article.
It's very interesting.
Did you read it?
- Yes.
So where is it now?
It might have got stucked somewhere...
And who are you?
Let's say I'm acting on behalf of the publisher.
I've got a proposal for you.
I'm listening.
I advise you that you should visit
the old glass factory
...right after you go to the old monastyrs.
...it's nearby.
Of course.
If we have enough time, of course.
Mr Yong.
I'd like to ask you for something.
We're looking for someone to help us with the transport.
We want to rent a 4WD.
I'm terribly sorry.
Unfortunately you're late.
The only 4WD has been just rented
...by a journalist from Europe.
He came to make reportage here.
You can't get through jungle
by normal car.
Maybe there's a car rental
somewhere here?
I can pay you well.
I'm sorry, we've got very few cars
over here.
I can organize a guide for you though.
Our man, Mr Numi.
He'll be your company.
Sirs, I hope that you'll have a pleasant journy
with such company.
Is that necessary?
Unfortunately it is.
But please don't think we're suspicious.
We're just taking care of our visitors.
100 000 for renting a bus?
That's crazy!
They'll use and abuse every situation.
You must get accustomed to it, professor.
Professor!
Oh, Jesus!
Do you know her?
No. She knows me.
How much do you want for that crate?
You gotta be joking.
I can pay you well.
You can have it under one condition.
What condition?
I'm going with you.
No way!
So nothing doing.
Ok, I agree
...but you've got to promise you'll not write
anything about our expedition.
I'm sorry, it's me who
lays down conditions here.
Hello.
- How can I help you?
I want to send a telegram to Paris.
- Here you are.
I'll send it in a minute.
- Thanks.
Give me that telegram!
Now!
I can't do it.
It's confidential.
Let me go!
And?
- She sent a telegram to her editorial office.
The're going to a Lernoht monastery tomorrow.
It's far away. You're staying here
and I'm going back to Paris.
And there were no roads here?
It was all jungle here before.
Only partisans knew secret paths.
Just like my father.
He knew all the roads and paths here.
Even the way to that monastery
we're going to now.
Who knows the way now?
Hey, are you OK?
Good morning.
- Good morning.
You don't recognise me, do you?
No.
And now?
- No.
King f8 - g7.
f8 - g7?
- Yeah, checkmate!
Careful, I'm dirty.
What ere you doing here?
For how many years
we haven't seen each other?
For 15 years.
- 15 years.
Where are you heading?
- Lernoht monastery.
You've got a long way ahead.
I'm living nearby.
Take me with you.
I invite you for dinner.
We're invited for dinner.
Hold on.
Let me grab my things.
Who's that guy?
My Russian friend.
Did you know he's gonna be here?
No.
I don't like your pals.
Mr Traven!
Pleasy hurry up, the hot water is nearly over!
I'm conming
I've been always interested in Far East.
I've been waiting so long for this moment.
Then I was interested in Tibetan philosophy,
...yoga.
It's nearly a year since I started work
in the middle of Asia, and you know what?
...I knew nothing!
Absolutely nothing!
And what are you doing here?
Tourist?
Strolling, looking.
Are you looking for something?
Maybe.
Look at her.
What happened?
Nothing special. Take it easy.
What are you looking at?
Stop!
It's a latest invention of our biochemists.
It paralyses the snakes
without making harm to other beings.
Professor, we might need some of those.
Can we buy some?
I'm sorry.
We've got just few more left.
We're camping here.
This is Lernoht?
Where's the monastery?
A mile from here.
But you can't get there by car.
Besides it's getting dark.
I brought it with me by night.
I didn't want Numi realise we're coming
here not just for a visit to the monastery.
So where are we going?
You'll see when whe get there.
He says there's no such valley.
Tell him,
...thet we'll return all the manuscripts stolen
from the monastery.
If they show
