Samoa Regina della Jungla (Samoa, Queen of the Jungle) Page #3

Now, where

are you taking us?

To the top of the mountain,

to my village.

No, hold on!

Who's to say

it's not a trap?

She showed up after

the natives fled,

she could be their accomplice.

She might be part

of the same tribe.

Why should she be trusted?

Thank you, Nancy.

All in all,

we have no other choice.

Come.

There, that is my village.

The grand chief

wishes you welcome.

He asks the reason for your trip

to the heart of the island.

My comrades and I

are doing research on the age

and formation of

the South Seas islands

analyzing rocks and

minerals in the soil.

You need rest.

His son Daran will accompany you.

We will talk later of

your trip. Come.

Professor... should we start here?

Yes. We'll split up

as intended.

The diamond streams

must be there.

See you back at the village.

Let's go, Alain.

You try that side.

What marvelous scenery.

I don't know why,

but it seems familiar to me.

Maybe I've seen it in a dream.

Look.

Take the other one,

leave me with Samoa.

She may know

about the diamonds.

Me, Alain...

And you?

Jasmine. Me, Alain...

No. Me, Alain.

Me, Alain... you, Jasmine.

Me, Alain...

And me, Samoa.

Why do you speak our language?

I am the daughter of a white man

who lived here.

He married a native.

She is dead.

My father died also, shortly after.

But he taught me his language.

Who was your father,

what was he doing here?

He was a strange man.

He was searching for something here.

Then he fell in love with

his "paradise" and he stayed.

What was he looking for, exactly?

I don't know.

Maybe the same thing as you.

What do you think?

You're very beautiful, Samoa.

After our survey,

the situation is clear.

Several streams

converge at the falls.

Some don't run for

part of the year,

and I doubt they contain

any diamonds.

The others run continuously.

And?

If Mr. Wang's indications

are correct,

those are the streams

that interest us.

Tomorrow at dawn, we'll begin

to sift the stream.

- It's Clint.

- One moment.

At dawn,

we begin our research.

You plan to bring

this native,

Samoa?

No. Why?

If I were you, Clint,

I'd avoid her.

I'd stay as far

aways as possible.

Doc, a hundred bucks says I find

the first diamonds!

I'll take that bet, Alain.

Sample no 15.

Presence of crystallized minerals

and traces of quartz sand.

You find anything?

Still nothing.

In this sample,

traces of wolframite, uraninite

and perhaps molybdenite.

No fancy words, Professor.

Are there diamonds, yes or no?

I am a geologist, Mr. Moreau,

not a diviner.

Moreau is impatient,

like all of us.

We risked our hides

to get here.

Is there any hope?

No one can say.

Well, until tomorrow.
