"[GIBBERS]" "Okay, doc, that's far enough." "PAULA:" "Judy!" " The spider bite her, daktari." "The spider that kills." "What's your verdict?" "My neck or hers?" "Well, Marsh, what do you think?" "Well, I'll just give him this antidote and you can put him in his cage." "Good." "I'm all through with, uh, my end." "Judy." "Zebra has enough stripes." "Better come around pretty soon or Judy will start playing tic-tac-toe." "Marsh, look." " I look for daktari." " Take it easy, you found him." "I'm daktari." "You come with me to Utabi." " Utabi, is that your village?" " Mr. Mills say, "Come quick." "Bring medicine." Chief very bad, daktari." " Wait a minute." "Who is Mr. Mills?" " Mr. Mills, good man." "Mutabi help him cure sickness, as he cure Mutabi." "See." "Well, whoever Mr. Mills is, he can certainly perform an appendectomy." "Well, if he's sending for help, the chief really must be sick." " I'll go with you, Dad." " No, no." "Mr. Mills say, "Only daktari."" "Marsh?" "Something's fishy." "I mean, how many doctors are there back in the bush?" "How come we haven't heard of this Mr. Mills before?" "I don't know." "I'll ask him when I get there." "Come on, Mutabi." " You bring medicine?" " Yes, I have a bag in the truck." "It contains everything we're likely to need." "I'll call in later." "[CLARENCE GROWLS]" "It's all right." "It's all right." "[JUDY GIBBERS]" " No, Judy, you can't go either." " No, Judy, "Mr. Mills say, 'Only daktari."'" "[JUDY GIBBERING]" "MIKE:" "Utabi's pretty well isolated, all right." " Yeah, but it's not really that far." "They could have called on us for help before now." "Maybe Mr. Mills didn't need any help before now." "Right now I could use a little help myself." "Sarang has me worried." "The infection is almost gone but she's still running a fever." "The way she and Prince play together, you would never know it." "Judy!" "Judy." "When did you develop a taste for poultry vaccine?" " It's the glue on the label that she goes for." " Ah." "Come on, Judy, put this back." "Come on, put it back." "[JACK CHUCKLES]" "Go ahead, young lady." "Put the label on the bottle." "Ah." "Mutabi, your sense of direction leaves a lot to be desired." " This is practically a dead end." " We're very close now, daktari." "See smoke?" "Utabi." "My village." "Well, it may be close for eagles but it's gonna take us a bit more time." " No problem, doc." " See?" "I bring daktari as you tell me." "Good going." " Mr. Mills, I presume." " Yeah." "But there's no time for jokes now." "Then why this obstacle course?" "Surely there must be a better path to Utabi." "Well, yeah, doc, but I figured I'd save time if I met you here." "I mean, all you gotta do is give me the drugs I need." "Give you the...." " You can't be serious." " Sure I am, doc." "The chief has a fever, see?" "And the stuff I've got isn't doing a thing." "I figure I'll give him some sulfa though or some penicillin perhaps and...." "Or maybe a little of both." "Look, Mills, obviously you're not a doctor..." " ...have you had any medical training?" " I've taken some courses." "I spent three years in Korea." " What, in the medical corps?" " Combat medic." "Till I caught one in the leg." "It still bothers me too." "Look, give me the drugs I need." "The chief is a sick man." "And I can't help him from here." "Now, are you gonna take me to him or not?" " So it's like that, huh?" " Like that." "What's to argue?" "You can take a side-road over here." "Back it up and go that way." " Papa." "Where is Mr. Mills?" " He is coming." "Why did he leave?" "To get the magic medicine from the strange daktari." "What are we stopping outside of the village for?" "Chief is sleeping." "Do you mind if my patient gets some rest?" "Come on." " Asai." " Mr. Mills." "I got good news, man." "Daktari brought the medicine I sent for." "This is Asai, the chief's son." "Since you left, death has come a step nearer." "May I examine your father?" "Don't worry, Asai." "That medicine's gonna push death clear across the hill." "Trust Mr. Mills, you'll see." "Come on, everybody out." "Please wait outside." "Mr. Mills will make our chief well." "Well, I wasn't wrong, was I?" "A little penicillin ought to knock out that bug in no time." "Only it's not a bug." "Don't you recognize the symptoms?" "Heavy breathing, acetone breath." "He's in a diabetic coma." "Diabetic coma?" "You gotta be kidding." "A coma from diabetes coming on so fast at his age?" " It can happen at his age." " But that means insulin." "That's right." "If he doesn't get it soon, he's going to die." " I've gotta call Wameru right away." "MILLS:" "Daktari." " What is wrong?" "Tell me!" " Nothing." "Nothing at all." " Your friend, where is he going?" " We had to order some new drugs." "But you said before...." "I know, but I just thought of something better." "I won't be long." "This is Marsh to Wameru." "Marsh calling Wameru." "Do you read?" "Over." "Marsh calling Wameru." "Do you read?" "Over." "[OVER RADIO] Marsh calling Wameru." "Do you read?" "Over." "Jack, come in, please." "Do you read?" "Over." "Jack, come in, please." "Do you read?" "Over." "All right, Judy, we're coming." "I'll take those stamps if you don't mind." "Daktari, Jack is out working with the poultry vaccine." " This is Mike." "Did you contact Mr. Mills?" " Yes, I did." "I'll fill you in on that later." "Mike, the chief is very sick." "Now, I need some insulin, intravenous fluids and electrolytes right away." "Also, bring the secondary medical equipment and the supportive equipment as well." "Just a minute." "Have him take the trail along the river to where it joins Lake Tana." "You can meet there and transfer the stuff to your car." " Then go on to Utabi?" " Sure, doc." " Mike, did you get that?" " Got it, daktari." "Will do." "MARSH [OVER RADIO]:" "Okay, that's it then." "But hurry." "Out." "So?" "Seems that Mutabi could have taken me directly to the village..." " ...without having to wait for you, hmm?" " Right, doc." "You can't blame me for wanting to fly solo." "I've done it ever since I hit Utabi." "And it's made you a might big man around here." " Bigger than Korea, I bet?" " Bigger than I was in the United States." " What if the chief dies?" " You said the insulin would work." "It should." "That is, if it gets here in time." "Well, since you're so expert at playing witch doctor you must know the rules of the game, including the penalty for the loser." "If you fail, do you know what happens to you?" "To me, or to you?" "MIKE:" "Any sign of Jack?" " No, haven't you been able to raise him?" "No." "The condenser must have conked out again." "I don't know how we're going to get this stuff to Utabi unless I go." "I thought you were supposed to take care of Sarang." "That's right." "I have to check her at least once every hour without fail." "Oh, dear." "If you won't be able to go to Utabi, I guess, I'll just have to go." " By yourself?" "Out of the question." " I know the way and I'll take Clarence." "MIKE:" "What protection is that?" "Well, he looks like a lion and that's good protection." "So is Judy." "Anyway, it's an emergency, or at least Dad seems to think so." "Of course, if you don't agree...." "I agree." "Okay, the sooner I get started, the better." "Come on, Clarence." "I'll get him." "Okay, Paula." "My father was a wise man, Mutabi, but his son is a fool." " Asai is not a fool." " I am." "I still hope." " But it is too late." " Not too late." "Mr. Mills will keep word to Asai." "Judy, let me drive." "[GROWLS]" "Do you mind if I sit this one out, doc?" "My leg's killing me." "Your own diagnosis again?" "Yeah, sure." "Okay, doc." "That's far enough." "I took infantry basic training before I became a medic." " I won a sharpshooter's medal." " That happens to be a dart rifle." "Hold it." "I know all about dart rifles and the way they react on animals and people." "What are you trying to pull now?" "Anybody can administer 2 cc's of insulin." "So, what do I need you for, buddy boy?" "I'll pick up the supplies from your people." "Now, back off." "I'll leave your rifle in case you run into any of your wild animal friends." "Sorry, doc." "You may be sorrier than you think." "[SARANG GROANS]" "PAULA [OVER RADIO]:" "Calling Wameru Compound." "This is Mobile Unit 121, Paula Tracy." "Come in, please." "Paula, this is Mike." "Where are you?" "Near Utabi, the western edge of Lake Tana." "Dad isn't here yet." "I haven't been able to raise him." "MIKE [OVER RADIO]:" "Let me try." "I'll call you back." "Wonder where he is, Judy." "[JUDY GIBBERING]" "MIKE [OVER RADIO]:" "Mobile Unit 246, this is Wameru Compound." "Do you read me?" "Daktari, come in, please." "[PANTS]" "Wameru Compound calling Paula Tracy." "Do you read me?" "Yes, Mike." "What's the word?" "Nothing so far, Paula, but I'll keep trying." "Thanks." "Buzz me when you can." "Well, Judy, how would you like a little stretch?" "[JUDY GIBBERS]" "Okay, Clarence, I'll take you for a walk as soon as Dad gets here." "Should be getting here pretty soon." "Hey, Clarence, here comes Dad." "[GIBBERS]" " Ms. Tracy, I'm Mr. Mills." " I was expecting my father." "Yeah, I heard you on the radio." "That fellow in Wameru too." "I would have answered, only I didn't know how to work it." "Where is my father?" "Is he all right?" "Sure." "He's so busy that he had to send me to pick up the supplies." " If you'll just tell me what to take." " Oh, I'll be glad to." "[JUDY GIBBERS]" "Shh, Judy." "She just wants your attention." "[ROARING]" "Oh, that's Clarence." "Don't worry, he's a pet." "Yeah, well, noticing him is easy." "MIKE [OVER RADIO]:" "Wameru Compound calling daktari." " This is Wameru." "Do you read me?" " Oh, I'll get that." "The kit Dad wants is in the front..." " ...and the IV stand is behind the seat." " Thanks." "MIKE:" "Daktari, this is Mike at Wameru." "Come in, please." "Mike, this is Paula." "We can relax now." "Dad's still at Utabi and Mr. Mills is making the pickup for him." "Okay, Paula." "Check with me when you're ready to head back." " Over and out." " Right, will do." "PAULA:" "Oh, Mr. Mills." "Could I follow you to the village and lend you a hand?" "Your dad said for you to return to the compound." "I'll tell him you rated gold star anyway." "PAULA:" "I wish you luck." " Thanks." "It'd be rough if it ran out now." "Judy." "Judy, where are you?" "Clarence, have you seen Judy?" "Oh, how could you?" "You can't even see your nose." "Gee, could she have gone with Mr. Mills?" "[JUDY GIBBERING]" "What are you doing here?" "There's no hitchhikers on this run." "Beat it, chimp." "Beat it." "I said beat it, chimp." "[JUDY GRUNTING]" "[JUDY GIBBERING]" "Judy." "Judy." "Judy, how did you get here?" "Who brought you, huh?" "Mike?" "Jack?" "Paula?" "[CAR ENGINE REVS]" "Dad." "Judy." "Here I go looking for Judy and find you." "Mr. Mills said you were at the village." " You've met him?" " Yes." "He picked up the supplies." "I asked if I could follow and he said no, you wanted me at the compound." "He knows all the tricks." " Are you going back to the village?" " Yes, as fast as we can." "He's afraid he'll lose face if he gets help, but he's gonna lose his patient." " You have the medicine?" " Right here." "This'll do it." "Alcohol, Mutabi." "[GASPING]" "What's happening?" "Why is it too hard for him to breathe?" "Oxygen." "That'll help him." "Come on, Mutabi." " Mr. Mills." " Let me go, Asai." "Every second counts." "For you too, Mr. Mills." "It's in back of the truck." "Shh." " Sound like truck." " Get going, Mutabi." "I'll be along in a minute." "Hurry." "I'm getting tired of this game you're playing" "Now, wait a minute, doc." "I know what you think, but the chief is dying." "You gotta help." " Dying?" "Didn't you give him insulin?" " Yeah, 2 ccs and he went into shock." " Come on." "PAULA:" "Judy, you stay here with Clarence." " How's Sarang?" " Doing fine." "There's plenty of tiger left in the old girl." " Good." "Where are our doc and daughter?" " Still out with Mr. Mills." " What, a patient of his in bad shape?" " Mm-hm." "All I know is they took the equipment, which means they expect trouble." "Get that oxygen mask on him fast." " Where's that insulin?" " Right here in your kit." " This isn't insulin." " Well, that's what the label says." "No, insulin comes in brown, lightproof bottles." "Here, like this." " That's glucose." "Concentrated glucose." " Must have mixed up these labels." "Who was in this kit and mixed these labels?" " Judy must have done it." " But if I gave him glucose...." " You did." " But with what he's got, that's poison." " That's right." " Doc, I didn't know." " Tell it to the chief, if he lives." " Asai." "You heard him." "It was a mistake." " I thought I was doing the right thing." " Go." "Leave this place or I will kill you." " Now." " Listen, please." "Daktari will save him." "If my father dies, I will kill you." "I will hunt you down and spear you like a wild dog." " I swear it." " Asai, I...." "Go!" "Hurry up with those fluids." " Daktari, can you save him?" " I don't know, Asai." " If his heart is strong enough." " My father is a warrior." "Well, then he will continue to fight and so will we." "Thank you, daktari." "Mr. Mills." "Better not let Asai catch you with me, pal." "I'm taboo around here, savvy." "I been given my walking papers." " But where will you go?" " Not far, if the chief dies." "It will be bad if you leave, Mr. Mills." "All the village will be sorry." "Yeah?" "Tell them they'll be getting back all the things they gave me." "The hut, the livestock, it'll all be theirs now." " That ought to cheer them some." " But your tools, your medicines?" "They're yours, Mutabi." "Just like I took over from Omanu, it's your turn now." "You be the witch doctor, okay?" " But what do I know?" " Ten times more than Omanu." " You learned plenty working with me." " That is so." "And do me a favor." "I'm gonna spend the night over in the clearing." "If anything happens to the chief, let me know, huh?" "Yes, Mr. Mills." "And if he dies, tell Asai where to find me." "That will save us both a lot of trouble." "Paula, you better call Mike." "Tell him we'll be gone at least a couple of days." "Come on, boy." "Come on." "Come on, boy." "That's it, come on." "Come on, boy." "Come on." "Prince, come here." "Come here, now." "Come on, eat." "Come here." "Wameru Compound, this is Paula Tracy." "Do you read me?" "Come in, please." "Paula, this is Mike." "You heading for home now?" "No, I'm here at Utabi with Dad." "Chief's condition is critical, we'll be here for another day or two at least." "Is there anything you need?" "Jack is back, do you want him?" "No, there's no need but stand by just in case." "Over and out." " You'll need this, it's getting dark." " Oh, thank you, Paula." " Any response?" " No, not yet." " I'll fix the sleeping bags by the truck." " All right." "Don't imagine I'll get much sleep, though." "Pretty touch and go right now." "[CLARENCE GROWLS]" "Tunnel, let's take this off for a minute." "Good." "We can lose the oxygen now." " Mutabi." " The chief...." "He's coming along all right." "I just wondered if you'd get Paula for me." "I'm gonna need her help." " Yes, daktari." " Thank you." "Judy!" "[GIBBERING]" "No, Judy." "Keep away." "Bad spider." "Very bad." "It can kill." "Mutabi, the spider bit me." "You have spider bite?" "Quick, we go to daktari." "Daktari." "Daktari!" "Daktari!" "Daktari!" "Daktari!" "MARSH:" "What happened?" " Spider bite her, daktari." " The spider that kills." " Get my bag in there, quick." "Open that bottle of alcohol." "Put some on this." "We'll put a little here." "Then you'll be all right." "Little anti-venom." "[MOANING]" "Hold her just easy." "Easy." "Easy." "MARSH:" "And nothing helps, Jack." "I've tried everything." "Calcium gluconate, sedatives, everything in my kit and I can't help her." "I can't even bring down her fever." "She's burning up." "Her temperature's 104 plus." "[OVER RADIO] Her pulse is...." "Well, it's just too fast." "Marsh, if you could just give us a better description of that spider." "I can't." "I haven't even seen it." "All I know is what Mutabi told me." "It looks like a tarantula and it's called the spider that kills." " Has Hedley found out anything yet?" " Uh, no, he hasn't." "There's an expert in Agoro who knows of a spider like that but he can't add anything very helpful." "Well, what does he say?" "Well, come on, Jack." "Tell me." "JACK:" "Well, he says there's no known cure but it may be an entirely different species." "Well, contact anyone, anywhere that you can." " There must be some antidote." " We'll keep on it." "Anything else?" "MARSH:" "No, not now." "Out." "Daktari can find no medicine strong enough?" "No, not yet." "Old witch doctor have powder for spider bite." " Witch doctor?" " He means Omanu, daktari." "He has been dead a long time." "Before he die, he tell Mr. Mills how to make powder." " What sort of powder?" "What's in it?" " Root, tree moss." "He grind them up." "Then what does he do, make a poultice, apply it and draw out the poison?" "MUTABI:" "Yes, daktari, yes." "I see him cure woman like that." "Same spider bite." "Make her very sick." "Mr. Mills save her with powder." " Mutabi, can you make this powder?" " Only Mr. Mills." "Oh." "Mutabi!" "You believe him, daktari?" "Well, Asai, there are remedies like that." "But you are daktari." "If you cannot cure, how can Mr. Mills?" " Want me to go with you?" " Oh, there's no sense." "I don't know what either of us can do for Paula." "We just can't sit around and wait, that's all." "But it is the same spider." "You can cure her." "All right, Mutabi, all right." "You believe it, I believe it, but he won't." "And if you think I'd go back there anyway after Asai" "Then she will die, Mr. Mills." "You know that." "Put out the fire." "I'll get my things." "Well, he's holding his own." "[JUDY GIBBERING]" "I know, Judy, but we're doing all we can." "How is she, daktari?" "Well, I'm afraid her heart is not as strong as your father's." "Mr. Mills." " Daktari, Mr. Mills is ready." " Yeah, doc." "It's right here." "A prescription the medical journals never heard of." "Please, daktari." "You better ask him too, while you're at it." "Well?" "What's your verdict?" "My neck or hers?" "Mills, you must have a lot of faith in that prescription or you wouldn't have come back here." "I'm convinced." "You're wrong to trust him, daktari." " If that is your choice" " It is." "Mutabi, you better stay with chief." "Let's hope this concoction of yours is as good as you say." "I don't know what Mutabi told you, doc, but I can't guarantee anything." "I'm not asking for a guarantee, Mills." "Just do what you can." "Sure, doc, but you'll have to give me a hand." "That wound has to be opened up so the powder can do its work." "All right." "How long does it take before we get a reaction?" "I don't know but if it works, it'll be fast." "Mutabi." "Death has taken a long step from his side." "For that, we can thank daktari." "[JUDY GIBBERS]" " Enough?" " Yeah." "Okay, here, a bandage." "All right." "I've done all I can do, doc." " Well, let's just hope it breaks the fever." "MILLS:" "I've been pretty lucky with it so far." "Could have been the powder or maybe they got well in spite of it." "Well, at least that's honest enough." "And if I'd played it that way before, none of this would have happened." "I'm sorry, doc." " Daktari?" "Daktari?" " Go ahead, I'll watch her." "Excuse me, Judy." "This is daktari, Father." "It is he who made you well." "[SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]" "Well, Asai, you still feel the same?" "That Mr. Mills is all wrong and that you're still right?" "For your sake, daktari, I hope that is not so." "Doc." "Hey, doc." "Doc!" " Yeah?" "MILLS:" "The fever broke." "What?" "Well." "Heh, heh." "Hello, young lady." "About time you came around." "Well, doc, I guess my pass is up." "Maybe I'll run into you again." "Wait a minute, Mills." "Uh...." "Look, I'd like to know what's in that concoction." " It worked, you know?" " Maybe so." "If I could have a sample of it I could run some tests." "Be my guest." "I'll leave it all with Mutabi." " Thanks." " I should have let him in on it sooner." "Then he wouldn't have had to go looking for me." "So long, doc." "ASAI:" "Mr. Mills?" "It is good that Mutabi did find you or I would have made a big mistake." " What does that mean?" " Stay, Mr. Mills." " I think that would be a bigger mistake." " What?" "Why?" "Well, if you went back to school and got your degree then you could help these people the way I know you want to." "Degree?" "Have you got what it takes to be a doctor?" " Or is "Mister" the best you can do?" " I don't know." "Well, I guess you're right, doc." "Ought to take the time to find out, huh?" "[JUDY GIBBERING]" "Hey, come on, Mr. Mills." "We'll be up at that airfield without a plane." "Good luck again." "This time, I don't think your luck will run out." "It better not." "You wrote that school some mighty fancy recommendations." " I hope I can live up to it, doc." " Well, I'm not worried about that." "And if you see Judy and Clarence anywhere, give them my best." "Oh, my goodness." "Judy." "Where is she?" " Now what has she gotten herself into?" " Don't bother to ask." "[GIBBERING]" "PAULA:" "The storeroom." "There won't be a label left in it." "[LAUGHING]" "[CLARENCE GROWLS]" "Judy." "Come here." "Come on." "Get up here." "Well, Paula, she's all covered with glue." "You're gonna have to clean her up." "I'm afraid you'll have to clean up Clarence too." "Uh, and while you're at it, don't forget daktari." "ALL:" "Ha-ha-ha." " Huh?" "Well." "Oh, great." "Hey, Mr. Mills." "You do have a plane to catch." " See you folks around." " Good luck."
