:46:01
I can handle Gruber.
Don't worry about me.
:46:04
I was worried about Gruber.
:46:10
What's going on at the Rio Negro
that it needs you?
:46:15
Well, we've had some strange reports
recently. Nothing definite.
:46:19
- Trouble?
- I think so.
:46:23
Your servants...?
:46:24
They've gone to the village.
You can talk.
:46:26
Siji birds have been seen
as far west as Ecuador.
:46:29
Even the monkeys are moving
out of the Rio Negro.
:46:32
Something is driving them out.
:46:34
And I think it's something big.
:46:36
What?
:46:39
Marabunta.
:47:10
- You really think it's that?
- I'm hoping not.
:47:15
- It hasn't happened in years.
- I looked it up before I left.
:47:18
Twenty-seven years ago
was the last time.
:47:21
A hundred years would be too soon.
I have to go and see.
:47:26
How were you planning to go?
:47:28
Upstream to the mouth
of the Baramura,
:47:30
then across to the big river.
:47:32
I'll go with you.
:47:34
We can take the woman
as far as the Baramura.
:47:37
She can get the mail boat there.
:47:39
You want her to go that badly?
:47:42
If it's marabunta in the Rio Negro,
she'll be glad to go.
:47:56
Perhaps it is best for her to leave.
