00:10As you travel on your landline, you will notice that you will come to the city of Hawaii.
00:37You know, this makes absolutely no sense.
00:40It's your call.
00:44Okay.
00:46Jin.
00:47Or fish.
00:48Or whatever it is you say in this goofy game.
00:52Go piwa.
00:53You don't have it.
00:54You're not even close.
00:56You put down two bungee knots.
00:58One splay, one tego, and two kaboulas, which are worthless.
01:03Oh, please.
01:04Not for one second do I believe you can tell the difference between this piece of shredded leather and that
01:09piece of shredded leather.
01:11As I explained before, Cutter, the trick is to read the knots.
01:16See, you would be halfway to Kapiwa if you had two more bungees.
01:19But he doesn't.
01:20A live news conference with the president.
01:22So you lose.
01:25Again.
01:26Not very gracefully, I might add.
01:28Well, it's hard to be graceful when you've lost ten games in a row.
01:31Now, would you please deal?
01:32He's a man whose contributions throughout the entire continent of Africa are without precedent, which is why we are so
01:40honored to have him here in Malta.
01:43Okay, since when have you ever cared what N'Gama has to say?
01:45Shh, and he has returned with a vision.
01:49His life's work has helped so many that I have appointed one of my own ministers to oversee his new
01:58education project.
01:59Please, help me welcome back to our beautiful country, Meiko Zaboli.
02:12There are no greater barriers to freedom, no higher obstacle, no self-fulfillment, no top obstacle.
02:20Okay, what's going on?
02:21Do you know this guy?
02:22Shh.
02:22Then the tragedy of an ignorant mind.
02:25Oh, I know who this guy is.
02:28He's a big kahuna behind knowledge has no borders.
02:33Now I see why so many people fawn all over.
02:36Well, he's got an incredible speaking style.
02:38Charismatic, movie star looks.
02:41Apparently he means something to Sheena.
02:43So, is he a friend or a potential prey?
02:47Actually, Meiko was Sheena's first love.
02:59That's one tough act to follow.
03:11He's got an Yours Boy Now.
03:28You're
03:29You're
03:29You're
03:57Oh, oh, oh.
04:01Oh, oh, oh.
04:32Oh, oh.
04:33She simply chooses not to discuss her intimate moments with other people.
04:38Oh, come on, Kali. We're just talking about puppy love here.
04:41No, we are not.
04:43I'd bail out of this conversation now if I were you.
04:46Wait. Hold on.
04:49Were you saying this was a serious thing?
04:52It might have been.
04:54If Mako hadn't been required to return to his tribe once the conflict died down.
05:00Still, any time a young girl passes into womanhood, there's a certain degree of seriousness, even if it doesn't last
05:07a lifetime.
05:07So you're saying this guy...
05:11How old, Rene?
05:13Sheena was 15.
05:15Mako was 16.
05:16We live in a different world down here.
05:19Giving birth, death.
05:21I myself was married at 14.
05:24You know, Kali, I'm not passing judgment on anyone.
05:28It just...
05:29Well, I didn't think...
05:32That Sheena, has he passed?
05:35Well, not that kind of passed.
05:52I'm sick of this self-anointed saint.
05:57He has been an anoyant since we were children.
06:01True, Banti, but you must admit that his project has padded our bank accounts these past two years.
06:07But now Mako is here, along with his accountants.
06:10And a school you said would never exist is one week away from opening its doors.
06:15You worry too much, Banti.
06:18The opening will never happen.
06:21President N'Gama doesn't want him here any more than we do.
06:25We cannot deny the positive publicity it brings me.
06:28Do you know how much my popularity rating has increased since Mako came back?
06:33Yes, Your Excellency.
06:35The highest since your government began.
06:37It's wonderful.
06:38And I didn't have to do anything.
06:42Let us see how the President feels after our educated populace finds out what the tyrant he is and overthrows
06:48him.
06:49It will never go that far.
06:52I hear Banti is particularly vexed by this situation.
06:56Of course he is.
06:57He and Mako have a history of rivalry.
07:00And Banti knows he cannot enslave educated workers.
07:04Neither can we, Your Excellency.
07:06Oh, I have no use for free thinkers either.
07:09But I also have no use for overly ambitious plantation owners like Banti.
07:16What are you suggesting?
07:18My people are in love with an idea.
07:21But it doesn't actually have to be delivered.
07:23As long as they think there will be a school.
07:27That is all that matters.
07:29So we perpetuate the idea and look like heroes.
07:33And let Banti's vengeance destroy it for us.
07:38I've been through famine, drought, civil war, and still I've never lost my fortune.
07:46I'll be damned if I lose it now because of him.
07:52In one stroke, I rid myself of two annoyances.
07:57That is a skill no school can teach.
08:01I'll be damned if I lose it now because of him.
08:27I'll be damned if I lose it now.
08:30I'll be damned if I lose it now.
08:31This is not Safari Park in San Diego.
08:33The animals out here are wild and hungry.
08:37There's not a creature alive who could keep up with this group.
08:40How do you say slow down in German?
08:42Claudius Schiffer?
08:44Yeah.
08:50Well, something brought him to stop.
08:52Probably a panzer division.
08:55Okay, let's see what we got here.
09:03Zebras munching grass.
09:04Well, that's something you don't see every day.
09:06Let's see if we can't find something a little more exciting.
09:20Where are you going?
09:22Ah, emergency.
09:24You go on ahead.
09:25I'll catch up to you later.
09:27You'll catch up?
09:29I can't catch up and I'm already here.
09:33I was hoping to see you again.
09:34But I did not think you would find me first.
09:37Well, when I saw your news report on your education center,
09:40I realized you were back in Meltaka.
09:42I knew it wouldn't be long before you came to the spot.
09:45Thank God it has not changed in all these years since I last saw it.
09:49Nor have you.
09:51Well, maybe a little.
10:20When the old farm was remodeled into classrooms,
10:22I became hopeful.
10:24Then the books and desks were delivered.
10:26And I started to become excited.
10:28And then when I heard that the first two teachers were actually arriving tonight,
10:32that's when I realized that my dream was finally coming true.
10:38Oh, you're doing such a wonderful thing here, Mako.
10:41You're truly touching so many lives.
10:45It, uh, it can be very rewarding.
10:48Even if I have to deal with people like President Ngama.
10:50I thought Ngama supported you.
10:52Oh, he does.
10:53But in front of the camera.
10:55I have a meeting with him today at 3 o'clock.
10:57And there will be no camera.
11:04Perhaps if I brought along my beautiful friend,
11:08the president might be won over.
11:10I knew I would certainly be inclined to join any calls you supported.
11:14Yeah, like the, uh, Save the Guava Bird campaign.
11:19You know, I had forgotten all about that.
11:21You had everyone in the village looking for those poor, endangered creatures.
11:25They didn't even exist.
11:27You know, I think that was the first time I had ever seen Kali fooled.
11:31Yeah, it was the first and the last.
11:36What's he doing?
11:50Someone is in trouble?
11:52Yeah.
11:52He doesn't realize how much.
11:55What?
12:03What do you think you're doing?
12:05Who, me?
12:07Nothing.
12:08I just thought I'd throw myself down a hill
12:10and see how long it took before anyone noticed.
12:14You'll be okay.
12:16Physically or mentally?
12:18Could I get a hand here?
12:25You know, it's a good thing I came by.
12:29I saw someone following you, spying on you.
12:33You mean someone other than yourself?
12:36Well, that'd make two people who managed to sneak up on you before you noticed.
12:40You must have been really distracted.
12:43Where?
12:46By that big tree.
12:49All right.
12:50I'll go check it out.
12:53You two, uh...
12:54You two obviously know each other.
12:57Oh, me and Sheena?
12:58Hell yeah.
12:59We go back for years.
13:01She always relies on me when she's got a problem in the Lamistas.
13:04That's the jungle, right?
13:05Oh, yes, yes, yes, I know.
13:06I grew up in them myself.
13:08In Sheena's village, to be exact.
13:11I am Miko Zabule.
13:13Matt Cutter.
13:13You two, uh...
13:40You two...
13:49Where's Mako?
13:51I said he had a meeting with Ngama.
13:53I wanted to wait till he got back, but I didn't realize how late it had gotten.
13:58All those meetings at three.
14:00It's barely one.
14:02Well, what do you know?
14:03I guess I'm running a little fast.
14:08You find anyone?
14:10Well, whoever it was is gone.
14:12I think they're out to get Mako.
14:15It's not a good idea that he's out here by himself.
14:18Well, that's funny, because I think it's a great idea that he's out here by himself.
14:57No!
14:59No!
15:21You killed him?
15:25I'm sorry.
15:27I'm just not the little girl.
15:28You saved my life.
15:30And for that, you have nothing to apologize for.
15:47I've seen him in town.
15:50But I always thought he was just a vagrant.
15:53Yeah, a vagrant with a high-powered rifle.
15:55Oh, Mako, you shouldn't go to this meeting with Ngama.
15:57You should go back to the village or come back to my cave where it's safe.
16:01Or my place.
16:03You could stay at my place.
16:04I cannot hide from every hint of danger.
16:08I never see the sun.
16:10You've been threatened before?
16:11I have dedicated my life to the education of the masses.
16:16And as you might suspect, it is not always a popular notion with everyone.
16:21Yes, I understand what you mean.
16:23The best defense is to continue living your life.
16:27And if that doesn't work, it helps if you have a solid left hook.
16:33Then, sir, I would greatly appreciate a ride back into town, if you don't mind.
16:37You know, you should probably get a move on if you still plan on making that meeting.
16:41It is time.
16:42Remember, your watch is fast.
16:53Well, Mako's still alive.
17:01What an idiot!
17:03Doesn't Banti realize killing Mako will only martyr him?
17:06Obviously, he is desperate.
17:07And that leads to stupid mistakes.
17:11I can see we will have to offer some guidance.
17:16What kind do you suggest?
17:18I hear that two of Mako's teachers are scheduled to arrive at the education center this evening.
17:24A lot is depending upon them working there.
17:26So?
17:27So, there may be an opportunity here.
17:48So, you made it back?
17:50In mind only.
17:52All my muscles have deserted me.
17:55And I've left the bottoms of my feet somewhere out there in the jungle.
18:00Where are the hikers?
18:04I think they went dancing.
18:06Ah.
18:09What are these crates doing here?
18:11They're dressed in Kali.
18:13The delivery guy had lost trying to find her village.
18:17So I told them we deliver them.
18:19In other words, you hitched a ride from him.
18:22And the only reason my left foot didn't fall off.
18:39I think it's such a good idea that we throw such a big party.
18:42I mean, everyone will know that Mako's here.
18:45It'd be the perfect setup.
18:46I doubt it.
18:47They would have to get past you first.
18:49That might be easy.
18:51Especially if I allow myself to be as easily distracted as I was this morning.
18:55Which Cutter was very quick to point out.
18:57That is because Cutter resents the source of your distraction.
19:02Mako?
19:03Why would Cutter care?
19:05Do you remember how you felt when you met Cutter's ex-wife?
19:08Yeah, but that's different.
19:10They were married.
19:11And I think they still loved each other.
19:14My feelings were silly anyway.
19:17I'm over them.
19:20What is this?
19:22Ah, beats me.
19:23It's the delivery man.
19:24Isn't it?
19:26All right.
19:29Looks like you guys are getting ready for some kind of shindig.
19:31Yes.
19:32Welcome home party for Mako.
19:35Oh, look, Sheena.
19:38He sent us Papua's.
19:40I'm going to mess with a whole village.
19:42Great.
19:42Keep everyone to miss out on his own Lion King souvenir.
19:47It doesn't take much to make them happy, does it?
19:50Cutter, these are special celebration cups.
19:54You see, each one is hand-carved to depict a scene from life.
19:57If I know Mako, he'd probably hand-carve these himself.
20:01What a guy.
20:02You must join us for this celebration tonight, too.
20:06You will come, won't you?
20:08Wouldn't miss it for the world.
20:09Well, not every day I get to hang out with an angel.
20:21Okay, smile for the camera.
20:23Here you go.
20:24Good.
20:24I don't know how to do this thing.
20:26Let me see if I can focus on it.
20:27I'm going to get a shot of these trees.
20:30Here we go.
20:39Come on.
20:43Oh, my God.
21:36It's been a long time since I enjoyed our old tribal dances.
21:39I am surprised I still remember the steps.
21:41What we learn in childhood always has the greatest hold on our minds.
21:45On my mind, yes, but I didn't think my feet would remember.
21:48Well, we'll have to make sure we play some of the games we did as kids.
21:51And if we have time, we'll play a few rounds of capiwa.
21:53Uh-huh.
21:54Oh, yes, because I am in the mood to take someone's money.
21:58Only if later we can all go searching for guavo birds.
22:04I am not amused.
22:19Oh, my God.
22:23Oh, my God.
22:31Oh, my God.
22:34Oh, my God.
22:36Oh, my God.
22:47Oh, my God.
22:49Oh, my God.
22:55Oh, my God.
22:58Oh, my God.
23:03you are dancing
23:07you're absolutely correct
23:09I'm eating and drinking
23:12mostly I'm drinking
23:14but two out of three ain't bad
23:19suppose all that brouhaha
23:21about Mako's tribe
23:23that caused him to go into hiding
23:25there was dissension over
23:27who would succeed Mako's father as chief
23:32Mako isn't a tribal chief, is he?
23:35no, by his own choice
23:36he said he didn't want people treating him differently
23:38simply because of his blood
23:41so he pursued a life outside of the tribe
23:43but dedicated to helping tribal people
23:45does he also walk on water?
23:58I realize there's a difference
24:02in the dating rituals down here
24:04Carter, I believe you are drunk enough
24:07and I am certainly feeling comfortable enough
24:09to state the obvious
24:11you always thought
24:12you'd be the man to introduce Sheena
24:15to the wonders of sex
24:16oh, that, uh, no
24:18no, that is, that is not true
24:25okay, well, maybe
24:28maybe some of it's true
24:30which part?
24:33the part about me being drunk enough
24:38the rules of attraction
24:39aren't so different here
24:41than where you are from
24:42but the process is a lot more straightforward
24:46yeah, I guess
24:47Sheena is a fully grown woman
24:49not an innocent child
24:51treat her as an equal
24:53and she will respond
24:54anything less
24:55and she won't
24:56so, you're saying
24:58if I go to her and say
25:00you're my equal
25:01want to make whoopee
25:03she'd go for it?
25:04what I am saying
25:05is a woman responds
25:07to a man
25:07who is honest with himself
25:10go home
25:11look in the mirror
25:11and ask yourself
25:13if you are that kind of man
25:22but perhaps
25:23you should wait until tomorrow
25:25to look in the mirror
25:33okay, I've got some mic focus
25:39here, turn around
25:39smile
25:46come on
25:47turn that off
25:48get out of the car

26:52you were
26:52sitting next to Khali
26:54then you were gone
26:55I have a vague
26:57recollection of opening
26:58the door to a hut
26:59and seeing a cot
27:01and that's about it
27:02that's too bad

27:31no

27:43if you insist on going
27:45he is your best means
27:46of transportation
27:48Sheena is correct
27:49Mr. Cutter is a trained military man
27:51with excellent skills
27:56unfortunately
27:57too many compliments

29:24love you
29:25want
29:27love you
29:32You are clearly very special, Fusina.
29:35Since she chose to share her secret with you.
29:38Well, she didn't exactly choose to.
29:42I sort of caught her in the act.
29:44She could have easily convinced you that you were hallucinating.
29:46But she didn't.
29:47I am impressed.
29:49Impressed?
29:50Or annoyed?
29:54Glad I can amuse you.
29:56It's not just you, Kutter.
29:57I'm amused by both of us.
29:58Two men.
29:59Equally protective of a woman who could easily slay either of us.
30:03Yeah.
30:04Just a smile.
30:07Do you think that she would ever leave the jungle for the right person?
30:13No.
30:14No, I don't think she would.
30:17You'd have to capture her.
30:19Yes.
30:20Capture her heart.
30:22And capture her trust.
30:23The man who does that will be a surprise.
30:26This is much to him as to her.
30:38Somebody help us.
30:39We're married.
30:46Oh, please.
30:52I hear you.
30:54I'll be right back.
31:06All right.
31:07That's it.
31:08I'm going after her.
31:14I found the teachers.
31:15Do you have a shovel?
31:16Yeah.
31:20I've seen a lot of cruel things in my life, but being buried alive.
31:24We are lucky she didn't have found them when she did.
31:26They couldn't have survived in there much longer.
31:29How are they?
31:30Better now.
31:33Why would someone do this to them?
31:35To make a statement.
31:36To show the world.
31:37Just try and bring your teachers here.
31:39And we will show you what will happen if you do.
31:40No, that's a pretty gruesome act, even for Ngama.
31:45This isn't Ngama's work.
31:47He has other plans to sabotage the project.
31:51From this method of execution.
31:53Slow.
31:54And torturous.
31:56I would guess that this is Banti's work.
31:58Banti?
32:00Still?
32:01Who's Banti?
32:02The son of my father's biggest political rival in the tribe.
32:05He's the reason Mako came to our village as a child.
32:08And I thought once you didn't take over your father's reigns, all this stuff settled down.
32:11I have always been a thorn in Banti's side.
32:14He's a tyrant, just like his father.
32:17And I seek to free people of tyrants.
32:19That kind of fuel will never end.
32:21And it does not help that he can no longer skim money from the Pan-African Education Fund.
32:25Well, then we have to prove that Banti's involved.
32:30What?
32:31The scene I remember was seldom hung up on small things like proof.
32:35You have had good influences on your life since I last saw you.
32:46What's that?
32:53Well, let's hope these teachers are like every other tourist in Africa.
32:59Tate in every inch of their trip.
33:02All right.
33:03Let's get these guys back to town, get them checked out.
33:06Come on with this.
33:08You go.
33:09I still need to get to the education center.
33:11I don't think that's such a good idea.
33:13Is someone still out there gunning for you?
33:14No, he has to go.
33:15He has to reassure everybody at the school.
33:18Besides, you have my bodyguard with me.
33:22I want to reassure everyone that President N'Gama and I are doing everything possible to help locate the missing
33:29teachers.
33:30But until we do, it is our advice that you return to your homes until further notice, when we can
33:36be sure it is safe to be here.
33:38And everyone, please, pray for the safety of those two teachers.
33:44Your prayers have been answered.
33:47The teachers have been found alive and are being transported to a hospital.
33:52Meiko, do you speak the truth?
33:54Yes, yes.
33:55I've seen them myself.
33:57Come.
33:58We must call President N'Gama together and tell him the good news.
34:21All right.
34:23Okay, what do we got here?
34:25Home movies.
34:26Home movies, the primary reason I moved from the suburbs.
34:30Who?
34:32Look.
34:35I know that face.
34:37Where do I know that face?
34:39That's Rafika.
34:40He works for N'Gama's government.
34:44In that case, I was never here.
34:57Rashid, you can read me.
34:59This is Cutter.
34:59I'm headed down to the education center.
35:01I think I might need some help from the local authorities.
35:09It isn't the president here yet.
35:11Any minute, I promise.
35:14You know, I'm interested in learning how you found those teachers.
35:17I would assume that the kidnappers would have gone to great lengths to keep them hidden.
35:21I, uh, I got lucky.
35:23That is all.
35:27Perhaps you are lying.
35:31Bunty.
35:33My old friend.
35:35I was wondering if we might meet again.
35:37But I did not think it would be here.
35:39Because I know how much you despise schools.
35:45You're bluffing.
35:46You have no idea where the teachers are.
35:48At this moment, they are in the hospital.
35:51Hopefully recovering from a premature barrier.
35:54I recognize the method of execution.
35:56The hole in the ground.
35:58Victims left to suffocate to death.
36:00How is it that a stupid childhood rival would make you into this monster?
36:04There's no way he could have known what happened to those teachers.
36:07Unless someone told him.
36:10Rafika had nothing to do with this.
36:13You stupid fool.
36:15Rafika has everything to do with it.
36:17Do you think I, alone, am behind all this?
36:25He's right.
36:28Ngama has no desire to compete with learned minds.
36:33Or overly ambitious plantation owners, for that matter.
36:37What are you doing?
36:38Perhaps he's also bluffing, Bunty.
36:40We were in this together.
36:42All three of us.
36:49Do you really think Ngama would ally himself with a mere farmer?
36:57The official story will make great headlines.
37:00Two old foes die at each other's hands.
37:03Leaving the project without a leader.
37:05And his excellency without a school.
37:09What is that?
37:10That's all right.
37:11I've tried.
37:21See you in the next episode.
37:22Come on!
37:23Come on!
37:24Come on!
37:26Come on!
37:26Come on!
37:28Come on!
37:29Come on!
37:30Come on!
37:33Come on!
37:34Come on!
37:44A creature a creature I've never seen anything like it
37:46I thought there was a legend in Elimistas but it actually exists so you don't know
38:34What are you doing?
38:36Aah! Aah!
38:58Well, wonder what happened to Banti.
39:01I'm more concerned about Sina.
39:07Well, you needn't be.
39:11Sina, are you all right?
39:13Yeah, just a little wet.
39:15Wet from what?
39:16I, uh, fell into the pond.
39:19Well, I guess I'm not the only klutz around here.
39:23So, uh, tell me, what'd I miss?
39:25Well, for starters, I found out that Ngama's government was involved.
39:29The tourists did tape Rafika taking part in the kidnapping.
39:33So I'd say this is worth a thousand words,
39:36starting with the ones Ngama's gonna need
39:37to talk his way out of a politically embarrassing situation.
39:41Well, that tape can buy you some leverage, Mako.
39:44Definitely some guarantees.
39:47Well, let's hope so.
39:48Right now, I'd just like to get back to the village, catch my breath.
39:52Yeah.
39:58That creature was, was truly amazing.
40:02Always the one.
40:08This morning, someone asked me what that unfamiliar sound was that he heard.
40:16And I told him that it was the sound of minds learning to read and to write and do figures.
40:23And tomorrow there shall be new sounds.
40:26And they shall be the sounds of shovels breaking ground all over Mataka.
40:31As more and more and more schools like this one go up.
40:36In honor of a man who dedicated his life to freedom,
40:40I am proud to present the Nelson Mandela Education Center.
40:56Check out Ngama's face.
40:59That's the look of a man whose gastric juices are eating through his stomach lining.
41:08That's amazing what a humanitarian he becomes.
41:10There's a damaging videotape floating around out there.
41:15Thanks for letting me watch.
41:17Sheena, Mako knows all about your changing into animals.
41:25Well, he was there when Kali first taught me how.
41:31No, but he doesn't know about you being the drachna.
41:36And it seems like he still doesn't.
41:39That's right.
41:42He doesn't know.
41:55DE Jamaica invalid.
42:04No, he doesn't know about someone.
42:13He can say she
