A Far Off Place Page #3

Wind can do it, we can do it.

Just bring me to the nearest town.

- Where's he going?

- To see if they're following us.

- So how far are we going?

- It's pretty far.

So what was all that crap

about following the wind?

It's not crap. He had a tapping.

That crap saved your life.

How do you think he knew

we were in danger last night?

Bushmen see the future.

You wouldn't understand.

- And you believe in this?

- I don't know.

My father did.

Tapping's kind of like

knocking on a door.

And when the door opens, they can

see things that the eyes can't see

and hear things that the ears don't hear.

- Well?

- They go here.

It looks like one. More than one people.

Was an animal, a dog.

Which way?

West?

West is the Kalahari.

That's ridiculous.

The girl was born and raised here.

She'd know better than that.

I didn't know it would be

so cold in Africa.

What about you?

Come on. Let's go.

- What's the big rush?

- It's trackers.

Xhabbo, they're not looking for you,

and you might get hurt.

- I want you to leave us now, OK?

- No, wait, wait. Speak for yourself.

I don't want this guy to leave.

He's our guide.

As brother and sister,

we go together or we stop.

You need to rest?

No, I'm fine, thanks.

- What's he saying?

- Elephants.

Elephants.

- What's he doing?

- He's talking to them.

Yeah, well,

I can see that, but what for?

To cover our tracks.

OK, they agree to help.

Do you want a written invitation?

Come on!

Oh, this is great.

I'm on safari with Doctor Dolittle.

- What's wrong?

- It has gone.

- What do you mean, gone?

- Elephants. Tracks gone.

Hunter's Drift, come in.

Hunter's Drift, come in.

Hunter's Drift, come in!

- What's he saying?

- He's thanking them.

Thanks.

To the ones who speak English.

- Let's camp here, all right?

- We're gonna cross that?

Yeah.

- The nearest town's across that?

- Mm-hm.

- But you said that...

- When we get you to Karlstown,

we're gonna put you on a plane for New

York. That's what you wanted, isn't it?

Karlstown! Wait, Karlstown's on

the ocean. You said the nearest town!

- Karlstown is the nearest town.

- You lied to me.

I didn't lie to you.

I said, "the nearest town. "

Yeah, and I said, "How far?"

And you said, "Pretty far. "

- 2000 kilometers is pretty far, isn't it?

- No, that's impossibly far!

That's like walking from New York to

Miami! We're never gonna make it!

I shouldn't have even told you, OK?

- But you wouldn't have ever come.

- And how do you know?

Because that's the kind

of person you are.

You have no idea

what kind of person I am.

Yeah, I do.

You're scared.

You'd be scared, too,

if you had any sense.

So you really think
