Augustus Margary survived toothache,
rheumatism, pleurisy and dysentery...

:14:08
...only to be murdered when
he completed his mission...

:14:11
...and traveled beyond Bhamo.
:14:17
Laroche loved orchids, but I...
:14:19
I came to believe he loved the
difficulty and fatality of getting them...

:14:23
...almost as much as he loved
the orchids themselves.

:14:28
I've been a professional horticulturist
for, like, 12 years.

:14:32
I owned my own plant nursery,
which was destroyed by the hurricane.

:14:35
I'm a professional plant lecturer.
:14:38
I've given over, like, 60 lectures
on the cultivation of plants.

:14:41
I'm a published author,
both in magazine and book form.

:14:45
And I have extensive experience
with orchids...

:14:47
...and the asexual micropropagation
of orchids under aseptic cultures.

:14:52
That's laboratory work.
It's not at all like your nursery work.

:14:58
I'm probably the smartest person
I know.

:15:01
- Thank you.
- You're very welcome.

:15:08
Mr. Laroche?
I'm Susan Orlean.

:15:10
I'm a writer for The New Yorker.
It's a magazine that...

:15:13
I'm familiar with The New Yorker.
:15:15
"The New Yorker?
Yes, The New Yorker." Right?

:15:18
That's right.
:15:20
I'm very interested in doing a piece
on your situation here, and...

:15:24
Yeah? Yeah.
:15:25
You wanna put this in?
:15:27
I don't care what goes on here.
:15:29
I'm right, and I'll take it all the way
to Supreme Court.

:15:32
Because that judge can screw herself.
:15:42
- That for real would go in?
- Absolutely.

:15:54
We open on State Road 29.
:15:56
A battered white van speeds along,
making a sharp, skidding right...

:15:59
...into the Fakahatchee Strand
State Preserve.
