The Sleeping Dictionary (2003)

Henry is Selima's father. John Truscott tells Selima to go on a boat with their son that leaves Sarawak and that he'll be there when the boat is about to leave... but he's too late and the ship leaves. The cook tells him that Selima is going off into the wilderness with her son. Henry tries to stop her and Selima tells him that she's known for some time that he's her father.. they have an emotional farewell. John catches up with Selima (and the baby) and Shipperly has also caught up with them. He tries to kill them but some natives kill him with some poison darts in the nick of time. John, Selima and their son live happily ever after with some other natives who are starting a new village.
