Just think.
The trip together, the new country,
the jungle, it'll be so exciting.
Oh, Paul. You're my life.
You've just pulled me out
of the bottom of the pit.
Honey, if you ever let me go again,
it'll be the end of everything for me.
Darling, don't think of such things.
Just think of our being together
and how much I love you.
Yes, I know of the Nando people.
They're a savage, proud race.
They refuse to accept anything
from our so-called civilization.
They have an undying hatred
for Europeans.
The government
has issued orders
and leave them strictly alone.
So I was told
at the consulate.
Then why come to me?
I've heard
you're a gambler.
What a great gamble.
If I don't get killed by the Nandos,
I lose my license as a guide,
so what's to win?
$5,000 now and $20,000 more
if I find what I'm after.
Doctor, that's a lot of money,
but I'm afraid I cannot do anything for you.
No one can.
How do you know
what I'm looking for?
It's obvious.
You haven't said a word
about guns or wildlife
and you're not the first scientist
to ask me about the Nandos.
That can only mean
one thing, Doctor,
the legend that they have
a secret process to retard age.
Dr. Talbot, as much as I would enjoy
earning your money,
I cannot help you find something
which doesn't exist.
I'm not asking for your advice or opinion.
I'm merely seeking your services as a guide.
Your insistence does not impress me,
but your money is most persuasive.
Doctor, you've got yourself
a guide.
Now, come to think of it,
about three days ago
an old Nando woman
came through here
carry her back to her tribe.
Did you see her?
No. She was in a litter behind curtains.
Never showed herself.
But I heard she was old.
Very old.
Must be Malla.
Do you know her?
Yes, yes.
I'm sure we could get
a friendly introduction to her people.
Well, that means starting
at once and traveling fast.
Take a look. See them?
Now, that's the Kalambo.
We'll cross over and make for the falls.
Now, we should be right about...
Right about there?
That's right. Another half-day's journey
will bring us to the falls, right here.
We'll cache most of our supplies there
and leave Ladu with a guard.
The rest of the carriers we'll send back.
We three go on.
Well, have a good night's rest.
Good night.
Ladu.
Another long day tomorrow.
You'd better get some sleep.
Are you angry with me?
Should I be?
You haven't been civil to me
since we started this trek.
June, don't start
imagining things.
I don't have to.
This time I know
it's not my fault.
I've done everything I could to please you,
