of old stone buildings.  The moon is full.  He surveys where he is and crawls into one to sleep.

DISSOLVE TO:

The moon has changed positions in the sky and a SOLDIER comes through the ruins.  He steps on a rock which slides and makes a bit of a noise.  He crouches and moves in front of the building that STEVEN is in.

CLOSE UP:

A glint of light flashes from the blade.  Camera pulls back and reveals STEVEN behind him.  Quick as a rattlesnake, the knife is pulled in front of the SOLDIER'S throat and he falls silently to the ground.  STEVEN  drags his body into the building.

CAMERA FOLLOWS several other soldiers walking through the ruins.  The helicopter passes overhead.

P.O.V. INFRARED GLASSES

The screen flashes an infrared image of silhouette moving rapidly.

LUCY
We have a lot of movement down there.

TRUMBULL
How many?

LUCY
I see seven soldiers.

TRUMBULL
I'll chart it.  We'll have to come back when it's light enough to find a place to land.

LUCY
What if he's down there?

(CONTINUED)

84CONTINUED:84

TRUMBULL
You'd just better pray that his luck won't run out before we can get him the hell out of here.

The sound of a jet going by startles TRUMBULL.

TRUMBULL looks at the radar screen.

LUCY
What was that?

TRUMBULL
We've got company.  They way I look at it, we've got about two minutes before he comes back this way.  He was going too fast to turn any quicker than that.  We've got to risk putting down.

85EXT. SKY ─ NIGHT85

CAMERA FOLLOWS the jet streaking through the moonlit sky.  

CLOSE UP:

Pilot turning the controls.

CUT TO:

The helicopter drops down considerably and puts down in a small clearing on a hillside over the ridge from the mountains.  As soon as they land, TRUMBULL and LUCY drop out and run for cover.  Less than thirty seconds later, a rocket explodes into the side of the helicopter sending it into a ball of flames.  TRUMBULL and LUCY are knocked by the explosion.

TRUMBULL
They'll be coming up to see if there are any survivors.  We'd better . . .

LUCY puts her fingers to his lips.

85CONTINUED:85

P.O.V.  LUCY sees an Ecuadorian soldier stealthily approaching the wreck.  The fuel tanks on the wreck explode and seer him.  He runs away screaming because his flesh is on fire.  Two other soldiers try and put it out.  In the confusion, LUCY and TRUMBULL head down the hill towards the ruins.

CUT TO:

86INT. JET ─ NIGHT86

STEVEN with surprised look.

STEVEN
Who are you?

LUCY
It's the Lloyds of London agent.

TRUMBULL
(smiles)
Before we pay on any policies, we try our best to find out whether or not they're dead.  You seem to be quite alive, though not indeed too well.  (Trumbull touches his arm.)  That looks like a nasty break.

LUCY
What happened to you?

STEVEN
I was kidnapped.  They were moving me and I forced the Jeep off the road.  I think we all better move.  They'll send a lot more soldiers after tonight.  Was that your helicopter?

TRUMBULL
(smiles)
Rented . . . I'm afraid there's not much left.  We'll have to get out of here by foot.

STEVEN
There's a river not too far.  I saw it from the Jeep.  Maybe we could follow it.  It's got to lead to the coast.

(CONTINUED)

87CONTINUED:87

TRUMBULL
Our best bet is to get out of Ecuador.  You don't understand who it was that kidnapped you─Colonel Enriquez.

STEVEN
I know.  How did you find out?

LUCY
I found the airline peanuts in his limousine.  I went to him for help.  Your brother Thomas must have put him up to it.

TRUMBULL
I'm not much of tactician, but I bet from where we are now, we're only a two or three day walk to Colombia.  Let's climb up higher where I can get a better view.

88EXT. AIRFIELD ─ NIGHT88

OVERHEAD SHOT of lush, green jungle with a river running.  CAMERA PANS down to the three figures.

LUCY nearly loses her foot grip on a rock.  TRUMBULL reaches out.  He misses her.  She falls and begins to go over.  STEVEN reacts and extends his walking stick.

STEVEN
LUCY!

She grabs on the stick and STEVEN struggles with one arm.  He rests back against the rocks.  TRUMBULL recovers his balance and reaches over the ledge and pulls her up.  She has a gash on her face.  She immediately begins crying.

LUCY
This is crazy.  Why are we being hunted?  We haven't done anything.

TRUMBULL
(watches as Steven hugs her)
Miss, I've been to parts of the world where they'll kill you for the equivalent of two dollars.  It's just the way it is.  Our job isn't to ask why.  It's to get the hell out of here.

While they are drinking, A SMALL BOY wearing a loincloth and carrying a spear comes close to study them.  LUCY sees him and their eyes meet.  He begins to run off.  She motions with her hand "no."  He decides to study her further.

TRUMBULL
Be careful.  Some of these little bastards are from cannibal tribes.  He's probably never seen blonde hair like yours before.

LUCY
(Reaches over her neck and takes off her necklace.  She holds it out.)
Present . . . for you.

The boy shyly walks forward.  He is being very, very cautious.  Finally, he takes it.

CLOSE UP:

BOY'S FACE beams with a smile.  He imitates Lucy and puts it on around his neck.  He motions with his spear.  They follow him on a jungle path.

TRUMBULL
I'm not so sure this is a good idea.

STEVEN
Maybe they can guide us out . . .

LUCY
(to Trumbull
If we don't lay low and give Steven's arm some time to heal, he could lose it.

92EXT. MOUNTAINSIDE ─ DAY92

WAYNE and THOMAS are wearing jungle fatigues and walking with the soldiers down the mountainside.  An indian is serving as their tracker.  He stoops down to inspect the ground and points on the other side of the ridge.

WAYNE
I bet you'd never thought you'd be hunting your own brother down.

THOMAS
No, I didn't.  Look, I'm not too happy about it either. . . . I'm gonna make sure he gets taken alive.

SOLDIER
(in Spanish)
The tracker says that they have disappeared over the ridge into the jungle.  He says he will take us to the jungle but no farther.  He says it is the land of the KISMU.  They believe the more hearts they eat, the stronger they become.

WAYNE
Look, sergeant, or whatever the hell you are, this (points to his gun) is an Uzi.  Whatever the hell kind of weapons these Kismus have, they don't have this.  If the guide doesn't want to go, to hell with him.  Just don't spread what he said around and make the other men skittish.  Comprende?

WAYNE flashes a sadistic smile.

THOMAS
You're always so damn cocky.  Why can't you ever just chill out?

WAYNE
It's not just your neck on the line.  We'll never get to spend a dime of the treasure unless your brother is permanently silenced.

CAMERA PANS back as the fifteen men descend down the ridge towards the jungle.
93EXT. CLEARING ─ DAY93

LUCY, TRUMBULL and STEVEN enter into a big clearing.  All around them are huts.  The tribe, over three hundred, rush out to greet them.  Everyone runs their fingers through Steven's and Lucy's hair.  They are all smiling and seem very friendly.  The chief walks out.  He is wearing a loincloth and a tattered t-shirt that says WHEATIES BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS.

TRUMBULL
I believe someone has already discovered this lost tribe.

LUCY
(sarcastically)
Maybe whoever discovered them was their breakfast.  Steven, put down your gun.

STEVEN
I'm not so sure . . .

LUCY
Steven, if they had wanted to kill us, they would have long ago.  They probably have hundreds of darts they could have shot into our necks.

STEVEN looks at her and reluctantly puts down his gun.  Several look over and grab it.  It goes off accidentally and sends several water pots crashing to the ground and puts holes in other ones.

Several of the villagers look at the holes.  They begin murmuring amongst themselves.

The jet streaks by overhead.  Everyone looks toward the source of the noise.  

The village leader, FANTAYA, is a short, somewhat squatty man.  He is wearing a loincloth and his black hair is plastered to his head.  He motions to them to follow him.  They follow him to a large dwelling in the middle of the village.

93CONTINUED:93

FANTAYA
(in an Indian tongue)
Are you the missionaries that were supposed to come and help us with our school?  (He points to the gold cross dangling from Lucy's neck.)

LUCY sees him pointing to the cross.  She makes several hand motions and removes the cross around her neck.  Five or six other villagers, men, women and children, crowd around them.

MANNANNA (FEMALE INDIAN)
(in Spanish)
Are you the missionaries from America?  (She points to a well-worn bible.)

STEVEN understands her.

STEVEN
(in Spanish)
No, we are not.  We are Americans being hunted by the police who want to kill us.  Can you help us get to Colombia?

CAMERA CUTS TO:

Several women entering with bowls of food, fruit and a cooked gruel.  They place the bowls down in front of them.  The villagers all bow and pray over the food.  LUCY and TRUMBULL look puzzled.

TRUMBULL
I think these villagers have been introduced to Christianity.  Maybe many years ago.

STEVEN
They are asking us if we are missionaries.  If we've come to build them a school.

LUCY
What did you tell them?

(CONTINUED)

93CONTINUED:93

STEVEN
I told them no.  We were being hunted by the police.

FANTAYA

Many years ago the police and soldiers came and carried off many young women and boys.  We will protect you.

What's he saying?

TRUMBULL
Are we safe here?

STEVEN
He's saying that they will help us.

STEVEN
(to Mannanna in Spanish)
What is your name?

MANNANNA
(in Spanish)
My name is Mannanna.

STEVEN

Can you hide us from the soldiers?

MANNANNA nods eagerly.

LUCY, TRUMBULL and STEVEN begin to eat the food in front of them.  The villagers make plans and conversation amongst themselves.

THOMAS
Good . . .

WAYNE
You don't want to find them, do you?  Remember Thomas, you can be rich or you can be a convict.  It seems like a pretty crystal clear choice to me.

GOMEZ
This gorge is the home of the Kismus.  No white man ever goes in.  They are the fiercest tribe in all the mountains.  They believe in eating their enemy's heart while their enemy is still alive.  My men would prefer not to go in.

WAYNE
You tell any of your men that don't go with us, I'll personally put a bullet through their back when they try to leave. . . . (He allows him to translate to the other soldiers.)  Have I made myself understood?

WAYNE flashes a sick, toothy, somewhat psychotic grin.  He waves the muzzle of his Uzi and then descends down the gorge towards the jungle.  As they go down, a jet streaks overhead.

The chief is smiling and showing the gold cross around his neck.  He is holding it in the sunlight.  The diamond inset in the middle gleams and reflects the sunlight, causing a rainbow effect.  The villagers all gather around the woman MANNANNA.  MANNANNA reaches in the pouch around her neck and unfolds several pieces of paper.  She speaks to them in their native language.

(CONTINUED)

95CONTINUED:95

MANNANNA
Verily, I say to you, except ye be converted and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.  Whoever shall humble himself as this little child (she holds a village girl close to her), the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.  Whoever shall receive one little child in my name receives me . . .

As she is speaking, the villagers gather around.  The CAMERA PANS from her speaking, to the jungle . . .

96INT. JUNGLE ─ DAY96

THE SOLDIERS and WAYNE and THOMAS have entered the jungle.  Two of the soldiers in front are hacking away with their machetes.  A large boa slithers in front of one of them.  He screams and jumps back.

SOLDIER
Mother of God.

THE SOLDIER behind him opens up with a burst of automatic fire.

CUT TO:

97INT. JUNGLE ─ DAY97

OVERHEAD SHOT of the jungle as the gunfire reverberates and hundreds of birds fly into the sky in a slight panic from the noise.

THOMAS
Idiot . . .

WAYNE grabs the machete from the one soldier and leads the way himself.  The thick branches fly as WAYNE thrashes them like a madman.

The same child that met Lucy, Steven and Trumbull at the river watches from the bush as the soldiers approach the village.  He scampers back running along the path.

98EXT. VILLAGE ─ DAY98

The young boy, POOLU, runs up to MANNANNA as she is praying with all the villagers.  He speaks excitedly in their language.

POOLU
Many soldiers with guns are coming here.

The villagers all hear what he is saying.  They look to the chief for guidance.  The chief smiles at all of them.

CHIEF
(in native language)
We will stay here and pray they will not find our guests.

P.O.V. HUT

STEVEN takes a look out of the hut where they have been hidden.

99EXT. JUNGLE ─ DAY99

The eight soldiers and THOMAS and WAYNE stop not too far from the village.  The one sergeant takes his field radio and calls.

GOMEZ
Commander, we are going into the Kismu settlement.  We will not let him get away.  When we are done, we will need some additional supplies.  Our ammunition is running very low and we are nearly out of rations.  Over and out.

WAYNE
I can't believe they haven't spotted us.

GOMEZ
(finishes putting away the radio)
They move silently.  We have been watched since we entered this jungle.

THOMAS
Why have they not attacked?

(CONTINUED)

99CONTINUED:99

GOMEZ
I don't know.  (To the men.)  
Let's move out.

The men are noticeably nervous about going into the jungle.

100INT. HUT ─ DAY100

STEVEN is lying on a grass mat.  Several of the village elders are wrapping a mud pack and herbs around his broken arm.

101INT. VILLAGE ─ DAY101

As the villagers mill about cooking and doing their small daily tasks, the soldiers enter the village and walk into the middle.  The villagers crowd around them and part when the chief comes up to them.

GOMEZ
(in Spanish)
We are looking for a white man, blonde hair.  (He points to Thomas's hair.)  Have you seen him?

The CHIEF looks at him and smiles.

THOMAS
It's no use.  They don't understand Spanish.

WAYNE
(raises his submachine gun and fires into the overhanging trees)
Well, maybe they'll understand this.

The people jump back in shock and fear.

WAYNE walks up to the old man and knocks him about.

REACTION SHOT:

STEVEN looks from the hideout.  LUCY and TRUMBULL look out as well.

(CONTINUED)

101CONTINUED:101

STEVEN
I'm gonna give myself up.  If I don't, they'll slaughter these people.

LUCY
Don't . . . they might leave.  Please, Steven, your brother will kill you.

TRUMBULL
I can take some of them out.

STEVEN watches and sees WAYNE grabbing the necklace around the chief's neck.  WAYNE pulls it off.  THOMAS grabs it from him and sees: LUCY, LOVE FOREVER, STEVEN.

THOMAS
Where did you get this?  (He holds it up and asks the chief.)

MANNANNA steps out.

MANNANNA
I understand your language.  These people came to our village.  They are not here anymore.

WAYNE
(Takes out his knife.  It glistens in the sunlight.  He holds it against the throat of the chief.  The tribe reacts in horror.)
Look, chief, you can tell us where they are or I'll slit your throat.

The soldiers level their guns to keep the villagers from defending the chief.  They watch the drama helpless to do anything about it.

CLOSE UP:

The knife blade is being drawn across the neck of the chief very slowly.  Several drops of blood flow . . .

OFF CAMERA, LUCY screams.

LUCY
No, no Steven . . .

(CONTINUED)

101CONTINUED:101

CUT TO:

STEVEN walks out from the hut.  LUCY, with a gun, raises it to fire at the troops.  Before she can get it up in the air, she is gunned down by the soldiers.  The firing stops.  STEVEN turns in slow motion and watches as the bullets tear into her flesh bringing her to her knees.  She drops her gun and reaches out to him.  He rushes back and catches her as she falls dying to the ground.

REAL TIME:

STEVEN
Lucy, Lucy . . . (he sobs)

STEVEN is immediately surrounded by the soldiers and THOMAS and WAYNE.

STEVEN
(looks Thomas in the eye)
Is that what you wanted?

THOMAS is visibly shook up.

THOMAS
No, why did you have to escape?  I didn't want anyone killed.

WAYNE
Thomas, move aside.  (He has his Uzi ready to blow him away.)

THOMAS
(stands up in front of Steven holding the dead body of Lucy)
No, I'm not letting you kill my brother.  We'll find a place to keep him alive.  We have enough money.  I don't want any more blood on my hands.

WAYNE
It's too late . . .

(CONTINUED)

101CONTINUED:101

THOMAS
No it's not. . . . (In Spanish)  Tie my brother up.  We will be moving him to another prison.  This time I'll make sure he doesn't escape.  Wayne, make sure she gets a decent burial. . . .

CUT TO:

102EXT. RIVER BED ─ DAY102

STEVEN is standing teary eyed as Lucy's body is lowered into a grave.  WAYNE walks over taunting STEVEN as the dirt is shoveled on top of Lucy's body.  He takes the cross and drops it into his front pocket and stands right in front of his face.

WAYNE
Something to remember her by.  (Smirks)  She was good, wasn't she?

STEVEN strains against his ropes to get at him.  He can't . . .

CUT TO:

103EXT. MOUNTAIN TOP ─ DAY103

The COLONEL lands a helicopter on top of the mountain overlooking the jungle.

The COLONEL walks out of the helicopter and takes out his binoculars.

P.O.V. COLONEL looking through the binoculars down at the ravine and jungle.

CUT TO:

104INT. JUNGLE ─ DAY104

STEVEN is being marched through the brush with WAYNE holding a gun to his back.

STEVEN
(nearly stumbles)
Owww.  (He falls on his broken arm.)

(CONTINUED)

104CONTINUED:104

THOMAS
(looks back)
Damn it, Wayne, give him some space . . . (Thomas lifts him up.)

CLOSE UP:

The two brothers exchange glances.  STEVEN nearly refuses THOMAS'S help.

THOMAS
Look, I'm sorry about what happened to Lucy.  I told her just to go back to the states.  She should have listened.

STEVEN
Is the money really worth it?  I mean, even five percent is a fortune for life.

CAMERA WIDENS.  WAYNE steps in.

WAYNE
You're damn right the money's worth it.  Why go for just a few million when you can have it all?  We're gonna have it all just like your family has while your brother was struggling to make it and you were cruising in the family yacht and living like a prince in a palace.

A MONKEY cackles in the background.

THE SKY grows darker as a silence falls noticeably over the fores.

GOMEZ approaches him.

GOMEZ
Señor Thomas, the men are very tired.  There is no point trying to get out of this jungle at night.  It is too dangerous.  It would be a good idea to . . .

THOMAS
O.K., have them set up camp.

(CONTINUED)

104CONTINUED:104

GOMEZ passes the word on in Spanish.  The soldiers put down their weapon packs and begin clearing a camp site.

105INT. VILLAGE ─ EVENING105

TRUMBULL sits with the village leader.  He has painted his face and is sitting with four other warriors also with painted faces.

TRUMBULL turns to MANNANNA and asks her in Spanish.

TRUMBULL
Why is the chief dressed like that?

MANNANNA
Whenever a man is stolen from a village, our custom calls for us to repay his life with another life.  (She points to the bowl that the warriors are dipping their small arrow tips into.)

TRUMBULL
They are going to avenge the death of the woman . . .

MANNANNA
Yes . . .

TRUMBULL
But it's been hours since the soldiers left with Thomas.

MANNANNA
This is our home.  When night falls, the enemy of our people will fall.

TRUMBULL picks up his gun and walks over to the chief.

THE CHIEF looks up at him.

TRUMBULL lowers his gun before him and bows his head.  He motions to go with them.

(CONTINUED)

105CONTINUED:105

REACTION SHOT:

THE CHIEF shakes his head no . . . MANNANNA comes over to translate.  THE CHIEF speaks rapidly in his native tongue.

MANNANNA
Chief says you will slow them down.  You do not know how to be like a panther in the jungle to see and not be seen.

TRUMBULL
Tell the chief that I am responsible for the life of the white man.  I will follow him and do what he says.  But I want to go, I have to go.

THE CHIEF Hears the translation from Mannanna.  He motions to his warrior.  They rise and begin to strip TRUMBULL of his clothes.  He stands before them naked and they begin to cover him with black mud.

CLOSE UP:

Native hands spread mud around his eyes, totally blackening out his face.

He stands before them covered with mud.  The chief looks at him.  He is handed a spear.  Six of the village men gather their primitive weapons and head out of the village.  TRUMBULL runs along behind them.

CUT TO:

106INT. JUNGLE PATH ─ NIGHT106

The sky is dark and only bits of moonlight show through the thick jungle.  The jungle noises are intense.  The natives are huddled closely together.  One of the natives is pointing to a light about a hundred yards away in the clearing.

CAMERA ZOOMS in on the soldiers gathered around the small fire.  Several are sleeping.  One of the soldiers is cooking a snake on the tip of his bayonet.  He pulls it back, takes a bite and then offers it to WAYNE.

(CONTINUED)

106CONTINUED:106

WAYNE
No, I don't like to eat things that crawl on the ground.  They tend to want to crawl out of my stomach as well.

WAYNE shakes his head.  The soldier smiles and takes a big bite right off the bayonet.  GOMEZ comes over to WAYNE.

GOMEZ
I don't know why señor Thomas wishes to keep his brother alive.  Colonel has instructed us to kill him.

WAYNE
Don't worry, he'll see what a hassle it is and change his mind.  There's too much money involved.  Maybe blood is thicker than water, but it's not thicker than gold.  Just make sure he doesn't get away.

WAYNE and GOMEZ both glance over at STEVEN.  He is leaning back against a tree on the edge of the jungle.  His legs are folded in front of him and several ropes are holding him fast to the tree.  STEVEN is nearly asleep and doesn't even see them looking at him.

CLOSE UP:

THE TRIBAL CHIEF takes a small blowgun out of his pouch.  He takes a small dart and dips it in a leaf packet that is holding a deadly poison.

CAMERA PANS TO REVEAL:

CHIEF blows on the blowgun.

REACTION SHOT:

A SOLDIER sitting near STEVEN hits his neck with his open palm.  He glances down at his lap and sees the feathered dart.  He attempts to open his mouth but falls back paralyzed.

(CONTINUED)

106CONTINUED:106

CUT TO:

Next to the chief one of the warriors is blowing a dart at another soldier.  Next to him another warrior is blowing a dart at GOMEZ.

GOMEZ
(mid sentence)
He will never again run from . . .

WAYNE watches in horror as GOMEZ slaps away the dart from his neck.

CLOSE UP:

GOMEZ'S face turns grotesquely ugly as the life ebbs out of him and he suffocates.

WAYNE
(looks around and notices that none of the soldiers are moving)
Thomas . . .

THOMAS
(looks up from eating)
What's up . . .

WAYNE
Are any of the soldiers around you moving?

THOMAS
Why?  The jungle got you spooked?

As they talk, TRUMBULL has loosened the ropes that bind STEVEN to the tree.

THOMAS walks over and sees GOMEZ lying down.  He stoops over him.

THOMAS
Good god.  

GOMEZ is turning purple from suffocating.  THOMAS reaches to undue his collar and is hit with a poison dart.  WAYNE sees what is happening, takes his Uzi and hightails it into the jungle.

(CONTINUED)

106CONTINUED:106

STEVEN
(having been freed, looks at Trumbull)
I thought you were dead . . .

TRUMBULL
(laughs)
I feel like I am, covered with all this mud.

STEVEN
My brother . . .

TRUMBULL
(Trumbull walks over with him to the body.)  I don't know what kind of poison they used.  Sometimes they just use paralyzers . . .

STEVEN
(to the chief)
Thank you.  Thank you for saving my life.

THE CHIEF looks with a big smile and points to the gold cross he is wearing.  THE CHIEF points to two of his men and tells them to go after Wayne.

107EXT. JUNGLE ─ NIGHT107

WAYNE is having a hard time working his way through the brush.  A CLOSER LOOK REVEALS he is in the state of severe panic.

CAMERA PANS OVERHEAD.  A BLACK LEOPARD looks down at WAYNE rushing through the brush.  He begins to stalk him.

MEDIUM SHOT:

WAYNE wanders into a clearing and stops and fills his canteen from a stream.  He looks across and sees the huge cat eyes staring at him.  He fires off his Uzi but the cat is in the air before the shots even hit him.

(CONTINUED)

107CONTINUED:107

REACTION SHOT:

In the camp, the CHIEF perks his ear up along with STEVEN and TRUMBULL.  Immediately after the shot, the jungle becomes even more alive with noise.

THE CHIEF motions to return to the village.  TRUMBULL and STEVEN follow with several of the warriors.

STEVEN looks back at the body of his brother lying by the fire.  TRUMBULL sees him looking.

TRUMBULL
Try to forget about it.  I've seen wealth destroy a lot of families.

STEVEN
He could have had anything he wanted . . .

TRUMBULL
It's not the point.  He wanted what was yours . . .

TRUMBULL jerks his head and they follow . . .

108INT. U.S. EMBASSY ─ DAY108

MRS. DALTON, looking a bit frail, dressed in a white dress and rather large, white hat, is sitting in a splendidly decorated EMBASSY OFFICE.  She is waiting next to a rather bulky looking middle-aged man who is her escort.  THE AMBASSADOR comes in the room.

AMBASSADOR
(extends his hands)
Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dalton.  Your late husband and I were good friends.

MRS. DALTON
This is Scott Wales.  He's one of our on-staff curators.  Mr. Ambassador, I'd like to come right to the point.  My son Steven was kidnapped from the airport here and now my other son and daughter-in-law are missing.  No one seems to be doing anything about it.

(CONTINUED)

108CONTINUED:108

AMBASSADOR
Mrs. Dalton, my staff informed me you were coming and I have arranged a car to take us over to Colonel Enriquez's office.  He is the Minister of the Interior and directly responsible for the actions of the army and police.

109EXT. MOUNTAINSIDE ROAD ─ DAY109

The car pulls up to a huge villa with large iron gates and a fifteen-foot high stone fence.  A guard, seeing who they are, opens the gate and allows them to drive through.  As they are driving through, a helicopter lands.  THE COLONEL gets out of the helicopter along with an armed soldier and the pilot.  He is dressed to a T in a sharp green uniform and several medals.  He carries a swagger stick and walks up to the limousine.

COLONEL
Mr. Ambassador . . . sorry I am arriving late.  (Looks at Mrs. Dalton and Scott Wales.  He studies them.)
Was there some problem . . .

AMBASSADOR
Colonel, thank you for taking the time to see us.  This is Señorita Dalton, the mother of the missing American, Steven Dalton . . .

COLONEL
(CLOSEUP: His eyes become very shifty.  He plasters a fake smile.)
I was just out looking for your son, señorita.  We had report of an American near the drug fields.

MRS. DALTON eyes the machine gun toting soldier.

MRS. DALTON
You were looking for my son with machine guns?

COLONEL
The drug traffickers have more weapons than we do . . .

(CONTINUED)
109CONTINUED:109

MRS. DALTON
What were these reports of my son with drug traffickers?

COLONEL
More than reports─actual photographs.  We have been trying to intercept your son for the last two days.

MRS. DALTON
Colonel, pray tell me why would my son be interested in drug smuggling when he is in charge of one of the richest treasure discoveries ever known to modern man.  As Minister of the Interior, you are certainly aware of the amount of wealth that they are bringing in from that wreck.  It's a king's ransom. . . . Colonel, if I hear of anyone going to find my son with guns . . . (She looks around.  The ambassador is in shock.)

AMBASSADOR
(timidly)
Now, before you make accusations . . .

MRS. DALTON
(Irate Scott stands closer to her in a show of support.)  Mr. Ambassador, I thank you for your kind intentions, but my husband was also good friends with the president of this country, Juan Valdez.  Colonel, I know you are a well respected and powerful man, but please don't play me for a fool just because I am old.  I assure you I am not senile.  Somehow you have your eyes on our treasure.  Stay away from my sons or I will see that your life here is destroyed.

110INT. PRESIDENTIAL PALACE ─ DAY110

A well dressed butler escorts MRS. DALTON into a room with the PRESIDENTE who is sitting behind a Louis XVI writing desk.  The room is resplendent with French furniture, mirrors and paintings.  He rises to greet her.

PRESIDENTE
Señorita Dalton, I was so sorry to hear of your husband's death. . . . How may I be of service?

MRS. DALTON
Your Interior Minister has been tracking my son Steven down like a convicted drug smuggler.  I assure you, he's never done drugs in his life.

PRESIDENTE turns away from her, rolls his eyes and turns back to her slowly.

PRESIDENTE
I am sure our Minister would do nothing that was not warranted.  Perhaps you don't know all about your son.  Many children lead lives hidden from their parents . . .

REACTION SHOT:

MRS. DALTON seethes with anger.

(CONTINUED)

110CONTINUED:110

MRS. DALTON
We have uncovered a fortune in treasure, of which your country will share a considerable amount.  It was my late husband's astute attention to detail, research that was the backbone of the discovery.  Let me assure you.  Our son Steven never used drugs.  If your country wishes to share in our bonanza, then I want you to call off your search.  I will hire people to find my son from the private sector.  I just buried my late husband.  I have no intention of burying my son as well.  Thank you for your time, President Valdez . . 

MRS. DALTON turns and leaves the room, not even looking back . . .

MRS. DALTON
(examining some of the treasure)
This is all the treasure they have brought up so far?

PEPITE
(points to the sheet)
It's everything I've logged in.  I enter it here in the ledger, put an identification tag on it, and put it in the safe.

MRS. DALTON
Who all has the combination to the safe?

PEPITE
(nervously)
Señor Dalton and I . . .

MRS. DALTON stands up.

(CONTINUED)

112CONTINUED:112

MRS. DALTON
Very well. . . . Did my son Thomas tell you where he was going?

PEPITE
No, they called me late night before last and said they would be gone.  They said they were going to look at some Inca village . . .

MRS. DALTON
They didn't say where.

PEPITE
No, I canceled all the divers who were helping and put them all on hold.  Your son and Señor Wayne go down with the divers to make sure nothing is stolen.

MRS. DALTON looks to her escort, SCOTT WALES.  She nods to him to leave.

113EXT. DALTON SALVAGE ─ DAY113

MRS. DALTON
There is not much there for as long as they've been down here on this wreck.

SCOTT WALES
Still, those pieces were priceless.

MRS. DALTON
There was a storage room of treasure.  They barely have a suitcase full.  Something's wrong.  I can feel it.

SCOTT WALES
What do you want to do?

MRS. DALTON
Let's begin by finding out where Lucy was staying.  She can't have disappeared as well.

114INT. HOTEL ─ DAY114

MRS. DALTON looks at the guest registry.  The manager is looking over the records with her.

MANAGER
Your daughter-in-law has not slept here the last two nights.  She paid her bill in full and said she didn't know when she would be back.

MRS. DALTON
Were there any message for her?  People that came to visit?

MANAGER
(goes behind the counter and looks in her message book)  
I do recall there were several, but it appears that they were picked up.  (Holds up his index finger and smiles.)  Wait, I can check the carbons on our message pad.  (He gets the message pad and turns it back a few pages.)  Yes, right here.  Trumbull from Lloyds of London called 8:30 on Thursday.  And oh, right here, I should have remembered that the same day at 11:30 she had a call from Colonel Enriquez, Minister of the Interior.

MRS. DALTON
Do you have a phone I can use?

MANAGER
Yes, you can use the one in my private office . . .

SCOTT WALES
Just a minute.  

SCOTT pulls out some money and gives the man a tip.  He gets back in their Jeep.

On the wall is a map with overhead photographs of the jungle area.  Over the overhead are red lines on centering in on the jungle area.  THE PRESIDENTE is in the room with the COLONEL.

PRESIDENTE
Colonel, my office cannot deal with a scandal such as this.  The boy must be disposed of.  I don't care if you have to send every jet we have and burn them out of there.  I don't want him leaving this country alive.  It's not just the boy either.  The man from Lloyds of London must be disposed of as well.

COLONEL
El Presidente, we have already sent in a number of men.  None came back.  These tribes . . .
