:46:00
I can handle Gruber.
Don't worry about me.
:46:03
I was worried about Gruber.
:46:09
What's going on at the Rio Negro
that it needs you?
:46:14
We've had some strange reports
recently. Nothing definite.
:46:18
- Trouble?
- I think so.
:46:22
- Your servants?
- Gone to the village. You can talk.
:46:25
Siji birds have been seen
as far west as Ecuador.
:46:28
Even monkeys are
moving out of the Rio Negro.
:46:31
Something is driving them out,
and i think it's something big.
:46:35
What?
:46:38
Marabunta.
:47:09
- You really think it's that?
- I'm hoping not.
:47:13
It hasn't happened in years.
:47:15
I looked it up before i left.
27 years ago was the last time.
:47:20
100 years would be too soon.
I have to go and see.
:47:24
How were you planning to go?
:47:27
Upstream to the mouth of the
Baramura, then across to the big river.
:47:31
I'll go with you. We can take the woman
as far as the Baramura.
:47:35
She can get the mail boat there.
:47:38
Do you want her to go that badly?
:47:40
If it's marabunta in the Rio Negro,
she'll be glad to go.
:47:55
Perhaps it is best for her to leave.
:47:59
I don't think i'm mistaken
about what is happening.
