Who are you ?
We have found him
The spirit that made the sea, the sky and the ground that you walk on
Says that he gives to those that give back to the earth
That is something you will never understand
You see, we eat the fruit that the earth gives us
And in return we return what we do not eat
Which then fertilizes the crops
That there, my friend,
Is the cycle of nature
You're hungry too ?
Well, you do not eat fruit
So you just have to wait for Crusoe to come back
He promised to find us some eggs
What took you so long ?
We had a visitor on the north cove
What kind of visitor ?
A Carib, like you
Except with make-up and frippery
He had piercings everywhere Here, here
He made no attempt to harm me but he...
Cut off a lock of my hair and just ran
That cannot be good
I did manage to get this, though
The person that you described, he is not from my tribe
He is Kaseek
Royalty
What's he doing here then ?
That is what I do not understand
They are all meant to be dead
This was no ghost
The Kaseek they were the superior tribe
Cultured, inventive
They ruled by the law and detested human flesh
And they were very skilled craftsmen
- Sounds like my type of people - And also very fierce warriors
OK, your type of people
They used to protect our villages
So we never had to worry about raids from the flesh-eaters
What changed ?
One day, the king disappeared, th the tribe disbanded
Actually, nobody really knows what happened to them
They just became a legend
They're not a legend anymore
They're on our island Or at least one of them is
And we we should find him
Some say he abandoned his people
Others say he went on to the afterlife Nobody knows for sure
Certainly an interesting tale Perhaps if we find him
We can ask him for directions off this sand dune
If I can speak his language
You speak everyone's language
And I'm misunderstood in most of them
These are a serious people, Crusoe
Well, if they're civilized, they can be reasoned with
Leave the reasoning to me
Seems as though you've never been in the presence of true royalty before
In my country, if you get near royalty, it's because you've lost your head
- Quiet - I don't hear anything
You will not
These are not your people, Crusoe
They do not blunder through the forest announcing their arrival
Looks like they left us a souvenir
This was a mistake
What are you talking about ?
This is bad
We should leave this place
Because of that ? What is it ?
- It is a sign - What kind of a sign ?
The mark of the hunt
- So they're hunting - It is what they are hunting
- He took your hair for a reason - So they're hunting me ?
We should leave this place and go back the way we came
Move downwind and mask our scent
I don't understand I don't see the point Why bother hunting me ?
He took my hair He could easily slit my throat Stop ? Come here
Can't Crusoe, they did it for the sport of it
Don't tell me They're legendary hunters
Each trained in a field of combat
Why me ?
Do you remember that wild pig ?
The one that had the white stripe on the side ?
You gave it a name and chased it for weeks
Jeffries ?
That was a pig and half I've never seen another one like it
Exactly
I'm the pig
Just remember who said it out loud
To them, you're some sort of a prize
I cannot see it myself, Crusoe, but there you go
It would be a very good time to see Santana come with a rescue ship
Do not rely on that
I thought you trusted him now
I do not doubt his intentions, Crusoe
But we do not always achieve what we intend
Mr Santana ?
Santos Santana
Senora Crusoe
- Please - The day I do not rise
For the woman beloved of Robinson Crusoe
Is the day the breath leaves my body
- You have a story for me, Mr Santana ? - I do
I cannot pay you much
You won't pay me at all The debt is on my side
I don't understand
I'm not the first man that owes his life to your husband
I made him a promise to return with a ship
But thanks to this affliction,
I have yet to keep it
- Where is he ? - On an island
It is a tale of pirates
Treasures and mutineers
And cannibals and heroes
I'm sure it is
And I pray that you open your heart to believe it,
for I know no one else who will
Please
He seemed sincere
But his story was just like all the others
All serpents and mermaids
Not quite so fantastical
It had Robin
Marooned on an island
With guns and a dog
And- and a house in the trees
And all sorts devices for his comfort
Word has got around
You're a woman who will pay for a tale
He said Robin had been a planter in Brazil
Can you imagine that ?
Well, I would've had a letter by now
I'm sure of it
Your soup is getting cold
Wait
Someone is following us
There Come on
I've got him
- Maybe we can negotiate - With what ?
These people are after my head What do we offer them ? An arm ?
We can ask them just to torture you a little bit
- He's fast - He's not as fast as a musket ball
On second thought, he's all yours
- Plan B - Leg it
Crusoe, I'm not the pig He wants you
- Are you OK ? - I'm fine I'm all right
I do not understand this
The Kaseek never used to hunt men
This goes against everything they believed in
Well, whatever it is they believe in,
I think we can safely assume that I'm their prey
What was that ?
Do you want me to guess ?
Only if you can guess me some good news
Another warrior is coming
That's not good news
- What can we stop them ? - You cannot stop the Kaseek
You shouldn't sound so impressed
Crusoe, I have a plan
We should go different ways They are hunting for you
Not for me
So maybe I can distract them
That's nice of you to point out Where will you go ?
Preferably another island
But that is not an option
All right
Why are we splitting up again ?
The element of surprise
Perfect I'll see you at the tree house
So
I was turned down like this before I could keep my word
They had me halfway home before I could learn to speak
It's not your fault if no one believes you
You believe me, don't you ?
Of course I do
Could you raise me a rescue ship ?
Not quite so simple
