00:00I admire your unorthodox approach to science, Dr. Pateka.
00:07What is so unorthodox about it?
00:10I keep experimenting until I find an answer.
00:13If the plant I'm looking for proves useful...
00:15You'll be rich and famous.
00:18The world will have something to reverse radiation poisoning.
00:22Isn't that what our research has been all about?
00:24Ah, yes. Always the altruist.
00:27Thank God for the likes of you.
00:29Well, don't thank God just yet.
00:31First, I have to get to Malataka and find the Sunapal.
00:33Well, even if you don't, at least you'll have had the chance to go home.
00:36Yes, and I'm very much looking forward to that.
00:39Here's your car.
00:46I'll call you as soon as I hear any news.
00:50Truly, be very careful.
00:53The entire research team is counting on you, huh?
00:56Okay.
01:00There's only 25,000 in here.
01:27I told you in order to take out the girl and get the plant, I'd need a partner.
01:31So you owe me 50.
01:34I hated the thought of you carrying so much cash.
01:39It might have a tendency to make you forget things.
01:41Like your assignment.
01:43It makes you think I won't forget now.
01:52There's a little reminder for you.
01:56See you in Africa.
01:57Sheena!
02:15Sheena!
02:17Sheena!
02:17Help!
02:32Can anyone hear me?
02:34Oh.
02:35Oh.
02:35are you in any pain besides my ego no sheena i was just coming to find you when i tripped
02:57but i guess there's some things you never outgrow tuli and her two left feet
03:05so
03:15so
03:19so
03:25so
04:35You'd guess about me, if you're watching me from across the room.
04:39Well, I'm at a distinct advantage because we've spoken, which means I already know that you're bright and witty.
04:49Well, let's see.
04:51If I was looking at you across the room having a drink alone, I would guess that you're on a layover.
04:57Wow.
04:58That is good.
04:59Ah, a little skill I developed a few years back.
05:02All right.
05:03So, are you flying out today or are you here for the night?
05:08I'm here for the night.
05:09But I have to be at the airport by 5 a.m.
05:125?
05:13No one should have to be anywhere at 5 a.m.
05:17That's the time the bed feels the best, don't you think?
05:21Yes, I do.
05:23So maybe you could cheat a little.
05:25Yeah.
05:26Yeah.
05:27How long does it take to stock up the soda tray and straighten out the seatbelts?
05:32Why would I be doing that?
05:34Well, I thought that's what stewardesses do.
05:37It is what flight attendants do.
05:39Hmm?
05:40But I'm a pilot.
05:46Mayday, mayday, gunner's going down, crash and burn.
06:02Are you okay?
06:12Oh, just some cuts and scrapes and pretty much the usual stuff.
06:16I can't believe I found you.
06:17But I guess technically you found me.
06:19And just like when we were kids, I was flat on my butt.
06:22Actually, you were on your stomach.
06:25God, I've missed you.
06:26I didn't think I'd ever see you again.
06:28And so when Callie told me that you still lived...
06:30Callie?
06:31Yes, Callie told you.
06:32Yes.
06:33And I must say, the jungle has served you well.
06:37Where can I get a body like that?
06:41Oh, come here.
06:44So anyway, I remembered how Callie used the sunabo on a village child who had a chemical burn.
06:50So I hopped on a plane, then a bus, something they'd try to call the taxi,
06:55then an ox cart, and I got myself back home.
06:58Home?
06:58You still call this place home?
07:01Sheena, don't let the medical degree fool you.
07:03At heart, I'm still your clumsy friend from the village.
07:07But you didn't stay in the village.
07:09Neither did you.
07:16Jeep.
07:17Small box-like structure on four wheels, four-runner to the Humvee.
07:21Your sign out front says you rent Jeeps.
07:25I do.
07:26I also give quality guide service.
07:28And you only want a Jeep.
07:29Right.
07:31Okay, one Jeep coming right up.
07:32Mendelsohn, pull up the deluxe model for these gentlemen, would you?
07:35That would be the one with all four wheels.
07:38Yeah, that'd be the one.
07:40All right.
07:41Here's the rental agreement.
07:42Take a look at the terms if you agree with them.
07:44I'm going to get your pen and sign the one at the bottom.
07:48All I need is a credit card.
07:52Oh.
07:54John Smith.
07:55Unique name.
08:02Remember, if you plan on doing any touring,
08:03you might want to think about hiring a professional guide like myself.
08:10Or not.
08:14Interesting.
08:16Yeah, I'm surprised the engine kicked over, too.
08:19Yeah, a couple of guys, both medium height, weight, build,
08:22names like John Smith.
08:24I think we're looking at a couple of professionals here.
08:27Assassins.
08:28I had a pegged them for stewardesses.
08:30Oh, instantly forgettable, impossible to identify.
08:32There's nothing distinctive about either of them.
08:35Except for the purple birthmark on the left palm of the guy who didn't talk,
08:40and a chicken pox scar on the forehead of the guy who did.
08:46He didn't see that stuff.
08:51No wonder you left the village.
08:53This is a lot roomier than the dung huts.
08:56Is this the same cave we used to play in?
08:59No.
09:00That collapsed years ago.
09:04And I see your book collection has gotten pretty large.
09:07No wonder you need the extra space.
09:11Animal farm?
09:12You do know that this isn't really about animals, don't you?
09:15I know what it's about.
09:19Ooh, I recognize that smell.
09:21That's Dulema oil.
09:23You and Callie were always having to rub that stuff on me.
09:25Sheena, you were my best friend growing up.
09:33And when Shibetha died...
09:34Shibetha didn't die.
09:37She was killed by mercenaries.
09:39I know, Sheena.
09:40I was there.
09:41I loved that lion, too.
09:44And I remember your sorrow and how much I tried to console you.
09:47But I'm sorry you still haven't gotten over that.
09:50Of course I have.
09:52But that doesn't mean I've forgotten how it happened.
09:55How could you when you've chosen to lock everyone out except for Callie?
10:00Sheena, I did not abandon you.
10:03You're the one that became a recluse instead of...
10:05Instead of what?
10:07Becoming friends with the very people that brought about some of my greatest sorrow?
10:11Sheena, not everyone outside of this jungle is the enemy.
10:16I'm certainly not.
10:17Really?
10:19If the Cenobo plan ends up working, you're gonna make a lot of money, won't you?
10:23Maybe, but that's not why I'm doing this.
10:26And every fortune seeker will be coming here to get rich.
10:29And we won't have any more plants left.
10:31No.
10:31I would never let that happen.
10:34I'm only going to synthesize it in the lab.
10:37I would never do anything that might destroy a place that I love as much as you do.
10:41Then leave it alone.
10:44Well.
10:46I'm sorry your opinion of me has changed so much.
10:48But I did not come here to hurt anything or anyone.
10:54Only to help.
10:56You know?
10:58I stayed here because I wanted to help.
11:02No.
11:04You stayed here to get even.
11:06Had I known you did not wish to see her, I wouldn't have told Thule where to find you.
11:18It's not like I didn't want to see her.
11:21You did not want to see her as she is today.
11:24A modern, civilized woman.
11:27We have nothing in common anymore, Kali.
11:30Of course you do.
11:32You are both intelligent, intuitive people with a great passion for what you believe in.
11:38And as I recall, that has always been to make this world a better place to live.
11:46So then why'd she leave Maltaca?
11:48Because last I heard, there are other places in the world that need help, too.
11:54Well, I don't live other places.
11:57I live here.
11:59Yes.
12:00In your own little world.
12:03Be careful that you do not allow that world to get so small that it makes you judgmental.
12:10Are you suggesting that I leave the Lamistas?
12:19Kali, are you just going to stand there silent?
12:27I wanted you to hear the sound of a closed mind.
12:40I wanted you to hear the sound of a closed mind.
13:15Well, those two guys that rented the Jeep and ran their credit card.
13:19Seems a bank that's located in Switzerland.
13:22Swiss banks, Swiss bank accounts.
13:23These guys always have Swiss bank accounts.
13:25So do the Swiss.
13:27Now, did they say where they were heading?
13:28They didn't.
13:30But they headed out the northwest road toward the Lamistas.
13:33The Lamistas.
13:36Put that back, will you?
13:40Nothing.
13:40Let's go.
13:41Let's go.
13:43Here we go.
13:45Let's go.
13:53Let's go.
15:27Jones, is that you? Over.
15:57Oh!
15:59Oh!
16:01Oh!
16:05Oh!
16:07Oh!
16:09Oh!
16:11Oh!
16:13Oh!
16:15Oh!
16:17Oh!
16:19Oh!
16:21Don't move.
16:23You know her?
16:25She used to be my best friend.
16:27Careful.
16:29Take her to Kali.
16:31It's okay.
16:33Got her.
16:35Got her.
16:37Yeah.
16:39Come on.
16:41Let's go.
16:43Oh!
16:45Oh!
16:47Oh!
16:49Her injuries are internal.
16:51I'm severe, I'm afraid.
16:53This wouldn't have happened if I'd gone with her.
16:55There's no time for that kind of thinking.
16:57She will need more advanced help than I can give her here.
17:01We need to get her to a hospital.
17:03A radio for an ambulance.
17:05Kali, we can't let her die.
17:07It is out of our hands, child.
17:09The Great Protector is our guide now.
17:24I will accompany her to the hospital.
17:37I know how you feel.
17:43At least I got the man responsible.
17:45Now I just need to find out why.
17:49I got some bad news for you on that front.
17:51You only got one of them.
17:53He's got a partner.
18:07At least can't let me pull outwietè·¯.
18:11I can't.
18:12Oh.
18:13She will see her on after us eve.
18:15With.
18:16Video on as eve.
18:18interviews.
18:50Mr. Smith, a bit jumpy today.
19:04Run into some old ghosts from your past?
19:07No, just you.
19:09You're enough to make any man jumpy.
19:12So where is it?
19:15Where is my little plant?
19:19I don't have it.
19:20You said Votika was taken care of.
19:26If you took care of her before, you got what I sent you down here for.
19:30The whole thing went down really weird, okay?
19:33We followed her into the jungle.
19:35We set traps for her.
19:37Jones went off first.
19:38He went to get her first.
19:39By the time I got to him, the...
19:42Here.
19:43I found this.
19:49A map?
19:52Well...
19:52That's something.
19:54That's why I'm sitting here getting drunk on the local brew.
20:09And after you hear about it, you just might want to join me.
20:13Well, this trap doesn't resemble anything made or set by the tribes around here.
20:27No, it's definitely company issue.
20:29Company issue?
20:30Yeah, the CIA likes thereof.
20:33Well, they don't know how to make a good trap.
20:35Not if someone like Tooley can squirm her way out.
20:39Yeah.
20:40You should let Rashid handle this.
20:42No, there's no time.
20:44The other man could get away before half the paperwork has been filed.
20:48Besides, you know what the guy looks like.
20:50And that makes you useful.
20:53I am not going to go searching for this John Smith guy.
20:56All right?
20:57When he comes in to return the rental car, then I'll report him.
20:59Well, somehow I don't think people like this live up to their rental agreements.
21:03Hmm.
21:05So, why were you out here this morning?
21:07Okay.
21:08I was coming to warn you about these guys.
21:09They seem like bad news.
21:18Okay.
21:19Their credit card was denied.
21:21I'm going to where the Cenobo grows.
21:23That's where everyone's headed.
21:25I'll set my own traps to keep them away from the plant.
21:29I'll bring one back for Tooley's research.
21:31I thought you didn't want her stirring up interest in the area.
21:34You feeling a little guilty?
21:36Maybe.
21:37But that's not why I got the plant.
21:40If Tooley can help these people without disturbing the area,
21:43I believe her.
21:49She'll be fine.
22:04There wasn't as much internal bleeding as we thought.
22:07Whatever you did before she got to us, Kali, was very effective.
22:12I believe that would be called prayer.
22:13I see.
22:16I understand that Miss Patika is from your village.
22:19Yes.
22:19She lived there until she was 15.
22:21Then she went off to school in Nairobi.
22:24Now she is a doctor, too.
22:26Oh.
22:26I am going back to the village for a while.
22:29When Tooley wakes up, tell her I'll return soon.
22:33Be a try, doctor.
22:34Oh, thank you.
22:37Telephone for Dr. Motombo.
22:44Excuse me.
22:46Can you help me?
23:09Mr. Smith, it's Matt Cutter.
23:21Sorry to bother you, but there's been a problem with the Jeep I rented you.
23:30Mr. Smith?
23:39Oh, jeez.
23:58Ah!
24:00Wait, it's not what you think.
24:02It's okay.
24:09It's okay.
24:39It'll take forever to get through here.
25:09It's okay.
25:39This is it
25:55This is where the plant grows
25:58Now it's just a matter of finding it
26:09Its most distinctive quality is its scent
26:12It smells like the sea
26:14And the leaves are corrugated like the lining of a cardboard box
26:39I believe that tire belongs to me
26:52You show me where this place is
26:55And maybe I won't snap your neck
26:58Why do we go there? To find a plant
27:11That will make me enormously wealthy
27:23I think Sheena's only trying to be diplomatic
27:26Diplomacy isn't one of Sheena's strong suits
27:30She doesn't think this happened to you arbitrarily
27:32She believes your life is in danger
27:35And so do I
27:37She is still very protective
27:39That part hasn't changed
27:43Does she ever allow herself to be happy, Kelly?
27:46I think she is afraid of happiness
27:49That it might soften her age
27:52And steal away all that useless anger
27:56You have to help her lose that
27:58Believe me, child
28:00That is my daily prayer
28:02For the good of the Lamistas
28:04And the Kaya
28:06But mostly for the good of Sheena
28:09Sheena
28:18Tuli
28:19Tuli
28:20Tuli, what's wrong?
28:21Doctor!
28:22Doctor!
28:27That's the way, please
28:39The victim was shot with the clip
28:42The victim was shot with the clip
28:43Lowered with 9mm
28:44Kata's gun is a .45
28:46Release him
28:47Sure
28:48Thanks for cleaning this up so quickly, Rashid
28:53Why did you go visit this man in the first place?
28:55Well, he, uh, read a jeep from me
28:58And?
29:01I really don't know anything about this guy
29:03Except I think he came here to kill someone
29:05But he's the one who was dead
29:07Well, you know what they say about the best laid plans
29:09Rashid, I swear, as soon as I find out something more
29:15You'll be the first to know
29:16You'll be the first to know
29:17I better be
29:20Thank you
29:46Sheena, where have you been?
30:11I went to get some Sanaba
30:13to get some sonaba was it easy getting into that meta though what's wrong it's
30:18not good she started having seizures the doctors found something in her blood it
30:27could be the result of her research work sesium I think they called it what is
30:31it a radioactive material it's possible she has been over exposed and the
30:37surgery triggered a reaction
30:43let's hope to lose notion about this a novel is true it may be her only hope at
30:55this point well I wrapped it the way you taught me to wrap plants taken from the
30:58dirt did I do something wrong no your procedure was correct the curative
31:05ingredients are found in the woods I was afraid this might happen
31:12I have only worked with the sonaba in its natural environment like many plants in
31:18the lamistas is useless when taken from its own soil well then there's only one thing left to do
31:24are you out of your minds you want to kidnap a seriously ill woman from the hospital and take
31:33her into the jungle her condition can't get any worse but this plant might make it better we don't really
31:39have a choice did you not hear what I just told you whoever it is that wants to kill
31:44Tuli just kill the guy he hired to kill Tuli so if we take her anywhere it's got to be out of here not not into the jungle
31:49look if you don't want to help fine but we need to borrow your truck oh and who might I ask is going to drive well if you can drive I can't be that tough
32:02well let's not find out I'll drive
32:09I think it gets a lot rougher from this point on let me see the map can you read it yes that way
32:32when we find these plants how many do you want I plan on taking every single one of them out of here let's go
32:43excuse me doc yes I need to talk to you about a medical condition
32:59this is the surgical ward you'll need to speak with the nurse about scheduling an appointment when our outpatient clinic is open
33:06whoa whoa whoa whoa I've got a mobile mole
33:12a what it moves around the body I think that it's a new strain of mole that's just looking for someone to discover it
33:29so my plan has worked after all your plan I did all of this so that Sheena would talk to me again are you sure you want to do this Tuli the journey will not be easy I'm sure I'd rather die in the lamistas than in a hospital bed victim of my own research
33:58I'll signal cutter Mendelssohn is buying us some time but not much
34:05but not much
34:12what is that child
34:20what is that child
34:27someone put cesium in her IV bag
34:32I knew it couldn't have been from my work I'm too careful
34:35make sure you hang onto that bag for Rashid
34:37we'll need it as evidence
34:39can't you drive a little faster
34:42you're actually riding inside
34:44are you usually on the hood
34:46close
34:48no no she rides in the truck bed she finds these horseless carriages to be claustrophobic
34:54I understand
34:56thank you Sheena
34:57no turn turn there cutter
35:02I thought that was a dead end
35:04it only looks that way it actually takes you right to the meadow
35:07I discovered it earlier today
35:10it's like the whole meadow has been kept a secret
35:13keep the likes of me out of it
35:16cut her stop here
35:31Cutter, stop here.
35:44This is a meadow?
35:45It's up about 15 yards.
35:48I thought I set up a trap here.
35:49A trap?
35:50Yeah. Get too late.
36:01Caution, do not back a vehicle.
36:31Is that another tire barricade?
36:41Sort of.
36:43Just wanted to make sure that no one got here before we did.
36:49How many traps did you set?
36:51Probably not enough, but I had to do something.
37:01The juice is clear.
37:28The other plant was much more milky.
37:31That's because the other plant had already started to disintegrate.
37:37How will you know if it works?
37:38I still keep breathing.
37:42Now I know why you guys are friends.
37:46What?
37:47What's up?
37:50Take over for me.
37:53I'll be right back.
37:54If this plant does prove to be useful,
37:57I'm afraid it will take millions to produce enough of what you will need.
38:00If it works,
38:02I'll be the only one that knows.
38:05I won't spoil this place for the sake of a cure.
38:08Even if it means helping someone?
38:10Nature did not create radiation poisoning.
38:13Man did.
38:14I think what Thule is trying to say is that sometimes nature will not take part in man's mistakes.
38:22Got it.
38:23Man broke it.
38:24Let man find a way to fix it on his own.
38:26My, my, my, my.
38:27What an inspiring speech I'm interrupting.
38:30No, no.
38:31Gun in the bushes.
38:31Oh, my God.
38:39Dr. Armand?
38:40Oh, my God.
38:40Dr. Armand?
38:43That plant is useless anywhere but here.
38:56Give up the fight, mister.
38:58That's doctor.
39:02See, there's another well-kept secret about the Cenobo plant.
39:05Falls into the wrong hands, really strange things start to happen.
39:08Oh, my God.
39:38Oh, my God.
39:40Oh, my God.
40:00Oh, my God.
40:04Oh, my God.
40:06Ah!
40:07Man, this is not your typical vegetable garden.
40:37Sheena? May I come in?
40:43Hey. They let you out of the hospital?
40:48They said it was okay for me to go back to Paris, but I wanted to come see you before I left.
40:53Although, I'm not sure how to thank someone who saved my life three times in two days.
40:59By coming back to visit me again?
41:01I would love to, Sheena, but I'm afraid seeing me only fuels your anger.
41:05No. No, that's not true. Although, I can understand why you might have felt that way.
41:12Well, I'll definitely come back if you promise me one thing.
41:15What?
41:16That all we do is act like the silly little girls we used to be and do nothing but giggle.
41:22I think I can remember how to do that.
41:25And we already know that I can still remember how to trip.
41:30Yes. Oh, I miss you.
41:34Listen, don't lose the laughter. We can cope with anything as long as we have that.
41:41Yeah.
41:46Oh, and say goodbye to Cutter for me.
41:49I'd take him back to Paris with me, although I think he's more your type.
41:53Bye.
41:55Bye.
41:56Bye.
41:57Bye..
41:58Bye.
42:00Bye.
