We wanna find him. 75 00:09:55,995 --> 00:09:58,995 l can't give you any information other than he asked me to go with him, and l declined. 76 00:10:00,733 --> 00:10:03,733 He was tracking down some queer legend about a diamond mine far into the interior. 77 00:10:05,738 --> 00:10:08,506 Such stories are constantly cropping up in Africa. 78 00:10:08,507 --> 00:10:11,507 No, Curtis' project was too thick for me. l advised against it. 79 00:10:11,978 --> 00:10:14,746 -Why? -Nobody's ever been in that region before... 80 00:10:14,747 --> 00:10:17,747 -...and lived to tell about it. -You mean returned to tell about it. 81 00:10:18,484 --> 00:10:21,286 As far as anyone can say, he may still be alive. 82 00:10:21,287 --> 00:10:24,287 Well, perhaps as a captive, but the chances are very slim. 83 00:10:24,957 --> 00:10:27,957 My sister feels as long as there's a chance, she must pursue it. 84 00:10:30,229 --> 00:10:31,997 She's had a bad time lately. 85 00:10:31,998 --> 00:10:34,998 Can't sleep nights. Wakes up screaming. Dreams about him wandering in the jungle. 86 00:10:37,036 --> 00:10:39,771 Surely you must have made other inquiries. 87 00:10:39,772 --> 00:10:42,772 l was able to establish that he headed north and west toward the Kaluana country. 88 00:10:44,644 --> 00:10:47,012 The Kaluana country. 89 00:10:47,013 --> 00:10:49,014 Well, there you have it. 90 00:10:49,015 --> 00:10:50,815 How would you proceed? 91 00:10:50,816 --> 00:10:52,884 The Kaluana country lies there. 92 00:10:52,885 --> 00:10:55,885 You'd have difficulty getting that far. Then where would you go? 93 00:10:56,389 --> 00:10:59,389 Thousands of miles where no white man has been. Even natives are afraid. 94 00:11:00,359 --> 00:11:03,359 -ln which direction would you begin? -We have a map. 95 00:11:03,796 --> 00:11:06,498 -A map? -Henry's last letter was addressed to me. 96 00:11:06,499 --> 00:11:09,434 He enclosed a copy of the map he intended to follow. 97 00:11:09,435 --> 00:11:12,435 There are no maps. There isn't a village or a river recorded beyond the Kaluana region. 98 00:11:22,181 --> 00:11:25,181 This sort of thing is peddled to greenhorns from Timbuktu to Johannesburg. 99 00:11:26,252 --> 00:11:29,252 You may be right. Henry said he bought the map to King Solomon's Mines... 100 00:11:30,423 --> 00:11:33,423 ...from an Arab trader who claimed it was 400 years old. 101 00:11:33,526 --> 00:11:36,526 Kaluana Village, desert, water, White Twins... 102 00:11:39,699 --> 00:11:42,200 ...King Solomon's Mines. 103 00:11:42,201 --> 00:11:45,201 The Flying Dutchman. Captain Kidd's treasure. 104 00:11:45,504 --> 00:11:48,504 All right. Perhaps there is no diamond mine. But this tells us where to look for Henry... 105 00:11:50,376 --> 00:11:53,376 ...because he followed it. So will we. With your help. 106 00:11:53,446 --> 00:11:56,446 This safari is not child's play, Mr. Good, especially with a-- 107 00:11:56,916 --> 00:11:59,150 Well, shall we say an overwrought woman? 108 00:11:59,151 --> 00:12:02,151 -Elizabeth knows that.

You half-decided to go. 148 00:14:52,391 --> 00:14:55,391 Oh, l've fully decided to go.

So you see l'm living on borrowed time. 155 00:15:19,752 --> 00:15:22,487 My wife died here six years ago. 156 00:15:22,488 --> 00:15:25,488 Sooner or later, an animal or an unfriendly native or a tropical disease will get me. 157 00:15:28,093 --> 00:15:30,161 l have a son in England... 158 00:15:30,162 --> 00:15:33,162 ...but there'll be very little money for him if anything should happen to me. 159 00:15:34,366 --> 00:15:37,366 The money you're offering would provide for him until he can take care of himself. 160 00:15:38,938 --> 00:15:41,639 -l see. -So l'll take on your safari. 161 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,640 But before we leave, l'd like to send the 5000 to London. 162 00:15:45,177 --> 00:15:47,645 You can pay me the bonus when we return. 163 00:15:47,646 --> 00:15:50,646 -You mean if we return. -From now on we'll say ""when."" 164 00:15:50,816 --> 00:15:53,816 What l privately think mustn't color the mood of this fine safari. 165 00:15:56,655 --> 00:15:59,655 lt isn't just the danger of the undertaking that's making you so antagonistic. 166 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,960 There's something else. What is it, Mr. Quatermain? 167 00:16:05,497 --> 00:16:07,699 l don't understand your motives. 168 00:16:07,700 --> 00:16:10,700 -You mean you don't believe them. -Well, frankly, l don't. 169 00:16:10,903 --> 00:16:13,404 Why? 170 00:16:13,405 --> 00:16:16,405 -Well, it's wiser if we don't discuss this. -Why? 171 00:16:16,909 --> 00:16:19,909 Well, because on a safari, it's better to travel with people one likes. 172 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,880 You better tell me now and give me time to recover. What about my motives? 173 00:16:26,285 --> 00:16:28,152 Very well. 174 00:16:28,153 --> 00:16:30,722 Since your husband's body was never found... 175 00:16:30,723 --> 00:16:33,723 ...you can't inherit his money until you prove that he's dead. 176 00:16:34,259 --> 00:16:37,259 That could be the reason for this visit. 177 00:16:43,902 --> 00:16:46,902 One of the reasons my husband went looking for that mine... 178 00:16:47,139 --> 00:16:50,139 ...was the possibly foolish hope of finding a fortune of his own. 179 00:16:50,976 --> 00:16:53,976 You see, l hold all the wealth there is in the family. 180 00:16:56,048 --> 00:16:58,416 Well, then l still don't understand. 181 00:16:58,417 --> 00:17:01,417 What? That l'd be willing to risk my life for my husband? 182 00:17:01,620 --> 00:17:04,620 That you're proposing to throw it away. lt's not normal. lt smells of sickness. 183 00:17:06,025 --> 00:17:09,025 l happen to love my husband.
