00:00:28 It looks like a paradise, but it is the
00:00:32 The Kalahari.
00:00:36 ...there are many water holes,
00:00:39 But after a few weeks, the water sinks
00:00:44 The water holes dry,
00:00:48 The grass fades to a beautiful
00:00:51 ...that offers excellent grazing.
00:00:53 But for the next nine months,
00:00:56 So most of the animals move away,
00:01:02 Humans avoid the Kalahari like the
00:01:07 So the beautiful landscapes
00:01:12 Except for the little people
00:01:22 Pretty, dainty, small and graceful,
00:01:26 Where any other person
00:01:30 ...they live quite contentedly
00:01:34 They know where to dig for roots
00:01:37 ...and which berries and pods
00:01:55 Of course they know what to do
00:01:58 In the early morning,
00:02:01 ...from leaves that were carefully
00:02:10 Or a plume of grass
00:02:12 If you have the know-how, a clump
00:02:17 ...and you come to light
00:02:24 You scrape shavings off it with a stick
00:02:29 You take a handful of the shavings, point
00:02:42 They must be the most
00:02:45 They have no crime, no punishment,
00:02:48 ...no police, judges, rulers or bosses.
00:02:54 They believe that the gods put only good
00:03:00 ln this world of theirs,
00:03:05 Even a poisonous snake is not bad.
00:03:07 You just have to keep away
00:03:12 Actually, a snake is very good.
00:03:17 And the skin makes a fine pouch.
00:03:20 They live in the vastness of the
00:03:24 One family of Bushmen might meet up
00:03:28 But for the most part,
00:03:32 ...unaware there are other people
00:03:35 In the deep Kalahari, there are Bushmen
00:03:41 Sometimes they hear a thundering
00:03:45 They assume the gods have eaten too
00:03:50 Sometimes they can even see
00:03:54 Their language has
00:03:57 It seems to consist
00:04:06 They're very gentle people.
00:04:08 They'll never punish a child
00:04:11 So the kids are extremely well-behaved.
00:04:26 When the family needs meat...
00:04:27 ...the hunter dips his arrow
00:04:31 When he shoots a buck, it feels
00:04:35 The buck runs away,
00:04:37 ...and it stops running.
00:04:41 After a while, it goes to sleep.
00:04:48 The hunter apologizes. He explains
00:04:56 The characteristic which really makes
00:05:01 ...is that they have
00:05:04 Where they live,
00:05:07 Only trees and grass and animals.
00:05:09 These Bushmen have never seen
00:05:13 The hardest things they know
00:05:17 They live in a gentle world, where nothing
00:05:26 Only 600 miles to the south,
00:05:33 And here you find civilized man.
00:05:59 Civilized man refused
00:06:02 Instead he adapted his environment
00:06:05 So he built cities, roads,
00:06:08 And he put up power lines
00:06:13 But he didn't know when to stop.
00:06:15 The more he improved his
00:06:18 ...the more complicated he made it.
00:06:20 Now his children are sentenced to
00:06:24 ...how to survive in this complex
00:06:28 And civilized man, who refused
00:06:32 ...now finds he has to adapt
00:06:35 ...every hour of the day
00:06:39 For instance, if it's Monday...
00:06:41 ...and 7:30 comes up, you have to dis-
00:06:46 ...and re-adapt yourself to an
00:06:57 8:00 means everybody
00:07:06 I've got a good story
00:07:09 Handicapped children? No! You don't
00:07:14 Sorry. I'll only print sweetness and light,
00:07:20 10:30 means you can stop looking
00:07:26 And then,
00:07:30 -Hi, Kate.
00:07:32 Can you use this about the
00:07:35 -Good story?
00:07:36 They'll take anybody
00:07:39 I don't know. I got bawled out
00:07:43 My page should be sweet and light,
00:07:48 Your day is chopped into pieces.
00:07:51 -...you adapt to new circumstances.
00:07:55 No wonder some people go
00:08:01 Does the noise in my head
00:08:05 No.
00:08:07 Still got that story about
00:08:10 -Yeah. You gonna use it?
00:08:15 In the Kalahari, it's always Tuesday,
00:08:20 No clocks or calendars tell you
00:08:24 Lately, strange new things
00:08:28 Noisy birds that flew
00:08:45 One day, something fell from the sky.
00:09:02 Xi had never seen anything
00:09:06 It looked like water, but it was harder
00:09:11 He wondered why the gods
00:09:19 It was the strangest and most
00:09:23 They wondered why the gods
00:09:32 Pabo got his finger stuck in the thing and
00:09:48 Xi tried the thing out to cure thongs.
00:09:54 It was also beautifully smooth
00:10:03 And Pabo discovered
00:10:07 And every day they discovered
00:10:13 It was harder and heavier and smoother
00:10:18 It was the most useful thing
00:10:21 A real labour-saving device.
00:10:25 But the gods had been careless.
00:10:29 Now, for the first time, here was a
00:10:33 ...because there was only one of it.
00:10:41 Suddenly, everybody needed it
00:10:44 A thing they had never needed before
00:10:47 And unfamiliar emotions
00:10:51 A feeling of wanting to own,
00:11:03 Other new things came.
00:11:25 Xi was angry with the gods.
00:11:27 He shouted, "Take back your thing!
00:11:30 Look at the trouble it brought. "
00:11:32 The gods did not take it back.
00:11:34 He shouted, "You must be crazy
00:11:38 Then he shouted,
00:11:42 But he spoke too late and
00:12:04 Xi carried the thing away
00:12:21 That evening, there was no laughter
00:12:27 A strange feeling of shame
00:12:30 ...and they were very quiet.
00:12:36 Xi said, "I have buried the thing.
00:12:57 That night, a hyena smelled the blood
00:13:05 A bad-tempered warthog chased the
00:13:16 The next day, Dani found it.
00:13:28 Her brother Toma heard her playing on it
00:14:11 That night the family was very unhappy.
00:14:21 They began to talk about this thing.
00:14:26 They called it the "evil thing. "
00:14:35 Gaboo said, "Perhaps the gods
00:14:38 ...when they dropped
00:14:41 They've always sent only good things,
00:14:46 We are their children and they love us.
00:14:57 Xi said, "The thing does not
00:15:00 Tomorrow I will take it to the end
00:15:06 Gobo said, "I think the end of the earth
00:15:10 I think you'll have to walk
00:15:15 Xi said,
00:15:52 Two thousand miles to the north
00:15:55 ...trouble was brewing.
00:16:02 It's 35 million to combat erosion
00:16:06 -And 6 million for improvement of the--
00:16:49 Get out. We need the car.
00:17:11 That was Sam Boga's gang.
00:17:16 -That's what I thought.
00:17:19 There were two jeeps.
00:17:22 -Sam Boga was there?
00:17:24 This time, he's got to die.
00:17:35 Bring him here.
00:17:45 Where is Sam Boga?
00:17:50 Where is your hideout?
00:17:56 Bring the one in the corridor.
00:17:59 Bring that one.
00:18:08 Where is Sam Boga?
00:18:13 Take them...
00:18:17 ...to the helicopter.
00:18:27 They went south.
00:18:29 -I'll direct you from the helicopter.
00:18:43 Gas guzzler.
00:18:45 Four of the eight assassins
00:18:48 The other four were shot in the
00:18:52 -Bastards.
00:18:55 ...the trademark
00:18:57 ...led by the notorious Sam Boga.
00:19:00 However, eyewitnesses state Sam Boga
00:19:05 It is assumed that he masterminded the
00:19:10 Sources announced
00:19:13 ...the ministers of education,
00:19:17 The president, who survived the hail
00:19:22 ...will be addressing the nation
00:19:30 We did it! We did it! We got the
00:19:35 You didn't, you know. That's him.
00:19:37 It was the will of the Almighty
00:19:40 We mourn the deaths
00:19:43 ...of my Cabinet.
00:19:46 He's lying. We got six.
00:19:48 You killed three and wounded five.
00:19:53 And you lost four.
00:19:55 Why do I have to work with
00:19:59 Yes, we were in and out in two
00:20:26 Attention.
00:20:33 -What happened?
00:20:36 -How long ago?
00:20:40 Okay, let's go!
00:20:48 Now, you tell me.
00:20:52 Where is Sam Boga?
00:20:55 Where is your hideout?
00:21:04 Next time you're going
00:21:07 I'll tell you, I'll tell you!
00:21:12 I'll tell you, I'll tell you! I'll show you.
00:21:16 I'll tell you. I'll show you where.
00:21:19 -Do you hear me?
00:21:21 -Banana forest at Dumgaze. Follow me.
00:21:25 The man we want is the president,
00:21:31 Understand? I'll come with you.
00:21:35 Cover up! Cover up!
00:21:41 Come on. Mount the bazooka.
00:21:46 Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!
00:21:50 Now take cover. You, you go there.
00:21:52 Not there, you bloody fool.
00:22:01 -Well?
00:22:04 You cannot see them,
00:22:10 Okay.
00:22:21 You see, there they are.
00:22:29 Okay. No, hold it.
00:22:48 Okay. Shit.
00:22:54 Cut it out, man!
00:22:57 Okay.
00:23:18 -Born to be our champion.
00:23:20 -Beautiful, man.
00:23:22 Quiet.
00:23:26 Stand by.
00:23:44 Let's go.
00:24:39 The most inquisitive creature
00:25:02 Xi said,
00:25:06 You better give it back so I can
00:25:10 It brought unhappiness to my family.
00:25:13 ...it'll bring grief to you
00:25:19 He spoke long and earnestly until
00:25:25 He must have convinced it,
00:25:28 And Xi said,
00:25:53 -So you want to go to Botswana?
00:25:59 But in the Kalahari?
00:26:01 Mom, it's not in the Kalahari.
00:27:01 Get in there. Why do they put the
00:27:08 Right in my bloody face.
00:27:13 Every year I have to lay here
00:27:19 Keep it down a bit, Mpudi.
00:27:25 Okay, Mpudi. Go ahead.
00:27:27 Every year you come here with a bigger
00:27:32 And every year, you turn up with this
00:27:40 That's funny. This elephant's dung
00:27:54 Hello, Reverend.
00:27:57 I hit a rock with my crankcase.
00:28:00 The trouble is, I have to meet the
00:28:04 You can have that one,
00:28:07 We've been knocking around
00:28:10 I promised Mpudi that I'd work here,
00:28:15 Here, Reverend.
00:28:17 -Thank you.
00:28:20 Morning, Mpudi.
00:28:22 Morning, Mpudi.
00:28:24 -Morning.
00:28:27 She's gonna be a bastard to start.
00:28:30 -I put in new rings and they're tight.
00:28:35 You said I could have a whole week.
00:28:37 This is an emergency. We want to know
00:28:42 I haven't looked at the brakes
00:28:45 -Mpudi.
00:28:47 As soon as I connect the steering
00:28:51 There we are, Reverend.
00:28:55 I don't think I can handle her.
00:28:59 Well, she is a thing.
00:29:05 I was hoping-- I was ho--
00:29:14 -I was hoping you could go.
00:29:18 -Yes, aren't we all?
00:29:21 When I'm in the presence of a lady,
00:29:26 -I turn into an idiot.
00:29:29 -It only gets worse.
00:29:43 Come on, Prince. Come on. Go, boy.
00:29:46 Come on, boy.
00:29:50 Okay.
00:29:53 Son of a--
00:30:01 You tried to murder me,
00:30:04 Don't switch her off or let her stall.
00:30:08 Don't park on a slope.
00:30:11 Now you tell me.
00:30:13 -Goodbye.
00:30:14 -Take care, now. Goodbye.
00:30:27 One day, a very noisy animal rushed
00:30:34 It left very peculiar tracks, as if two
00:37:13 Everybody lie down on the ground.
00:37:15 All of you, lie down!
00:37:18 Come on, lie down, you and you!
00:37:20 Everybody lie down!
00:37:23 Hey, you! Didn't you hear me?
00:37:32 He can't hear you, sir.
00:37:33 -He's deaf.
00:38:32 Hey, wake up!
00:38:35 Did two jeeps pass here?
00:38:37 Yes, sir. They took half my stock.
00:38:39 They took a big can of petrol,
00:38:43 If you find them, ask them.
00:38:46 It's a lot of stuff they took.
00:39:01 Morning.
00:39:12 -Miss Thompson?
00:39:14 -My name--
00:39:17 My name-- My name is--
00:39:21 My name--
00:39:35 My name is Andrew Steyn.
00:39:37 How do you do?
00:39:40 The Reverend cracked his crankcase,
00:39:57 Thank you.
00:40:23 How far do we have to go?
00:40:26 How far do we have to go?
00:40:29 How--?
00:40:31 Oh, sorry.
00:40:38 Hello, Andrew.
00:40:40 Hello, Phineas.
00:40:41 -Good morning, madam.
00:40:44 -I'm sorry, madam. Sorry.
00:40:46 Here. I'm truly sorry,
00:40:49 It's all right.
00:40:56 What are you doing?
00:41:08 What--? What--? What are you--?
00:41:11 -Yes.
00:41:13 I'm opening the gate.
00:41:19 How do I get out of here?
00:41:21 No, it's all right. I....
00:41:29 Now I just....
00:41:39 -Oh, this is too weird. I'm getting out.
00:41:47 -What are you doing now?
00:41:50 Are you crazy? It has no brakes!
00:41:54 -Are you crazy?
00:41:57 -What?
00:42:01 -What do you mean, it'll come back?
00:42:04 -I suppose you think it was funny.
00:42:08 I noticed.
00:42:34 Xi saw a strange-looking person,
00:42:36 But the man didn't hear him.
00:42:46 Xi said, "This is a funny stick.
00:43:08 He couldn't understand
00:43:10 He realized the man must've seen
00:43:14 That's what made him run.
00:43:35 -She stopped.
00:43:38 Can you start her again?
00:43:41 No. We gave her new rings,
00:43:45 -How far are we from the mission?
00:43:49 -Will we get there before dark?
00:43:52 -This thing has stopped.
00:43:56 Are you sure you can't start her?
00:43:58 Yes. This morning it took a horse
00:44:01 -So now what?
00:44:03 And there's some food
00:44:06 Spend the night?
00:44:08 I'm afraid so.
00:44:10 You sure this thing's stopped?
00:44:12 Yes. Didn't you notice?
00:44:18 I can carry you across.
00:44:22 Okay.
00:44:32 Watch it! Be careful!
00:44:36 Thank you.
00:44:40 I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
00:44:45 -I'm sorry.
00:44:48 -Your what?
00:44:54 I'm sorry.
00:44:55 Well, watch it, buster.
00:44:59 I'm sorry.
00:45:01 -Sorry. I'll fetch your bags.
00:45:04 I'll get them myself.
00:45:08 I'm all right. I'm okay.
00:45:23 Leave that one. I don't need it.
00:45:37 Idiot.
00:46:05 What are you doing?
00:46:10 -Go away!
00:46:12 Keep away! You keep away from me!
00:46:15 No, I wasn't-- There was this warthog.
00:46:18 -What warthog?
00:46:20 Keep away.
00:46:23 -I wasn't--
00:46:27 I wasn't--
00:46:30 I didn't....
00:46:32 Half a mile away, Xi was fixing dinner
00:46:32 Half a mile away, Xi was fixing dinner
00:46:39 The rhino is the self-appointed
00:46:43 When he sees a fire,
00:47:02 -Do you work here in Botswana?
00:47:07 And what do you do?
00:47:10 I-- I collect manure. I--
00:47:14 Get away from-- Get away from--
00:47:17 Leave me alone!
00:47:46 Miss Thompson?
00:47:50 Miss Thompson?
00:47:55 Miss Thompson!
00:47:57 Miss Thompson!
00:48:01 -Who's gone?
00:48:03 What bloody rhinoceros?
00:48:06 Didn't you see him?
00:48:08 You stamped out the fire.
00:48:10 No, he did it first.
00:48:14 -But didn't you see?
00:48:17 Miss Thompson, if you make a fire,
00:48:22 ...he comes and stamps it out.
00:48:25 Rhinos do that.
00:48:29 You get sudden urges, and come
00:48:33 All right, I'll show you.
00:48:38 Think I'm lying. I'll show you.
00:48:48 You see how I'm making another fire?
00:48:51 You'll see he'll come back.
00:49:02 Maybe it's too far away.
00:49:05 Maybe it's upwind.
00:49:23 Mr. Steyn.
00:49:40 Ask them. They'll tell you
00:49:43 I don't speak the language.
00:49:45 Okay, I'll ask them.
00:49:55 -See?
00:49:56 They're Tswanas. They always shake
00:50:31 What are you doing?
00:50:34 I'm making coffee.
00:50:50 Some people didn't show
00:50:53 They smashed the barrier.
00:50:57 -Were they in two jeeps?
00:50:59 They're being followed by
00:51:02 Excuse me, sir.
00:51:07 -Yes, sir. I can see one.
00:51:09 Yes, sir.
00:51:10 Stop! Stop, stop, stop! Stop!
00:51:16 Frank?
00:51:18 Frank? Frank, what was that noise?
00:51:21 Frank?
00:51:25 I stopped them, sir.
00:51:27 Right. Explain that they cannot cross
00:51:30 We cannot allow them to violate
00:51:34 Request permission to cross
00:51:39 Sorry. We cannot allow an armed force
00:51:42 I gotta get Sam Boga.
00:51:45 Our police will track him down and
00:51:59 Bye. Bye. Can't they help us?
00:52:03 They'll take a message to the river.
00:52:06 I think I can get the thing
00:52:09 There's an electric winch on the front.
00:53:26 Mr. Steyn?
00:53:28 Mr. Steyn!
00:53:33 -Miss Thompson?
00:53:36 Don't look.
00:53:38 That's a watape tree. You mustn't go
00:53:43 Could you hand me my gown, please?
00:53:54 The pink one with the white edging.
00:54:07 Ow! Thank you.
00:54:11 Sorry.
00:00:15 Sorry.
00:00:38 Thank you very much. Thank you.
00:01:13 That morning, Xi saw the ugliest
00:01:18 She was as pale as something
00:01:22 Her hair was quite gruesome...
00:01:24 ...long and stringy and white,
00:01:27 She was very big.
00:01:28 You'd have to dig the whole day
00:01:39 Go away.
00:01:44 Although it was a hot day,
00:01:47 ...that looked as if they
00:01:55 She was doing strange
00:01:58 It struck him that she must be
00:02:00 He wondered what she
00:02:03 He was glad he met her.
00:02:06 ...and go home to his family.
00:02:08 He said tactfully that he didn't need
00:02:12 But she was very rude,
00:02:20 -That's a Bushman. How'd he get here?
00:02:24 There was another god.
00:02:27 The smoke came out
00:02:30 Xi said politely, "lt was kind of you
00:02:33 ...but it made my family unhappy.
00:02:36 Sorry, no sabe.
00:02:39 Where's the truck?
00:02:55 I'll try and get it down.
00:02:58 There was a peculiar sound, and Xi saw
00:03:03 It's legs went around
00:03:05 And there was
00:03:08 He wore blue skin on his head
00:03:11 And hair grew on his face.
00:03:13 What the hell happened?
00:03:17 The funny thing was
00:03:20 They made sounds like monkeys.
00:03:22 -Hi.
00:03:29 What the hell did you do that for, huh?
00:03:33 I'll tell you later. Let's get it down.
00:03:35 And the little Bushman?
00:03:39 I don't know. He was trying
00:03:43 -You speak Bushman?
00:03:49 The hairy one could speak.
00:03:57 He says, "Thanks for the bottle,
00:04:00 I didn't give it to him.
00:04:02 -Well, he don't want the bottle.
00:04:07 The hairy one said, "We don't want it.
00:04:12 Xi was very disappointed.
00:04:14 It was unfair of the gods to make him
00:04:18 In fact, he began to doubt
00:04:34 Get out! Get out!
00:04:37 Get in there! Move it! Move it!
00:04:40 Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
00:05:11 Yes, yes, yes. Here comes
00:05:15 Miss Thompson, I presume.
00:05:16 Hello, Steyn. How would you like
00:05:20 Yes, thank you.
00:05:24 How do you open this thing?
00:05:31 Quaint. Milady?
00:05:34 -Thank you very much, Mr. Steyn, for....
00:05:37 Goodbye, Miss Thompson.
00:05:39 By the way, I am Jack Hind.
00:05:41 The Reverend's worried.
00:05:44 ...so I offered to look for you.
00:05:47 -It sure was.
00:05:50 Sure.
00:05:51 Thank you, Mr. Steyn.
00:05:55 See you, Steyn. See you, Mpudi.
00:06:32 I don't want to talk about it.
00:06:36 She thinks I'm a lunatic,
00:06:39 You know, she asks me what do I do,
00:06:45 I don't tell her I analyse it
00:06:48 I bet you she thinks I shovel the stuff.
00:06:54 Was it rough?
00:06:55 I'd rather not talk about it.
00:06:58 That rough.
00:07:00 It won't be long now,
00:07:03 When you get there, you'll have to
00:07:07 ...while the whole tribe sings
00:07:10 Then you can relax, have a bath
00:07:14 Is it true that when a rhino sees a fire,
00:07:18 Where did you hear that one?
00:07:22 Why would he tell you that?
00:07:24 I'd rather not talk about it.
00:07:27 -Here. This'll put hair on your chest.
00:07:35 She wouldn't believe me about
00:07:38 -What rhinoceros?
00:07:41 So how did this thing get up the tree?
00:07:44 She got stuck in a watape tree
00:07:48 You know she's got flowers
00:07:53 So that's how this thing got up the tree.
00:07:56 Yes.
00:08:38 Don't I wave or take a bow
00:08:40 No.
00:08:59 Notorious Communist guerrilla leader
00:09:03 ...have crashed through into Botswana.
00:09:05 -They are heading for Mozambique.
00:09:09 Not even 300.
00:09:11 I told you bastards,
00:09:13 Now we can't even fight back anymore.
00:09:16 All of you switch your guns over
00:09:20 Anyone withholding information
00:09:24 That's automatic. That's single.
00:09:27 Citizens are warned that Sam Boga
00:09:30 ...and that he and his gang
00:09:35 And why are you so beautiful?
00:09:37 I'm going to the school
00:09:40 You gonna look like that?
00:09:41 -Like what?
00:09:43 You've gotta smile
00:09:46 How are you an expert on women?
00:09:48 I got seven wives. How many you got?
00:09:50 -Why aren't you at home with them?
00:09:54 -Nobody knows how to live with them.
00:09:58 Someday I have to tell you
00:10:08 "And yet we all agree
00:10:12 ...was cracked by Mr. Nobody.
00:10:15 'Tis he who tears our books, who--"
00:10:37 Come in.
00:10:38 Good morning, Mr. Steyn.
00:10:43 Morning, class.
00:10:45 Good morning, Mr. Steyn.
00:10:48 I-- I brought--
00:11:15 Please, just leave it.
00:11:20 I brought you your shoes.
00:11:29 Come in.
00:11:38 Come in.
00:11:43 Shoe.
00:12:05 You don't want to talk about it, huh?
00:12:10 Shame.
00:12:27 The animals looked ridiculous
00:12:30 ...and he was hungry.
00:13:04 Suddenly a young boy made
00:13:07 So he said, "I shot
00:13:10 It'll go to sleep soon,
00:13:15 But the boy ran away, maybe to call
00:13:41 There was a weird sound...
00:13:42 ...and another of those strange animals
00:13:50 The young boy and a grownup got
00:13:53 Xi said, "Come, sit down.
00:14:02 But the man was rude and greedy.
00:14:08 He said, "You have very bad manners.
00:14:10 If you eat the whole thing,
00:14:17 The man shouted,
00:14:20 ...with such an uncouth person,
00:14:25 Suddenly there was a thunderclap.
00:14:27 The animals ran away, and he ran
00:14:49 Do you speak English?
00:14:50 You are free to remain silent
00:14:54 If you speak now, whatever you say will
00:15:15 And why are you so beautiful?
00:15:18 I got to go to court.
00:15:20 What did you do?
00:15:21 The cops were here. They say they
00:15:26 They say all he can speak is "Xixo,"
00:15:30 Xixo.
00:15:30 Xixo.
00:15:37 They brought Xi into a place
00:15:40 He smiled at them in greeting,
00:15:55 Interpreter.
00:16:04 You, Xixo, are hereby charged with
00:16:08 ...one goat on the 21st of September,
00:16:13 How plead you?
00:16:17 Mpudi found it difficult to interpret
00:16:20 ...there was no word for "guilty. "
00:16:25 Finally he asked,
00:16:28 Xi said, "Yes, I did, but that man took it.
00:16:33 -Well, what does he plead?
00:16:37 -They gave him the death sentence.
00:16:41 Three months in jail, same thing.
00:16:47 He never seen a wall.
00:16:50 But didn't you explain to them?
00:16:52 -They said, "Silence in court."
00:16:57 Nobody knows the Bushmen.
00:17:01 Nobody ever goes
00:17:03 How come you know so much
00:17:06 When Botswana belonged to the British,
00:17:11 So I fled, right into the Kalahari.
00:17:14 I died, you know. Dehydration.
00:17:17 Some of those little buggers
00:17:20 Only my head stuck out.
00:17:22 For two weeks, they pushed water
00:17:25 And when they dug me up,
00:17:28 Like you.
00:17:29 I lived with them for three years.
00:17:34 He gonna die for sure.
00:17:48 Can I go to Mahadi tomorrow?
00:17:51 You wanna go and see
00:17:54 I want to get him out.
00:17:56 Now, don't do anything silly.
00:17:59 They got to let him out.
00:18:02 Maybe if we explain to them.
00:18:05 -You coming too?
00:18:28 Says he's sorry.
00:18:32 -Has he eaten anything? It's been a week.
00:18:38 Of course we're worried.
00:18:41 -You've got to let him out.
00:18:44 Well, is there no way?
00:18:48 Well, if somebody wants to employ
00:18:52 But he has no experience,
00:18:55 He got qualifications.
00:18:56 He can teach you things
00:19:00 Yes. We want to employ him
00:19:13 He will have to remain in your employ
00:19:16 If he leaves, we will hunt him down
00:19:20 Okay, thanks.
00:19:37 We can't put him inside.
00:19:39 No, you're right.
00:20:25 I understand the words,
00:20:29 Talks about a bad thing,
00:20:34 And about the end of the world.
00:20:36 Well, explain to him he has
00:20:40 -He doesn't know from weeks.
00:20:52 -Hello, Andrew. Mpudi.
00:20:55 I hear a Bushman's working for you.
00:20:57 Yeah, his name is Xi.
00:21:00 -Are they good trackers?
00:21:02 Mind if I borrow him?
00:21:04 One of my guests wounded a cougar.
00:21:14 This is where we lost him.
00:21:37 You'll see, he'll find him.
00:21:53 Hey! Hey!
00:22:09 Scram, go away!
00:22:12 Get!
00:22:18 Go away!
00:22:33 -I'm sorry, I didn't realise--
00:22:48 What do you want?
00:22:51 Hurry up. Hurry up.
00:22:55 Come on. Get him.
00:23:10 You can drop those guns.
00:23:20 Bastard.
00:23:22 You want me to let fly?
00:23:27 Now get out.
00:23:36 Bring out all the kids.
00:23:42 Sergeant, I'm going to walk due east
00:23:45 ...and I'm taking
00:23:48 If I see one truck or one aeroplane
00:23:51 ...or one soldier or one person...
00:23:54 ...we'll mow these kids down.
00:23:56 -Have you got shortwave in there?
00:23:59 Now get on to headquarters, and tell them
00:24:05 The army and the police
00:24:09 And they've got to put down food
00:24:12 And then get the hell out of the way
00:24:18 All right, get them into a circle.
00:24:22 Leave the small ones. It's miles
00:24:29 Okay, now buzz off.
00:24:31 Clear out the people from this end...
00:24:33 ...because I want to start marching
00:24:40 And I warn you,
00:24:47 Clutch.
00:24:54 Brake. Brake.
00:24:57 Clutch. Clutch!
00:25:03 I'm teaching him to drive.
00:25:06 Nothing else to do around here anyhow.
00:25:09 -Still mooning about the schoolmarm?
00:25:12 I want to move up to Nioko for a
00:25:16 -How will this get us through the jungle?
00:25:35 Come on, Xi. Come on!
00:25:42 He don't know from doors.
00:26:20 Stop playing that bloody game.
00:26:23 Okay, it's time. Let's go.
00:26:25 Come on. Everybody up.
00:26:27 Come on, let's go.
00:26:30 Keep them in a circle around me.
00:26:32 Move them!
00:26:35 -Keep your paws to yourself!
00:26:38 Get them into a circle.
00:26:42 -Stop yelling at them.
00:26:46 -Can't you do anything right?
00:26:48 They keep coming up in a square.
00:26:50 Then, make it a square.
00:26:53 Keep them going.
00:26:58 Who says they'll come this way?
00:27:00 He says he wants a corridor
00:27:03 I'm sorry. We'll have to get out of the way
00:27:08 Where can I find Andrew Steyn?
00:27:10 You'd better warn him too.
00:27:13 You turn right at the....
00:27:15 Damn it, I'll come and show you.
00:27:18 Johnny, will you take them to Machadi?
00:27:36 Tell them to sing.
00:29:05 Wouldn't you know?
00:29:06 Now where do we find him?
00:29:13 They left this morning.
00:29:16 Come on!
00:29:47 They went through.
00:29:48 They'll meet up with Boga for sure.
00:29:50 -Is there a way around this?
00:29:54 Well, let's go.
00:30:28 Mpudi.
00:30:48 One, two, three, four, five...
00:30:54 ...six adult oryx.
00:31:00 He says there are people
00:31:03 -Where?
00:31:16 Army truck. Unloading something.
00:31:20 I wonder what they're up to.
00:31:26 Looks like food.
00:31:30 Maybe it's a picnic.
00:31:33 Funny. They're going away.
00:31:37 -They went away and left their stuff.
00:31:44 Oh, well.
00:31:46 One, two, three, four, five, six....
00:32:09 You've got to let them rest.
00:32:12 The smaller ones can't keep up.
00:32:14 They can rest
00:32:17 -You're driving them too hard.
00:32:20 You said 20 miles.
00:32:23 Halt!
00:32:33 Look at that!
00:32:34 I told you,
00:32:43 You've got to let
00:32:45 Nobody turns back.
00:32:47 Next thing,
00:32:51 Next one drops out, I shoot him!
00:32:54 You, you, help her.
00:32:59 If I catch you playing again,
00:33:03 March!
00:33:04 They can't march 20 miles.
00:33:08 If they want to eat,
00:33:12 Are you scared it'll spoil your image
00:33:18 Halt!
00:33:27 You! Come here!
00:33:36 See that hill over there?
00:33:39 Go to the top, and wave this thing
00:33:43 Then you go down to them, and
00:33:52 Now I want them to leave food
00:33:56 -Understand?
00:33:57 Now, get going. Move!
00:34:03 March!
00:34:06 One ostrich and four, five...
00:34:08 ...six, seven, eight--
00:34:21 A lot of children. The food
00:34:25 -What the hell? They've got guns.
00:34:28 No. There are men down there
00:34:32 I think those kids are hostages.
00:34:35 What was that on the news
00:34:43 That man said I must go to the top,
00:34:53 So Miss Kate said 20 miles
00:34:55 -Is she down there?
00:35:09 We'll have to immobilise them.
00:35:12 -Are Bushmen good stalkers?
00:35:15 Let him have a look at them.
00:35:24 All right.
00:35:26 Explain to him that the men with the guns
00:35:37 He want to know how did
00:35:40 No, no, they're not....
00:35:43 You explain.
00:35:45 One hour, then we move!
00:35:47 I'm gonna have a snooze.
00:36:14 "Dear Miss Thompson:
00:36:16 Your abductors have been injected
00:36:21 When they go to sleep,
00:36:25 Tell him he must give her the note
00:36:34 When he shoots, he must
00:36:36 ...so the man can think it was a horsefly
00:36:50 He's fast. It'll work.
00:36:52 He must dip the needle each time.
00:37:30 I can't see the little bugger.
00:37:33 Yeah, I see him.
00:37:54 Now, look at that.
00:37:56 Yeah, he's clever.
00:39:04 Nothing's happening down there.
00:39:06 It takes time.
00:39:14 Who are you?
00:39:59 Some of those guys are down.
00:40:05 Hey, wake up, man.
00:40:09 Come on, you can't sleep now.
00:40:36 We need some rope.
00:40:39 He can fetch it.
00:40:47 Says he don't understand the gears.
00:40:51 -Told him he can drive in any gear.
00:40:54 And you take that one.
00:40:56 And you, that one.
00:40:59 And I'll take--
00:41:01 There's only six.
00:41:13 Maybe they're asleep as well.
00:41:20 All right.
00:41:22 I want you to circulate
00:41:25 Quietly. And tell them that
00:41:29 ...they must run fast into that crevice
00:41:33 Okay? Good.
00:41:47 Ready? Go!
00:41:56 Come on!
00:42:06 No! Get down, get down!
00:42:09 And stay there!
00:42:15 Get back! All of you!
00:42:19 -Hey, watch it!
00:42:33 We've got to outflank them.
00:42:59 Get back! Get back!
00:43:02 Hurry up!
00:43:16 -You okay?
00:43:17 -Who are they shooting at?
00:43:24 Four, five, six.
00:43:26 Two are missing.
00:43:28 This one here, and I heard
00:43:40 Look.
00:43:57 Roll over.
00:44:01 Mpudi, hold him.
00:45:29 What's happened?
00:45:32 Have you got water in there?
00:45:34 Hold these for me.
00:45:40 -Get up.
00:45:43 Oh, it's a long story.
00:45:46 What happened to those guys?
00:45:50 Did you kill them?
00:45:52 They've been immobilised.
00:45:54 Where's Kate and the kids?
00:45:56 They're hiding back there.
00:45:59 Oh, my God. Mpudi.
00:46:02 Keep that guy covered.
00:46:12 Kate! It's okay.
00:46:19 We've got everything under control.
00:46:22 -Jack?
00:46:26 It's okay. You can all come out.
00:46:29 All right, come on. Come on.
00:46:48 You're safe now.
00:46:49 Better collect those men before
00:46:53 -Did you fix him good?
00:46:58 Walk.
00:47:09 Boy, you had a tough time, huh?
00:47:12 Watch out!
00:47:13 Stop fooling around, Steyn.
00:47:16 I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
00:47:35 I'm sorry.
00:47:37 It's all right, Steyn. Move.
00:47:48 Milady.
00:47:52 Sergeant, get on the radio and organise
00:47:56 How come suddenly he the big hero?
00:48:00 We'd better get back to our equipment.
00:48:13 Says thank you, goodbye and
00:48:17 -Tell him thanks. I'll miss him.
00:48:20 -l have to--
00:48:22 -What can I give him?
00:48:25 -Bushmen don't need things.
00:48:36 He's going the wrong way.
00:48:43 Says he got to find the
00:48:46 I don't know.
00:48:49 -I'm going to miss the little bugger.
00:48:52 -You gonna look like that forever?
00:48:55 Like Jack Hind is better than you.
00:48:57 -No, I'm going to talk to her.
00:49:01 No, I can't do that.
00:49:03 But I do want to talk to her.
00:49:05 I'll tell her....
00:49:07 I'll say, "Look, Miss Thompson...
00:49:10 ...I know you think I'm an idiot...
00:49:12 ...but normally I'm quite normal.
00:49:15 It's only when I'm in the presence
00:49:18 It's really just an interesting
00:49:22 If a man who is susceptible to a type
00:49:26 ...encounters a nubile
00:49:30 I suppose another big word happens.
00:49:33 -Too erudite?
00:49:36 Okay. I'll put it more simply. I'll say:
00:49:39 "Look, Miss Thompson.
00:49:42 Kate. Kate.
00:49:45 It's really only an interesting
00:49:48 She'll understand that bit.
00:49:51 I'll say, "When there's no lady present...
00:49:54 ...I can catch an insect
00:49:57 If she knew me better, she'd
00:50:00 -All I need is a little practise. If I--
00:50:26 There she is.
00:50:32 You better do your thing
00:50:35 Yeah.
00:50:43 Morning.
00:50:45 Morning, Miss Thompson.
