There are, I feel,
only two major
frontiers left.

One is the exploration
of space,

carried out in a visual way
in your country
by Colonel Glenn.

The other is
the exploration
of the past,

a whole background
of geography, climate,
and animal life

which accompanied man's change
from a prehuman
to a Homo sapiens.

The earliest evidence
of man is the work
of nameless human artists

on the walls of caves.

Before this,
there is no recorded history.

One part of our search
has led us to the study
of apes.

The existence of the gorilla
and the chimpanzee
in Central Africa

led us to believe
our early ancestors
lived on this continent.

These two animals...

...and rarest of all the apes
is the mountain gorilla.

It inhabits the lush,
tropical highlands
of Central Africa,

so remote that
our last researcher suffered
an attack of appendicitis

and would have died
if not for Roz Carr,

an American friend
living in Rwanda
who got him to hospital.

These animals
greatly outrank monkeys

in intelligence.

But the study
of the mountain gorilla
has virtually ceased.

George Schaller's
pioneering study in 1960

told us that this,
the largest
of all the primates,

is in danger of extinction.

His census showed
there were fewer
than 500 left.

God knows how many we've lost
since then to the poachers
who invade the forests.

Finally,

I'm always being asked,
"Why do you do this?

"Why have you spent your life
looking for something

"buried in the past
for almost two million years?"

I suppose that
the only answer I can give
either you or myself

is simply this,

I want to know who I am
and what it was that
made me that way.

Thank you.

Dr. Leakey.

Dr. Leakey,
my name is
Howard Dowd.

I'd like you to meet
my wife Lucille.
Lucille's a real fan of yours.

We made a contribution
to this wildlife fund
of yours.

We were real pleased...

Excuse me.

You're doing
one fine job.

Well, thank you.

We need
all the contributions
we can get.

I'm Dian Fossey.
I wrote to you.

Thank you, Miss...

Fossey.

We appreciate
every contribution.

No, no, I wrote to you
about working in Africa.

Forgive me,
but I get many letters...

I wrote six times.
Dr. Leakey!

- About the gorillas.
- Sir!

You're the physical therapist.

I'm the physical therapist.

Hello, hello.

Excuse me,
we're having a...

Right-o.

Dr. Leakey,
I work with
handicapped children.

I spend a lot of time
trying to get...

Excuse me.
Do you mind?

Go ahead.
Thank you.

I spend time trying to get
close to people who don't
like anyone around them.

Thank you.

I know I have
no formal training,
but I love animals,

and I've spent two years
in preveterinary training.

I know you're sincere,
but liking animals
isn't enough.

You just said in there
that you need
someone right now

to take a census
of the mountain gorillas.

What about me? I can count.
One, two, three?

Do you really think
you can do it, roughing it
in Africa for six months?

Yes.

I tell you what.
Let me think about it.

How long will you think
about it? Until all
the gorillas are gone?

Dr. Leakey, you need me,
and I want this job.

Give me this chance.

Dian!

Hi!

I made it.

You sure did.

It's so exciting.

Do you have your
inoculations certificate?

Yeah. It's right here,
somewhere.

Good trip?

Very interesting.

Thank you. Okay.

There are a lot
of soldiers around.
Is something special going on?

Soldiers? Oh, yes,
I don't know.

I suppose it's because
they've been having
some sort of civil war.

Civil war?
There's a civil war
going on here now?

We have to find porters
and a tracker, then stock
you up with provisions.

Come on.

This is
the weekly market.

You'll be able to find
everything you need here.

First, let's find the chaps
who'll be your porters.

There they are.
There they are.

No bonbon.
Bonbon?

I've got no bonbon.

What is it?

Some believe a woman
living alone up there
has to be mad.

Alone?

Choose your man.

Your top man.
Your tracker.

Swahili.

Jesus Christ.

Bad hand,
good feet.

You speak English?

The priest.

St. Christopher.

Patron saint
of travelers
and me, too.

What's your name?

Sembagare.

Sembagare. I am
the finest tracker.

This man is
not good as me.

Him is a great liar.

Me, I'm the best.

Okay. Okay,
Sembagare, you're on.

Thank you.

Can you help me
buy groceries?

Food. Food?

Oh, food.

Okay, good.

Bonbon!

Are you coming?
Come along.

Maybe you'll get lucky.

Do you want this?

Oh, candles.

I've got five of those.

All right.

Yours. Part of the package.

You'll need to get around
when you're off the mountain.

Now, look here.

We're here.

The base of Mount Makoua
is a four-hour drive.

Leave the jeep here.
It'll be quite safe.

Pick up some local porters,
climb here, up to here,
then finish here.

Kabara Meadow.
George Schaller's
cabin's there.

Really?
Quite comfortable.

You mean we go now?

Yes, to make it by sundown.

I just spent 35 hours
on four different airplanes.

I think I should
at least take a shower.

No one will mind, dear.
I put a little something
in there for you.

Thank you.
That's very nice of you.

You forgot the rest
of my luggage.

There's no room.
They'll be sent
in a fortnight.

Now wait just a damn minute.

I just quit my job,
left my fiancé, to say
nothing of my appendix,

and flew halfway
around the world.

Now, those cases contain
my hair dryer,

my makeup, my underwear,
and my brassieres.

If they don't go,
Dr. Leakey, I don't go.

Now for the car.

Thank you.

What we have here
is a Land Rover
with four-wheel drive.

It's very simple, my dear,
once you get the hang of it.

Red is low, yellow is
two to fourth wheel,
but just use the black.

That's the clutch,
clutch in, first gear,
clutch out, second gear.

Okay?

Good luck, Dian. I have to go.

You're not coming with us?

Of course not.
My work's in Tanzania.
I like weekly reports, typed.

You'll be expected
to contribute material
to the National Geographic.

I mustn't miss my plane.
Good luck.

If you have
any problems, get in touch
with Roz Carr.

Dr. Leakey.

Have fun.

Is it true there's
a civil war going on here?

Not where we are going.

You must stop.

I'm fine.

Okay.

Buffalo take four days
to cross the plain.

They stop and start
and stop and start.

I said I'm fine.

Mademoiselle,
I have more tea.

Oh, great.

Thank you. That's
just what I needed.

Come on in.

I'm trying to cram more

of George Schaller's
gorilla book
into my fat head.

Come in. Shut the door.
It's freezing.

Is that George Schaller?

George Schaller?

That's David. He's my fiancé.

My future husband.

That's good,
woman, man, children.

Mmm.

Do you have a family,
Sembagare?

Once, and no more.

My tribe were killed
while I was tracking.

I'm so sorry.

Me, too. Good night.

Good night.

How big are
these night nests?

I don't know.

You mean you've forgotten.

How can I forget?
I never knew.

Night nests, Sembagare.

You know,
George Schaller's book says,

"We count
the gorilla's night nests
to get the census."

I don't know about gorillas.

Of course you know
about gorillas.
You're a tracker.

Yes, of buffalo,
antelope and elephant.

What?

Hey! Hey!

That's great.
That's just great.

What the hell
have you been doing
for the last five hours?

I've been waiting
for you to show me.

Shit.

Oh, shit.

Shit!

"March 23, 1967.

"Dear Dr. Leakey,

"Sembagare and I are
doing our best
to track the gorillas.

"We're covering
a lot of ground, but making
very little progress.

"The only guide we've got
is Schaller's book.

"So far, we haven't
had any luck.

"I'm not discouraged,
but I'm starting to think

"I'll spend my six months
in Africa without ever
seeing any."

April 22nd.
Dear Miss Fossey,

surely you didn't expect
the beggars to come out
and line up

so you could count them.

These animals are being
methodically wiped off
the face of the Earth.

They hold a clue
to the way man adapted
to his environment.

That's why it's
essential we discover...

I know that.
I'm not an imbecile.

I know you're not an imbecile,

but we must remember
the elementary steps

one overlooks
in situations like this.

Maybe I'm just
no good at this.

Six weeks.

Six whole weeks,
and not a single gorilla...

Shit.

Shit. I sat in shit.

Oh, my God.
It's gorilla spoor.

And it's fresh.

It most certainly is.

Go on.

Just you wait, Louis Leakey.
Just you wait.

So beautiful.

No, mademoiselle, no.

Run, run, mademoiselle!

Oh, God!

Are you all right?

Yes.

What does Schaller's book say
when a gorilla charges?

It says, "Never run."

Oh!

God, he was big.
How much do you
think he weighed?

Maybe two or three men.

I'm sorry.
It was my fault.
I did not do my job.

So fast. I didn't think
he could move that fast.

Oh, mademoiselle.
No, mademoiselle, no!

Stop it! Stop it!

What the hell are you doing?

Get your hands off!
That's my property!
That's my work!

Stop it! Damn it!

Sembagare! Tell them,
Sembagare! Tell them!

What's he saying?
What's he saying?

Here in Kivu, there's problem.
They don't want white people.

It's okay. I have
work permit. Work permit.

I have permission.
I have permission.

Tell him. Tell him, Sembagare.

No, no. No!

Sembagare!

I'm not leaving!

British people out!

I'm not British!
Look! I'm American!

From now on, I'll shoot!

Are you in charge here?

Are you in charge?
Are you in charge?

Get your filthy hands
off me! Get off me!

Find Roz Carr! American woman.
Across the border!

Sembagare, run! Run!

I will get Roz Carr.

Run!

Out, out!

Thanks for the lift!

We don't want
any foreign spies
in our country.

Arar, Tanga! Let her through!

Don't touch me!

Passport.

"Dr. Leakey,
we have been thrown out
of the Congo,

"all my research destroyed.

"This place is a disaster.
Some 'little' civil war.

"For two days now,
I've been trying to reach
Roz Carr's plantation..."

Do you know Roz Carr?

"...and I'm afraid
I'll never see
Sembagare again."

I told you. I told you.

Sembagare's a good tracker.
The best.

I won't ask
how you got here.

I'm not sure
how I got here. Thanks.

Good God!

What happened to you, child?

Oh, here.
You look exhausted.
Come inside.

Oh, what happened?

Come in.

Mrs. Carr.

I'm just writing
to my dear patron,
Dr. Leakey,

letting him know
that things have hit
a small snag.

Pleased to see you're
looking better. Would you
like some breakfast?

I'd like to wrap
Louis Leakey's cane
around his neck.

Thank you.

My resignation.

You're leaving?

What else can I do?

Don't look at me
like that.

I can't offer you a job
when I don't have one myself.

Can I?

Now he can't speak English.

Sembagare, it's not like
I'm giving up.

I was kicked out.
I didn't have a choice.

I'm going to go home.

I'm going to buy
the sexiest dress
I can find,

I'm going to marry David,

and he's never going
to hear another peep
out of me.

There's always war
and poverty here,

but I love these people,
and I cannot bear
their suffering.

Sometimes it seems
so hopeless that
I think I will leave.

I never really
decided to stay,

but each time
I came up for air,

it was spring,
and I was planting again.

The truth is,
I love it here.
This is my home.

You've really made
a life for yourself here.

How far away
are those mountains
from Kabara?

Oh, not far, really,
but Kabara is on
the Congolese side,

and the border's closed.

But gorillas don't
know borders.
They don't need passports.

Whatever are you
talking about?

Dian?

Dian.

Oh, God, that letter!

I've got to stop
that awful letter!

Wait! Dian!

"Dr. Leakey, we are
starting up again,

"this time from
the Rwandan side,
where there is no civil war.

"Sembagare has put together
a new team, and we begin
at daybreak tomorrow.

"This time,
I have bought a gun.

"If any civil war
comes my way, it had
better watch its ass.

"I'll write again
once we've established
base camp.

"P.S. I'm enclosing bills
for necessities..."

Miss Fossey,
if you expect
the National Geographic

to pay for a hair dryer
and nail polish,

you have another thing coming.

Now, the first item
on the agenda is
a new census.

This time when you begin,
I suggest you follow Schaller.

Try counting night nests
as a guide to how many
there might be.

Mount Karissimbi.

Mount Visoke.

Karisoke Research Centre!

"We have
established our new base
in excellent gorilla country,

"dense vegetation,
steep slopes.

"I have been in contact
with gorilla groups
almost daily.

"The most complete counts
we've been able to make

"is half of what it was
seven years ago."

The number
of gorillas that you report
is appallingly low.

At this rate, the poachers
will have wiped out
the entire species

within the next five years.

That makes it
even more urgent that we...

"For some time now,

"I have been following
one particular gorilla group,

"which I shall call
'group four'."

"I have been able to get
progressively closer
to the females and the young,

"but the silverback
remains aloof.

"He keeps his distance,
but watches everything
very carefully.

"I'm moving to within
30 to 60 feet of them,
and they do not seem afraid.

"I'm hoping to get closer..."

Dian,
the great George Schaller,

who spent his life
studying animals in the wild,

was wise enough
to keep his distance.
Please be careful.

"For the first time,
last week, a couple of them
actually approached me.

"They were boisterous
and high-spirited.

"The silverback watched
with great interest."

Dian, I urge you
for once in your life
to be cautious.

George Schaller himself
was never able

to make actual
physical contact
with a gorilla group,

and the male silverback
can be dangerous.

"Last week several
young gorillas played around
me for over an hour.

"There aren't words
to describe my emotions.

"It's made everything
we've been through worthwhile.

"I suppose my only regret
is that, except for Sembagare,

"I have no one
to share this with.

"To be perfectly frank,

"I think they're quite
confused as to my species.

"I've gotten them accustomed
to me by mimicking them,

"and they're fascinated
by my grimaces and actions

"that I wouldn't be
caught dead doing
in front of anyone.

"I feel like a complete fool,
but this technique seems
to be working,

"and because of
the increased proximity,

"I've been able
to observe a lot
never recorded before."

Miss Fossey,

that was undoubtedly
the most foolhardy,

the most harebrained,
lunatic thing I've
ever heard of.

However, since you seem
to have been successful,

congratulations.

It is an amazing
accomplishment, and I'm
quite proud of you.

The National Geographic
has approved new funding

and extended your work permit.

I cannot tell you how
pleased I am that
you're staying on with us.

I am, of course,
sorry for your young man
back in the States,

but if you pointed out
how much he was saving
on candy bars and cigarettes,

not to mention
lipstick and shampoo,

I'm certain
his disappointment
would be tempered.

Hey! Don't you dare
cook Moosey.

What?
No further.

What is it?
Sumu.

Black magic.

Black magic?

What is all this?

Batwa cemetery.

Oh!

No! Put it back!

The stones around the grave
keep the soul in the ground
at peace.

The circle joins two souls
and makes them one forever.

Batwa. We have disturbed
their burial place.

Oh, shit.

They want you to kneel down.

Do it!

He wants to touch
your hair. Let him.

What was that all about?

Your hair is color of fire.
They think you are a witch.

Oh, yeah?

They wouldn't be the first.

I got it!

I got my work permit renewed,
after four hours of batting
my eyelashes.

I need a treat,
so I'll be back.

Where did you get this?

Mama, Mama.

Sembagare!

I just want to ask you...

I just want to talk to you!

They say this park
is protected.

These Batwa spring
traps everywhere.

Some protection.
No animal is safe
around here.

Beautiful!

That's what it's all about.

Oh, no!

His back is
broken from the fall.
He'll be dead soon.

In 30 minutes,
it will be all over.

That's too long.

The Batwa did this!

And their fathers
and their fathers before them.

And their sons
and their grandsons
after them.

I don't think so.

If they want a witch,
I'll give them a witch.

Fourth and fifth
digits webbed.

Hello, Digit.

This here is her house.

Thanks.

Great to be your helper.

Good night.

Good night, sir.

What the hell's
going on in there?

What is that?

Hello?

That's pretty good.
Had me fooled.

Hi. I'm Bob Campbell.

Rotten lousy weather
you have up here. Sorry I'm
a day-and-a-half late.

I sent a message
from Kigali.

No?

That's Africa for you.

What was the message?

I'm here to photograph
your apes.

They're mountain gorillas.

You can't take photographs.

Who the hell did you
say you were?

Bob Campbell,
National Geographic.

I've got to get warm.

This might explain
things for you.

Cold enough in here
to hang meat.

Here you go.

I'll save you the eyestrain.

National Geographic
want pictures.

It's a matter of
not biting the hand
that feeds you.

Do you have any experience
with animals, Mr. Campbell?

In 1950, I was
bitten by a snake
in the outback.

There you go. I was 20.

In '58, a Bengal tiger,
Shivpuri, India.

Gee, they don't seem
to like you very much.

No, they don't.

In '64, I went through
the ice in Alaska. I had to
tread 48-degree water.

I've had a pathological fear
of the cold ever since.

You can bunk with Rushemba,
first tent on the right.

Good night.

Ow!

Bloody woman
and her monkeys.

What is this stuff?

Good morning,
Mr. Campbell.

Are you having trouble?

Nettles aren't nearly
as dramatic as Bengal tigers.

They bloody hurt.

Oh, if you think
they hurt now,
wait a few hours.

Thanks.

You can come with us,
but no pictures,

and you have to stay
at least 30 feet back,

so put those away.

Now.

Yes, ma'am.

Damn.

Gorillas get caught
in these traps.

Sembagare and I went through
four days ago.

We cut 11 traps.

So, imagine
a carefree animal.

Damn Batwa!

You can't put
all the blame
on the Batwa.

No?

They've been feeding
their families like this
for generations.

If you're going to
blame anyone, blame
the doctor in Miami.

He hires the bloke
that hires the Batwa.

The Batwa get to feed
their kids, the middleman
gets a silk shirt,

and the doctor gets
a gorilla-hand ashtray
for his coffee table

and a big gorilla head
for his wall.

I can't get to
the doctor in Miami.

You ever been to a doctor's
office that didn't have
a copy of National Geographic?

Have you?

When you photograph,

no sudden movements, stay low,

no pointing or waving,
that frightens them,

and not too much
direct eye contact,
or the silverback may charge.

If he does, stand your ground.

Never, ever run
from a gorilla.

And don't scratch.

You have any calamine lotion?

Better than that, my own brew.

Is it true you're a witch?

That's what the Batwa say.

It just looks like guacamole.

Great.

The latest in modern medicine.

Well,

good night.

Good night.

Thanks for the lesson
in gorilla etiquette.

What?

It means
"brightness and light."

Sembagare, really.

Obviously
they know I'm not a gorilla,
but the sound reassures them.

So, what do you want?

The gorillas.
You with the gorillas.

I'll go...
I'll go over there.

All right.

They don't know you.

They've never seen a tripod,
so move very slowly.

Hello, Tiger. Hello.

Wow.

Break off
one of those stems
and pretend to eat.

Act submissive.

I've never been
so submissive in my life.

Where is he?

Losing interest.

Could you go over to him?

Digit?

Now?

Is it all right?

I'm starting to be able
to tell the difference
between them now.

Yeah. They...

As you can see,
they're all very different,

and they all have
very different characters.

No two have
the same noseprint,
right?

Right.

Effie and Marquesa, they're...

Marquesa has...

The bridge of her nose
has a curve.

She has a curve.

She has a line.

A beautiful line.

A beautiful shape.

A beautiful curve.

I was amazed when
he came so close to you.

Digit and I have
a strange connection.

He has no peers in his group.

He's alone. I understand that.

Why is that?

It's nice to see
a married man who can sew.

How'd you know I was married?

The night you arrived,

you shook the rain
off your parka
outside the door

so you wouldn't
get the floor wet.

Does it matter?

Apparently not.

Wow.

How'd you go?
Get everything
on your list?

Eight more Halloween masks.

Only red ones,
or ones with red hair.

I won't even ask why,
but I'll try to get some
for you in Nairobi.

Look what you've got.

Oh, look what I did.

Oh, sorry.

What else are you going to
do in Nairobi?

What do you mean?

Nothing. Never mind.

Looks bad for flying.

It'll pass.

I don't think so.

Those puddle-jumpers
can fly through anything.

I know these storms.
High winds and heavy rainfall.

You shouldn't be flying.
I'm right about this.

Yes, you are right.

I will be seeing my wife.

I know.

I love you.

What?

Oh, no!

Oh, my God.

Oh, no.

No!

No!

Daveed, I believe
you're a good boy.

And I have lovely goodies here
for such a good boy.

You can have it
if you tell me
where they took her.

Tie him.

Turn him around.

Bring him to me!

You tell me!

Tell me! Tell me, damn it!

The man
who buys the animals...

Yes?

He wanted the baby gorilla.

He stays at hotel.

Where?

At Ruhengeri.

Good boy.

Wait here.

Usheppe, get the tire iron.

Come on.

Oh, shit.

Come here.

How could they do this?

Claude Van Vecten!

Which one of you
is Claude Van Vecten?

Are you responsible
for kidnapping this animal?

How dare you break into...

If I ever see you
or your meat wagon again,

you might end up
in a wooden box!

Bill of sale, madam,
from the Minister
of the Interior.

I am going to
have you arrested.

You try it. Just try it.

You piece of shit!

Bastard.

Mukara, wait! Wait!

I'm Dian Fossey.
I have to talk to you.

I know who you are.
You live with the gorillas.

I don't live with them.
I study them. I count them.

And today there's
six less than yesterday.

I don't understand.

Give her to me.

This baby gorilla's
been sold to a zoo broker.

Yes, I know.
I sold it. Just...

Why?

Money. Lots of it.

Five gorillas were
killed in the bargain
protecting this baby.

They were murdered
by poachers.

The gorilla population
is half what it was
10 years ago.

Your problem is
decreasing gorillas. Mine is
increasing people.

We're on opposite sides
of the same problem.

Can I have this water?

Sure.

That kind of money provides
people with food, clothing,
shoes, medicine.

Necessities.

Do you want to compare
priorities, Miss Fossey?

No, I don't.

The Virungas are supposed
to be protected parks land.

Where's the protection?

Protection is expensive.

Make new laws, raise taxes,

but give my gorillas
the protection they deserve.

Your gorillas?

As I recall, Miss Fossey,

you're a visitor
on a yearly renewable
work permit.

Now, I don't believe
that status entitles you
to make government policy.

What about this poor baby?

This animal's going
to die in 24 hours.

You'll be giving back
all that money

because Van Vecten doesn't
look like the kind of guy
to buy dead property.

I could try to make her
well enough to make
that journey if...

If?

If you give me five men
to train as rangers,
antipoaching rangers.

Four men, and you pay
half their salary.

Three men, and you pay
all their salary.

Agreed.

Got to eat something,
you know. I know
you're hungry.

Just try. Just try a little.

Just a little bit, no?

It's got lots
of vitamins in it.

Taste it?

What about this? This is good.

Smell familiar?
Does this smell like home?

Pucker, don't do this to me.

Look at this.

Mmm.

Very tasty.

You don't want any,
though, do you?

Do you want some?

Come on. That a girl.

That a girl.

That's pretty good.

Now you can sleep.

Dian Fossey!

Pucker, look who's here!

Pucker, meet Bob.

Hey, it's my turn!

Jealous.

Yeah.

The tub's for me.

A daily scalding
might just make
this climate bearable.

You were meant to
be a surprise.

That's a girl.

Oh, she's adorable.

And this is for you.

Beautiful. Look at you.

You like her?

Oh, she's so beautiful.

Break these strips up
and burn them.

They're new.

I've hired
antipoaching patrols.

My woman's the only
woman in the world
with her own private army.

I have so much to tell you.
Pucker was kidnapped. I had...

I know all about it,
and so does most of Rwanda,

Nairobi, London and New York.

You, my beautiful,
are becoming a legend.

Would you like to
go to the movies?

Can I have a bath first?

You can have a bath second.

Sembagare.

Why am I in this movie
so much?

Hey.

'Cause you're the story.
You're what people
are interested in.

The gorilla girl.

Makes me look like
some real weirdo.

Well, crawling around
the mud in this climate
after a bunch of gorillas

might just be
perceived as weird.

Do you think I'm weird?

Yes, I do. Absolutely.
Without question.

I also think
you are wonderful.

Which comes first,
weird or wonderful?

Weird.

The gorillas look great.

Look at that.

See anyone you know?

I've asked my wife
for a divorce.

Did you hear me?

I'm scared.

You're scared?

I'm about to marry a girl
who may have gorillas
for bridesmaids,

and you're scared?

You should be scared.

You know what I want?

I want to get
this film finished,
be well paid for it,

go to a warm climate,

and be around
to make love to you
on your 64th birthday.

Good dog. Yes.

Good dog.

Dian!

What?

Well, he's got the shape
of the face, but he missed
on the nose.

That's not funny.

Where'd they get your hair?

I haven't seen
my hairbrush for a while...

You've got
these Batwa very upset.

I'm not running
for Miss Congeniality.

That a good girl.

Be a minute.

We've got to go now.
Van Vecten's men are
ready to leave.

Come on. Come on.

Yes, look at this yummy drink.

Come on. Let's go.

Up you go. Yes.
That's a good girl.

What a good girl you are. Yes.

Yes, that's it.

Here's some nice cabbage.

Okay, Pucker,
in we go. That's a girl.

Come on.

There's a nest inside
here and lots of water.

It's going to be fine. Really.

Be brave. Be brave.

Off you go.

I'm sorry.

Go on.
I'm sorry!

Pucker.

God!

You know,
if you could mix up
a shrinking potion,

Witch Fossey,

we could sit on this twig,
float down this stream,
into the Nile,

go through the Sudan,
past Cairo,

pop out into the Mediterranean
somewhere near Alexandria,

where I'd buy
a bottle of red vino,

and I would toast your beauty.

Dian, we can't stay
on this mountain forever.

Sure, we can.

The pictures are
selling very well.
Job offers are coming.

But the gorillas are here.

I'm here.

We'll get someone to manage
the center part of the year,

one of those researchers
who writes to you.

I don't want a lot of snotty
little scientists with slide
rules up their back pockets

peering at my gorillas.

Now, hold on.
I'm talking about six months.

Six months here.

Six months out of here.
That's all.

You know, I just can't
imagine not being
out with them every day,

seeing their faces,
hearing them
and smelling them.

Every time I think I know
everything there is to know
about a gorilla,

the next day something
completely new happens.

I'm hooked.

How can I give that up?

Yeah.

Dian?

This is from the Geographic.

I've been offered
a job in Borneo.

They want you to come, too.

Studying primates.

Your field.

Dian?

Is the projector
well-packed?

Yes.

Good.

That's both the tripods
there, is it?

Look, I got to go,
all right?

It's a job.

I can't go
the rest of my life
without working.

I'm sorry.

I'm not like you.
I can't spend the rest
of my life up here.

I wish I could.

I'm sorry.

I'll write to you soon,
but in the meantime,

can you please get
a two-way radio so I can
at least talk to you?

If you go,

don't write.

Please don't come back.

Let's go.

You're our very first
research students,
actually, guinea pigs.

It's a long road. Here.

What's in here, rocks?

Mukara.

What did Van Vecten want?

It seems the Cologne Zoo
wants another gorilla.

But don't worry,
I told him that's all over.

One gorilla wasn't enough?

Pucker died a year
after delivery.

Good for Pucker.

When Leakey died,
I almost chucked it all
and went home.

Then I thought
of my gorillas.

I haven't lost one
to poachers in over
10 months.

That's a record.

What does
"toto nyoka" mean?

Who called you that?

Nwaka.

It means, affectionately,
"the worm boy."

Great.

Look around you.
This is as close to God
as you get.

Let's go.

Get down!

I don't know this one.

No, don't move.

Oh, it's just a bluff.

Kim? Good morning.

Lovely weather. Better put
your hood on. You'll go with
Sembagare and me today.

Good morning, Brendan.

Larry, you're late again.

It is not my job to get
you up in the morning.
Be on time, please.

Brendan and Larry,
you go with the rangers.

Dominique, show them
how to cut traps.

In fact, all of you
need to be much better
with the panga.

Dian, may I have
a word, please?

What is it?

I know how important
it is to cut traps,

but I am so close
to getting my data
for the birth frequency graph.

Brendan, you know the rule.

You cannot research them

unless you put in the time
to protect them, all right?

Now, no more of that
"me-itis." Let's go.

Simba's much bigger.

Yeah.

She's due in about
two weeks now.

Check out the proud father
over there, Digit.

Is the infant quailing?

That's right.
You've been doing
your homework.

In your book,
you mention a great
lobelia fern near here.

Could I see it?

Giant lobelia.
Giant lobelia.

Could I see it
today with you?

Sure.

Digit's group.

Go on.

Digit.

No, mademoiselle.

What about the rest
of the group?

They got away.

Tell him he no longer
has his courage or his men.

Ruhengeri Police.

How could you do that?

I don't care what
that man did. This isn't
your private kingdom.

That was sick.

You think I'm sick?

Am I a murderer?

Did I do this?

This won't stop
until those butchers
are stopped!

What are you crying about?
I have been wasting
my time with you.

Sembagare!

I found these.

Leave them.

Mademoiselle. Mademoiselle!

No, mademoiselle.

No. Get out of there!

No.
Stop it!

I mean it! Stay out.

No. No. No, mademoiselle!

Stay out of there.

Kim?

Kim, I'd like to
talk to you, please.

May I come in?

Oh, God.

This isn't a summer camp.

If you want to crawl into
each other's beds, you can do
it somewhere else, all right?

You're fired!

You can't fire us!
We work for
the Leakey Foundation!

Get off my mountain!

What are you staring at,
you stupid, lazy wogs?

If you'd done
your job, none of this
would've happened.

Please don't speak
to them that way.

I pay them.
I can talk to them
the way I want to.

You don't pay
them that much.

I pay them plenty.

Sembagare, whose side
are you on?

I'm on your side.

I'm always on your side,
mademoiselle.

But you have made me
ashamed of you.

They took his head
and his hands.

They took his head.

I heard Digit's group
last night,

near the west ravine.

Oh, get on with it,
Sembagare.

Hi, Maggie. I'm back. Hello.

How are you?

Yes.

Oh, yes.

I don't see Simba.

Simba's not here.

Oh, no.

No?

No. Nothing.

Simba.

Hi.

Hello. Hello.

Fourth and fifth digits
webbed. I know you.

Nice ring, Van Vecten.

Zoo sale profits?

Miss Fossey,
where did you see
your first wild animal?

The zoo, wasn't it?

You like this ring?
You want to keep
the hand this ring is on?

If I see or hear or smell you
anywhere near my gorillas,

you'll be writing with your
other hand, and I'll have
a new ashtray, understand?

You are mad.

Yes, I am mad. I am crazy.

You go too far.

Good!
Don't push me.

I'll push you off the Earth,
you murderer!

Mukara was here
this afternoon. He is
very angry with you.

He says you're telling
people there's typhoid
here on the mountain.

Mademoiselle, the government
needs money from the tourists.

They get very mad
if you scare
these people away.

Mukara also said
last week you shot
a tourist in the meadow.

Now, that is not true.
I shot way over their heads.

They are not going to
turn this mountain
into a big damn zoo.

They're not.

Mademoiselle, Mukara told me
to tell you

if you continue to do this,
they will not give you
a new work permit.

Did he, now?

A three-year work permit
issued 10 days ago.

They can't touch me now.

That's a beauty.

You're beautiful.

Yes.

Wow.

"For as much
as it hath pleased
almighty God

"with His great mercy
to take unto himself

"the soul of our dear sister
here departed.

"Almighty God,

"who did send so far
Thine only son

"to seek and to save
that which was lost,

"look down in mercy."

Oh, I wish you'd
leave Karisoke for good
before it kills you.

I always thought
I'd go back to the States
sooner or later.

I really expected
to get married, have children.

Instead, you've got
a mountain full of gorillas

who wouldn't be alive
if it weren't for you.
