MACGREGOR: All legends are born in truth.
From the Amazon
came the legend of the Tears of the Moon.
A single petal from the great Tree
could cure any illness
and break any curse.
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
Over the centuries,
many expeditions went searching
for the Healing Tears of legend.
None more famous
than that of the conquistador
Don Lope de Aguirre,
who was determined to possess
the Tears' power.
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
But the jungle protected the Tears.
(GRUNTS)
History will tell you
his journey ended in failure.
But legend tells more.
That he was found
by the Guardians of the Tree
and nursed back to life.
That he demanded they give him
the sacred Arrowhead,
the key to finding the Tears of the Moon.
(INTENSE MUSIC PLAYING)
That Aguirre att*cked.
(YELLING)
But the jungle defended,
and Aguirre and his conquistadors
were taken,
cursed, never to leave sight
of the river again,
- unable to leave or die...
- (SCREAMING)
...or so the legend goes.
"We know they disappeared here,
"in the region of Lágrimas de Cristal,
"and it is here that we will find
the true source of the legend,
"a tree that possesses
unparalleled healing powers.
- "My esteemed colleagues..."
- (WHISPERING ALONG)
"...I assert that the famous legend
"of the Tears of the Moon is not a myth
- "but scientific truth."
- ...but scientific truth.
"One that could revolutionize
modern medicine,
"curing illnesses
that not only scourge our cities,
"but cut down more of our soldiers
in the trenches than German b*ll*ts.
"I have come here today to request access
to your exclusive archives..."
- (GROANS SOFTLY)
- "...including an ancient Arrowhead
"recently recovered from
the lost expedition of Dr. Albert Falls.
"The Arrowhead represents
the missing piece
"that will finally unlock the location
"of, pause for dramatic effect, the..."
"The Tears of the Moon."
And you made your request, Mr. Houghton,
and the answer remains, emphatically,
- "no."
- MEN: Hear, hear.
SIR JAMES: Our archives
are the providence of legitimate scholars,
- not inspired amateurs.
- MEN: Hear, hear.
Be that as it may,
since I have your attention,
would you at least allow me
to, uh, continue with my, uh,
examination of how important
the Tears of the Moon could be
to medicine?
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Shaka Zulu.
- Yes.
Through one simple act of innovation,
he came to dominate
all his enemies from the...
There was that,
but also the encirclement tactic.
You are not where you ought to be.
Yes. You're right. Uh, I think I...
The secretaries' gallery is that way.
Thank you so much.
MACGREGOR: A cure for all ailments,
whether it be consumption,
diphtheria, dengue fever,
yellow fever, hay fever,
fever fever...
All fevers, um, would be covered.
(FOOTSTEPS)
Excuse me.
Yes?
This area is for Society members only.
- Is it?
- Yes.
Oh, I'm so sorry about that.
Well, to be quite frank,
I've no idea how you even...
(GRUNTS)
SIR JAMES: Mr. Houghton,
we granted you an audience
in deference to your late father.
This, however,
seems remarkably like a paper
I had the honor of refusing
when it was submitted by a female writer,
a Dr. Lily Houghton.
No relation, I take it?
None that I've ever agreed to.
SIR JAMES: Shall we help you
find your way out?
(GRUNTS SOFTLY)

(CREAKING)
(ENCHANTING MUSIC PLAYING)
Here we are. (CHUCKLING)
It's in the first crate of the lot.
And thank you so much
for your very generous contribution,
in solid gold bars, I might add.
Would make life so much simpler
if more people paid in gold. (LAUGHING)
I don't want the whole lot,
just one thing.
Seems someone got to it before me.
(LID THUDS)
SIR JAMES: Um, they shouldn't have.
I'm sure it's all there.
It must have just slid somewhere.
(CHUCKLES) Let's... Let's see.
It was definitely there.

- Oh!
Hello. I just wanted you to know,
this is a Nguni assegai.
It's been mislabeled as "Zulu."
SIR JAMES: Grab her!

Oh.

Wait!

I think I speak for the entire Society

to you, Prince Joachim.
(LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)
You just told them my name.
Oh.

Oh.

It is Prince

Joachim.
- Good.
- Now, Prince Joachim,
we could refund your money from the...
You keep that money, and you tell me,
who is that woman?
I don't...
I do know who that was.
MACGREGOR: Breaking and entering,
grand larceny,
and worst of all,
forced to take public transport.
Should I be concerned about you?
Why would you say that, MacGregor?
This is a petal that could heal all,
save countless lives, change the world.
Haven't you been dreaming
about another adventure?
If I wanted to go to a primitive backwater
where I can't understand
a word anyone's saying,
I'd visit our relatives in Scotland.
(LILY CHUCKLES)
Barely got over that hideous trip
with Father to Bhutan.
You only lost two toes.
- I was seven.
- LILY: Then just stay here.
You can. You can just stay here.
Don't worry about me.
All alone, in the Amazon.
But who'd look after you?
(SARCASTICALLY) Well, I have no idea.
Come on, cheer up.
Steamer to Brazil, rail to Porto Velho...
(CUP RATTLES)
...then all we need is a skipper.
(ADVENTUROUS MUSIC PLAYING)
(TOUCAN CHITTERS)
SKIPPER: First of all,
let me congratulate you
on your excellent choice of skipper.
Of all the jungle cruises
you could take in the Amazon,
this one is undoubtedly
the cheapest.
But also the most thrilling.
- (METAL CLANKING)
- Are you still giving a tour?
SKIPPER: Yes, I am.

(PASSENGERS WHIMPERING)
Skipper!
All right.
(ALL GASP)
(TOUCANS SQUAWKING)
If you look to the left of the boat,
you'll see some very playful toucans.
They're playing
their favorite game of beak-wrestling.
The only drawback is,
only two can play.
There's two birds, and those are toucans.
I'm saying that only "two can" play.
Not one, but "two can" play.
(MOUTHING) Wow.
The rocks you see here
in the river are sandstone.
But some people
just take them for granite.
It's one of my boulder attractions.
You know, before this,
I used to work in an orange juice factory,
but I got canned.
- ALL: Oh...
- Couldn't concentrate.
ALL: Oh...
Yeah, they put the squeeze on me, too.
(PEOPLE GROAN)
That's a good one.
I should've opened with that one.
You know, they say
the boa constrictor right there is capable
of eating up to pounds per sitting.
Personally, I find that very hard...
to swallow.
Mommy, can you please make him stop?
No one can.
And don't interrupt me like that again.
I will feed you to the boa.
She is a small child.
He loves small children.
Close your mouth.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(INSECT BUZZES)
SKIPPER: Hey! Hey!
Hands in the boat!
Know this about the jungle,
everything that you see wants to k*ll you.
And can.
Poison angel's trumpet.
Strychnos. Curare. Banana spider.
(ALL WHIMPERING)
Marauders, dead of fever,
for never finding the Fountain of Youth.
Adventurers, stung by stingrays,
searching for cities of gold.
Conquistadors, cursed,

And then there's the ones
that just got eaten
by the deadly hippopotamus.
But hippos aren't native to the...

It looks just like the front side.
It's completely different.
It's the eighth Wonder of the World,

You don't wanna miss this.

They hunt humans!

Oh, any faster would damage my engine,

I'm not going to start a fight.
They clearly shouldn't be in cages.
Oh, my gosh! Look, there's the boats!
Look, look, look!
Right. I think we've earned ourselves
some nice lunch at the hotel,
then a bath and a cocktail.
We did not travel half the globe
for baths and cocktails.
We must find this Mr. Nilo

Buongiorno, Frankie boy!

Hey, Frankie, you know what today is?
COCKATOO: Frank owes me money.
It's the third Tuesday of the month.
My money, Frank. My contante.
Where is it?
Oh, you mean this money? It's all here.
I just need this,
so I can finally eat this week.
The rest è per te.
(TUTTING)
You insult me, Frank.
This is not all of my money.
This is like a little pinky toe,
nothing... (BLOWS RASPBERRY)
Itty-bitty, little nothing
of my money, Frank.
You borrow money from me
to get a new engine,
well, you got to pay me back,
plus interest.
Yeah, I'm going to keep
your engine for now.
I get , real in one week,
then you get it back.
I don't get my money in one week,
then I keep your whole boat.
FRANK: What do you want my boat for?
You have nice boats.
You have all the boats.
Not yet, I don't, Frank.
But I bet you I will.
I'm gonna guess, by next week.
Arrivederci, Franco.

LILY: Mr. Nilo? Hello?
Frank owes me money.
Ah, there you are. I was hoping
we might have a small business chat.
FRANK: Not a good chat time right now.
(ROSITA SCREECHES)
But if you came back
first thing tomorrow morning,
lots of available chat then.
No, I would much prefer now.
My name is Dr. Lily Houghton,
and my brother and I
are looking for passage upriver,
and I'm told that you are
the man for the job.
- You were told wrong.
- That's impossible, because you come...
- (DOOR RATTLES)
- ...highly recommended.
I have an idea. Please go away.
Mr. Nilo, your name is plastered
all over the boats outside.
I think you're being a bit unreasonable.
You're the one trying
to break down my door.
I have a lot of money.
Oh.
- You're insistent.
- It's been said.
Now, we're headed upriver,
in the direction of the Peruvian Andes.
This region doesn't really have a name
on the conventional map,
but it was once known to some
as Lágrimas de Cristal.
You're wearing pants.
Trousers. And yes, as are you.
Do women in England do that now?
Well, we're not in England,
last time I checked.
Now, look, as shocking
as the pants are, I'd really...
ROSITA: Frank owes me money.
(TRILLS) Frank owes me money.
Frank owes me money.
- Can I get you a drink?
- Who's Frank?
FRANK: I have no idea.
LILY: I will have a little something.
- Spritzer, I assume?
- I'll have whatever you're having.
So, do you know the region, Mr. Nilo?
Well, if it's on the Amazon River,
I know it.
And, lady, I could tell you,
of all the places in the world you can go,
the last place you wanna go
is Lágrimas de Cristal.
Oh, but I do. And I will.
Oh, but you won't, Pants.
You can't get there. Nobody can get there.
And if they could, they wouldn't.
It's not a fun vacation.
Well, I'm not here for a vacation.
Where'd you get the map?
Isn't it extraordinary?
The detail and the care he took.
It was drawn by Aguirre's cartographer.
And it belonged to my father,
who used to tell me
all about the Tears of the Moon
when I was a little girl.
(LAUGHS)
So, that's why you wanna go?
Your daddy's bedtime stories?
Look, can you get us there or not?
Or has this just been
a colossal waste of my time?
I could get you there,
but you have to consider the dengue fever,
anaconda, plus,
look, lady, that's the home
of the actual Puka Michuna.
They're the ones that like to eat you
and wear your eyes for beads.
Look, lady, I gotta be honest with you,
let's do something that's safe.
So, me, you, and your pants,
we can go for a ride around town.
That'd be fun.
I'll show you some waterfalls.
You look like you like waterfalls.
- (SIGHS)
- And I'll also show you
the herd of pygmy elephants we just found.
Let's go see some elephants.
- I lost my key for that thing.
- LILY: Did you?
FRANK: I did.
Well, that's never gonna do it.
You're gonna hurt yourself.
Those are very sharp.
Mr. Nilo, I spent my childhood playtime
with the toddler pickpockets
of Delhi, so...
There we go.
Allow me to manage my own safety,
if that's all right.
Now, shall we negotiate a price?
Or shall I just cast about
for another skipper?
Two beers, two steaks. (SPEAKS SPANISH)
(IN ENGLISH) Who's paying for all this?
Oh, Mr. Nilo insisted it was his treat.
That's right.
I consider , real more than adequate.

I am my best captain.
Oh, and your most modest.
Fine, , .

If I have to bring you back dead,

Why should I pay more dead?
Dead, I'd have to carry you.
Dead's a lot harder, lady.
, dead or alive.
Okay, but I get paid in full
when we turn back
before Lágrimas de Cristal.
Why ever would we be turning back?
Well, you're gonna beg me to turn back,
first sign of the rapids.
Well, I look forward to disappointing you.
MACGREGOR: Lily,
look who I found at the hotel bar.
NILO: Ah!
MACGREGOR: Mr. Nilo.
Buongiorno, signorina.
MACGREGOR: He drives a hard bargain,
but he met his match with me.
Negotiated him down to , .
Who's your friend?
Not Mr. Nilo.
- Not Mr. Nilo, no.
- LILY: No.
So, I suppose that would make you...
Enjoying your meal, Frank?
As in, "Frank owes me money," Frank?
Of course. It's all making perfect sense.
I suppose it's only a scam
if you fall for it.
Well, thank you, Mr. Frank.
I hope we never meet again.
Mr. Nilo, hello.
(FRANK WHISTLES)
- Did you just whistle at me?
- , .
Eh, scusa.

- Aren't you missing an engine?
Signorina, he could not get you
as far as the outhouse.
In fact, his boat kind of
looks like an outhouse. (CHUCKLES)
You're never gonna find a faster boat
in the harbor than La Quila.

LILY: Do you know,
- if I were you, Frank...
- Well, you're not me.
I just feel that sometimes
it just needs a bit of a...
This is my engine.
Nobody touches my engine but me.
- (CLANGS)
- What did I just...
LILY: There you go.
JOACHIM: Goodbye.
- (BOTH SHOUT IN GERMAN)
- (w*apon FIRES)
MACGREGOR: Is that a...
- Torpedo.
- LILY: Oh, my God.
Frank, Frank, Frank!
Frank, Frank, Frank, Frank!
- What are you doing?
- FRANK: We can't outrun it.

Frank!
(BOTH CHEERING AND LAUGHING)
Oh.
(CRASHING)
(DRAGONFLY BUZZING)
FRANK: Look what they did to you.
Poor thing.
I'm so sorry. Machine g*ns.
Who brings a submarine to the Amazon?
But you still outran them. Every time.
(PRAISES IN SPANISH)
I thought I'd keep it casual.
Well, you've really
outdone yourself this time.
Do we know the identity
of our homicidal maniac in the submarine?
No, I don't know his name.
But the youngest son of Kaiser Wilhelm
wrote several articles
about the Tears of the Moon.
And if I had to guess,
I would say that that's him.
Aren't you hot in all that?
Not in the slightest.
My eyeballs are sweating.
(MACGREGOR GROANS)
LILY: Are you all right, love?
(DOLPHINS WHISTLING)
Oh, my... Oh, my goodness!
MacGregor, look!
Inia geoffrensis!
Oh, how beautiful! (LAUGHING)
(DOLPHIN WHISTLING)
(LAUGHS)
You know, here we call them "encantado."
- "Bewitched"?
- Yeah. Shape-shifter spirits.
Don't look them directly in the eye
unless you want nightmares for life.
You believe in legends,
you should believe in curses, too.
Okay.
(DOLPHIN WHISTLING)
Hey, MacGregor.
Had a girlfriend once, she was cross-eyed.
Didn't work out.
We could never see eye to eye.
- (SNORTS)
- (FRANK LAUGHING)
LILY: Oh, my God.
Is that your idea of a joke?
That is not funny.
I'm also quite sure
she was seeing somebody on the side.
(SIGHS IN EXASPERATION)
(BOTH LAUGHING)
Silly.
(CAMERA WHIRRING)
You know, most people smile
when they're on camera, Frank.
(NO AUDIO)
It's a moving picture camera.
Have you never seen one before?
I've never seen a moving picture.
They're so much fun
and you can experience
being anywhere in the world.
Ah.
Although, why would you want to,
if you could be here,
surrounded by all this?
It's just...
Oh, it's like drifting
through the Garden of Eden.
It's just beautiful.
Look at this.
Frank, did you see these heliconias?
Do you know
there's more individual species
on one tree in the Amazon than there is...
(NO AUDIO)
(CHUCKLING)
MacGregor, I think you seem
to be taking us off course.
We should turn that way.
FRANK: No, we're good. Stay on course.
Lágrimas de Cristal is that way.
LILY: Frank, Frank...
FRANK: He's fine.
I think you're mistaken. (CHUCKLES)
I'm not mistaken, I'm the skipper.
The Lágrimas de Cristal is straight ahead.
Stay on course.
Frank, it says on the map
that it's passable.
Here we have that cliff
and exactly that tributary.
We can save two days going this way.
We cannot go that way.
We have to go that way.
Lágrimas de Cristal is that way.
We go that way, it's rapids.
You ever been down the rapids?
No, but I presume that you have...
- Yes.
- ...which is why I hired you!
So just...
turn that way. To the right.
Starboard. Whatever you call it.
I'm not the one who can't swim, Pants.
Don't you worry about that, Skippy.
Lady, it's "Skipper."
My mistake.
(SHIFTS GEAR)
JOACHIM: This godforsaken, endless Amazon,
with its infinite tangled tributaries.
Dr. Houghton and the Arrowhead
could be anywhere.
There's only one person
who has ever gotten close
to the Tears of the Moon.
We shall have to ask him directly.
We'll set a new course.
AXEL: But, Your Highness,
the curse of Don Aguirre...
(AXEL CHUCKLES)
That's only a legend, right?
- (INSECTS CHIRPING)
- (FROGS CROAKING)
FRANK: We're gonna anchor here
for the night.
LILY: Can't we make good time in the dark?
Look, we can just keep going.
No, not unless you want
the engine to overheat.
(SIGHS) Tell you what, Skippy.
After this day,
I could really do with
that luxurious bath of yours.
Is it, um, down there?
- No, there's no bath down there, Pants.
- LILY: What?
No, the bath is out there.
That's the bath.
, miles of luxurious bath.
I also warmed it
a little bit for you earlier.
Oh, and I know you don't know how to swim,
so if you happen to drown out there,
go ahead and, uh, use the soap
to wash yourself ashore.
(OBJECTS CLATTER)
(SHIFTS GEAR)
I could do with something to eat.
Someone threw all of my reserve food
into the harbor.
You know, Frank, if you think you're going
to cut our trip short by starving us,
let me tell you that
that is extremely likely to work.
(ANIMAL SCREECHES IN DISTANCE)
Do you expect me to eat that?
(WATER BUBBLING)
(FRANK GRUNTS)
- (SPLAT)
- LILY: Oh...
FRANK: Piranha.
Better eat them before they eat you.
(MACGREGOR GASPS)
No way.
Have to say, Frank.
These piranha are so good.
Can't quite place that flavor, though.
It's blood.
(GULPS) Oh.
Right.
I'm to bed.
Sleep anywhere you want downstairs,
just not in my cabin. It's off-limits.
Why on Earth would I want to do that?
Phew.
(GROANS)
Bugger!
LILY: You're staring,
how do I make it stop?
I'm just not used to seeing
a woman in pants, that's all.
Awfully interested in my apparel, Frank.
Get your head around it.
(FAINT CREAKING)
(SOFT THUD)
(MOANS)
(SOFT GUITAR MUSIC PLAYING)
FRANK: You know,
you really bring those eyes to life.
Your perspective's a little off, though.
LILY: What?
Well, you're right, annoyingly.
- Do you draw?
- I used to.
Why'd you stop?
Well, I drew everything I wanted to draw.
Then I figured I'd learn something new.
Or perhaps you just need
some proper inspiration.
FRANK: What about you?
(SCOFFS) Never lack for inspiration.
No, I mean, what're you doing out here?
Chasing maps all over the place?
Or is this your idea of fun?
- The Tears of the Moon...
- Oh, come on.
I believe that the legend is real.
- Which it's not.
- And I'm gonna find it.
- Which you won't.
- And when I do,
just imagine the lives
that could be saved.
Legend says one petal from the Tree
will heal anything.
It will change medicine forever.
It's the beginning
of a scientific revolution.
It's very exciting, Frank.
So, you wanna be the Darwin of flowers?
And I want to help
as many people as I can.
Wanna save the world?
I didn't say "save the world."
It's very noble.
- Well, thank you.
- It's also very stupid.
- You are deeply unpleasant.
- (CONTINUES PLAYING GUITAR)
And off-key.
So, you'd rather risk your life
and your brother's life
to save people you don't even know?
Well, I don't have to
know someone to care.
Well, I don't have to care
about anybody, period.
That's apparent.
Look, I just think if you're lucky enough
to have one person in this life
to care about,
then that's world enough for me.
(MOUTHING) "That's world enough for me."
Hmm.

Oh, my goodness!
Oh, my goodness! Oh, my...

Heel.
Proxima.
LILY: This is your cat?
So, that fight?
- Faked it.
- For goodness' sake, Frank!
Is there a single thing
about you that I can trust?
Not a thing.
(GROWLS SADLY)
Great timing.
JOACHIM: The natives
speak of this place with dread.
This is where Aguirre
and his men were punished
for trying to steal the Arrowhead.
(EERIE MUSIC PLAYING)
There.
River water.
This is what you have been waiting for.
(WIND WHISTLING)
Look who is here.
The legend in the flesh.
River water. You want to see more?
A long, painful wait
to see the river again.
The Tears of the Moon
can break your curse,
free you from this jungle.
You want what I need.
Detonator.
The Arrowhead is near.
You will find it for me,
and we both get what we want. Deal?
Swear it.
Good.

(RATTLING)
(ADVENTUROUS MUSIC PLAYING)
All right, we're about to hit
the butter churn. Ready, Pants?
You sure this is the only way?
FRANK: You picked the route.
You wanted to save two days.
Uh, "butter churn,"
how literal a metaphor?
If you have anything of value,
I would recommend
that you store it below deck.
Since I consider myself of value,
I will see you all on the other side.
Wait a minute. MacGregor.
Wait. Wait, wait, wait.
Do not lose it.
- You see that?
- (LOW GROWLING)
I want you to bring that to me.
(SPEAKS SPANISH)
It's been lovely knowing you.
LILY: Don't say that.
Go.
(GROWLS SOFTLY)
Oh, not you again. Go away.
(LOW SNARLING)
You sure you're up for this, Pants?
Just drive the boat, Skippy.
(GRUNTING) That ruddy cat!
- LILY: What are you doing?
- She's incessant.
(GROWLING AND SNIFFING)
(INTENSE MUSIC PLAYING)
Here we go.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
(GRUNTS)
Oh, my God!

- You wanna turn back, Pants?
Nope. Just getting started.
Good. Me, too.

MACGREGOR: (WHIMPERS) Slow down!
(GRUNTING)
You wanna turn back?
Just drive!
(SHIFTS GEAR)
(FRANK GRUNTING)

Looks like you wet your pants, Pants.
That was the wave.
You should give up.
You should give up the guitar.

Please don't ever do that again.
I could turn the boat around and we could
head back to town, how's that?
That may be the first intelligent thing
you've said since we met.
FRANK: How about you, Pants?
You ready to go back to town?
No?
I actually loved, uh,
the whole experience.
I... I found it, um, exhilarating.
You're looking a little green
around the gills.
That's why I'm asking.
Are you okay?
Are you hungry?
(GAGS)
Yeah, she's hungry.
Have some cured piranha
if you think you...
(COUGHING)
You did good... (GAGS)
(LILY CONTINUES COUGHING)
(PROXIMA GROANING)
Did you get it?
(SNIFFS) Ugh!
You're drunk?
You're the worst cat I have ever had.
(WHINES)
(MACAWS SCREECHING)
I don't know how you live with that woman.
I've been with her for two days,
and I already wanna throw her overboard.
Does take some getting used to.
Does she ever stop being so, uh...
- Lily?
- Yes.
Afraid not.
Headfirst, figure it out on the way down.
It should be on her crest in Latin.
(QUOTES HALTINGLY IN LATIN)
(COMPLETES QUOTE)
Hmm.
(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)
(WHISPERS) What you doing?
Your funeral.
(PROXIMA GROWLS)
(WHISPERS) It's just a peek.
FRANK: Your sister says
whatever she wants to say
to whoever she wants to say it.
No regard for anybody's feelings.
Doesn't matter who gets hurt. Usually me.
She takes after our father.
He was always chasing after
some far-fetched idea.
There's no such thing as curses.
Or cure-alls.
And there hasn't been a conquistador here
for three centuries.
Hmm.
So, why'd you follow her out here, then?
It was the third time
that I'd been presented
with an entirely suitable marriage
to a charming, educated woman
that sits on a horse well,
that I had to tell the lady in question
that I couldn't accept the offer.
Or, indeed, any offer,
given that my interests happily lie...
elsewhere.
Elsewhere?
Elsewhere.
Huh.
Well... To elsewhere.
Uncle threatened to disinherit me,
friends and family turned their backs...
all because of who I loved.
I would've been ostracized from society
were it not for Lily.
She stood by me.
And for that,
I would follow her into a volcano.
Pants! Let's shove off!
Would you care to explain this?
I said stay out of my quarters.
Oh, I bet you did.
So that you could keep
more secrets from us.
Just lie upon lie. I mean, Frank,
you are like an onion of deceit.
- What lies?
- That you're after it yourself!
I am not after it! Not anymore.
Not for a long, long time.
Okay, yes,
I came here seeking
the Tears of the Moon, just like you.
I have a map just like yours.
And a dozen others just like it.
LILY: Aguirre's cartographer
certainly was prolific.
Yeah, well, he lost his life searching
for something that can't be found.
I've tracked the legend to every village,
every island, every shoal.
Nothing.
And now I'm stuck
on this river ever since,
wishing I could be anywhere else but here.
But you never had this.
(PURRING)
I'm going to pet you now.
And you're not going to eat me.
- Understood?
- (GROWLS SOFTLY)
Easing in.
- About to engage.
- (PURRING)
You're not that bad really, are you,
for a big, hairy m*rder cat?
(SNORTS, HUFFS)

Lily!
LILY: MacGregor.

MACGREGOR: Where are they taking us?
FRANK: We're headed
into headhunter territory,
which is a terrible place to be headed.

...MacGregor...
(FRANK CONTINUES SPEAKING TUPI)
What did you say?
I said that they should let you
and your brother MacGregor go, and live.
In exchange, you'll have to leave
all of your things and your clothes,
and I'll stay back as well.
That's very, very brave.
That is not something I agree to, Frank.
We're not doing it.
There's no way that the three of us
can get out of this situation alive.
I know these people.
Leave now and let them...
- No!
- Can I please talk for five minutes
- without you interrupting me?
- (GROANS)
(SPEAKING TUPI)
(CHIEF SPEAKING TUPI)
(WHISPERS) Oh, now you've done it.
(CHIEF SPEAKING TUPI)
(WHISPERS) Oh, no.
(CHIEF CONTINUES SPEAKING TUPI)
"The only thing of yours I want
- "is the Arrowhead."
- (WHISPERS) No.
Don't shake your head like that.
They hate that.
They hate that. Don't do that.
(CHIEF CONTINUES SPEAKING TUPI)
"I know you have it.
"It belongs to my people, taken long ago.
"You can return it and go free.
"Or I can pry it from your fingers.
(CHIEF CONTINUES SPEAKING TUPI)
"After I pick them clean of meat."
- MACGREGOR: Oh.
- (LILY GASPS SOFTLY)
(SIGHS)
Come on. You heard the nice cannibal.
- Hand it over.
- I'm a little rusty
in the Puka Michuna dialect,
so I want you to translate what I say,
word for word.
Okay.
No, I cannot give you the Arrowhead.
- Oh, God. Lily.
- Lily.
Shut up.
Just say it.
Yes, I have the Arrow
that belongs to your people.
(FRANK SPEAKING TUPI)
She's being weird about the Arrowhead.
I will return it.
(SPEAKS TUPI) She's extremely difficult.
But first I must use it to find
the Tears of the Moon.
(SPEAKS TUPI) It's hard to be around her.
Now, if I die for that, so be it.
(FRANK SPEAKS TUPI)
She doesn't mind if you k*ll her.
But you must let these two men go free.
(SPEAKS TUPI) Just don't k*ll me.
Lily!
Come on, fight me.
You, come on, fight me.
Go! Do it! What's wrong with you?
Lily...
(ALL LAUGHING)
(SIGHS)
(IN ENGLISH) Seriously, Frank.
Next time I'm going to charge you more
for this "booga-booga" nonsense.
Sam, we had a deal, okay?
No, no. I'm tired,
and this is a whole production,
with these ridiculous costumes!
And you told me
this was a nice English lady
with her wimpy brother.
And she's gonna get herself k*lled.
I know, because she's crazy!
She's crazy determined.
Lily, listen, the truth is I didn't get
a chance to call this entire thing off.
Remember, it's only a scam
if you fall for it.
(GROANING)
You've gotta stop doing that.
- Wimpy, eh?
- In a strong way.
(GROANS)
Strong form.
The whole family has strong form.
Can you translate it?
Possibly.
Possibly, but, you know,
there are some impediments.
Your English gets very exact
when you want something.
I have the tingling impression
we're to negotiate a price.
You get me.
Trader Sam likes a trade.
Oh, I bet.
- Would you like that hat?
- TRADER SAM: Hmm.
You can have that hat.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER AND LAUGHTER)
You've really done it now.
- (SIGHS) You think she'll get over it?
- Not likely.
It wasn't personal, you know.
It was a pre-existing arrangement.
Cross Lily like that
and you are dead to her.
Dead and buried.
Entombed.
- Embalmed and entombed.
- I got it.
- Dead as a dodo.
- You're making it very clear.
- Dead, dead, dead.
- MacGregor.
This beer's actually rather nice.
- It's masato.
- Hmm.
It's made out of fermented spit.
You're drinking spit.
(GULPS)
When in Rome.
God, I wish I was in Rome.
"The Tears of the Moon
"possess the power to cure anything."
Now, this word here,
there's no exact translation
in English. It's...
a pain to...
the soul.
(FUMBLES FOR WORDS)
Heal. Heal.
Heal the soul.
Pretty much.
Mm-hmm. Heal.
"To prove yourself worthy,
you must turn water to stone.
"Then mend a broken heart."
MACGREGOR: Ooh.
TRADER SAM: "For Tears to bloom,
"the great Tree must be
under the rare crying Moon."
There is one in two days.
"The Tree hides
"where the Moon bled.
"It sank into the west,
over the heart of the serpent."
Serpent.
"Where the fang bites its own tail..."
LILY: "Where the fang bites its tail."
Oh, my goodness.
TRADER SAM: Now, I told you
it was complicated.
Of course no one's ever found it.
Right, because it's not
in Lágrimas de Cristal.
It's here. La Luna Rota.
Yes.
How long would you say
it would take me to get down there?
Two or three days.
What about via canoe?
BOTH: Excuse me?
Please inform Captain Skippy that
I will be traveling alone from now on.
You're never gonna make it alone, Lily.
Please tell him that he misjudges
my determination, also my driving skills.
Please tell Dr. Pants
that what's out there in the jungle,
she's never read about
in her little textbooks. Tell her that.
Well, I'm not gonna be falling
for any more of his ludicrous tricks.
They're getting really tedious.
If you go upriver by yourself
with that thing around your neck,
- you're never gonna make it out alive.
- Really?
We have to stick together.
- Do we?
- Yes, we do.
"We" is an interesting word, Frank.
Because it sort of implies
a bond of trust and honesty.
Neither of which you know anything about,
because you are a liar, Frank.
You are selfish, you are arrogant,
and I wouldn't trust you
as far as I could throw you,
which clearly isn't very far,
because you are huge.
So, there is no more "we," actually.
In fact, here's the rest of your , .
Oh, and here's a tip
for such wonderful service.
This one is a driver.
TRIBESPEOPLE: Driver.
Yes. Use that for anything over yards.
Under that, you'll need an iron.
w*r paint? Righto, yes.
For a warrior. Dilly!
Tickles.
This doesn't appear to be coming off.
That's 'cause it's tattoo ink.
It'll come off eventually.
In a few decades.
Oh, no.

Frank?
Frank, you're alive.
How? How are you alive, Frank?
- (FRANK PANTING)
- I saw you die.
I saw you fall. How are you alive?
Lily, I don't care
what you've done for me,
- if we make it out of here alive...
- LILY: Oh, there you are.
...I am never leaving Kensington again.
- Frank's alive! (CHUCKLES)
- Yeah. Frank's alive.
Huh. Oh, um...
You've got a little, um,
something in your back.
LILY: Frank?
The name's actually Francisco.
Francisco Lopez de Heredia.
And...
I'm roughly years old.
- What?
- I know it's a lot to take in.
- I will explain to you the entire story...
- There's no blood in you.
Are you a ghost?
No, it's complicated.
But clearly you're... you're not a human.
Okay, but it's very hard to focus
when I have a sword impaled in my heart.
Trader Sam, I need you to come and pull.
Vampire?
I told you last time,
I'm done pulling weapons out of you.
Oh, no.
It is, uh, Dr. Houghton, right?
Of Botany.
Look at it.
It's just hanging out like that.
FRANK: Well, it's how it's made.
It's got a very strange shape.
Have you seen it out the back?
It's like... Woo... Like that.
Well, it's not...
It's kinda actually just straight.
(SIGHS) One hand, two hand,
what do you want?
Let's try one.
You're gonna need two hands.
FRANK: No, no, no!
- What, what, what?
- Oh, my gosh! That hurts.
- No, it doesn't.
- How do you know?
Frank, would you like
to bite down on my stick?
- Nope. I'm good. Thank you.
- No, for the pain.
- (MOUTHING)
- I understand what it...
What he means. But no.
There if you need it.
I just feel like
you're very uptight right now.
And it's not helping me,
'cause I'm very nervous.
It's okay to be nervous.
It's your first time.
- Ooh! (SIGHS)
- It is your first time, right?
- Yes, you know it is, Frank.
- I know, I know. I can tell.
- (CLEARS THROAT)
- I've done this hundreds of times.
- I don't know how to take that, Frank.
- This is special.
- Is it?
- It is.
- Slow!
- What?
FRANK: Oh, you can't do it like that.
- That's way too hard.
- LILY: Frank.
Would you like me to give it a wiggle?
- Yes. Yes.
- Absolutely not.
I could pop around the back
and give it a once over.
- No, we're good.
- Okay.
You know what always helps?
If you put your foot on it.
- I'm a little nervous.
- Don't be nervous.
Frank, I'm gonna count to three.
You're gonna... I'm counting or...
No, I'm counting.
- One.
- 'Cause... Ahhh!
(SNORING)
I dreamt I was lunching at Boodle's.
- (CHUCKLES)
- FRANK: Hey, Doctor.
- We should go.
- Of course.
No. You've done enough.
I can't leave you alone out here.
Look at the state of you.
And you can't even walk.
Will you at least consider turning back?
I will be fine. I promise.
Do I smell?
Horrendously.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)
We have visitors. Open the hatch.
(BEES BUZZING)
(SHOUTING IN GERMAN)
(PANICKED CHATTER)
(IN ENGLISH) Good afternoon, my friends.
(BEES CONTINUE BUZZING)
Something is there?
What is there?
You have found their river boat?
(BUZZING)
No?
Not the river boat? The Arrowhead?
(BUZZING)
The Arrowhead? Yes.
Show... Show me where.
We're taking orders from a bee.
JOACHIM: Show me on the map.
Here?
Yes! You heard him. Change course!
Could you ask the bee for coordinates?
Don't be ridiculous, Axel.
Thank you. (WHISPERS) Thank you.
years...
...five months and days.
(SIGHS) I really thought you d*ed.
Were you sad when I d*ed?
I was very concerned.
For my soul.
For my expedition.
And for you.
So, what are you?
You don't bleed, I think you breathe.
You're not possible.
I don't know what I am anymore.
But I can tell you what I was.
My father was a mercenary
and he was recruited
by Aguirre's father in Algiers.
(SOFT INSTRUMENTAL ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)
When my father d*ed protecting him,
he took me in.
Raised Aguirre and me together,
like brothers.
Aguirre's daughter Anna had fallen ill.
She was all he had.
He vowed he wouldn't lose her.
(SPEAKING SPANISH) I will travel far.
But I will come back to you
with a Tear of the Moon.
And you will run again in the moonlight.
Healed.
(SOFT INSTRUMENTAL ROCK MUSIC CONTINUES)
FRANK: (IN ENGLISH) We fought the ocean,
only to be beaten by the river.
The jungle fought our every step.
I would've done anything
to find the Tears of the Moon
and save Aguirre's daughter.
Even chart the Amazon.
LILY: You were Aguirre's cartographer?
You drew my map?
Frank...
Really think my work is extraordinary?
I think you were
a minor master of your time.
Minor?
(THUNDER BOOMS)
(COUGHS)
FRANK: One by one, the jungle took us.
We were all but dead.
Still, Aguirre wouldn't turn back.
There was no world for him
without his daughter in it.
And then they came.
We would've all d*ed had they not saved us
with the Tears of the Moon.
The petal's magic was real.
Its powers unlocked
by the Chief and his daughter.
(CHANTING)
All that was broken, the petals mended.
And all at once, we were revived.
And Aguirre was happy,
because he was closer than ever
to finding a cure for his daughter.
(PEOPLE CHATTERING)
But he grew impatient.
Aguirre demanded
they give him the Arrowhead
and take him to the Tree.
(SPEAKING SPANISH) You are not worthy.
FRANK: (IN ENGLISH) The Chief refused.
(YELLS)
- (BLADE SWISHES)
- (GASPS)
(ALL CLAMORING)
Despite all the kindness they'd shown us,
he would've k*lled every last one of them.
(AGUIRRE SPEAKING SPANISH)
She has the Arrowhead!
FRANK: (IN ENGLISH) I loved Aguirre,
but I couldn't be part of the madness.
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
I'm not going to hurt you.
I only want the Arrowhead.
FRANK: (IN ENGLISH)
And I couldn't just stand by.
(SPEAKING SPANISH) Give it to me!
(WOMAN SCREAMS)
Run!
(IN ENGLISH) No!
(SPEAKS SPANISH)
A brother's blade cuts deepest.
Traitor.
(YELLS)
(DRAMATIC ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)
(CHANTING IN TUPI)
FRANK: (IN ENGLISH) The Chief knew
he was breathing his last breath.
And he used that breath
to protect the Arrowhead
and their sacred Tree.
He cursed Aguirre.
He cursed all of us, so that we could
never leave sight of the river again.
- (SPEAKING SPANISH) Where did she go?
- She can't be far!
FRANK: (IN ENGLISH) Or the jungle would
take us back to it, for all eternity.
(CONTINUES CHANTING IN TUPI)
(YELPS)
(SCREAMING)
FRANK: Aguirre hated me for betraying him.
He found me over the years, and we fought.
And fought again.
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
FRANK: I got tired of being stabbed.
So I made sure he would never hurt me
or anyone else again.
(SCREAMING)
I trapped them in a cave.
(SPEAKING SPANISH) The river!
Where is it?
FRANK: (IN ENGLISH) Where the jungle
couldn't take them back to the river.
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
We have to get out of here!
(DRAMATIC ROCK MUSIC CONTINUES)
(ALL GRUNTING AND GROANING)
(GROANS)
Francisco, you will pay for this!
FRANK: (IN ENGLISH) And for years,
the jungle ravaged their bodies.
Turning them into
the monsters they are today.
I don't know how they got free,
but I was safe for a long time.
What did you do?
Well, I made the best of it.
I built a town.
And that was fun.
Made some friends.
Lost some friends.
That's when I decided
to search for the Tears of the Moon.
I built a boat.
And I named her
after the goddess of the moon, Quila.
I charted every inch of this river,
searching.
Till I finally gave up.
And since I could never
leave sight of the river,
I started giving
jungle cruises to tourists.
- All that time, all alone...
- (PROXIMA WHINES)
Well, not entirely alone, of course.
That's right.
Over the years, I would find strays
that needed someone.
The next, after the next, after the next.
And la próxima, la próxima...
LILY: La próxima?
FRANK: Proxima, yes,
- I name 'em all Proxima.
- Oh, la próxima.
Oh, but don't worry,
you're my favorite girl.
MACGREGOR: (SINGING)
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream
You're meant to join in
on the second verse.
I'll do it again, shall I?
(SINGING) Row, row, row...
I'm begging you, stop!
MACGREGOR: Are we there yet?
TRADER SAM: No!
(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING)
Got one.
I spy with my little eye
something beginning with...
"S."
Thought you might want a lift.
Hey!
TRADER SAM: I don't take lifts
from strangers.
Cup of tea?
So, how do you enjoy this
(IN THICK ACCENT) jungle?
I beg your pardon?
This jungle.
- Yeah, sorry?
- The jungle.
Try it slower.
The jungle.
Could you pop it in a sentence?
The trees, the bugs... The... The jungle.
- The jungle?
- Yes. That is what I said.
- Right.
- How do you enjoy it?
It's actually rather grown on me.
I don't care anymore.
(DEVICE WHISTLES)
AXEL: (ON SPEAKER)
Sir, we have arrived at the target.
Ah. Time to make a deal.
(HORN TOOTS)
Look, right through here.
You see the peaceful Puka Michuna tribe?
With the touch of this button here,
I could end innocent lives.
Their only crime being
that they are still living.
Your sister and the Arrowhead were here.
Now, I need to know where she is going.
The choice is yours.
Do they live or do they die?
FRANK: Let me help you.
LILY: No, it's my turn.
- FRANK: Okay. You gotta listen to her.
- (ENGINE THROBBING)
- It's perfect.
- Pretty good.
Yeah. Now we can just cruise.
- (SHIFTS GEAR)
- (STEAM HISSES)
Do you know how many years
people have been looking for that?
- This old thing?
- Yeah. That old thing.
How is it that you turn up with it?
Stole it.
You stole it?
Liberated it. How about that?
Okay.
I've searched for this thing for so long,
but I'm pretty sure it belongs to you.
What are you gonna do
when you find the Tree?
Lift the curse.
And what will happen to you?
Well...
(SIGHS) I get to make a choice.
And I choose to rest.
Hey, Lily, look.
Everything that you see
that's new in this world,
I've seen hundreds of thousands of times.
Yes, but none of it has been meaningful.
(ANIMAL HOOTS IN DISTANCE)
All right. Where are they?
I don't actually recognize the specific...
- (SHOUTS) Where?
- There.
(BEES BUZZING)
I think you got it.
JOACHIM: The Tree is here
and will be ours.
I cannot share my discoveries
with their masters.
You've been down here a while?
(ADVENTUROUS MUSIC PLAYING)
LILY: This has got to be "water to stone."
Do you think that we climb?
I don't think we're meant to go up.
We're in luck.
There's a chamber down there
with a lever in it.
I think pulling it is the key.
LILY: That's wonderful!
FRANK: It's wonderful. It's fantastic.
Only problem is that
the ancients who built all of this
were on average narrower.
- Mm-hmm.
- So, it's a great time for you
to take the finest bath in all Brazil.
- No, no, no. Frank, Frank, please!
- Yes. Pants, listen...
I cannot swim, Frank.
That is not something I can do.
You've never tried.
It's not about trying.
I have this very deep fear.
FRANK: I'll do all the swimming.
- Frank, please.
- Listen... Look,
I can't do this without you.
I need you.
You have to trust me.
No, no. Frank, Frank, Frank, please.
I thought you might, uh...
Just turn around
and look at the waterfall, Skippy.
- All right? Please.
- Fine. Whew.
Don't look.
Are you wearing pants under your pants?
- Yes.
- Oh, my God! Frank!
It's okay. It's okay.
- Here we go.
- I'm not... No, no!
Wait a minute!
Something just touched my foot, Frank!
It's okay, it's okay. It was my foot.
(WHISPERS) Oh, I'm so sorry.
- I'm very scared.
- Okay. I got you.
It's okay. Breathe.
- Ready? Okay.
- Yes.

(COUGHS)
- (FRANK GROANS)
- What is the matter with you, Frank?
- You're alive!
- How could you leave me?
I didn't leave you.
There was a lot of fish down there that...
What? Fish? Frank...
There were lot of piranha,
they were coming after...
- I saved you. Look.
- Don't even look at me.
Fine.
"Turn water to stone..."
FRANK: After years...
I found it.
We found it.
(LAUGHING)
Now you can be the Darwin of flowers.
The petal's right there,
you can be free. You can...
I mean, it's not like
the river's not beautiful,
but you can go anywhere
and you can see the world.
You can come to London.
I'm from London. I could show it to you.
I even have a motor car.
I could be like your skipper,
Skippy... If you want.
Lily, I would love
to do all that with you.
But I've made up my mind.
There is no London for me after this.
There's no motor car.
I'm ready.
LILY: (SOFTLY) No.
It's my time. It was my time long ago.
No. No, I don't accept it.
You could have one more life.
Luckily for me, it's my choice.
Well, it shouldn't be,
because you have very poor judgement.
But you have your world to go back to.
It's your world.
But it could be yours, too.
It could be that
one person's world enough.
Could be.
- Lily...
- (METALLIC GROANING)
Lily.
Hello.
Small chance I told a madman with a cannon
where to find you.
(BEE BUZZING)
(MEN SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY)
JOACHIM: Oh, so, we finally meet.
Wow. Big, strong boy, huh?
(g*ns COCK)
Go to the bridge. Go.
I believe this belongs to you.
Now, the Arrowhead, please?
- (g*n COCKS)
- LILY: No, no, no.
Such an imaginative woman
seeking the Tears of the Moon
to share with the scientific community
that won't even permit you, Fräulein,
to sit among them.
To put that tremendous power
into the hands of the masses
would be pure madness.
When I could use the Tears,
not only to win the w*r,
but to reign for all generations to come.
JOACHIM: (SPEAKING GERMAN) Take them away.
(RUSHES IN GERMAN)
(IN ENGLISH) Eyes ahead.
Navigate to the Tree.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(SLOW DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
This Tree is long dead.
You know more about the Tears of the Moon
than anyone, so...
you know how to make it bloom.
You will do this for me.
And when you have what you want,
what's to stop you from k*lling us then?
I could k*ll you now.
(g*n COCKS)
I'll do it.
If you promise to let them go
and give me one single petal in return.
I know the myths and the ancient ways
as if I've lived them myself.
(WHISPERS) Frank, do not...
FRANK: If anyone here is going to bring
the Tears of the Moon, it's me.
(JOACHIM SPEAKS GERMAN)
(IN ENGLISH) If you can make
the Tree bloom, you may have your petal.
You have my word.
There's no other way.
But the little brother stays on the boat.
Little brother? I have a name.
(TENSE MUSIC PLAYING)
Wow, it is wonderful. (CHUCKLES)
Go ahead.
The Arrowhead should fit here.
(EXCLAIMS IN GERMAN)
- You better go help him. Go.
- LILY: No.
No?
- (SPEAKS GERMAN)
- (g*n COCKS)
I'll do it if you give me a petal as well.
If I give you a petal as well...
One petal. Not two. You must choose.
What do you think, Muscles?
Will you sacrifice your petal for her?
She'd have to k*ll me first.
Ja? (CHUCKLES)
- Done.
- Done.

to tell you about the Tears of the Moon.
The legend is true.
Our party traveled further into the Amazon
than any expedition had previously dared.
On our trip,
the lines between life and death,
past and present, vanished.
I witnessed things not to be believed.
Enchanted dolphins
that could haunt one's dreams.
Undead conquistadors,
cursed as prisoners of the jungle
for nearly years.
A tribe whose chief, a lady...
(CROWD EXCLAIMS DISAPPROVINGLY)
No! It actually worked rather well.
My point is, this was a journey
the likes of which
this society has never seen.
An adventure truly worthy
of this association.
But is this association
worthy of our great adventure?
You see, we didn't seek
the Tears of the Moon
so that we could be written up
in some journal
for a load of crusty old farts.
(CROWD EXCLAIMS DISAPPROVINGLY)
My sister, who just made
full professor at Cambridge,
has asked me to respectfully reject
your invitation of membership
on her behalf.
Which I will do. Just not respectfully.
Gentlemen, you can take your invitation
and you can shove it up your association.
