Yes ... Perhaps.

We leave tonight.

Thank you, Malik? I'll try not to mess ...

- Just stay alive!

Very nice of you, Malik!

Very nice.

Stay here. I'm going to get the supplies.

Do you see this?

Get down. Get down ...

Get down!

Down!

Hold the reins, pull them down and say ...

And stay like that! Stay!

Up! Up!

Get up!

You have to say ...

Come on, children!

Welcome! We'll be happy to

share refreshments with you.

We have our own refreshments.

Make camp!

May your tribe prosper a 1000 years!

That young woman!

- Young woman ...

I have no reason to hate you,

That's why I can't give you the young woman.

I want her!

You'll blame me if I agree to your request

and you'll think ill of me!

I want you to think well of me.

Sulleiman, give him the woman!

Shut up! Give me the gun.

Let him!

Every time you fire this rifle

you'll bless the name of Sulleiman.

And I want her.

In that case give me back the rifle.

- You gave it to me.

- Be reasonable!

I can not afford to give every

touring chief a present.

The desert is vast, but it's paths are few.

You fear me. That is why

you give me presents.

Why don't you take the Senufo girl?

She is a virgin.

She'll respond to your passion.

I want her!

- Sulleiman!

Why do you interrupt?

- Sulleiman, You've always

been like a father,

Give the woman away! She is evil!

She had the evil eye!

Since she arrived,

we have nothing but trouble!

The family is no longer the same!

We argued, and we disobeyed ...

She is evil! Give the woman away!

It is no longer as it used to be!

I have become forgetful,

Jamil, my spiritual son,

and deficient in wisdom ...

Unchain the woman!

Let her go to the chief with our curses!

- With your curses?

It's not yet too late. I told you that

I have no reason to hate you.

Why would I have done such an injustice?

Give me the other woman and the rifle!

- So be it! So be it!

Wisesr tongue of yours have spoken!

Unchain the Senufo girl.

May your tribe prosper for ... 2000 years.

Don the camels, children!

Are you tired?

- No.

Peace be unto you!

I want to speak with your chief.

There are two strangers, chief.

Good day.

- Good day.

The white man's face shows that

you've been travelling a great distance.

We are looking Sulleiman, the slave

trader. He has taken the wife of my friend.

I have seen no slavers

with a white woman.

This woman is your wife?

- Yes.

- Strange.

Senufo?

Anansa lady! She was with us!

She recognizes my wife

and I know this girl.

I innoculated her in the village.

Must we all die for a Senufo girl?

It's nothing! May go!

I did not know she was your wife.

Instead Sulleiman gave me that stupid girl

and a rifle, of whose peformance
