with Roberts in the Sudan.

- By the end of the week.

- Or... we pull out.

- Tomorrow.

- Hold on, Roger.

The boat will be ready tomorrow.

Rog, I'll call you back.

Harry, much appreciated.

Thank you.

Was that satellite phone

even on?

Haven't even

charged it yet.

Nice.

This croc is big, really big,

maybe up to nine meters.

- 25, even 30 feet.

- Nine meters? One fat bastard.

They'll grow indefinitely

depending on food intake.

And they can live over 100 years.

- Like dinosaurs.

- Older.

They haven't changed much since

the Triassic. Why should they?

They're the most efficient

killing machines on the planet.

- Apart from Homo sapiens.

- What are these marks?

Scar tissue.

He's been shot many times.

Gustave.

Motherf***er's bulletproof?

- Gustave. He take my cousin.

- Are you sure it was him?

Everybody knows this Gustave.

He killed hundreds.

Hundreds? Yeah, right, man.

- It'd make the news.

- Why would it?

Thousands have died here.

- That hasn't made the news.

- What...?

This crocodile's like O.J. Simpson.

He messed up

when he killed that white woman.

Which, let's face it, is the

only reason you people are here.

For you, this monster

is entertainment.

- But here we know better.

- Do we really need that?

You can never be

too careful, ma'am.

You'll travel through territory

controlled by Little Gustave.

- Little Gustave?

- He rules the Upper Rusizi.

Got his name from the crocodile.

It's hard to say

whose blood is colder.

But don't worry, these guys will

be accompanying you all the way.

Good luck.

Hey, man. I didn't catch your name.

I'm Tim.

Nice chatting with you.

Are you working on my lead-ins?

No. Working on the real story,

the HMO scandal.

You wouldn't believe the sh*t...

Right, right.

This isn't a real story.

Well... let's face it,

catching a killer croc,

it ain't the makings

of a Pulitzer Prize.

Like the Porter story you just blew?

Question your assumptions, Tim.

Isn't that the first thing

they teach you?

Where did you learn that,

modeling school?

No, Columbia School

of Journalism.

You are such an a**hole,

aren't you?

Well...

- What the hell's going on?

- Some guys were shooting at us.

Who are those guys?

I thought there was a ceasefire.

This is a war zone.

People shoot at each other.

Jacob Krieg! Mr. Krieg!

Jacob, I'm Aviva Masters.

Roger sends his regards...

I received word this morning

there has been another attack.

A little girl was killed

in a village 30km north.

- Say we get moving.

- The rapids are too rough.

We'll have to drive.

Problem is, the village is close

to Little Gustave's territory.

- The warlord?

- Uh-huh.

We'll go see him, explain

we're a scientific expedition
