Where are you, my love?
I can't find you.
I need you.
Requesting permission to land.
Zulu, Sierra, Papa, Mike, Victor, cleared to land.
Did you say something to me?
Is this your first time in South Africa?
No. No, but it was another lifetime.
Wow. So beautiful.
Hey, Norah.
Mare?
Hey, look out the window.
Mare.
Mare. Look at them. Yeah.
Go that way. I'm so hot. My God, Dad.
My eyes are sweating. Thank you so much.
You're welcome. Everything is sweating.
My spleen is sweating. Your spleen?
The sweat on my spleen is sweating.
Oh, my gosh.
Heinously hot.
I'm melting, Mare.
Stuff's got to breathe.
JFK to London,
London to Johannesburg, Johannesburg to Polokwane,
and Polokwane to the middle of freaking nowhere.
Where are we right now?
The bush.
Do they have one of those fans
that, you know, like, squirt water?
Hello, Tata. Hello.
Hey. Hey.
Norah, you want some water? Take some water.
Dad, are you sure he's coming?
Well, I hope so,
because an Uber would take a long time to get here.
It's so hot. I need water. How about it, Mare?
Come on. Africa?
Oh, my God. It's so hot. Come on, baby. Talk to me.
I think that's him. It is him.
Hey.
Air conditioner.
Hey, he made it.
I have no words. Wow. Look at this.
Look at you, guy.
How are you, bro? What's up, man?
Man. How was... How was the flight?
Good. It was real good. Yeah?
Remember Norah?
Oh, my goodness. Martin. Oh, my gosh.
The last time I saw you, you were just a...
...little half a man. Okay.
You are getting so much taller. Okay.
You're getting so much more witty. All grown-up.
And, Meredith, how's the teenage life?
It's just "Mare. "
Mare. Okay. Here you go, brother.
Here we go. Okay.
Yeah, let's give you guys a hand here.
- Let's go. - All right.
Welcome to Mopani, guys.
Are you, like, one of those game wardens?
I've had to sort of become like an enforcer for the reserve.
Enforcer?
Yeah. Safari's big business.
A lot of pressure on all sides.
One way or another,
everyone depends on the animals for their survival.
This is Mom's village.
Yeah. I first met your mom when I was a kid.
Used to come up here on family holidays.
Met her and her friends.
They taught me all about the area.
Actually got me interested in wildlife.
And after university, I introduced her to your dad.
I got some memories here, boy.
There you go.
- Looks all good, man. - Yep, yep. Yeah.
It's the nicest it's looked in a long time,
because I knew I had guests coming. Sorry.
It's okay. Yeah. You did?
- Come on. This way. - Okay.
Wow, man. You really looked after the place.
Is that the Bantam?
Yep. Yep. No.
You still didn't fix it?
No, I was waiting for you to come back
and see if you could get it running. Me? Yeah, right.
It goes straight up. Okay.
Just through that one on the left, guys.
Yeah.
Hey, man, thank you so much for having us.
Yeah, of course, man. We really needed it.
Is it this door?
Right through that door. Yeah.
You need help? Just kick it.
Sometimes it sticks. Yeah.
Put strength into your foot, Norah.
Come on, bigfoot. You got it. Okay. That's...
There we go.
Get some light.
Oh, guys, don't worry about your shoes, please.
Since my last girlfriend left,
I've been living like a bachelor.
Oh, yeah? Yeah, place is a real mess.
You'll have to excuse it.
So, Uncle Martin. Yeah?
What's your Wi-Fi password?
Just so I can, you know, like, connect to it or something.
Yeah, sorry.
We don't actually have Wi-Fi or cell phone signal here
for the next ten days. What are you gonna do?
- No. No, no. - Yeah.
- That's not fair. - No, you'll be all right.
Whatever. What?
There's plenty to see, though.
Don't worry. You won't miss your phone.
This is so back-in-the-day.
Yeah.
So, ladies, you are through here.
Sorry. I know it doesn't look like much,
but they're more comfortable than they look.
Did Mom shoot some of these?
You still got these?
Yeah, of course, man. Okay.
This...
This little bump right here, you know who that is?
That's you.
These photos are amazing.
Mom looks so young and beautiful.
Where'd she shoot this one?
That's just up the road here.
I love this tree.
- Is that a self-portrait? - Yeah.
She spent so much time there,
we actually called it the Amahle Tree.
She loved to photograph that thing.
Can you take that salad through for us? Okay.
Smells good.
Yep. It's ready, man. Okay.
All right. Where's Mare?
She's in there unpacking.
Okay.
Hey, Mare. Hey.
Dinner's ready.
Thanks.
So, you got everything you need?
I was the one who packed your suitcase, Dad.
Yes, yes, you did. Yes, you did.
So, did I get everything I need?
Hey, dinner's ready, okay?
You just said that. No, I know I just said that. I just...
And this is all with the...
The long exposure with your mom's old Nikon?
Oh, yeah. We got to restock. MARE: Some people think it's old-school,
but I just prefer film.
Film is old-school, but, I mean...
I love shooting with film. Yeah?
Yeah. That is really amazing.
Thank you. Nate, you see this?
- Look at this work. - Oh, yeah.
No, I haven't seen that one, but...
It's just like your mom's. Yeah.
It's got the same kind of soul to it. Yeah.
You are really talented.
I applied to the Tisch School of the Arts at NYU.
Okay, okay. Is that a big... It's a big art school?
Oh, Is it? Yeah, it's a big school.
- It's the best school. - Well, you're gonna get in.
Thank you. I hope I do. Yeah.
She's gonna get in. Watch. Mark my words.
She didn't apply for the medical school
- like Daddy wanted. - No, you shouldn't,
'cause one doctor's enough in your family.
What? No, look.
No, I tell her all the time that I love her work.
She got that...
What is that one that's on the fridge?
It's like a blue car, and there's a building in the back.
Dad, the car is not blue. It's red.
It's not red. It's red.
It's blue, right? It's a red car, Dad,
and that was five years ago.
Sorry, I meant red.
Yeah, of course you did. I said blue, but it...
Okay, what are you into nowadays, young lady?
This minute, I'm thinking about going into psychology.
Mare. Family therapy, maybe.
Hey. Mare. Mare. Probably a good idea.
If you got a problem, just...
Come on, Nate. Just say it.
My problem is that in the last ten minutes,
Martin just showed more interest in my photography
