The Invisible Ray Page #3

Synopsis: Visionary scientist Janos Rukh convinces a group of scientists and supporters to mount an expedition to the African continent to locate and study an ancient meteorite of great significance. He exposes himself to the highly toxic radiation of the meteorite, and while an antidote devised by Dr. Benet saves him from death by radiation poisoning, his naked touch causes instant death to others. Back in London, the benefits of the meteorite's controlled radiation offer Dr. Benet an opportunity to restore eyesight to the blind. The antidote's toxicity excites Prof. Rukh into paranoid rages as he seeks revenge against the members of his expedition, who he accuses of stealing his discovery for their own glory.

Zithilium.

One milligram,

drawn directly

from the spectrum

of the sun.

Turn it off.

[Birds cawing]

Interesting.

But I must admit

I'm quite ready

to leave Africa

the moment

that your experiments

are completed.

After eight weeks of this,

I admit that I'm fed up.

[Speaking native language]

[Speaking native language]

I know every wheeze

and every crack

of every record.

[Sighing]

Glad to see

signs of rhino about.

We'll go out

after them tomorrow.

Yes. You've only got

six to your credit.

Oh, well, they're such

nasty-tempered beasts,

it is a pleasure

to dispose of them.

[Birds chirping]

[Sighs]

This must be lonely

for Diana.

Of course.

It's your fault.

Why do you say that?

Oh, Ronnie, the way you two

avoid each other

is most pointed.

Why can't you be

pleasantly friendly with her

as you were at first?

Well, if you must know,

I don't dare to be.

Becoming interested?

Yes.

I thought so.

You're in love.

Well,

what could be more natural?

An African moon,

two healthy young animals...

Oh, stop it.

We're not animals.

And that's just it.

And it isn't too easy,

so please don't make us

into fiction for your book.

Well, you are interested.

[Birds chirping]

Oh, so you're back, Arabella.

Yes. We got an antelope

and a fine leopard.

My ankles are worse.

I tell you, I'm getting

heartily sick of Africa.

And I don't see any use

in waiting for Rukh

any longer.

It's evident he has

elected to desert us.

Well, we can't go

and leave his wife

here alone,

even though he's forgotten

she came along.

After all,

she is Rukh's affair,

not ours.

She is my affair.

I'm fond of her.

Well, I'm not fond enough

of anyone

to make this

my permanent abode.

Temba, more water, please.

[Exclaims]

[Electronic signal buzzing]

[Screaming]

[Man shouting]

[Buzzing]

[Electric signal

beeping rapidly]

[Volcano rumbling]

[Men chattering

in native language]

Choco. The small package.

[Speaking native language]

Boss, put on hat.

Very hot here.

Boss found place he look for

many days now, maybe?

There's no doubt of it.

No doubt of it.

Safari boys

no like this place, boss.

Why not?

Look in pit,

fall in, many devil.

Pick me out a runner.

I want to send a letter

to the main camp immediately.

Me do.

[Speaking native language]

This boy go.

He very fast.

Hold box.

How long will he take

to reach the main camp?

This time tomorrow night,

he get there.

All downhill.

Good.

Boss, wants him to wait,

bring back answer paper?

Yes.

Now, give this

to the young mistress.

Don't say a word

about where we are.

And make sure

he understands.

[Speaking native language]
