The Lost Treasure of the Grand Canyon Page #4

- We'll all walk.

- langford:
let's go.

What is that?

- Susan:
One of those men?

- It doesn't look like a man.

Iangford:

Where is he going?

Man:

He's found water.

Iangford:
let's quickly fill

the canteens and keep moving.

What is it?

I don't know, but there's

one of them and five of us.

- Stuck-- I'm stuck.

- What's happening?

- What's happening?!

- Here, take my hand.

No no no, Susan, relax.

You guys, try not to move.

Okay, Susan, it's quicksand.

You have to help them.

Susan...

Isaac, reach for the stick.

Reach.

- Grab this.

- langford:
Hildy.

I can't reach it.

I can't reach it.

Iangford:

lsaac, lsaac, grab hold.

Be careful. Be careful.

Pull, lsaac.

- I'm getting the gun.

- What? No!

- Dr. Thain?

- What?

Don't move, don't move, don't move.

Stay still.

No, they'll just pull you in.

Stop moving, lsaac.

Stay still.

Ieave no man behind?

What about us?

We should thank you, actually.

You found our water source.

I hate to tell you, but that stuff

doesn't taste very good.

Well, there's a well

of groundwater beneath us.

The soil here is too porous.

But over there,

all we need to do is dig.

Why did you come?

I thought it was too dangerous.

Academic curiosity.

- We're close.

- How do you know?

Well, if anyone lives around here,

they'd need a water source.

Is that real?

That's real.

Come on, lsaac.

Isaac:

I'm coming. I'm coming.

How did you find us?

Uh...

the bartender in that cantina

told me of a shortcut.

- The bartender?

- Yes.

I took a train two towns up

and cut you off from the north.

I came across your tracks

about a mile back.

I'm glad you're here.

Normally you're in your tent

with your head in a book.

Quetzalcoatl...

Aztecs.

Bravo, Dr. Thain.

How do we get around it?

We don't.

We go over it.

Spread out. Get down!

Get back!

Get back or I'll kill you all!

Susan, Susan!

Susan, where are you going?

Where is she going?

To get shot, from the looks of it.

Dr. Gilmore, is that you?

Oh, you found us.

Thank heaven.

Thank heaven

you found us.

Gilmore:
Your father and the others

went over days ago--

or maybe weeks.

I don't even know anymore.

But he's inside, sweetheart,

and I don't think he's coming out.

There was noise

that first night-- loud--

drums beating,

screaming, shouting.

Something bad happens

when they beat those drums.

I don't know what it is,

but it's something bad.

How did they get inside?

Climbed over the rocks--

the ones that made it.

- What about you?

- I didn't make it, did l?

- The other ones weren't so lucky.

- Susan:
Here.

Have some more water.

Before they went over,

they sent a man

back to town to send

your father's book to you.
