but my child, that's different.

They'll accuse you of raping.

- You'll be stuck off.

- I don't care.

They'll shame you publicly.

- You'll be driven from country.

- I don't care.

Mister Toko Ambaki, born 26 of

October 1850...

in the province of Oubangui.

Profession:
Circus artist.

Subject of the King Mateke Seko.

Is that correct?

According to the decision taken

by the magistrate court...

the body is to be placed at

the disposal of Royal Academy.

Would you sign here please?

Remove the body, please.

Are you all right?

Take her home.

I have to go to the Academy.

I'll catch up with you later.

Zachary, stay with her.

I know...

Madame, I beg you, you've

nothing to do with this man.

- He'll betray you as the others.

- Leave us alone, Mr. MacBride.

I have to see Likola. I have

to protect her from this.

Get out of here!

This man is a monster!

The world should know

the evil's in this man!

He destroyed everything!

I've come here today to talk of

one thing and one thing only.

The killing of Douglas.

Everyone knows that the true

murderer is the female savage.

Here's the true

count of the affair.

The savage will receive the

death penalty...

and the embryo she's carrying

will be yielded up to science.

Unless what?

My brother insists that you

authenticate your results.

He wants to acknowledge your

manipulation of the pygmies.

And do disavow all your claims

for intelligence and humanity.

If you do this, theyll not

pursue the matter in courts.

Mister MacBride?

And do please tell Frayser that

our friend is as lively as ever.

Likola has become one of the

people I know best.

I know her sadness, her doubts,

her hopes and her dreams...

and this without one word

being exchanged between us.

Zachary was always fearful

on the journey...

worried what the tribesmen

would do if they knew...

we're traveling with a pygmy

so we traveled incognito.

Likola's renown slowly grew.

Who was this mysterious being?

Mr. MacBride...

I'm going back to Africa.

It's where I should be...

It's where my heart is.

I may well see Dr. Dodd,

Jamie...

Is there anything you

would like me to say to him?

Yes, Jamie...

Goodbye, Mr. MacBride.

I'm very sorry.

Tell her to push Zacharyl!

Keep breathing.

Push... yes...

I can see your baby.

Push!

I wanted to go into the

forest with her...

to continue to protect her

and her baby boy...

but she made me understand that

our journey had come to an end.

There, at the border of her

land, the frontier of her world.

When Toko died...

I caught and held his last

breath in the palm of my hand.

This is a custom among certain

African tribes.

They believe whoever catches

the last breath...

who carry that dead person soul

and spirit with him forever...
