"[RHINOCEROS GROWLING]" "[GIBBERING]" "[LEOPARD GROWLING]" "[GROWLS]" "[GROWLS]" "[GROWLS]" "[GROWLING]" "[TIGER ROARS]" "There goes the bait." "Guess I'm ready for Dr. Marsh Tracy now." "There, you see?" "One tiger." " Which doubles the mystery." " What mystery?" "Reports of a tiger roaming free on the reserve." "Really?" "Oh, had to be someone seeing things." "Tigers are found only in Asia." "You know there aren't any in Africa." "Except yours, which is why I wanted to check." "Oh, they probably saw a leopard or something." "Nodoro?" "Several local hunters, solid, reliable people described the same animal." "Large as a lion, but striped like a zebra." "It frightened them." "An Asian tiger loose in Africa frightens me a little." "Well, I told them they were seeing things so they brought proof." "That could be a tiger print, but...." "Oh, Hedley, this is fantastic." "Where was he spotted?" "Over here." "On the far side of the gorge." "[JUDY GIBBERS]" "Pretty far back in the free area." "Oh, that's wild country." "Unmapped, mostly unexplored." "Unknown." "Dad, what if there were tigers there?" "You know, left over from the last land migration a thousand years ago." "Well, there are always legends about unknown animals." "And every now and then someone sees a living fossil of a creature that's supposed to be extinct but still roaming free." "Could be what we have here." "A living fossil." "Well, I've always wanted to have another look at that free area." " You three continue with your work." " Marsh, this time you'd better take a rifle." "Hedley, if I take a rifle, I'll only kill with it." "Well, good hunting anyway." "[JUDY GIBBERS]" "Compound." "Come in, compound." "PAULA [OVER RADIO]:" "Compound here." "Find anything, Dad?" "Over." "No, not yet." "I'll start looking for tiger tracks." "I'll call you back later." "Out." "Okay, Judy, old girl." "Let's see what we can find, huh?" "[RHINOCEROSES GROWL]" "[GROWLING]" "[JUDY GIBBERS]" "What's the matter, Judy?" "Find something?" "You did." "Judy, that's tiger." "You just earned yourself a great big banana split covered with chocolate syrup." "[JUDY GIBBERING]" "DRAKE:" "Dr. Tracy." "[GIBBERS]" "I'm delighted that you accepted my invitation." "Invitation?" "I'm sorry, I...." "Four-footed invitation." "Panthera tigris." "The tiger." "That's your tiger?" "I released him." "For any particular reason?" "What else would get Daktari out here so quickly?" "Oh, allow me to introduce myself." "Garvin Drake." "Oh." "The Garvin Drake." "The big-game hunter." "Sooner or later we had to meet." "But having a flair for the dramatic, I decided to call the shots." "I selected this arena." "Arena?" "Arena for what?" "You know, Tracy, for years you've been crusading throughout Africa persuading governments to close down open hunting areas turning them into closed game reserves." "Well, I got you out here to prove to you that your theory is built on a false premise." "Now, maybe once you're convinced, you're gonna get off my back." "I've never been on your back." "I've merely been pursuing a way of life." "Oh, I'm not just speaking for myself, Dr. Tracy but for all big-game hunters who have found a zest for life when closest to death." "Why don't you get your kicks out of Russian roulette..." " ...and leave animals out of this?" " You've never hunted, huh?" "Yes." "I hunt for specimens, but I never kill." "Is that for target practice?" "This is a hypodermic rifle." "It can hardly be called a weapon." "Your books claim that, but I don't believe it." "[GIBBERS]" "I'm afraid, uh, Judy resents you calling me a liar." "No, Mr. Drake, it's quite simple." "I avoid threatening animals and they don't threaten me." "It's amazing." "Frankly, I hoped so, I wanted it to be true." "For my experiment." "If you'd like to make an experiment along these lines you're welcome to use my compound." "I have all the facilities." "[CHUCKLES]" "No, not for my little test." "I'm sorry, you're losing me again." "Well, I mustn't lose you, Dr. Tracy." "Because for my experiment you are the experimental animal." "I'm sorry." "I'm just not available." "DRAKE:" "But I insist." "And I refuse." "Ah, ah, ah." "Very, very carefully." "I don't wanna harm you." "Now, please, put that rifle on the ground." "That's much better." "You won't be needing that, but you can keep your knife." "That you will be needing." "That's for part of this experiment?" "We're approximately four days by foot from your compound." "You're traveling there." "By foot." "What, to prove that I have a sense of direction?" "That you will face an animal attack." "And then suddenly, you're going to become a hunter like me." "And once you've made your first kill you're gonna suddenly become a completely different man." "One of us." "And then you're going to discover that every man is basically a hunter." "Perhaps." "But not a killer." "But that's my experiment, Dr. Tracy." "To expose you to wildest Africa and make you kill." "Uh, well, it won't work." "And I don't believe that if I turn my back and walk away, you'll use that thing." "Daktari." "[GIBBERS]" "[CHUCKLES]" "You know, you are absolutely right." "I don't wanna kill you." "[CHUCKLES]" "But I'd have absolutely no hesitation in killing your chimp." "[GIBBERS]" "MARSH:" "No." "Okay." "Well, get going." "On foot." "Northeast." "Oh, and I'll be right behind you." "Watching." "Come on, Judy." "[CHUCKLES]" "[SCREAMING]" "[TRUMPETS]" "[GORILLA GIBBERING]" "Daktari, how you get past the tribe of gorillas?" "Oh." "By respecting them." "Not disturbing them." "They're curious, but they're not vicious animals." "I'll show you." "Daktari." "You're not gonna avoid testing your theories." "You claim animals aren't dangerous, huh?" "Walk in a straight line, right past those gorillas." "[GORILLAS GIBBERING]" "[SNARLS]" "[GRUNTING]" "[GIBBERING]" "[CLICKS TONGUE THEN WHISTLES]" "[GRUNTING]" "[GIBBERING]" "That's impossible." "Well, there's only one animal that kills compulsively." "Man." "Especially a man like you, Drake." "That's what life really is all about, isn't it?" "A mortal struggle between a winner and a loser." "The loser always dies." "Get going." "[GIBBERS]" "[GIBBERS]" "[BOTH GRUNTING]" "[JUDY GIBBERS]" "[JUDY GIBBERING]" "Come in, Dad." "Come in." "I can't seem to raise him." "Why don't you give up with this radio business?" "You can't expect your father to be a disc jockey while he's out in the bush." "At this moment Daktari is probably enjoying the sunshine." "Mm-hm." "With the ever-suffering assistants stuck with the paperwork again." " Here, give him another snack." " Mm." "[GROWLS]" "Sooner or later, somewhere there's an animal waiting to attack you." "You're gonna be forced to kill and you'll be shocked to find yourself enjoying it, as I do." "I've hunted for food, Drake, but never for sport." "No, I regard killing as serious." "Not fun." "You're a queer duck, Tracy." "You really are trying to protect the animals on this reserve." "Create a sort of blessed veil, a Garden of Eden." "I plan to protect a place where animals can live and die normally and naturally and we can study them." "Well, perhaps you're right, though." "It is sort of a Garden of Eden." "Oh, it is." "I'm very much afraid I'm the reptile bringing you the bitter truth." "What, that animals kill when they're hungry?" "Hunger's just the excuse." "Animal's kill because they must." "Because we all must test ourselves against nature, lesser animals against other men." "The true test always ends with a death." "No, Drake." "A true test always produces an answer." "[GROWLING]" "[GROWLS]" "All right, Daktari." "Let's see if we can find an answer." "[GROWLING]" "[GROWLING]" "[GIBBERS]" "[GROWLING]" "[ROARS THEN GROWLS]" "[RHINOCEROSES GROANS THEN GROWLS]" "There's an answer for you, Daktari." "[RHINOCEROSES GROANS THEN GROWLS]" "[GIBBERS]" "[LAUGHING]" "[GROWLS]" "[GIBBERING]" "[RHINOCEROS GRUNTING]" "DRAKE:" "That was just a reminder, Daktari." "The experiment's always working." "Aye, aye, Drake." "Since I have no choice, I'll have to do a little experimenting of my own." "[GROWLING]" "[GIBBERS]" "Now, if we can just make those cliffs." "Judy, now take this vine up the hill." "Up you go." "Go on up." "Attagirl." "Attagirl, now." "Come on, take the vine up." "Judy, pick it up." "Go on up, hurry." "Attagirl." "Now, Judy, go on." "Judy." "Judy, put it over something." "Put the loop over something." "[GIBBERS]" "Good girl, Judy!" "[GIBBERS]" "[GIBBERING]" "Drake, this was supposed to be an experiment between the animals and me." "Now you're meddling in it." "Not really much you can do about that, is there?" "No, I guess not." "Daktari, got a lot more fight in you than I imagined." "Get moving." "[GIBBERS]" "[MARSH SIGHS]" "Okay, Judy." "[EAGLE SCREAMING]" "Come on, Judy." "[GIBBERS]" "I wondered if you'd spot it." "MARSH:" "I see him." "A wounded leopard will attack anything that comes near it." "You're including him in your experiment?" "DRAKE:" "Sure." "That leopard would attack a bull elephant." "[GIBBERS]" "Maybe, Drake." "But I don't think this one will." "He won't attack a friend, not when he needs help." "You're the doctor, doctor." "[GROWLS]" "A doctor can't refuse to treat a patient just because he's irritable." "Of course." "He'll tear you in half." "No, not this one." "I recognize him." "Yes, he's the same one I treated at the clinic." "DRAKE:" "That's absurd." "An animal has no memory." "Even if he did, a wounded leopard will attack instantly." "[GIBBERS]" "You see?" "[LEOPARD SNARLING]" "MARSH:" "Now, easy, boy." "Easy." "[GIBBERING]" "Easy, boy, easy, easy." "That's right." "It's all right." "Now, we're just gonna help you." "Easy now, easy." "Easy." "Easy." "I'm here to help you." "Come on now, calm down." "Yeah." "You get in a fight here, huh?" "It's only probably pretty painful but not too serious." "Let me just give you a little sulfa, huh?" "That should fix you right up." "Yeah." "There, she won't get infected." "[LEOPARD WHIMPERING]" "You see?" "He accepts help." "In that way, he demonstrates memory." "[GIBBERS]" "Easy, easy." "It's all right." "It's gonna" " Pain's gonna go away." "It's gonna be all right." "All right." "[LEOPARD GROWLING]" "Well, Drake will you concede me your experiment?" "Oh, not yet." "That was very impressive." "Yeah, but the great driving force in the jungle is hunger." "That's the real test." "What are you gonna do when you have to pass a hungry carnivore?" "Or for that matter, when you get hungry yourself?" "Well, there are always berries and grass and tree bark." "Come on, Judy." "Come on." "Go on." "Oh, you're not gonna shake me or lose me." "It's getting late." "It's not all that late." "He's probably waiting till nightfall to call in." "MIKE:" "Mm-hm." "I'll bet he's planning to sleep out, come back tomorrow." "But that wasn't his plan." "I'm worried." "What's to worry?" "He knows the game reserve as well as he knows the compound." "He probably ran into something interesting." "All right." "I think I'll go out and see what's so interesting." "Paula, you're not thinking." " It would be dark before you got there." " Right." "Let us do the thinking." "If, uh, he doesn't check in soon we'll take the truck first thing in the morning, have a look." "That a deal?" "All right." "I just wish he'd call in." "[GROWLS]" "This'll do just fine." "Come on, Judy." "There we go." "This ought to do it, Judy." "[SQUAWKING]" "[BRANCH CRACKS AND LEAVES RUSTLE]" "We got him." "[LAUGHS]" "Funny." "You'll hunt me." "That isn't against your principles." "No, Drake, I, uh...." "I still allow myself the luxury of self-defense." "Good, good." "I like that." "You'll need that." "Tracy, you're gonna have to kill." "Or be killed." "Because I guarantee you'll be the target of a very deadly animal." "Me." "[GIBBERS]" "So that's how the great sportsman hunts, huh?" "Just kills in cold blood." "[CHUCKLES]" "All right, Tracy." "I'll make it a real contest." "A truly exciting contest." "I'm gonna give you exactly one hour head start and then I'm gonna follow you." "Go on, run." "Be ready to kill." "Because I intend to kill you." "[LAUGHS]" "[EAGLE SCREAMING]" "[GIBBERS]" "Judy." "He's almost there." "[GIBBERS]" "No." "No, we'd better wait here, Judy." "That death pole gets him, he's gonna need medical help but fast." "Amateurish." "Come on, let's go this way." "[GIBBERS]" "[GIBBERING]" "[GROWLING]" "[GIBBERS]" "[GROWLS]" "[GIBBERING]" "What's the matter?" "All right, come on." "Let's go." "DRAKE:" "Daktari!" "[JUDY GIBBERS]" "As they say in the bullring a moment of truth." "If truth is murder." "But murder is just a word." "Life and death, those are the facts." "I could put an arrow right through you." " Yes, you could." " Don't move any further." "[GIBBERING]" "[GROWLING]" "A tiger." "Isn't that fitting?" "Tiger, tiger, burning bright." "He's the one that brought you out here to me." "Isn't it fitting that he should be here now?" "At your death." "[GIBBERS]" "[ROARS]" "Oh, no." "No, no, no, he's not going to attack." "He's fed recently." "He's just a big lazy cat." "Yes, but do you believe that?" "Of course I do." "I've hunted tiger, I know them." "Well, if you've hunted tiger, then you know they can vary in their habits." "[ROARS]" "You're just trying to unsettle me." "Now, that tiger is just curious, like all cats." "Only curious." "And he's gonna be absolutely fascinated when I shoot." "[SNARLS]" "[GROWLING]" "[BOTH GRUNTING]" "[GIBBERS]" "I'm gonna kill you, Daktari." "On my terms." "No, you had a chance to kill me, Drake." "But you fell into a trap instead." "You couldn't imagine a partnership between a man and an animal." "Judy and me." "That chimp." "Ugh." "[GIBBERING]" "[MARSH CHUCKLES THEN SIGHS]" "He couldn't understand, could he, Judy, huh?" "Just couldn't understand that we could cooperate." "And that he was all alone." "[GROWLING]" "DRAKE:" "Still don't understand it, Tracy." "I'm an expert hunter, you're just a doctor." "But you beat me at my own game." "From the beginning, I had the advantage over you." "In what way?" "Well, the sides weren't even." "See, there was always two of us." " Two?" " Yeah, Judy and me." "[GIBBERS]" "She was more useful than any weapon I could have had." "She's just an animal." "Well, to you she's just an animal." "A target, a trophy, something to be destroyed." "But, well, to me, she's quite a friend." "Off you go, Drake." "[ENGINE REVS]" "[English" " US" " SDH]"
