Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals
This is a true story as reported by JENNIFER O'SULLIVAN
Hey,quick there, Get a straitjacket!
Hold her! Colque it now!
Watch it!
I'll give her an injection.
Better watches,She just bits out a chunk one out of a nurse's breast.
She was found on the edge of the Mato Grosso, She is a real savage.
Let me listen to your heart.
Coming on now,coming on Get back to your rooms please.
Emanuelle! What are you doing here? you want to be discoverd?
If its found out that you're a journalist Can you imagine this kind of would breakout Don't you understand that?
Fortunatelly tomorrow you're leaving so my worries would be over,
ohh by the way, tell your editor that next time ...
he wants to need my services, the price would be double,remember that.
Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you.
What is your name?
Why don't you say anything? you are confused?
Or maybe you don't understand.
She bits out a chunk of nurses's breast.
Just like a cannibal, fantastic! This could be a great scoop.
- How's the nurse now? - She will be allright.
But she have lost a breast. However seems she asked for it.
She is a well known for homosexually promonation. She is the one who started to abusing the poor girl.
There were three horrible weeks No one can imagine what happens there.
Ohh, by the way, Rod..
Our friend a doctor said the next time the price will be double.
- But should there be a next time? Don't you count on me. - Oh, come on!
Look what a scoop it could lead to.
Look Rod, look what a funny tattoo she's got above her pubic region.
Yeah, very strange. Looks like a nastic symbol.
Or something very much like it.Let's go & ask Nelson, He is bound to know something about this He will tell us.
As for the records we have in the archives Its looks to be alike.
It's a symbol of the tupinambas.Here an antique tribal cannibals now completely extinct.
Well, I hope to be give some help Further I have to go now, back to work
- Thank you, Nelson. - This information is Cannibal,
Just think of a title will be spread all across that front page
"White Childs raised by wild tribes of the Amazon"!
You can very well say a tribe of cannibals.
The girl, ate that nurse's breast Didn't she ?
You're right."The last cannibals!" Man! What a scoop! You know I just have a very good idea!
Have you ever heard of Professor Mark Lester?
- No. - He's a most famous anthropologist ...
who carried out several expeditions among the Amazon River.
- very successfully. - You better forget about any ideas, Rod
After my last experience, I'm taking a month off.
Oh, by the way, Emanuelle ...
Professor Lester is the curator of the Natural History Museum.
You can find him there.
- Professor Lester? - Yes? what can I do for you?
- I must admit that,I thought that you would have been much older. - Well, thank you very much!
My name is Emmanuelle, Professor, and I'm an evening Post reporter.
If it's an interview,you want of me, I will be glad talk to you about it over lunch.Ok!
I finish my work here and I'm free, so I can take you to a little Italian restaurant I know of.
- Excuse me, just a minute. - Certainly.
-Give this sheet to Mrs. Brown and tell her, I will call her this evening. -Very well Professor.
Shall we?
- Your work must be very interesting Professor. - Yes, quite interesting.
Although I must admit that on a cagings like this, I welcome a break for my fossils.
Professor Lester, my paper is publishing a series of articles on tribal customs.
And I would like very much to know more about it.
We know that you're quite... an authority on this subject.
and you carried out... some expeditions.
among the most ferocious tribes of the Amazon.
Yes indeed as quite right, but the subject is so vast that I'm afraid...
that if you want to know more about it, you should go to my house.
And you think, Professor that, it could be risky to accept?
When even knows,but If I were you, I will be very carefull.
Well, for the sake of my article maybe its worth risking.
Well, let's stop joking now and talk seriously for a moment.Shall we?
If you come to my house,I will be able to show you...
a complete and full documentation on cannibalism.
- I'll come. - I also have some very interesting films on it.
Really?
I know I sounds like one of those guys who says come and see my archives,But I do have that documentation.
But, I do believe you professor.
By the way, I like to make you an offer, An expedition to the Amazon.
Lead by you and fully subsidize by my paper,of course.
Or perhaps you think it isn't worthwhile.
Leaving all your work at the museum, or maybe you passed the age for this sort of thing?
- Well then? - Well, you are provoking me, young lady.
But I will only answer you after having show me some very interesting material.
This is in Tanzania. These pictures were taken not long ago...
by the famous anthropologist William Simmons.
It's all about two adulterers by the cannibal tribe.
There you see,this is a classical example of ritual cannibalism.
As you see,of the women, only the eyes are eaten by relatives of the husband.
While on the other hand, wife's relatives eats the man's penis.
The terrible pictures, but its not Africa that interests me, its the Amazon.
Look at this photo.This girl was found Tapurucuará right outside the jungle
and it seems a tattoo. The symbol of the tupinambá.
Strange, this tribe is extinct.
The descendants of Tupinambá are the Apiacás.
But its been years now since even been heared of.
Hmm, Very interesting.
I think I'll accept your offer to lead an expedition.
Why not we get together later,because now I got to go and take care of something.
A man?
You can possibly think that I been waiting for you all my life.
I am a free woman,and I behave as such.
You're fascinating, Emanuelle. But I rest assure that, not intend to fall in love with you.
It's all settled, Lester will lead the expedition.
- Get everything ready for tomorrow. - No, wait a minute, just imagine Emanuelle.
I think it's too dangerous. We better forget the whole thing.
No, Since I intend to leave tomorrow.
This assignment is far to important for me and for the paper.
You do understand that. don't you?
Alright, You win. I'm to help by know regret giving my consent.
But please, be very careful.
Phil, go ahead ready the preparations for the expedition.
You know, darling, I was terribly worried about you when you did that enquiry...
into that horrible lunatic asylum.
Thank God, its all over. So we can think go away together.
No, Peter, we can't. Tomorrow I'm leaving for the Amazon..for work.
Something very, very interesting.
- It's about cannibals. - Emanuelle, you're crazy.
Your'e really really crazy.
Maybe I'm. But right now I want to make love.
- Right now? - Right now!
And good luck, Baby!
Chao!
We better stop a minute so that I can send a telegram to...
my friend Will for arrival.
Be right back, won't be long.
That's the place where the poor girl is kept, Who knows that she is really mad...
or its a reaction because she's out of her element.
Pan-Am announces the departure flight No.218 to Sant Paulo.
The Passengers,are kindly requested to go to the gate number 26. Thank you.
Good morning, The two tickets for the Evening post, please.
Thank you.
- Why are they still cannibals? - The reasons are many and nearly always of a social origin.
There are political cannibalism like Amin,and then..
there are cases of cannibalism tolerated by civilized authorities.
Like the plane that crashed in the Andes.
Amazonia ...is a land that lives according to its own rules.
At times,the tribal rituals or the needs of its inhabitants make them eat human flesh.
You see down there?
That village is people having eternal fight for survival.
- Really? - As sure do? - Why?
Well,because in this climate,vegetation grows so fast ...
that it would smothered them, if they didn't.
- Look, we're almost arrived. - I don't see anything.
Soon we'll be flying below the clouds, then you will be seeing the landing strip.
- Nice Bird. - I took the girl to the Red Cross.
- Where did you find her? - Well it was really new Father.
was Father Morales.
A missionary who lives in the jungle about a 100 miles from here.
She was wounded,and a state of shock, and was delirious.
Although I'm an expert on the Amazonian dialects...
when I asked her questions on where is she came from...
and who she was, she didn't answer me. Or maybe she just didn't understand me.
Now about cannibalism, In over 25 years ...
I have only known of two cases, both of which were hushed up by the government.
That girl has a tattoo above her pubic region which seems to be the tribal symbol of the Apiaca.
That's Impossible! The Apiacas have been extinct for over 50 years!
- That's what I thought, but now ... - Mark! Mark Lester!
Isabelle! You're grown up to be a woman! Last time I saw you were, She was that height!
Six years have gone by since you are here, Lester you know.
- This is Sister Angela, This young lady is Emanuelle. - Hello
Famous journalist she is just came all the way to write an article on the Apiacas.
You tell her sister, that Apiacas haven't been heard on for here for over 50 years!
Father Morales might be able to help you... as he is in touch with all the tribes of the Jungle.
As tomorrow morning, I'm going to the mission to take them among the Supplies, why don't you all come with me?
- What do you mean go with you? - As certainly,she's taking my place.
- She is far more efficient than a old man like me. - Ohh come on.
The river, takes five to six days to reach the mission.
Usually there's no trouble. Ohh by the way, Sister Angela will go with you.
Isabelle made that journey atleast 10 times I'm very proud of her,very proud of it.
That's good girl,that Isabelle.
There will be Felipe and Manolo two Indians to help you.
Make arrangements for Isabelle for your return, She will come and get you whenever you want.
And don't forget now, young lady,that you promised to spend a few days here on your return, Allright?
I always keep my promises. It will be a pleasure for me.
For me, too. Father Morales will be very pleased to see you.
He hates coming here,amongst the savages,as they calls us.
Well, He is a very wonderful man you know.
- Well, Have a good trip, Mark. - Thank you, Wilkes.
- Everything alright, sister? - Yes, thank you. Goodbye.
- Careful with this, Manolo. - Come on! Put it here.
- Bye, Daddy. - Goodbye baby. and be careful now.
Yes, don't worry. Here, this is the last one.
Here.
Hey, you forgot your gun and the hat,Isabelle.
Oh! Thank you, Daddy.
- Bye! - Bye.
- Goodbye! - Take care, Wilkes!
- Don't worry, Daddy! - Goodbye!
Here we on our way.
I'm from Dublin, I went to for my sister's wedding and I can't wait to be back of the mission.
There is much to be done there. Although We're four sisters and Father Morales would can't afford to be wait to long.
Around here,superstitions is still very strong.
Just think,that there are still witch doctors..that cure peoples with herbs
and strange rituals.
However, One's must admit many times there incutions of herbs are very beneficial.
So much so that we at the mission have doctored many of there decoctions..
with very great success.
- Okay, Philip, we will stop here! - Okay, okay.
- I saw you with Mark. - When?
Last night, when your'e making love.
Oh Look, An Ape!
Look, alligators!
Here!
It looks like a good place for camping.
Tie the boatup here.
Hold tight!
Thank you, Isabelle.
- I'm afraid I have to reload. - What Again?
For my article, I need a lot of pictures.
Give me the gun, quick!
Don't shoot, it's too dangerous!
Are you alright? Let me get it off to you.
- Thank you very much. - Ohh don't mention it, its nothing.
My name is Donald McKenzie. My camp is over there.
- I'm Mark Lester. - You can come to my camp. - Let's go.
We're on our way to Father Morales mission.
I'm Sorry to have to tell you this, but there is no more mission.
They were attacked by some savages, We got there shortly after it happened.
I tried to used the mission's radio but unfortunately it had been damaged.
What about the children, the sisters and Father Morales?
I'm sure the natives couldn't have harm them.
- They were also fond of him. - I don't know about him.
I didn't find his body among those killed of the mission.
We only found the bodies of some sisters and children.
It was a massacre.
- Donald! What happened? I heard of shots. - Nothing, only a snake.
- Ohh,This is my wife, Maggie. - Hi! - Hello!
Salvador! Help them with tents and prepare some food.
- We were going to the mission. - Oh, I'm sorry. - Alright.
Don't despair, maybe they weren't all killed.
Some could be hiding in the jungle.
We will organize a search with helicopters.
Please, please, Don't cry,
I will Never forget what I saw. All over the bodies were horribly mutilated.
May I ask you ?
- What are you doing here in the jungle? - Ah, Hunting.
Hunting is my life.
I have sacrificed a lot to follow my craving for hunting.
You'll never be able to understand what my feelings when I saw a track of an animal.
The satisfaction for catching it...and to kill.
Why don't you hunt in Africa? It's far less dangerous there.
In Black Africa? I don't call that hunting.
They Put you on a Land Rover, from where you can find the animal you have choosen to kill.
and for which it times you have to pay very dearly .
And you shoot...
No.
Here is entirely different. First of all the country is unexplored.
Second,you have to share risks with the animals.
Man too can be hunted, as with you and the snake.
Are you quite sure that the tribe you talking about are cannibals?
Yes, the tribe we're here to locate are indeed cannibals.
They tie up their victims, rip open their bellies ...
and tear out their insides and eat it.
The first thing they eat is the heart. Because they believes that in doing so
they absorb the victims courage and virtues.
If It's not pushed by hunger, leave the remains to the vultures.
No thanks, I'm not hungry.
Come with me.
We can't go on. I don't think it's right to ...
risk Sister Angela and Isabelle's lifes. Too dangerous.
We better go back and organize another expedition.
If they were the Apiacá that attacked the mission something must have made them come into the open night that, Don't you think?
Maybe it was the girl in the asylum. Perhaps she was connected to them for some reason or other.
Too bad we don't have a radio.
We could have ask Wilkes to arrange for our return home.
I'm not sorry to have to go back to Newyork without having accomplished assignments.
But under this circumstances, I think you took the right decision.
I couldn't get to sleep.
McKenzie, After what you told us What happened to the mission...
we decided to return to the base of Tapurucuará.
We are taking Sister Angela and Isabelle back there.
And I think it would be better you did the same if you could.
It's dangerous to remain here.
No, I don't think so, and then I always have my gun with me.
I came here to hunt, and if my game happens to be a human being, I don't mind.
Thanks for the invitation, but I prefer to go on.
Well, I think we better go and hit the sack now. Good night.
Good night.
Where have you been?
- I asked you where have you been? - To get a breath of fresh air.
- Is that how you call it now? You are just a tramp. - And you're an impotent!
- You broke your promise! - Yes I did it,so what? let me sleep now.
Now I wanna talk to you. Professor Lester wants to go back.
- We can't go back, we must go on. - Yehh, and we will continue.
But If he should tried to convince you, you be firm. Refuse! But watch what you say.
Don't worry, Donald, I will be Careful, I know what's at stake.
Let's sleep now.
- Run! Manolo's dead! - Let's go
Poor Manolo!
Oh, my God!
That's the work of the Apiacás.
They also taking the boat. They can't been many.
- Other would, they would have attacked us. - Damm bastards savages!
Our boat is gone too, with all the provitions, the compass, everything!
This place is dangerous. I think its best that you..you come with us.
We'll follow the river so that we don't get lost. Lets move!
We takes only what's necessary.
Alright, We'll come to.
How we'll be able to find it now?
For the moment, we only have to think about saving our lives.
Later we'll find a way to separate from them, and then we'll continue the search.
Ah, something bitten me! Ah,Ah, It hurts!
- Where? - Here, Right here.
It is very dangerous. A fly can inject their eggs here.
They grow in the flesh causing gangrene.
Its all over now.
Dammit, I just had something to drink!
Look, Isabelle, A Bible! - A Bible?
- There's a blanket here.
Father Morales!
Have no fear,It's not dangerous. It's just a little python.
Help! Mark,Help, I'm sinking! Mark!
Socorro, Mark!
Manolo,Cut a branch,quick! Don't move! Don't move, Isabelle!
- Mark! - I'll get there! Give it to me, quick! - Help me.
Hang on, Isabelle. Do not let go, hold on tight! hold tight!
Help me pull her out! Help me pull her out!
Help me here! Easy, Easy ...
What she putting in my wound?
- Have some rest, Salvador. It's my turn to be on watch. - Okay
- Ohh.. Mark! - Shut up!
What do you doing? Are you gone mad?
Dirty bastard!
That's Enough!
Mark!
C'mon, Mark.
- Where are you going, sister? - well I'd like to...
Salvador! Go with Sister Angela.
In this clearing, we should be quite safe here you know. The Indians will have to come into the open to attack.
Mr. McKenzie! Mr. McKenzie! The sister's disappeared!
She went into the bush for a period, when I called her, she didn't answer!
When I went to look,she wasn't there!
Don't stand here like idiots, let's go for her! Come on!
Be careful. There may be others.
- Too bad, what a shame. - It's far too dangerous to go on in the dark.
We'll start up again at dawn.
Ok.
Oh God, help! Help!
Help!
Help! Oh God, help! Help! Help!
- How many cartridges have you got left? - About a dozen. Not so many.
And remember we'll have to use some of them for hunting for food.
- Look, I found a piece of Sister Angela's habit! - Which means, we are on the right track.
- I wonder Why they haven't not attacked us? - Maybe they only want to take us one by one.
- Why should they? - Maybe they have to have fresh meat all the time.
Ahh..It's useless going on.
By now Sister Angela will have been well digested by those cannibals.
- Listen you... - No you listen, Professor!
We only came with you because we were forced to join.
- but now on, I make my own decisions. - McKenzie, I only suggested ...
Ohh Nonsense! Forget it!
- Donald! - What is it?
- Look, what could it be? - Can't you see?
It's a piece of the plane. We're getting near!
Professor! I realised, I was a little hasty before. Please forgive me.
My nerves are bit roll.
Calm down!
The river shouldn't be very far now.
But I think we better camp here for the night.
Why do you want to stop here?
Now its time to apart from them, we must be getting nearer to the plane.
You better go to sleep now, Lester.
I will take your place. You haven't gotten much rest these last couple of days.
Thank you. But wake me up in two hours.
That way.
Lets go and look over there. I saw something gleaming when we passed here today.
There it is! We found it!
At last! Let's look for them.
Look under the seats!
Wait, I'll help you!
Here! I've Got it!
Open, At last...
In Here ...
Finally ...
Let's look ...
Look!
We made it! We made it, Maggie! We're rich now!
Now lets hope we get out of here alive.
Yes ..
Yes, we will.
- I just hope you don't leave me now. - Ohh, baby.
- You know I always loved you. - No, Maggie, I won't leave you.
- Now that I'm a reborned man. - Oh, Donald!
McKenzie!
Donald! Donald!
Where are you?
Donald!
Follow me!
- Lester! - McKenzie, what happened?
- The Apiacas! We must follow them! They have taken Maggie! - No, that's wasn't safe.
Hey, there's a radio here.
Dammit!
The plane crashed two years ago,while we's on a straight back from a diamonds field.
I knew of it,because I was working there.
That's make me came to the Amazon ...to find the diamonds.
And now those savages have taken them...and my Maggie!
I'll forget about the diamonds.
What we found is much more important.
A rocket gun and an emergency rocket.
- We'll look for Maggie. - Hello? Please reply to me.
Nothing. I tried all frequencies.
The Apiacas village is should be on that island.
Maggie still alive,they won't sacrificed her until dawn.
Because they believe that the gods in the dark of night.
can't find ...their victim's soul.
We better wait till daybreak to cross the River.
Is it huge more to have their victim sacrificed till dawn?
Only of special occasions.
Probably they are in the affect of Apena, which is a special type of drug ...
which induces them to violence and aggressiveness.
In general they only use it during their tribal rituals.
We'll know more about it tomorrow, if we can tell what we seen.
Let's hope.
It was a quite night, but now those savages will stop to move.
Bastards.
They lit the fires.
Is everything clear? Once we reach the island we split up.
McKenzie, Isabelle and Salvador go one way...
Emanuelle and I will go the other way. We will be guided by the beating of their drums.
Will approach the village from opposite sides.
I'll fire a rocket to signal the attack.
Like that we stand a better chance.
If fortune is on our side,we might be able to...to see poor Maggie.
And then we dash immediately back to the boat. Lets go!
- You go that way. - Ok.
- Watch for the signal. Good luck. - Right
We'll taking that direction.
Look! Our boat!
Come on, untie on it.
Good,there are still some gasoline.
There! that cage, Maggie!
From what I can remember to a read, This is the annual feast of fertility.
During the full moon, they sacrifice their victim to the Goddess of the Waters.
Dawn is coming.
They are too many. If we try to save her now it will be the end for us too.
Get off me!
Let me go!
Maggie! Maggie! No!
Let her alone! You bastards!
Stop it! Maggie! No!
Maggie!
Get off me!
No! Maggie!
I kill you!
Look! Isabelle!
They must have drugged her.
- My God, now they will kill her too. - No, if it is as I said ...
they won't kill her,Look.
You see? Every year they take a young girl who is pregnant ...
they sacrifices her to the Goddess of Waters.
They kill her later on the banks of the river.
- But Isabelle is not pregnant! - Watch, what will happen now.
Let's get away from here, let's try to do something.
Let's go.
It is sacrificial stone.
We must think something quick. They get her here soon, Isabelle will be killed.
Mark, I have an idea and I think it might work.
Now I'm convinced that poor girl of New York must have meant alot to them. What do you think my dear?
- You're crazy. - It's atleast I can do.
We can't let her die. I'm sure it will work.
The Indians are very superstitious. You know that as well as I do.
As I look very much like them. They will believe that their goddess of the waters is come to receive their sacrifice.
And the poor they realize what's really happening, we'll be away and safe.
Okay, let's try.
Time is come, go on.
- Give me the pipe. - Good luck.
Swim as fast as you can!
Quick! Climb up!
Damn it all!, Doesn't start!
Wait to shoot until when they kept near.
Shoot them now!
We made it!
Here, Put this on.
I didn't think, I was capable of shooting at a man.
Then they say that a journalist will do almost anything for an article.
I should be satisfied to collecting of materials for a really sensational scoop.
But It isn't so. Manolo, Philip, Salvador...
lost their lives because they followed us on this mad adventure.
And for what, that I like to know.
And Sister Angela, so sweet. and Maggie and Donald with their shabbiness...
Don't take it bad, Emanuelle. Nobody's fault.
