"[CHITTERING]" "[ROARS]" "[GROWLING]" "Ready, Mr. Cruikshank?" "Okay." "Thank you, Dan." "Now, we've got a leopard, vultures, baboon, springhaas..." " ...bush baby and an African lion." " Fine." "My hometown zoo will be vastly improved with these." " Good." " I'll make a quick physical check on them." " Then I'll be on my way." " All right." "Let's start with this one." " Come here." " Is he tame enough to handle?" "Oh, he's my baby." "Come here." "Come here." "[SHRIEKS]" " You call that tame?" " Aw, he's a bit excitable, but he'll be all right." "Yeah, okay." " Ha, ha!" "Eric Lansing, how are you?" " Penrose, you made it." "Oh, it's good to see you." "I got that note to meet you." "I couldn't believe it." "How'd you get out?" "Figured I'd have to visit you..." " ...at the territorial prison." " How do you think?" " You broke out?" " No." " A little fancy bribery, maybe?" " You wouldn't guess it in a hundred years." " Good behavior." " Oh, come on." "Ha-ha!" "When I wanna accomplish something, I accomplish it." "One of the first things I wanna do is make money." "Yeah." "Since Marsh Tracy caught me trying to kidnap his flea-bitten lion threw me in jail, it's been tough on the pocket book." "Yeah, yeah, and you're not the only one, Eric." "I'll tell you, the good old days around here are gone." "Since all the animals headed into Wameru Reserve, there's" "There's nothing around here but zoologists, camera safaris." " The day of the professional hunter's over." " I've heard about it." "I still wanna buy me a good hunting rifle." "Come on." "CRUIKSHANK:" "Dan." "These animals look hale and hearty, but take a look at this one." " What's wrong?" " Look at the lion's eyes." "Hey, you sell me a good hunting rifle?" "Let me finish with this gentleman, and I'll talk to you about a gun." "The lion's got cataracts." "You shouldn't let natives pass off beasts like that on you." " He does at that." "DAN:" "I'm sorry." "I can't accept him, Dan." "I'll have a good one for you inside a week." "CRUIKSHANK:" "All right." "I'll stop by on my way home." "And I'll pick up all the animals." "What'll you do with him?" "I don't know." "He's no good to me." "I guess I'll turn him loose." "Too bad." " Well, I'll see you next week." " All right, fine." "Now, you wanted to see a good hunting rifle?" "No, make that a hypo dart rifle I'll give you $15 for the lion." " Eric, have you gone mad?" " How about it?" "A hundred dollars for both of them." "Good used hypo dart rifle, that useless old beast." "All right." "I'll find you a good gun." "A hypo gun?" "Are you going into the zoo business?" "Harry, when fortune smiles on you, smile back, my boy." "This staggering old beast with cataracts is gonna be our salvation." "Ever see the pugmarks marks on a lion with eye trouble?" "Well, yeah, but so what?" "They're widespread, uncertain and very distinctive you only find them around defenseless game, right?" "Right, but I" "You know of another lion with pugmarks like that?" "Well, only one." "Marsh Tracy's lion, Clarence." " You hit it right on the nose." " I hit what on the nose?" "How to make Daktari Marsh Tracy lose his license." "To bring free hunting back to this area, get the professional hunter in there again." "Eric, I don't follow you." "What you need's a good stretch in prison, my friend." "It sharpens the wits." "Clarence is gonna completely destroy the Wameru Compound." "Oh, yeah?" "How?" "Ruining its reputation, its reliability." "Ha, ha." "I'm gonna enjoy this." "Yes, sir, Clarence is going to act in a most unusual way." "The very gentle Clarence is gonna become a killer." "Out you go." "Come on." "Come on." "Thattaboy." "Come on." "Don't be bashful." "Don't be bashful." "There you go." "Dad, we're gonna measure some elephant prints." " Can't I take Clarence and Judy?" " Oh, not today, honey." "No, I think Clarence has spring fever or something." "He's been moping around all morning." "You know, he has been." "I'll check him out when we get back." "You got a cure for a lazy lion?" "MIKE:" "Maybe he needs an outside interest." "MARSH:" "Like, something useful to do?" "JACK:" "Yeah, we all need to feel useful." " Yeah, like did you bring the sandwiches?" "They're in the truck." "Bye, you guys." "See you soon." "[CHITTERS]" "Now, look here, young lady." "You can't go everywhere we do, you know." "[WHOOPS]" "You'll make yourself useful by staying here, keeping Clarence company till Mike gets back from the 'Goro, understand?" "Good girl." "I put a nausea pill in the lion's breakfast this morning." "Unfortunately, he'll be all right by tonight." " Wait here for me." " Okay." "Easy, Clarence." "Easy." "Get." "Harry, come on." "Harry, let the lion hit the village from that side." "[ROARING]" "[SHRIEKING]" "[LION ROARING LAMBBRAYING]" "Oh, boy, Penrose." "Bull's-eye!" "All right." "Now, come on, we've got work to do." " Let's get us another carcass." " All right." "Well, according to those tracks the elephants seem to be getting longer and stronger." "I was wondering." "Suppose you crossed an elephant with a giraffe." "What do you think you'd have?" "A nightmare." "Let's go home." "[BOTH SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]" "Look at this." "Pulled his stake right out." "Must be feeling better." " I guess." "PAULA:" "Judy?" "Judy." "Where have you been?" "You were supposed to be watching Clarence." "[CAR APPROACHES]" "[BOTH SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]" "Tie that lion up, Marsh!" " Do what?" " Tie him up!" "Clarence has killed a lamb in that girl's village." "MARSH:" "Hedley, that's not a funny joke." "I'm not joking, Marsh." "She saw it." "She saw Clarence, she saw the chain." "I didn't believe it myself at first, but there's two dozen other witnesses." "A dozen?" "That can't be." "You know Clarence as well as we do." "Yes, I do, but I know the villagers too." "They're not given to falsehoods." " We've got serious trouble, Marsh." " Marsh, look at this." " Jack, get a slide." " Right." "It can't be." "It's gotta be paint or something." "We were painting the sign yesterday, there's red paint behind the lab." "JACK:" "Marsh!" "Jack, get the slides anyway." "I wanna take some smears." "Judy." "Judy, did you see Clarence go away?" "[CHITTERS]" "Are you sure?" "I can't take Judy's word that Clarence didn't leave here." "I can." "Her word's as good as mine." "Oh, Paula." "Well, there's something wrong here." "We just gotta find out what." "Now, don't worry." "We'll get on it right away." "Here." "Don't be blinded by your affection for Clarence." "Stranger things have happened." "Now, this isn't easy for me to say but you know the law as well as I do, better than I do sometimes." "Clarence is gonna have to be destroyed." "Hedley, at least give us time to work on it." "I'm sorry, but the law's the law." "A killer is" " Hedley, we haven't proved that yet." " I'm afraid we have, Marsh." "I am supposed to know something about this sort of thing." "Now, we both want the truth." "So let me try to prove it out, one way or another." "I'm not going against regulations, Marsh." "Can't we cage him until we investigate this?" "At least let us check it out." "Clarence could've found that carcass, dragged it in there..." " ...but I'm positive he didn't kill it." " Very well." "Out of my friendship for you and Clarence, I'll bend a little." "But he'll have to remain locked up." "I'll keep the key." "That's fair enough." " Marsh." " Yeah." "The stains on Clarence, the blood from the goat, they match." "Oh, no." "That doesn't seem possible." "Take him to the cage, please." "Try to understand, Paula, I'm being as lenient as I dare to." "Wouldn't want to be responsible if Clarence attacked a child next time, would you?" "How would you feel?" "You know as well as I do, Paula, that a lion with bad eye sight can only go after lambs or baby goats or children." "I'll leave after he's locked up." "Well, I'm no lip-reader, but your little plan just blew sky-high." "They won't kill him." "They're putting him in a cage." " Didn't count on that, did you?" " Come on." "Take it easy." "Don't use your power to think." " Our luck is still running with us." " Oh, yeah, you're a great one for luck." "The reputation of that compound hasn't been hurt one bit." "So we'll hurt it a little bit." "You know, Marsh Tracy doesn't wanna lose Clarence, does he?" "And we've already established his reputation as a killer." "What happens to the reputation of the compound if Clarence kills Daktari?" "Heh." "No Daktari, no compound, we can go back to making a living again." "Yeah, that's a great idea." "Except that tired old pussycat wouldn't hurt a flea." "Maybe not." "But I've got a way to make Clarence kill Daktari." "[TRUMPETS]" "MARSH:" "I drew these up for comparison." "As you know, a normal lion walks directly towards his prey his claws making a distinct pattern." "Clarence has an irregular pattern, like this." "MIKE:" "The lion at the village had an irregular pattern." "JACK:" "They're not quite the same though." "This one seems to tow out more on the left, Clarence on the right." "Yeah, but it's disturbingly close, and the difference could be the terrain." "Well, it doesn't look good, I'm sorry to say." "In spite of the fact that I don't believe it at all." " You couldn't find any traces of hair?" " Not a strand, Marsh." "But he wasn't in the area alone, I feel sure." "Clarence, please eat your dinner." "Judy." "Judy, see if Clarence will take it from you." "[GROWLS]" "Clarence, you have to eat something." "Dad, he just wants to die." "Ever since he's been locked in this cage, he hasn't eaten a thing." "He's just given up." " He doesn't wanna live." " Being cooped up has hit him pretty hard." "You know, animals suffer from changes in their status, just like human beings." "Found out anything new about what happened?" "No, not yet." "I'm gonna start on the village tomorrow." "Is it possible for an animal with Clarence's gentle personality to revert to the wild so suddenly, without warning?" "Well, I've seen it happen once or twice, but not without provocation." "Clarence hasn't been provoked." "Plus, I don't think he could be provoked to do something that extreme." " That's what baffles me." " Me too." "Well, it's been a rough day." "Come on." "Let's go inside." "They're going in." "[JUDY CHITTERS]" "[CLARENCE GROWLS JUDYCHITTERS]" "Bring the hacksaw." "Come on, Harry." "Hurry up." "Hurry up." "All right." "We gotta be quick." "Not so much noise." "You'll wake everybody." "Yeah, good, good." "That's it." "You don't need the rope." "He's already got the chain on." "[BOTH GRUNT]" "[SHRIEKS]" "Now, look." "We've lost him." "Don't worry." "We won't have trouble tracking that lion." "I'm gonna get that interfering chimp too." "Come on." "Harry, the hacksaw, the hacksaw." "Marsh!" "Marsh!" "Marsh!" "Marsh!" "Oh, Hedley." "Isn't this a little early for you?" "This is no time for pleasantries." "What do you know about this?" " About what?" " About Clarence being gone." "You gave me your word, Marsh." "MARSH:" "You see anyone around this cage?" " No." " How did the pitchfork get here?" " This was cut with a hacksaw." "Hey, where's Judy?" "Judy!" "Judy!" "Daktari, you don't think Judy could've done this?" "We have no proof that she did." "Mike, what about those new helpers we hired?" "I'll vouch for them." "Don't worry about guilty party." "We'll catch them later." "We're facing a crisis you must realize." "I'm ordering an immediate track-down, I'm calling out my askaris." " I shall want your help too." " Yes, of course, Hedley." "You two stay, in case Clarence returns." "Jack, get the dart rifle." " Right." "HEDLEY:" "No dart rifle, Jack." " Live ammunition." " What?" "Hedley, I've never used live ammunition in my life, and I don't intend to use it now." "If I bring down Clarence, it'll be with a tranquilizer." "Very well." "You do that, then I'll take over." "PAULA:" "Hedley, you can't." " Clarence is harmless." "I yielded to you against my better judgment, out of friendship." "Now he's loose." "My weakness might result in loss of life." " Dad, can't you do something?" " Jack, get the dart rifle." "You're not gonna let Hedley hunt down Clarence, are you?" "If we find Clarence, I'll try to stall him until I can think of something." "[JUDY CHITTERS]" "There they are, 50 yards off." "Give me the dart rifle." "I learned a few tricks working for the great Daktari." "Unfortunately, I couldn't resist what looked like easy money." "But it'll all even out now." "One of these in the scrawny hide of that wobbly-eyed lion, he'll sleep like a kitten." " Maybe I better cover you just in case." " Right." "Come on." "[ROARS]" "Give me the banana quick." "Yeah, this poison'll take care of that nosy little chimp." "All right." "Duck." "[CHUCKLES]" "Scratch one nosey chimp." "Heh-heh-heh." "Go get the truck." "All right, at ease." " We'll spread out from here." " Oh, Hedley." "Hedley." "Well, if we don't find Clarence, could be for a very good reason." "I have a feeling that Judy is with him, and if she is well, she's an absolute genius at playing hide-and-seek." "That's the wrong frame of mind for a track-down." "He's right, you know, it's not just an excuse." " She's clever, she could lead us" " I know you'll do the best you can." "For all our sakes." "So let's not waste any more time." "We'll search until I fire my flare gun or until we find Clarence." "LANSING:" "All right, let's get out of here." "[WHOOPING]" "[CHITTERING]" "[GROWLING]" "Try to be a little easier on yourself, Paula." "It isn't easy, Mike." "For all I know, Hedley's got Clarence in his sights this minute." "If Clarence sees Dad coming, he'll walk right out in the open." "Not if Judy's with him." "If so, Clarence will be safe." "Mike, what if Clarence really did do it?" "It'd be just terrible." "Everything we worked for would be wasted." "Mm." "MARSH:" "Well, we haven't seen hide nor hair of them." "Hedley is pretty unhappy." "More than unhappy." "Never seen him any grimmer." "Any new clues?" "Done everything we could around here, no clues." "Here he comes now." "We've failed and I've had to take steps." "No offense to you, Marsh but I'm going outside the compound for additional help." "Additional help?" "What sort of additional help?" "You may not like this." "I'm ordering the compound personnel off the search taking full responsibility myself." "It's become a government matter." "As soon as I'm provisioned I'm going back out and I'm going to stay out until I've got Clarence." "I see." "To make sure I don't fail this time, I've hired an expert and I was lucky to get him." "Do you mind telling me who?" "Here he comes now." "See for yourself." "I think you know Harry Penrose." "Hedley." "How did you happen to hire Penrose for this?" "Or did he volunteer?" "He's a good tracker and needs the work." "Why are you interested?" "Because he's a good friend of Eric Lansing's, who just got out of jail." "Of course he's out, but he's hundreds of miles away." " You know about this when you went to him?" " Not a word." "You're letting your concern affect your judgment." "All right, Penrose, we'd better get started." "Hedley, are you sure you won't reconsider and let Jack and me come along?" "I'd rather not, if you don't mind." "PENROSE:" "Hedley." "I heard you say you didn't want Marsh and his men to come on this hunt." "You don't think Daktari had anything to do with your not finding Clarence?" "No, not really." "But I have to consider what my superiors might think." "So, what?" "Look, it's his lion." "Now, he could be of great help." "Besides, two experts on a track are better than one." "Thanks very much, Penrose." "Come on, Hedley." "Let him come along." "If you can't trust Daktari, who can you trust?" "I saw a pride of lions this morning down by the Ruwala waterhole." "Clarence could very well have been among them." "It's gonna take more than one man to follow a running pride anyway." "All right, if it makes you both feel better." "Jack, we're going along." " Thanks, Penrose." " Think nothing of it." "Why don't you and I take one car." "Jack and Hedley can go in the other." "If we spot anything, we can get to work." "Good idea." "Fire a flare if you do." " Have each of you got flare pistols?" " In the truck." "HEDLEY:" "Right, let's get going." "Hey, Mike." "How's about getting on the radio see if any of the trading posts knows of another lion with eye trouble." "MIKE:" "Okay." "Paula." "There's always a chance that another lion could have the same kind of eye affliction as Clarence." "About one chance in a million." "We go on foot from here." "Waterhole's right over there." "It's unlikely that Clarence would be accepted by a group of strangers." "Even if he wanted to be." "Which is doubtful." "I've got a hunch and I'd like to follow it up." "I agree, it's worth following." "Still think it's a waste of time." "Beginning to be sorry I asked you to bring him." "It won't hurt to check it." "We can move on right afterwards." "How did you get the idea that another lion might be involved?" "Out of desperation." "I couldn't think of anything else." "Not a very good story, huh?" " I don't know." " You don't know?" "If there is another lion involved, it would answer a lot of questions." " Another lion with a chain, huh?" " Yeah." "Then there must be humans involved." "If there are, I can't figure what they have in mind." "Why would they want Clarence to escape?" "To make us look bad?" "No, it doesn't sound right." "Unless they wanted to destroy the compound." "Nothing at the waterhole, so let's get down to business." "Jack, come with me." "Hedley, why don't you take Jack and circle south to Urango?" "There's good lion feeding ground down there." "But it's 10 miles." "All right, take the car." "You can keep an eye out for our flares." "Nothing here for you to do anyway." "I suppose you're right." "Come on, Jack." "All right." "We'll start down this way." "[SHRIEKING]" "Daktari, why don't you scout south, southeast." "I'll take off this way." "Okay." " Daktari!" "Daktari!" " Yeah?" "Why don't you head a little more east?" "LANSING:" "Hold it, Daktari." "Stay right where you're at." "Well, well, well." "Lansing, huh?" "I had a hunch it couldn't be anyone else but you." "You're right." "Now drop the rifle." "Turn around." "You're not gonna need this where you're going." "You know, Daktari, you been asking for this for a long time." "Won't do you any good to yell your lungs out." "Your pals have all been detoured clear the other way." "[GROWLS]" "Get a mad on, you old beast." "That's no baby goat down in there." "[ROARING]" "Daktari." "When this old renegade gets ready to jump it'll be because he wants to." "[GUNFIRE IN DISTANCE]" "By the way, that was the dart you fired at the lion and missed him with." "You were always such a good shot too, Daktari." "They'll find the rifle in the pit with you." "Lansing, that lion's not going to jump into this pit." "He'll turn on you." "So you better keep him caged" "We're not dealing with the law of the jungle, Daktari." "We're dealing with the law of gravity." "You'll see, my friend." "He won't wanna jump without a little convincing, Daktari." "And when he spots you down in there all of his killer instincts are gonna be released on the greatest animal lover of them all." "Heh, heh." "Hey, Daktari." "Would you like to know what's gonna happen to you?" "After this old beast mangles you, I'm gonna hit him with a hypodart." "Then drag his carcass out of there and throw your pal Clarence in." "Along with your empty dart gun." "You and the reputation of your compound will go out, just like that." "Real hunters will be able to make a living again." "Ha-ha!" "Judy!" "Judy give it to me, come on." "Drop it!" "Judy, this it too small." "Judy, this isn't strong enough for a lion." "I need a big one." "Get me the big one, the large one." "Hey, get out of there." "[JUDY SHRIEKING]" " Hey, look." " Good." " They found Clarence." " Let's go." "Give me those keys!" "[ENGINE STARTS]" "Judy!" "Judy, throw it here." "Come on, give it to me!" "Judy, give it to me!" "LANSING:" "That won't stop me, Daktari!" "Won't be long now, Daktari." "You're gonna have company." "[LION ROARING]" "[JUDY CHITTERING]" "[LION MOANS]" "[JUDY SHRIEKING]" "[CLARENCE GROWLS]" "[GRUNTS]" "MARSH:" "Help!" "Hedley, no!" "[GUNSHOT]" "Jack, Hedley, if that's you, you're shooting at the wrong lion!" "Marsh!" "What on earth are you doing down there?" "And with Lansing?" "I tell you, Hedley." "Can you think of a better spot to snare a poacher and his catch than a poacher's pit?" "How's he doing?" "Well, see for yourself." "He's doing fine." "The operation cleared up his vision completely." "Clarence has been working with him." "That affection training's rubbing off." "You've done a wonderful job with him." "We don't deserve the credit, Clarence does." "With the sideline coaching from Judy, of course." "[CHITTERS]" "I dropped by to tell you that Lansing and Penrose confessed to the plot to close the compound." "Oh, really?" "Well, good." "Guess the firm of Lansing and Penrose will be working for the government for a while." "For a long while." "Marsh, I...." "I wanted to tell you how sorry I am that I ever doubted you." "Oh, forget it, Hedley." "I must admit, it didn't look too good for Clarence for a while." "Dad, do you realize that this time the animals ended up outside their cages and the humans, inside?" "Yes, Paula, it's a funny thing." "When man tries to corrupt animals, he can't." "He just ends up corrupting himself." "[English" " US" " SDH]"
