Sarah Bernhardt

In the hot, humid depths of the Guyanese forest, gold finally begins to pour out. Guilt-ridden over the accident, Vincent works like a madman. Serra brings in alcohol and girls to distract the exhausted gold miners and make a few more dollars off them. Vincent is disappointed that Anita has come along, and tries to stop her from prostituting herself. His noble intentions spark derision and even anger from some of the men. Serra has to find a way to sell the illegal gold. He goes back to Saint Elias and discovers that Nathalie has been tapping his bank account to expand Acai Beach, and that his daughter Laetitia is involved with Claudio. Vincent takes advantage of Serra's absence to look for the mythic Sarah Bernhardt gold mine. He defies Louis's orders, and brings back to camp a hysterical young Brazilian girl who was injured in the forest. The mine comes under attack. In Cayenne, Serra contacts a jeweler he's dealt with for ages, but his old partner lays a trap for him.
