Yes, Mr. Lane?

You've forgotten about Gus!

Will you see that he gets into

Nancy's cabin?

Right beside her pillow!

Beg pardon, Sir.

Are you Stephen Lane?

- My name's Macklin.

- Macklin?

Why of course, Mr. Macklin!

Mrs. Lane has spoken of you often.

What are you doing in New York?

Dr. Perez sent me.

He wanted me to tell you something.

It's very important.

Step in.

Is he hurt badly?

He's dead.

I've gotten rid of the detectives

and the reporters.

I told them that you were too ill

to see them.

Thank you, Stephen.

Do you think you'd better sail tomorrow

after what's happened?

I'm more certain than ever.

Uncle Raymond's alone now.

Maybe he needs me.

Darling...

I'll cancel our engagement for dinner

tonight. We'll have supper here. Alone.

- Just the two of us.

- That suits me.

Hello, Daddy!

Hello, monkey! Ready for bed?

Yes, Daddy!

- Goodnight, Mumsy.

- Goodnight, my precious.

- Tuck her in bed, will you?

- You bet I will!

Come on, let's go!

I wish you were going with us

tomorrow!

That goes double! I don't know what I'm

going to do without you!

I don't know what I'm going to do

without you either!

You're going to be a good little girl!

And what else?

- Eat my ice cream! - What else?

- Eat my spinach!

- Wait, stop! I forgot something!

- What did you forget?

Oh, I know!

I know...

- No, not that old one!

- Do you know a better one?

Bless Daddy and give him punch to eat

and not spinach!

And bring us back home quick!

You can't get back too quick for me!

Hurry and get in that bed!

Get in there!

Come on, get in there!

- You smell wonderful!

- I do, do I?

- Goodnight, honey!

- Goodnight, Daddy!

Goodnight!

Ruva!

Oh, Nita!

Oh, darling...

This is Ruva, the nurse who raised me

when I was a little girl.

Nita, I'd like to see you in the

library for a moment.

Yes, Uncle.

And now Juanita, will you

explain what you're doing here?

I've come to pay you a visit!

Didn't Macklin give you a message

from me before he was killed?

- Why no!

- I ordered the papers from New York.

This says he was in your house

You're lying, Juanita.

Yes.

I lied.

Don't you realize what it means...

...not only to you, but to your

husband and your child?

- But my husband urged me to come!

- But he doesn't know!

Nonsense! The past is dead!

- The natives have forgotten long ago.

- The natives never forget!

Alright, I'm here. I'll go back again!

Have you forgotten the 3 night

sacrifice during the full moon?

No, I'm not interested!

There will be a full moon again

in 3 weeks.

The boat will sail before.

Promise me you will sail on her!

Alright, Uncle. Don't be so upset!

If it makes you happy,

I'll sail on her!
