Description: Segment 1 In the opening scene, Dr Kelly is shown entering a room, pouring water and washing his face. He looks into a mirror on the wall then sits down at his desk. He looks unwell as he loosens his collar then unrolls a map and looks at it. An intertitle reads: British West Africa Bathurst, The Gambia, December, 1901. We see Dr Forde sitting on a veranda, reading. Dr Dutton arrives. Forde and Dutton drink tea and discuss the weather before turning to the topic of Kelly. Forde tells how he admitted Kelly to hospital, thinking he'd caught malaria. The scene fades out as he speaks.

This cuts to a shot of Kelly in a hospital bed, very feverish with eyes closed. Forde, in a white coat, appears at the foot of the bed - his voice narrates over this scene, telling how Kelly did not respond to quinine, the standard treatment for malaria. We return to the earlier scene of Forde and Dutton on the veranda in Gambia. Forde tells Dutton that he saw some unusual parasites in Kelly's blood, he's not sure what they are and he'd like Dutton to examine Kelly but Dutton has to go on a boat trip for two weeks. They agree to introduce Dutton to Kelly now and make the examination when Dutton is back.

Later Dutton is on the veranda remembering something Kelly was mumbling about a ship, flies and heat. This cuts to a scene in which Dutton is examining Kelly in his hospital bed. Forde enters and Dutton explains that he has nearly finished. Forde takes blood from Kelly's finger then is called away unexpectedly by the ward sister. Time start: 00:10:10:00 Time end: 00:15:07:19 Length: 00:04:57:19 Segment 4 The scene opens with Kelly looking worried as he turns his head to Dutton who is seated in a chair where he looks down a microscope. He appears surprised by what he has seen. Forde returns. Dutton tells him that the worms he had been puzzled about in Kelly's blood are trypanosomes. He tells Forde to look for himself. We see a view of the trypanosomes as though through the microscope. Forde and Dutton discuss how these could be causing Kelly's symptoms. Dutton is excited at the discovery as nobody has found trypanosomes in the blood of a white man before. Both doctors speak to Kelly and explain why he is unwell. The next scene shows Kelly in his own room, appearing well. Forde narrates over it, giving details of his treatment. Then, over a still photograph of Kelly, Forde admits that he died. Forde continues to narrate over a scene of he and Dutton shaking hands on the veranda in Gambia. He tells of what Dutton did next: traveling and researching tick fever, from which he died. A still photograph is shown of Dutton. Finally, we see Forde sitting on the veranda. In voiceover, he tells how he stayed in West Africa for a long time and lived a few years when he returned home. A still photograph is shown of Forde, which pans out to show a group photograph which includes Kelly and Dutton. In voiceover Forde laments that he never realised how close he was to finding the cause of sleeping sickness. Time start: 00:15:07:19 Time end: 22:03:13 Length: 00:06:55:19
