[Siren wailing in distance]

- Kira!

Where have you been?

- I had to run some
errands during lunch.

My vacation is in
3 days, remember?

- Right! Scottsdale!
Exciting!

But I need you to help me QA the
interactive shark-diving feature

for the new travel site.

- Vicky, I cannot believe you
got in the water with sharks!

- It's not like I was
petting them or anything.

There was a cage.

- There is not a cage big enough

that can make me even
consider doing that.

- You sit safely in your chair
and experience it online!

Help me, please.

- Don't you have a bazillion
Twitter followers?

Can't you get them
to beta-test it for you?

- I did, but it involves
them having to read

more than 280 characters
at a time, so...

- How do you have so
many followers, anyway?

- I do things like get
in the water with sharks.

- Listen, I'm sorry.
I just can't.

I have to finish
my own websites.

The more work
I get done here,

the less I have
to do on vacation.

- You're going to Scottsdale.
What else are you gonna do?

- I'm gonna golf,
and I'm gonna go the spa,

and I'm gonna hike!

- You don't hike.

- I might, if the trails
are clearly marked.

- Kira, shark diving
isn't for everyone.

It's OK to like things
to be safe and dependable.

- You mean boring and bland.

- I didn't say that!

Oh, look, it's your
boyfriend, Brad,

from accounting.

- Whoa!
- Sorry!

[Telephone ringing]

[Sighing]

[Staff talking, indistinctly]

- It's like a
jungle in here.

I can't understand how
you get anything done.

- It's fun
and creative!

- It's loud.

It's nice and quiet up in
accounting. I'm just saying.

- I think it's better
for the company

If I stay as far away from
the books as possible.

- You're good with numbers.
- Me?

Chequing account,
savings account, a 401K.

That's as complex
as I can get,

which is why I'm
dating an accountant.

[Chuckling]

- You got your
errands done or...

- I did! Three days
until vacation.

You know what?
I could use a coffee.

- Yeah. Ah, I wish
I could come with you.

Just don't get so
enamoured with Scottsdale

that you don't come home.

There's gonna be a
wonderful birthday surprise

waiting for you.

I brought your mail.
- Ah, thanks.

- Wow! This one's
from South Africa!

- Yeah, it's Ukuthula,

the wildlife reserve
my Great-Uncle Irving owns.

- Huh!
- I went there as a kid.

Ah, that's where I fell
in love with elephants.

Oh no...

- What?

- Uncle Irv passed away.

[Brad sighing]

- I'm sorry.

- He was always so nice
to me as a kid.

I haven't seen him in years.

I think the last time I heard
from him was when my dad passed.

But it says they've been
trying to find me

for a couple months.

- Why?

- Apparently he left a portion
of his estate to me.

But I have to be present at the
reading of the will to claim it.

- Well, that's crazy. You--you
can't go to South Africa.

- Well, of course I can't
go to South Africa.

[Hog squealing]

[Trumpeting]

[Zebras yipping]

[Wildebeest snorting]

[Ally and Lwazi
talking, indistinct]

- [Ally]: Oh, look, Tom's back.
Where were you?

- I just replaced
a dozen fence posts.

- Well, that's a dozen less
that needs replacing.

We shall deem that
as progress.

- Lwazi, we're playing
a dangerous game here.

The entire fence
needs to be replaced.

- Well, not the entire fence,
if you just did 12 posts.

- Ally, you're not helping.

- I wasn't trying to.

- Don't you have some guests
to take on a safari tour?

- Not for another hour.

Besides, if I want them to
see animals in the wild,

I could just bring
them up here

and let them watch
the two of you!

- Oh ho!
Yeah! Cute!

We're not done
talking about this.

Did you call the lawyers again?

- Yes, I did.
- And what did they say?

- That until they settle the
details of Irving's estate,

we must tighten our belts.

- They've been saying
that for months.

Our belts are so tight,
we can't even breathe.

- Perhaps we are
eating too much.

[Giggling]

- If only the lawyers
would listen to me,

then I could fix this.

- Oh, here we go.
- What?

- You're doing
that thing again

where you think that you can
fix everything by yourself.

- I just fixed a dozen
fence posts by myself.

- And we appreciate
your passion for Ukuthula.

- Don't act like you don't get
passionate about this place too.

No, it's just more subtle.

Your eyebrow arches up really
high, and it does that thi--

What, you're not coming?

- Oh no! No, you like
doing things by yourself.

[Ally giggling]

You are not gonna
win this round.

[Birds chirping]

- All right, are you
just humouring me

because of the job
offer in the States?

Lwazi, I told you
I'm not taking it.

- But if you do,

you will leave with
our hearty felicitations

and best wishes for
continued success.

- Yes, and thank you
for that, but--

What is Artie
Warrington doing here?

- On a tour.

- A tour? Wh-why?

- Oh, well, the
lawyers arranged it.

- Lwazi, his family
owns tacky resorts.

These are tourist traps

that are about as far away
from authentic as one can get.

The lawyers aren't thinking
of selling to him, are they?

- Well, it's
not up to us.

Ah!

[Sighing]

- Good night.

- I can't believe
you're going to Africa.

- To be honest with you,
neither can I.

- You don't even know
what your uncle left you!

- His attorney said that it
was something significant,

but he couldn't say more until
after the reading of the will.

- Huh!
- Hi!

- Thank you.

Significant?
What does that mean?

- I don't know.

You know, the only
thing I could think of,

he had this collection of
antique safari whistles

that I used to play with.

Maybe it's that.

- You're going all the way
to Africa for whistles.

- What, is that crazy?
Am I crazy?

[Chuckling]

- Definitely.

[Giggling]

- God, I just feel like I...
feel like I have to do this.

- OK!

- I owe it to
Uncle Irv to be there.

[Sighing]

- Stay safe.

- Oh, you know me, Brad.

I keep my feet firmly
planted on the ground.

[Airplane rattling]

- [Ally]: So, who are
we picking up again?

- It's Irving's great
niece from Chicago.

She's coming in for
the reading of the will.

All Lwazi really said
was that she's a VIP

and we should be nice.

- Oh, and she
still sent you?

- I am a joy to
be around always.

- Mm-hmm. Wait.

You don't think
she's the new owner, do you?

- What? No.

- Who else? I didn't think
he had any family.

- Well, that's my point.

I mean, Irv's never
mentioned her,

and she's never
even visited.

- True, but if she's coming in
for the reading of the will...

- Irving would never
leave this place

to somebody who didn't love it
as much as he did.

Somebody who belonged here.

- What makes you think
she doesn't belong here?

- Oh, just a hunch.

- [Kira]: Ooh!

Hi!

- Hi there!

You must be Kira.

- Hi!

- I'm Tom Anderson,
head ranger for Ukuthula.

- Ally Botsford,
also a ranger.

- It is so nice to meet you!
Oh, it's hot here!

- Yeah. How was your flight in?

- I have never been so
happy to be on the ground

in my whole
entire life.

- Not a big fan
of small planes?

- Are my fingernail marks

in the back of the
pilot's arm a giveaway?

Is there no other
way to get here?

- We used to offer
elephant rides from Jo-Burg,

but it wasn't cost-effective.

- Oh, really?

- [Chuckling]: No!

We'd never exploit
the animals in such a way--

- He was joking.
He's just not very funny.

- Oh.

- Why don't we get
you to the lodge?

- Great.- OK.

- That'd be great.

You know, I would
just love

to stop and
freshen up first.

Where--where
is the airport?

- Yeah, we had to
get rid of that, too,

when we nixed
the elephant rides.

- Kira, why don't you just get
in that truck right over there

and we'll grab
your luggage, OK?

- OK.- OK.

- Told you she
didn't belong here.

- I thought you
were gonna be nice!

- It was me being nice.

You think Irv's gonna
leave the reserve

to someone like this?

[Sighing]

[Birds chirping]

[Talking indistinctly]

- Thank you!

- Reception's
just up the path.

- OK!

[Sighing]

Wow!

- Kira! Welcome!

[Lwazi laughing]

I'm Lwazi.
- Hi!

- Look at you! You are grown
into a beautiful woman.

And you probably don't
even remember me.

- Of course I remember you!
- Oh!

- You used to sneak me extra
cookies in the dining room.

- Shhh! Don't
tell these two.

They'll want me to sneak
them extra cookies!

[Both laughing]

You must be thirsty.

Everyone, please come in.
We have fresh iced tea.

- I can't. I have my last
group of the day to guide.

And by group, I mean
Mr. and Mrs. Bagwell.

- Thank you so much
for the lift.

- Of course!
My pleasure.

I'll see you back
at the rangers office?

- Yes, ma'am.- OK.

- Here, I'll take those.

- Oh no, no!
It's OK. I got it.

Why don't you go inside?

Wouldn't want you
to get overheated.

- Oh, I'll be fine.

Really, I can take
my own luggage.

- I'm sure you can.

But we check
for spiders

before we
bring the bags in.

- Oh. Spiders?

- Yeah, big ones!

Oh, they're all over
the path, too, so...

- Uh...

[Chuckling]

[Sighing]

- He was a good man.

- Yeah, I have very,
very fond memories.

I just wish I had
gotten to know him better.

Did you know him well?

- Oh yeah! Been here
for almost 10 years.

He was quite
the character.

[Chuckling]

He loved this place.

- I remember.

So, who owns it now?

- We don't know.

We've been dealing with lawyers
ever since he passed.

They're still trying
to sort it out.

- Must make managing things
here a little challenging.

- It does. But the end result
is always worth it.

- Thank you.

Even with the spiders?

- Even with the spiders.

- Well, why don't we get
you settled in your room?

Tonight we'll have
dinner in the boma,

then tomorrow morning,
we'll meet with the lawyer.

- That sounds great.
Thank you.

- Jason will show
you to your room.

- Great!

- See you later.

- Bye!

[Birds whooping and squawking]

[Sighing]

Wow!

Thank you so much.

- It's a pleasure.

[Birds chirping]

[Gasping]

- Ah! Oh!

[Whimpering]

[Chuckling]

OK. There's a giraffe
in my room.

[♪ Drums beating
on sound system ♪]

- Hey, Kira!

So? Did you get out to
explore the grounds much?

- Uh, not really,

but the grounds kind of
came in to explore me.

- OK. How do you mean?

- There was a giraffe.

[Laughing]

- Right. No, no, no.
They do that.

But rest assured,
they're very friendly.

- Oh, I'm sure they are,

but I just really didn't
expect one to be inmy room.

- Beautiful, though, huh?
- So beautiful.

- It's magical to see them
roaming free on the Savanna.

Tell you what,
I'll take you out tomorrow,

get you to
experience more.

- I'd love that.

[Chuckling]

You know, I wanted
to ask you...

It seems very quiet, like there
aren't a lot of guests.

Is that normal
this time of year?

- Well, admittedly,
we're lighter than usual.

You see, we rely on European
tourists for the most part,

and the euro's
really low right now,

so it's a lot harder
for them to travel.

- Oh, Kira, please feel free to
ignore everything this man says.

I usually do.

- Hey!

- Good to know!

[Ally and Kira laughing]

- Wonderful!
Everyone is here!

Kira, you haven't met S'bu.

He manages the food and beverage
program here at Ukuthula.

- Ah, so I guess I better
stay on your good side

if I wanna eat, right?

- Tom has not been

on my good side for years,

but I still feed him.

[Women laughing]

- OK, it's
like that?

What is it,
"pick on Tom" night?

- Oh, it's always
"pick on Tom" night.

It's better than charades.

- For you.

- Everyone, I'm reminded of
an old African proverb.

You should return
to old watering holes

for more than water.

Friends and dreams
are there to meet you.

- Ah!

- Cheers!

- [Ally, Tom and Kira]:
Cheers!

[Bird whooping
and crickets chirping]

- Ugh! Everything
was so good.

I don't think I'll be
hungry again for a week.

- Wait till you see the Savanna
breakfast tomorrow morning.

I guarantee it'll
spark your appetite.

- Hopefully Uncle Irv
left me a wheelbarrow

so you guys will have
something to haul me off in

after I gain 100 pounds.

- That's why it's
called a vacation.

Good night, Kira.

- Good night.

- Good night!

[Tom chuckling]

- That was such
a good dinner.

- I guess we did well.
That's just my opinion.

[Zebras yipping]

- Thank you.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

Oh wow!
This is just...

[Grunting]

...really just incredible.

- Hmm!

- Do you--do you do this
for all of your guests?

- This is what Irving wanted
for the reading of his will.

Kira, this is Glen Wood,
one of Ukuthula's lawyers.

- Ms. Slater, I believe
we spoke on the phone.

- Yeah, it's so nice
to meet you.

- Yes, and you know
Tom and Ally.

- Absolutely. Hi.
- Hi.

- Hi. Hi.

OK, well,
should we start?

- Certainly, please!

- Great!- Yeah!

- Where should I sit?

- Ms. Slater, would take
the head of the table?

- Really?- Yeah!

- Um, OK!
Thank you.

[Grunting]

- OK!

Well, we have a number
of items to get through...

[Sighing]

...some personal treasures

that Irving has
left to specific people,

like his coin collection and
his antique safari whistles.

- Hmm!

- But I think,
first of all,

I must talk about the
proverbial elephant in the room.

He wanted Ukuthula
to be cared for

the way he did
throughout his life.

And he felt that the only way
that this could truly happen

was for it to
stay in the family.

So he's granted full
ownership of the reserve

to his nearest living relative,

Kira Slater.

- I'm sorry, what?

- A toast.

- Oh yes!
- To Kira.

- [Glen]: Kira.
- To Kira.

- I really should've gone
to Scottsdale.

[Glen chuckling]

Huh!

[Snorting]

[Exhaling sharply]

So, he left me this?
All this?

- Uh, I know this
is a surprise.

- What?
Oh no, no, no.

A surprise is like balloons
and people with noisemakers.

A surprise is not
a wildlife reserve in Africa!

I mean, are you sure he
didn't leave anything else,

you know, like, I don't know,
maybe just the Serengeti

or, you know,
The Sphinx, maybe?

'Cause, really,
I came here,

I thought I was
expecting whistles.

- You came all the way
to Africa for whistles?

- Actually, the whistles
were left to Tom.

Ms. Slater, we anticipated
that this might be,

shall I say, not in
your area of expertise.

- Yeah, it's--it's way out.

- Yeah, well, we understand that
this is a big responsibility.

But should you wish
to sell, then...

- What is--what is this?

- It's an offer
to buy it.

- Wait, to buy it?

- Who is this offer from?

- It's from a very reputable,
family-owned company.

- It's not Artie Warrington,
is it?

- Wait, who?
Who--who's that?

- Warrington group is
a successful resort company.

- They cater to the lowest
common denominator.

- Right. All of their
properties are the same.

They have no personality.
I mean, Ukuthula's special.

- Perhaps we
should all sit

and enjoy our breakfast

and talk about this calmly.

I'm sure it will be fine.

- Not if Ukuthula's sold
to Artie Warrington.

- Kira, you don't
have to do this.

I mean, surely
there's somebody else

who's willing to
buy Ukuthula.

All right, I'll find
somebody else to buy.

- I'm afraid there's not.
This is the only offer.

- Well, then, she'll just
have to keep it!

- Keep it?
- Yeah.

- Keep it? I...

[Laughing]

Keep it? That's really funny,
'cause you know what?

I actually rent my apartment,
and I lease my car.

I don't own anything.
I can't...

I can't own an
African reserve.

- Would you like me
to initiate the sale?

- [Lwazi]: Don't worry.
Everything will be all right.

[Sighing]

[Sighing]

- I can't believe they're gonna
sell Ukuthula to Warrington.

- I'm surprised it
matters to you.

- Ally! It's me!
I love this place.

- OK, well, then
why are you still

considering that job
in the States?

- I'm not.

- You haven't
told them no.

- Well, they gave me
a few weeks to decide.

I figured with all the upheaval
around here, it would--

- You thought it would
be good to have options.

- Yeah, which we
seem to be out of.

We need to find
somebody fast

who appreciates Ukuthula
for what it already is.

- I agree, but I'm not
the one who needs convincing.

- The lawyers will
listen to me.

- The lawyers don't own
Ukuthula, Tom. Kira does.

- Well, then we need to find a
way to convince her not to sell.

I think I can do that.

- Unless you decide that job
in the States is a better idea.

- Whether I stay or not,

I'm not gonna let
Ukuthula go to Warrington.

- OK. Then the question is how
do you make Kira want that too?

[Snapping fingers]

- I make her fall in love.

Yeah, with the reserve.

Call it a charm
offensive, huh?

[Laughing]

- Oh! Wouldn't that
require you to be charming?

[Scoffing]

[Sighing]

[Birds chirping]

- [Brad]:
He left you everything?

- Yes! I mean, this--this
whole thing is just crazy!

- Look, the good news is

that the lawyers
have lined up a buyer,

so all you have to do
is hand over the keys.

- Yeah. Yeah, you're right.
I guess so.

- What do you mean,
you guess so?

- Well, it's just
one of the guys here

didn't exactly have the nicest
things to say about the buyer.

- That's not your problem.

- No, I know, but I still
don't want anything bad

to happen to it.

I mean, it's--it's
beautiful here!

- Did you at least look
at the offer?

- I did. They actually want me
to meet with the buyer tomorrow.

I'm sorry. I'm just in
a little shock right now.

- Scan it and email it to me.

I'll let you know
if it makes any sense.

- OK, thank you, Brad.

- The sooner you get
rid of this,

the sooner you can come home
to your fantastic surprise.

- What, did you buy me
the Lincoln Park Zoo?

- Rats! How did you guess?

[Laughing]

Bye!

- Bye.

- Hmm!

Yet another thing you think
you can fix by yourself.

Why don't you
call a mechanic?

- 'Cause I don't need a
mechanic, thank you very...

What are you...

[Clanging]

- Try it now.

- OK.

[Engine starting]

- Oh, it works!
I fixed it!

- Oh, you fixed it?

- I did fix it.

See, it wasn't working when
I came over here, and now it is.

So cause and effect.

- That's not science.
That's not how it works.

- Oh, hey, Kira!
Good, uh...

It's still morning.
Good morning.

- So sorry I slept so late.
I just...

Man, I'm so jetlagged!

- Oh, that's OK.
It happens to best of us.

Right, Tom? Now's your
chance to be charming.

- Yeah! Jetlag,
it's the worst.

- Yeah.

- That was great.

So, Kira, uh, what's on
the agenda for today?

- Well, the lawyers
want me to meet

with Artie Warrington
this afternoon.

I was just hoping there's
some way to get there

that doesn't involve a plane.

- We can arrange for
transportation for you.

It should take you
about an hour to get in.

- OK, thanks!

- Yeah, no problem.

Hey, are you hungry?

- To be honest with you,
I am famished!

- OK, perfect,
because Tom actually has

a really nice lunch
planned for you two.

- You do?

- I do.- Yeah!

He was gonna run to the
kitchen and grab some supplies

and take you to the most scenic
part of the reserve, Rock Lodge.

- Rock Lodge! Seriously,
you don't wanna miss it.

It is beautiful.

- That--that sounds great!

OK, I'll just
grab a hat. Cool!

- See you back here
in, like, 10?

- Perfect.
- OK.

- Awesome!

What was that?

- Hey!

[Chuckling]

Just remember
to be charming.

[Yipping]

- Whoo!

[Laughing]

Ah!

- Sorry about that.

The roads here
are pretty bumpy.

- That's OK.

You obviously haven't driven
on a Chicago street lately.

[Chuckling]

[Sighing]

- No, I haven't.

[Zebras yipping]

[Growling]

[Chattering]

- Why are we stopping here?

- You'll see!

Welcome to Rock Lodge!

- Wow!

Ah, this is just...

Just wow!

I'm sorry. I know I keep
saying that a lot, but...

- That's OK.
Pretty wow-worthy.

- Wow!

[Animal cooing]

- So, listen,

I wanted to talk to you
about selling the reserve.

- OK.

- I was wondering if,
you know, maybe you wouldn't!

- Wouldn't sell it?

- Yeah.

- And what would I do
with it? Keep it?

- [Chuckling]:
Why not?

- Because I...

[Chuckling]

I'm--I'm a web designer

with a--with a job and life
and a boyfriend in Chicago.

I can't run Ukuthula.

- Right, but you
don't have to.

Lwazi and I can take
care of the day-to-day.

- Yeah, but there's
everything else!

I mean, it needs a
new marketing campaign,

the website needs
a total overhaul,

there's everything
that needs to be fixed

you've been talking about,

and I don't have
the money for that.

Unless you want me
to start up

the elephant rides from
the airport again.

- I know it
would be a risk.

- No, it would
be insanity!

[Chuckling]

My uncle was the
risk-taker, not me.

- Everybody needs a little bit
of adventure in their lives.

- No, everyone needs
a little stability.

I don't need to be worried
about whether or not

I have enough money for,
you know, giraffe chow.

- Giraffes eat leaves!
Plenty of leaves!

- See, I didn't know!
I don't know what giraffes eat!

- But if you put a bit
of time in, I'll teach you.

- I know Ukuthula's
important to you.

And this is...

I mean, this is my
uncle's life's work,

so it makes it
incredibly hard, but...

[Sighing]

Keeping it is just not
a realistic option.

I think we should probably
just go back to the lodge.

[Monkeys screaming
and birds squawking]

[Sighing]

- I didn't mean to--

- It's OK. Let's
just go back.

[Engine clicking]

OK, you've gotta
be kidding me.

- I'll just radio back to base
and have someone come get us.

Tom to base.
Come in, base.

[Static]

Tom to base.
Come in, base.

Mountains around here sometimes
interfere with the signal.

Tom to base.
Come in, base.

[Static]

- And I'm--I'm assuming that
walking back isn't an option

because of the
hungry animals?

- There's no need to panic.
We'll follow procedures.

It's only a matter of time

before they realize
we're missing

and send someone
to come and get us.

- Oh, OK. And how--how
long will that be?

- A few hours, hopefully.

- All right!
OK, just a few hours.

So, what should we do
in the meantime?

[Sighing]

- Wanna play
a game of I Spy?

- Maybe we should just
go back up there.

Yeah, I'm gonna go back up.

[Sighing]

[Birds chirping]

- So, you're a
website designer?

- I'm not giving
you a cookie.

- I don't want
a cookie.

- Yeah, you do.

They are really delicious.

- I was just
making conversation!

- Yes, I'm a web designer.

- Well, that's
interesting.

Do you like your job,
designing all these websites?

- I do, but I make marketing
websites for big corporations.

- Hmm...

- And it's just
not very exciting.

I wanna find my own thing

and just find that thing
that I'm passionate about.

- I think we're all
trying to find that.

- I'm pretty sure
you found yours.

- [Sighing]: Yeah.

Maybe I get a little
too passionate sometimes.

- So, how did you
end up here from...

Where you from again?

- Kansas.

I grew up on a farm,
so it's logical.

I've always
loved animals.

- Not a lot of
lions on a farm.

- No, but those cows, let me
tell you, can be pretty vicious.

[Laughing]

I studied zoology
and got lucky.

They recruited me to
come straight out here.

So, now I get to
take care of real lions

and elephants
and giraffes.

- Oh, elephants!
Oh, the elephants.

You know, I only came here a
couple times when I was a kid,

but, man, the
elephants just...

There was this one, I...

What was her name?
I think it was Kimba.

- Yeah. Circus rescue?
Yeah, she's still here.

- No way! Really?

- Yes! I can take you out
to see her if you like.

- I--I--

- On--on one condition.

- And what's that?

- It involves cookies.

[Sighing]

[Cookie tin tinkling]

- Thank you.

[Tom chortling]

- I said have acookie.

- [On radio]:
Miss Lwazi to Ally.

- Hey, this is Ally!

- Have you seen Tom?

- Uh, no, not since
he and Kira went to lunch.

They're not back yet?

- I haven't seen them.

- OK, well, they were heading
to Rock Lodge.

I know the reception
isn't great up there.

- Why was he taking her there?

- I don't know.
It's scenic?

I am heading back
with the Harrises now.

I'll drive up there and just
make sure everything's OK.

[Growling]

- Irving was a
great man, truly.

Ah, he was full of
life and energy.

- Hmm...

- But understandably, as his
health started to fail,

he simply couldn't make

the necessary investments
in Ukuthula.

So that alone has made my
job a lot more difficult.

- Sorry to hear that.

You know, when I was a kid,
this place was...

- How old were you?

- Uh, the first time?
- Yeah.

- The first time,
I was maybe 5 or 6.

- Hmm!

- The last time,
I was 14 or so.

He just always made
this place seem so magical.

- Well, it is.

How come you didn't
come back any sooner?

- My mom passed away,

and my dad and I
moved around a lot.

- I'm sorry.

- Thanks.

Yeah, just after moving
from place to place so much,

it kind of felt nice to
just stay still, you know?

- Ah, there's nothing
wrong with that.

- Yeah.

- Although, if you
had stayed still,

you probably wouldn't be seeing
a sunset quite like this.

- I just...

[Sighing]

It's just...
I just...

[Chuckling]

- You can say "wow."

- Thank you.

Wow!

- Yeah, wow!

So, you have a
boyfriend in Chicago?

- I do!

Yeah, I do.
His name's Brad.

He's--he's great.

- Great, great.

- Yeah. And you...

- [Ally]: Hello?
- You... Ally!

- Took you long enough to
figure out we were missing!

- Missing?- Yeah!

- You're so dramatic.

You'd think he got
carried off by gorillas.

- I could've been.
- Mm-hmm.

- Actually, would
you guys mind

if we stayed and watched
the rest of the sunset?

- No.

[Elephant trumpeting]

[Sighing]

[Bird whooping]

- Wow, it's definitely
not subtle.

- Yeah, Warrington
doesn't exactly do subtle.

- Listen, thank you
for driving me

all the way into
Johannesburg,

especially since it's
to meet with the guy

who wants to
buy the reserve.

- Hey, today,
I'm just your driver,

your no-pressure driver.

- Well, thank you.

- Kira!

- Yeah?

- Just because
the water's calm

doesn't mean there
are no crocodiles.

It's an African proverb.

[Chuckling]

- Did you get
that from Lwazi?

- No! It's an original!

[Chuckling]

Lwazi makes hers up
to win arguments.

Just be careful.

- OK.

- Ms. Slater! Welcome to
the Warrington Johannesburg!

I'm Artie Warrington.

- Hi! It's Kira.

- What can I get
you to drink?

- You know, an iced tea
would be great.

- Two iced teas. You enjoying
your visit to South Africa?

- Uh, yes.

It's--it's beautiful here.

- Thanks, we're very proud
of it. Please, join me.

- Um...

- So, I wanna know
more about you.

What was it like finding out
Irving left Ukuthula to you?

- Uh, shock and
total disbelief

and, you know, just
a little bit of panic.

- Yeah, I can imagine.
Did you know Irving well?

- Um, not really.

It--it had
actually been years

since I had seen him
or spoken to him.

- Irving was a great man.

Didn't have much of
a head for business.

- Madam.
- Years ago, when my father...

- Thank you.

- ...ran Warrington Resorts,

he tried to step to help.

I did as well,
but Irving was proud.

- Help how?

- To buy the place.

To invest the kind of
capital it needed to thrive.

We have the
resources to do that.

So, I'm presuming
you've reviewed my offer.

- Oh yes, of course.

I just wanna make sure

that it's--it's in
Ukuthula's best interest,

you know, that it's
not just another hotel.

- Kira, I know my family
has this reputation

of putting the bottom line
above everything else,

but I understand what
makes Ukuthula special,

and I wanna keep
it that way.

- That's great.

I'm sure everything
will be fine,

but I do have to go over
the offer with the lawyers

and everyone back
at the reserve.

- Of course.
I totally understand.

Take all the time you need.

- Great!

- Hey!

- Hey!

So? How'd it go?

- The waters were...
very calm.

- Listen, I--I really didn't
mean to overstep if I did,

or--or to try to
colour your opinion.

- Oh, of course you did.

[Chuckling]

It's OK, though.
I appreciate it.

Ugh! I just wish there was
something more I could do.

- Do you mind if
we take a detour

on the way back
to the reserve?

- Are you gonna strand us out
in the middle of nowhere again?

'Cause I didn't
bring any cookies.

[Chuckling]

[Children shouting
and laughing]

[Kira giggling]

The village,
it's--it's so different now!

- This place is an important
part of Ukuthula too, you know.

- Really?

- Yeah.

A lot of our
staff lives here.

We, uh, do our best to
try to help support them,

but it's tough now
for any of the villages

that aren't partnered
with reserves.

- Partnered how?

- Well, it's common nowadays

for a village to actually
own part of a reserve.

They get invested in protecting
the land and the animals.

It swells into a sense of
pride for the entire village.

- That's incredible!

- It also opens the door

to government assistance
and tax breaks.

- Wow! Amazing.

[♪ Children singing
in distance ♪]

Where's that beautiful
singing coming from?

- The school
Uncle Irv built.

- Really?

- He knew those children
were the future for Ukuthula.

[♪ Children singing
in foreign language ♪]

[♪ Singing continues ]

[Singing stops]

[Sighing]

[Birds chirping]

- OK, so, I had some time
to look at the offer

from a numbers perspective,

and I think it's pretty solid.

- And that's what
the lawyers think too.

- Did you have a chance
to go through it?

- I read most of it.
I've just been so busy.

We went to this Zulu village
yesterday. It was amazing.

And we saw these
beautiful children

from the school
my uncle built.

- That's nice.

- Then there was the website.
- What website?

- Ukuthula's website.
I'm redesigning it.

- You said you weren't gonna
work while you were there.

- Yeah, I know,
but inspiration struck,

and I just had to go with it.

- Ukuthula inspired you?

- Brad, it is just
incredible here.

- [Tom]: Kira!

- Oh! Sorry! Coming!

I gotta go 'cause we're
about to go see elephants.

I'll talk to you later. Bye.

- Bye.

[Trumpeting]

- Ah, they are just...

[Kira giggling]

This is just...

- Back to "wow" again?

- Uh, no, "wow" doesn't
even cover it.

Wait, which one is Kimba?

- Uh, don't see her yet.

See, sometimes she stays back
with the rest of the herd.

She's the matriarch now.

- Kimba's the matriarch?

- Yeah! You sound surprised.

- When I was here,

she was still being
socialized into the herd.

I actually fed
her one time.

- No way!- Yeah!

I was this tiny
10-year-old,

and, I mean, she
blocked out the sun.

And, yep, I marched
right up to her,

and she was just so gentle.

I wonder if
she'd remember me.

- Well, you know, they say
an elephant never forgets.

[Trumpeting]

It's hard to believe
that only 100 years ago,

there were 3 million
elephants roaming Africa.

Now, there's fewer
than half a million left.

Kimba's calf could
live to be 70

because she was lucky
enough to be born

at a place like Ukuthula.

That's why this place
is so important,

I mean, not just for
Kimba and her family,

but for all of
the animals.

I think everyone
should see this.

- Yeah, hopefully
everyone will.

- A little too
passionate again, huh?

- No.

Never.

- Good afternoon, you two!

- Oh, hi, Ally!

- I'm your ranger for
this afternoon's drive,

so when you're finished lunch,
we can head out.

- Oh, we can't wait.
We are so excited!

Aren't we, John?

- Yeah, we'd be more excited
if we get to see lions today.

- You might be in luck!

I heard from one
of the other rangers,

and they've spotted them.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm! Big ones.

- How big?

- With full manes
and big teeth.

Don't get me started
on the teeth.

- I'll get the camera.

[Laughing]

- Guys always love lions!

Big TVs, sports, lions.
That's all you need.

- You're right, I think.

[Both laughing]

- Hey! How were
the elephants?

- Oh, I wanna
take one home!

- Well, that is
generally frowned upon.

- I figured. Plus they probably
wouldn't fit in my carry-on.

- No. I have an idea!

Why don't you come out
with us on our game drive?

- Yeah!

- Oh, I would love that!

But is that OK
with Mrs. Bagwell?

- Oh, please call
me Evelyn.

Of course!
The more the merrier!

- Great! Tom?

- Oh, I have some
work to finish up,

so probably shouldn't.

- Oh, you wouldn't
wanna come anyways.

We're just going
to see the lions.

- Do not leave without me.

[Laughing]

- [Ally]:
See what I mean? Lions.

[Ally laughing]

[Squeaking]

[Whimpering]

Ah! Whoo! OK!

Those are African wild dogs.

They're also called
painted wolves

because of the colouring
of their coats.

- Wow, they are
so beautiful!

And their ears are so round!
- I know!

- There are less than 4,000
of these left on the continent.

- Yeah.- Wow!

- Oh, you hear
that little squeaking noise?

That's their bark.

- [Kira]: Really?
- Yeah.

All right,
I know they're adorable,

but what do you say
we go find those lions?

- Yep!
- Yeah, let's do that.

- Yeah? OK!

Bye, puppies!

[Lion roaring]

- Hey! Over there!
It's a lion!

- There's more
over there too.

[Growling]

Oh, they're just so magnificent,
aren't they?

[Lion roaring]

- Ah!

- You sure it's OK

that we're this
close to them?

- Oh, of course! Yeah.

No, they're really chill.

They tend to hunt at night.

So we're fine.

Just stay in the vehicle,

and don't make any loud noises
or sudden movements, OK?

- There's nothing to
worry about, folks, OK?

We're not even on
their food chain.

[Growling]

- It's incredible!

- Never gets old.
- No.

- There's nothing like
seeing them in real life.

- Oh yeah.
That's the life!

- Oh, that's you on
a Saturday afternoon, John.

- Hey, uh, are
they endangered?

- Well, they're
certainly at risk.

Unfortunately, the lion
population here in Africa

has fallen by almost half
since the '90s.

- [Evelyn]:
Almost half?

- Indeed.

- Wow, that's a lot!

- [Kira]:
Look at his mane!

- [Ally]: Yeah!
Pretty crazy, isn't it?

- They're just enormous!
- I know.

[Growling]

- Thank you.

- Tom, those lions were
a great sight! Incredible!

- You know their canines
can grow up to 4 inches?

Think about that.
That's 8 inches in total.

[Laughing]

- A walking
Wikipedia page.

- I really should get him
a T-shirt that says that.

[Both laughing]

- It's good being so
invested in something.

- Yeah, I just wish
he'd stop thinking

he could do
everything by himself.

It's why I think the job in the
States might be good for him.

- What job?

- Oh, he got an offer

to head up a wildlife
conservation group.

They're based out
of New York, so...

- Really?- Yeah.

- Is he gonna take it?

- He says he's not.

I can't see him ever
leaving Ukuthula, but...

- But if Warrington
buys it...

- Sorry. I really didn't
mean to bring that up.

- It's OK.

Listen, I know selling
the reserve is a big deal.

- I understand. Listen,
I'm not going anywhere.

They couldn't pry
me off this land.

- You wouldn't
go with Tom?

- No. No, why would I?

- Well, I just thought
since you guys are...

- Hmm?

- Well, you know, because
you and he are... You're...

- Oh no.
No, no, no!

No, Tom is my brother.
Well, my stepbrother, actually.

His mom married my dad
when we were really little.

- Oh!

[Both laughing]

I am so sorry!

- It's OK!

- It's so embarrassing!
I'm sorry.

- What about you?
Do you have a boyfriend?

- I do! Yeah, Brad.

He's just... He's great.

He's dependable,
and he's just great.

- That's great!

- Yeah.

- Should we head in?

- Yeah!
- OK!

[Crickets chirping]

- Hey!

- Hey!

- That's not work, is it?

- Sort of.

- Oh, sorry,
I should've asked.

Do you want one?

- Cheers!

- Great minds!

[Chuckling]

May I?

- Of course!

- So, what you working on?

- Well, I'm just
kind of playing around

with the
Ukuthula website.

- Can I see?

- I'll show you if you
just promise to keep in mind

that this is
a work in progress.

- Those zebras I was
telling you about?

Honestly, they use the
Internet more than I do.

[Chuckling]

- Fine!

[Elephants trumpeting]

Here you go.

So, see, it would
have reservations,

and then people could also
browse the tours and excursions

and book things
ahead of time.

And I was thinking

that if you set up cameras
around the reserve,

people could just
look at the lion cam

or the elephant cam or...

- It's hard to believe
that only 100 years ago,

there were over 3 million
elephants roaming Africa.

And now there's fewer
than half a million left.

[Chuckling]

- Kira, I'm blown away.
This is brilliant!

You did all of this
in a couple of days?

- Yeah, well, it's not actually
hooked up to anything yet,

but I was hoping

that maybe Artie Warrington
would let me consult, you know?

I mean, I could run
the site from Chicago.

- Of course!

[Chuckling]

I'm speechless.

Best leave you to it.

- Hey, Tom...

Good night.

- Good night, Kira.

[Lion roaring]

- Good evening, Kira.
I'm leaving soon.

But I wanted
to let you know

that a staff member
is on standby

to get you whatever
you may need tonight.

- Oh, Lwazi, you don't
have to keep doing that.

- Doing what?

- Treating me
like royalty.

Really, I have a feeling
it has something to do

with the sale of
the reserve.

- We simply want
you to experience

everything Ukuthula
has to offer.

- And I appreciate it
so much, but...

But you know I can't
keep it, right?

I'd be so lost here.

- There's a proverb.

"To get lost is
to learn the way."

- You know, Tom thinks that
you just make these up

to win arguments.

- And it works
every time!

[Both laughing]

Ah!

- Oh, you and him and, really,
everyone that works here,

it's--it's like
one big family.

- Oh yes, it is!

You know, when I came here,
I was very young.

I was a housekeeper!

And that's not
what I had planned!

- What did you
want to be?

- A singer!

- Wait, I remember
you used to sing

to get me to go to bed.

Wait, what--what
was the song?

- Um... Oh!

♪ Sleep, pretty baby

♪ Please, sleep,
precious princess ♪

♪ You are the love of my life

♪ My special angel

♪ Sweet dreams

- Yeah.

Ah, you have
a pretty voice.

- Thank you.

You know, if I
had been a singer,

I may not have
met my husband

or had my children
or my grandchildren.

I wouldn't have this
family I have here.

So no regrets.

And my point is

sometimes the universe
shows us the way,

even though we don't
know we're looking.

- Another proverb?

[Both chuckling]

- Well, I just
made up that one.

[Both laughing]

Ah! Well,
good night, Kira.

- Oh, Lwazi.

- Oh!
- Good night.

- Oh!

- Thank you.

- Love you.

- You too.

[Birds chirping]

[Snorting]

I think I might melt my phone
from all the photos I'm taking.

[Both laughing]

[Cell chiming]

- Wait, is it
your birthday?

- No, it's the day
after tomorrow.

This is my friend
Vicky from work.

She likes to stretch
birthdays out into an event

and tweet about it
to the entire world.

- OK, well, we need
to have a party.

- We don't need to
have a party, no.

- Why not?

- Because I don't want you
to go through the trouble,

and I'm not 6.

- Well, excuse you!
Everybody needs to have a party.

I promise you, I will
keep it very dignified.

What colour blindfolds
would you like

for Pin the Tail
on the Donkey?

[Both laughing]

- There you are!
- Hey!

- Come on,
you have to see this.

- What is it?

- Just come on!

- OK!

[Trumpeting]

[Gasping]

- That one right there,

that's Kimba
and her calf.

- Kimba's baby!

[Kira giggling]

- Hey, Kira!

- What?

[Giggling]

- And...

[Camera clicking]

Perfect!

[Elephant trumpeting]

- Ah!

I just... Wow!

[Both chuckling]

Thank you.

[Elephant trumpeting]

Wow!

[Snorting]

Ah! Thank you!

- For what?

- For what? What do
you mean, for what?

For elephants, for, ah,
those baby elephants!

- Ah, Kimba did all
the hard work there.

[Laughing]

- Yeah, she did.
It's true.

Ah, I wouldn't have seen
that if it weren't for you!

I wouldn't have seen
any of this. Just...

Thank you!

- You're welcome.
Kira, I--

- Kira!

- Brad!

- Surprise!

[Chuckling]

- It's so hot here.

Please, please tell me all
the rooms have air-conditioning.

- I just can't believe
you're here!

- Well, it's part of
your birthday surprise!

[Chuckling]

See, I was gonna fly
to Scottsdale, but...

- But you just hopped on
a plane instead to Africa?

- Uh, you did.
Why can't I?

Aren't you happy
to see me?

- Oh, of course!
Yeah, I'm--I'm just...

- Surprised? See,
that's the whole idea.

I also figured you might need
some help with the sale.

- Sale?

- Of the reserve.- Yeah.

- You see, the last
time we spoke,

you seemed a bit,
I don't know, confused

about what to do
with this place.

- I wouldn't say
"confused," really.

Maybe conflicted.

But I know I have no choice.
I mean, I can't keep it.

- Have you
signed the deal?

- Not yet.

- Why not? What are
you waiting for?

- I wanna make sure it's
the right thing to do.

- It is the right
thing to do!

Trust me,
I'm Spreadsheet Guy.

Remember?

- Yeah.

- It's, like, a billion
degrees out here.

How can you stand it?

- You know, I think I've
just gotten used to it.

Brad, this place,
it just...

Ah, it has a way of just
changing your whole way

of looking at things.

You know what, we'll go on
an excursion tomorrow,

and you'll see what
I'm talking about.

You're gonna love
it here. I promise.

[Sighing]

[Zebras yipping]

- You all right,
there, Brad?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

It's just a bit, you know...

It's hot. How much further
do we have to go?

- Uh, about 4 hours.

[Chuckling]

- I mean, is it safe
to walk around like this?

- Yeah.

- This is the middle
of the jungle.

- [Tom]: Yes!
Everything's gonna be fine.

- OK, seriously, how much
further do we have to go?

- See those rocks?

- Yeah.

- That's the end.

- I promise it'll be worth it
when you see this view.

[Brad panting]

- Well, you know,
if nothing else,

I'm getting in all
my steps for the day.

- Oh, you should
be getting extra,

considering you're climbing
a hill in Africa.

- I wonder...

[Watch beeping]

Is there a setting for that?

- Brad! Brad!

Look at this!

I mean...

oh, can you imagine waking up
to this view every day?

[Chuckling]

- We walked all the way
from there.

[Sighing]

Yeah, that's--that's
quite a hike.

[Giggling]

It's beautiful,

but, you know, so is Chicago
on a summer morning.

- Brad!

Oh, look,
there's a giraffe!

- Yeah, we've seen 'em
at the zoo.

- No, it's so much more magical
seeing them roaming free.

- Hey, careful, Kira.

You're starting to
sound like Tom!

[Women laughing]

- [Brad]:
It's beautiful, I guess.

- It's breathtaking.

[Sighing]

[Chattering]

[Birds chirping]

- Hey, you!

- Hey!

Did you have fun today?

- Yeah!

Yeah, I can see
why you like it here.

But I--I gotta admit,

I can't wait to get
back to civilization.

Is that the
Warrington offer?

- It is.

I just was wanting to
look at it one more time.

- It's a good offer.

The lawyers think so too.

- I know they do, Brad,
but I have to make sure

that Ukuthula's
being protected.

The animals and
the people and...

- I get it.

I tell you what, why don't
I look at it one more time?

- OK.

I mean, if that's what
you wanna do, great.

Thanks.

- Of course.

I've got a conference
call with Chicago now,

so I'll look at it
when I'm done?

- Yeah, thank you.

[Birds chirping]

- What are you doing?

- Nothing.- Hmm!

- I'm just...

- Nothing. OK.

Would you just
go talk to her?

- About what?

- Tom, I've seen the way
that you look at her.

The other day your
smile was so big,

I thought your face
was gonna break.

- Well, it was
a happy moment!

- Mm-hmm.

- There was a baby
elephant and...

- Just go talk to her.

[Tom sighing]

- She has a boyfriend, Ally.

And he's here.

- Yeah.

I didn't say challenge
him to a duel

and carry her off
on your shoulder.

[Chuckling]

Just go talk to her!

- Hey!

- Hey!

- Where's Brad?

- Uh, he's in his room,
trying to stay cool.

- Ah, I guess it is pretty warm.
I don't even notice it anymore.

- Yeah, me neither.

- I get the feeling he doesn't
like it here very much.

- It's just different.
He'll be OK.

- Hmm...

I gotta say, it was nice
for him to travel all this way.

I don't think
I have anyone

who'd come halfway
across the world for me.

- Really? There's nobody
special in your life?

- Well, I have the animals.

[Laughing]

But I'm here pretty
much all the time, right,

so it doesn't leave a lot
of room for a social life.

- Hmm... Is that
something you want?

- Yeah!

I mean, I'm not exactly

the white-picket fence
kind of guy, but...

- Yeah. They don't exactly
hold back elephants.

- [Chuckling]: No.

But, you know,
marriage, kids,

happily ever after...

- Yeah?

- Of course I want that.

I just need it
with someone

who loves this place
as much as I do.

- This is just...

[Sighing]

Oof! This has
been a weird week.

- Yeah.

Well, I guess
the question is

has it been weird-good
or weird-bad?

- Definitely weird-good.

I never thought I'd go this
far out of my comfort zone.

- I don't think you're
necessarily outside of it.

I think maybe you've
just made it bigger.

- Maybe.

- I guess, now when
you get back to Chicago,

you can sign up for sky-diving
lessons or something, right?

- No! No way, skydiving!

- Excuse me,
could you tell me

how I might be able to get
to Johannesburg, please?

- Not a problem.
This way.

- Mr. Wilson!
Thanks for your call.

- This is nice.

- "Exceptional" is
the Warrington brand.

So, you're here
representing Kira Slater.

- Uh, yes.
Uh, I'm her financial advisor.

- Oh!

And what's your advice?

- To get this deal closed
as soon as possible.

- That is good to hear.

I was getting concerned that
we weren't moving forward.

- No, no. We're definitely
moving forward.

Kira...

[Sighing]

Kira just wants to add
a few conditions.

- What sort
of conditions?

- Some negotiating points
to do with continuing

to care for the
wildlife and the land.

That sort of thing.

- Look, trust me.

Here at Warrington's,

we're all about preserving
the wilderness experience.

- Well, then...

I guess we're
good to go.

- Come, I'll show
you around.

- Great!

[Sighing]

- Oh! Hi there!
Where have you been?

I was looking for you earlier.

- I was planning a surprise
for your birthday.

- You don't have to do--

- I know, but I did anyway.

Trust me,
you're gonna love it.

- I don't know about you,
but I am starving.

- Me too. Let's go see what
S'bu's got cooked up for dinner.

- All right!

[Chattering]

[Birds chirping]

- Good morning, Kira!
Happy birthday!

- Thank you!

[Both laughing]

- Oh!

- Can I talk to you
for a second?

- Oh, sure!

- Lwazi, I've been thinking

about what you said,

about how the people here
are one big family.

It's so obvious this is
more than just a job.

Ukuthula's like a home.

- It is in many ways.

- So, what if I sell it to you,
and to all the employees?

That way you and
Tom and Ally,

you can make sure
it doesn't change.

- That's a very
kind thought,

but I don't know
how that would work.

Even if everyone
pooled our resources,

we wouldn't have enough.

- I'll sell it to
you for a dollar.

I'll give it to you.

- That is
remarkably generous.

But running a
reserve is expensive.

- That's why I
couldn't do it myself.

That's why, ah, we just need
someone with deep pockets...

someone like
Artie Warrington.

- Hey, there you are!
Happy birthday!

- Thank you!
Have you seen Tom?

- Tom? No. Why?

- It's a long story, but I might
have to take care of something.

Are you gonna be
OK by yourself?

- I thought we were gonna
spend your birthday together.

- We are. We will. It's just
this is really important.

- Not as important as the
birthday surprise I planned.

- I can't wait to
find out what it is.

But I have to take care
of this. I'll be back soon.

- Kira, wait!

I don't know what's
going on with you

since you got here, OK--

- Brad, this about
saving Ukuthula.

- Until last week,

you hadn't thought about
this place in decades.

I mean, what's so
important now?

- I loved this place
when I was a kid.

I loved how
it made me feel,

just free and empowered

and like I was a part of
something bigger than myself.

And all that's come
rushing back and I...

Ah, I just can't let it
go without a fight.

I'll hurry.

[Sighing]

[Snorting and grunting]

[Vehicle approaching]

- Kira! What are
you doing here?

- I wanna find a way
to save Ukuthula.

- You wanna find a way
to save Ukuthula?

I was gonna wish you
a happy birthday,

but we could talk
about your thing.

- I own Ukuthula.

It's incredibly strange for me
to say that, but it's true.

So, it's my
responsibility

to make sure nothing
bad happens to it.

It's what my Uncle Irv
would've wanted.

- So, you wanna keep it?

- I wanna keep it
in the family.

Tom, I wanna protect it.

- Right. Because
keeping it would be--

- It'd be crazy
and impossible.

And, I mean, even if I had
the money to keep it going,

what am I gonna do?

Am I really gonna
give up my entire life

to move to Africa to
run a wildlife reserve?

[Chuckling]

- Why not?

- Because it's crazy.

[Chuckling]

It's... It's...

We need to go
to Johannesburg.

- OK!

[Chuckling]

[Birds chirping]

- Kira!

I wasn't
expecting you!

And Tom Anderson. I certainly
wasn't expecting you.

- How you doing, Artie?

- It depends on what the
two of you are doing here.

You ganging up on me?
- No, it's nothing like that.

Kira's got a proposal
she'd like you to hear.

- Oh, please join me.

- Last time we spoke,

you said that you understood
just how special Ukuthula is

and how you wanna protect that.

- Absolutely.

Of course, we need
to make some changes

to fit into the
Warrington brand,

but I'm confident
we can strike a balance

between progress
and preservation.

- That's great
to hear,

because what I
wanna suggest is,

instead of buying Ukuthula,
why don't you invest in it?

Become a partner
with us, with me.

Help us make Ukuthula
the best it can possibly be.

- Not to sound selfish,

but what do I get
out of this arrangement?

- Well, we could
put your logo

on all the vehicles
and in all the lodges.

You'd be rebranding yourself as
a corporation with a conscience.

And what could be
better than preserving

a threatened ecosystem
like the Savanna?

- It's a great pitch!

- So, you're
interested.

- In investing? No.

But it's a great marketing angle
for the project once we buy.

Look, everyone knows
Ukuthula's a sinking ship.

That's why mine's the only
offer on the table,

because I'm the only one with a
vision to see what it could be.

So I'm giving you 2 days,
till noon Saturday.

Be here to sign the contract,
or my offer's withdrawn.

- Artie. I'll sign it!

- Kira, you do not
need to sign.

- What choice do we have?

But I'll need a revised offer.
- Revised how?

- One that puts
protections in place

for the people
and the animals.

- Your financial advisor
already talked to me about that.

- Uh, I'm sorry.
My financial advisor?

- Brad Wilson. He came
to see me yesterday.

I told him we don't need to put
all of that in the contract,

and he agreed.

Look, you can trust me.

Two days!

[Sighing]

[Birds chirping]

- Hey! There you are!
Happy birthday!

- Thank you!
Do you know where Brad is?

- I think he's in
the boma for dinner.

- OK.

- What's going on?

- It's a long story,
but she's not very happy
with him right now.

- Uh-oh!

- Why "uh-oh"?
- Come on!

[♪ Staff singing in

[All applauding]

- That was so beautiful!

Oh, thank you so much!

That was beautiful.

- Tom has something
he wants to say.

[Sighing]

- They say judge
not your beauty

by the number of
people who look at you

but rather by the number
of people who smile at you.

None of us know
what'll happen tomorrow,

but what we do know
is that tonight,

this boma is full of smiles
because of you.

Happy birthday, Kira.

- [All]:
Happy birthday, Kira!

- Thank you!

Oh! You didn't need
to do this.

- It was Irving's favourite.

[Guests talking, indistinct]

- And it's Kimba's baby. Oh!

- [All]: Aw!

[All chuckling]

- Oh, thank you!

- Speech!

- Yes!

- Yes!

- [All]: Speech!

- I'm not good
at speeches.

[Laughing]

Um, OK, I--I just...

I guess I wanna say
thank you, really, so much.

Thank you for everything.

You know, being here
has been, um...

Well, it's been
life-changing.

And it's not just because
of the land and the animals,

but it's...

it's really because
of the people.

- [Lwazi]: So sweet!
- Truly.

So thank you.

- [John]:
Hear, hear!

- [Evelyn]: Aw!

[Laughing]

[Sighing]

- OK! Now it's my turn.

Open it.

Kira Slater,
will you marry me?

- [Evelyn]: Oh!

[Evelyn and John laughing]

[Glasses clinking]

[Chuckling nervously]

- How was
your meal?

[Sighing]

- Kira!

[Crickets chirping]

Kira! What is going on?

- Brad, how could you
go see Artie Warrington

without telling me?

- Uh, you asked
for my help.

- To review the contract,
not negotiate it.

You went behind my back.

- Kira, I'm sorry, OK?
I was just trying to help.

You know, we both know
I'm better with the numbers.

I'm Spreadsheet Guy!

- I don't want
Spreadsheet Guy!

I--I want someone
who respects me.

- We want the same things, OK?
We wanna get married, have kids.

We wanna have the nice house
with the white picket fence.

Right?

- Right.

- But I understand, OK?

I--I completely get
you didn't expect this,

and there's been a lot
of that this week.

I mean, first your
uncle, then Africa.

You inherited a reserve!

- Yeah, it's been a lot.

Maybe we should
discuss this tomorrow.

I just... I have
a lot to think about.

- Kira...

[Birds chirping]

[Zebras yipping]

[Snorting]

[Sighing]

[Snorting]

- Ally, here.

I'm at the ranger station
right now, both eyes on hippos.

Both eyes.

- [Man]: Roger that.

- Hey!

Did you talk to Kira?

- Ally, just leave it alone.

- Why are you acting like this?

- Acting like what?

- Tom, you're the person
who always wants to fix things.

- And you're the person who
always tells me not to, so...

- Exactly, and you've never
listened to me before,

so why are you starting now?

[Sighing]

You like to fix things, Tom.

So fix this!

- I don't know how. OK?

I mean, Kira,
the reserve, all of it.

I've turned it over in
my head a million times.

- Tom...

- I thought
I could get her

to fall in love
with this place.

And I think I did.

But what I wasn't
expecting was to...

- Was to fall in
love with her.

[Sighing]

- All I've done is make
things more complicated.

Huh? For everyone.

- Hey, come here.

Come here!

It's gonna be OK.

- Thanks, Sis.

- Yeah, no problem.

[Birds chattering
and whooping]

- You look like
you could use this.

- Ah, thank you.

[Sighing]

- It was an
eventful evening.

- Hmm!

That's one way
of putting it.

[Sighing]

I don't suppose you have any
insightful proverbs for me

about all this, do you?

- Not really.

Just this:

In the end,
it is up to you

to decide what
makes you happy.

- Right.

- Hmm!

- Is there someone
who could take me

up to the
hilltop lookout?

- I thought you'd
already been there.

- I have, but...

I just didn't really get
a chance to see the view.

- I'll call one of
the rangers to take you.

- Thank you.

- Mm-hmm.

[Elephants trumpeting]

[Bird screeching]

[Chuckling]

[Trumpeting]

[Birds chirping]

- Hey!

- Hey! I've been
looking for you.

- I went to the
hilltop lookout.

- See anything
interesting?

- I did!

Yeah, I did, but...

It was what I didn't see
that most interesting.

- What's that?

- No picket fences.

- I thought we
both wanted that.

Is this because
I went to Warrington?

- It's because you
didn't respect me enough

to speak to me first
about what I wanted to do.

I own Ukuthula.

And I feel like you look
at me as someone who...

who needs to be protected

instead of a woman
who's fully capable

of making her
own decisions,

A partner, an equal.

- We can fix this.

- No, Brad, this isn't
something you just fix.

- Is this because of Tom?

You're in love
with him.

- No.

This is because of me.

- This place has
changed you.

- You know, when I was a kid,
I loved adventure.

I walked up to an elephant
when I was 10 years old.

And this place,
being here has just...

It's made me realize
I still love adventure.

This place
hasn't changed me.

It's...

It's reminding me
of who I really am.

I'm sorry.

- Well, I guess I'll
be leaving, then.

[Chuckling]

- OK, so, I'm gonna take
the Harrises out at 3:00,

and then I'll come back and
I'll get the Bagwells

for their sunset drive.

- Good!

- Hey, sorry to interrupt.
Um, just 2 things.

Brad's gonna need a ride
back to the landing strip.

- Is he leaving?

- Yes.

- And you're staying?

- Yeah.

- Are you OK?

- Yes, I am.

- OK! Well, then, I can
arrange for the transportation.

- Great.
- What's the 2nd thing?

- Lwazi, do you think that
someone could bring me

some food and some coffee?

Like, a whole lot of coffee.

- Sure, where do
you want it?

- Um, just in my room
would be great.

I've got a lot
of work to do.

- Of course!

- Thank you!

Vicky! Vicky, hi!
It's Kira.

Listen, I really
need your help

and all of your
Twitter followers.

[Chuckling]

Yeah, it's time for me
to get in the shark cage.

[Sighing]

[Birds chirping]

- Oh! You're up early!

Oh!

- Yeah, I was up
most of the night.

I thought I had a solution,
and I redid the website.

I tried to get it to go viral,
but it's not working.

- Well, these things
don't happen overnight.

- They do on the Internet.

At least... At least
they're supposed to.

- Hmm!

- Hey!

- Tom asked me
to give this to you.

- What is it?

Hmm?

- It's his letter
of resignation.

[Birds chirping]

Come in!

- Hey! Just thought I'd come
see how you're doing.

- I'm OK.

I'm disappointed.

But you know what?

At least Ukuthula
has a shiny new website.

- When are you
heading home?

- Tomorrow.

There's really no
reason for me to stay

once I sign those
papers at noon.

- Uh, have you
talked to Tom?

- Ally, I don't
know what to say.

I just feel
so responsible.

The people were
depending on me.

- And you feel like
you let us down,

like you let Tom down.

- Yeah, a little.

- Well...

That's really silly.

- [Chuckling]: What?

What do you mean?

- Tom likes you, Kira.

And I'm pretty sure
you like him.

- Tom's taking
that new job.

I'm going back to Chicago.
Ukuthula's being sold.

What difference does it make
if Tom and I like each other?

- I think it makes all the
difference in the world.

But at the very least...

you should say goodbye.

- Hey!

- Packing up?

- Yeah.

I'm leaving tonight.

What about you?

- Tomorrow.

- Is Brad picking you up
from the airport?

- No, I'm gonna be
finding my own way home.

- I'm sorry.

- It's OK.

[Chuckling]

It's really OK.
It was--it was time.

- Right.

But you're still
going back to Chicago.

- Yeah, I stayed up all night
just really trying

to find a way to make it
work here and...

I guess I just don't really
have a reason to stay.

Do I?

- Not after the place
is sold to Warrington.

- And you took
the job in New York?

- Not officially,

um, but I'm gonna call
them on Monday, yeah.

- Right.

- I mean, I don't really have
a reason to stay here either.

Do I?

- I guess not
after it's sold.

I have to get
to Johannesburg,

but, um, I
just wanted to...

I just wanna
say goodbye.

- Goodbye, Kira.

- Bye, Tom.

- Kira!

Do you need a ride?

- Yeah.

[Chuckling]

I could be ready
in 30 minutes.

Thanks.

- OK.

[Yipping]

[Elephant trumpeting]

- Kira!

We have had 16 reservations
in the past 30 minutes!

And over 200 people asking
about the baby elephants.

- Really?- Yeah.

- Look at this!
There are 26 now. Ugh!

Oh, Lwazi, if I could
just have convinced Artie

to partner with us...

With these kind of
reservations coming in,

if we had a partner...

A partner!- Hmm?

- Lwazi, I just got
a great idea.

I have to find Tom.

- All set?
- I was just thinking.

When we were in the village
and went to the school,

you talked about
village partnerships.

How does that work?

- When a village is
partnered with the reserve,

there are benefits
for both parties.

- So, is there any reason we
couldn't do that with Ukuthula?

- I'm not sure the village could
afford to buy into Ukuthula.

- No, I'll give them
the 50% ownership.

We've had 26-- No!

[Laughing]

...32 reservations so far.

Tom, it's your video!

It went viral.
It's working.

I don't wanna sell
it to Warrington.

I just didn't think
there was any other way,

but maybe there is.

- Well, it can't hurt
to speak to the chief!

Let's go!

- Let's go!

[Tom and chief

- This is Kira.

- [Kira]: Ah, I can't believe

- [Tom]:
Yeah, we did it! Together.

- [Lwazi]: Yes!

- How did you come up
with all of this?

- Well, Tom had said something
about village partnerships,

and when the reservations
started pouring in, I just...

I don't know, it came to me
as a possibility.

And we went to meet
with the chief,

and he was very excited
with the idea.

- None of this
would've been possible

without Kira and
the revenue from our website.

- How many reservations
are we at now?

- Let's check.

Ah! Over 200!

[All exclaiming]

Including this one.
You have to read this.

- "Can't wait to come back.
Make sure the lions are out.

"John and Evelyn Bagwell."

[All laughing]

- All right!
I think it's time to sign.

- OK!

Kira, are you
sure about this,

sharing Ukuthula
with the staff?

- Yes! Ukuthula's
a family.

- Yeah!

- It should belong
to all of us.

[Giggling]

Chief?
- Mm-hmm.
