"Doesn't recognize you or any of us." "Judy, get in the truck." "(JUDY HOOTS)" "Don't give me any of your back-talk." "You heard me." "Get in the truck and hurry." "Judy seems to recognize him, so a good there's a chance that he'll recognize her and us." "Jack, he was loose in the bush and turned killer." "You know that he attacked that witch doctor of the Nairi tribe." "We have got to stop him." "(JUDY PROTESTS)" "Yeah, I know, but he was at the compound for over a month after he had that spear wound and when he left he was just as tame as Clarence." "We could dart him without any trouble." "Yeah, I know, Paula, but maybe we won't have to." "Let me just try to calm him down a little bit, huh?" "He's hungry and frightened." "He'll attack." "He's reverted, Jack." "Paula, what little I know about animal psychology tells me you can't be that sure." "Ok, Bambo, boy, take it easy, fella, we're gonna take you back to the compound." "What did you do that for?" "To keep you from getting mauled." "Mike, don't you realize what I was trying to prove?" "That you're stubborn?" "Well, he's out cold." "Paula, radio Marsh and tell him to have the new cage ready." "Tell him we're bringing Bambo in right now." "Well, can't we stay and look for Prince and Sarang?" "They've been gone for 2 days." "Look, Sarang is a stranger to the bush, but Prince is a smart dog." "He'll sniff his way home." "Yeah, Paula." "They always came back before." "Officer Hedley, this is Sergeant Kayunga." "Bambo the lion has been captured and is being held at the Wameru Compound." "Well, Bambo old boy," "I think you should sleep for a little while longer yet." "Ok, Judy." "Hey, uh, hey warden?" "How 'bout letting us outta here, huh?" "Oh, sure." "This new cage is like a bank vault." "Well, at least it's Judy-proof." "For once she can't help her friends escape." "You got all my reports in there?" " Yes, Dad." " I should be back by nightfall." "I'm just going to see the Commissioner of Health and the editor of the Science Quarterly." "Ok, I'll get you a thermos of coffee for your trip." "Oh, good, thanks." "Whoop." "Well, here's my paper for the Quarterly," "Studies on Human to Animal Rapport by Jack Dane." "Mm, ready to submit it now, huh?" "Well, yeah, I think my theory makes sense." "Well, it makes sense, but at the moment it's just a hypothesis." "You've got to have valid proof before you can accept it as a theory." "Marsh, I'd like to submit my paper too, on Primitive Instincts and Animal Behavior." "Have you got plenty of evidence to back up your, um, hypothesis?" "Oh, plenty." "Take Bambo, for instance." "Once a nicely trained animal." "Got back in the bush and reverted to his primitive self." "It could happen in a matter of days." "Oh, wait a minute." "There's a good chance that Bambo might've proved my theory if, uh, somebody hadn't gotten trigger happy." "Oh, how do you like that?" "I save his life and he accuses me of wrecking his experiment." "How do you like that." "Well, there's one thing you're both overlooking and that is element X." " Element X?" " Mm." "The unknown variable." "Just what was it that made Bambo attack that witch doctor?" "Incidentally, while he's still down you better, uh, take some blood samples and run some tests on him." "I'll take these along with me and, um, well, we'll see you all tonight." "See you later." "(JUDY CHUCKLES)" "Judy, stop teasing Bambo." "Who told you to go so near that cage anyway?" "Oh, I did, Mike." "Judy and Bambo used to be buddies and I'm trying to recreate the environment" "I worked with Bambo in before." "Ah?" "Well, what makes you think he'll respond to you now that he's reverted to the wild?" "Oh, well, uh, why don't you read my paper?" "I've got a carbon." "Oh, I know your ideas." "And they're interesting." "But unproven." "(JACK):" "Oh, really." "(MIKE):" "I've spent most of my life in the bush except for the time at the University of Nagoro." "And I assure you, you cannot truly evaluate animal behavior under laboratory or compound conditions." "You've got to study them out in the bush in their natural habitat." "Oh, I see." "Well, perhaps had you spent less time in the bush and more at the university, you would be aware of the value of a scientifically controlled environment when studying animal behavior." " Furthermore, I" " Excuse me, gentlemen." "Is this the Wameru Center or the local debating society?" "(JUDY LAUGHS)" "Yeah, well, uh, Mike and I do occasionally get carried away." "(THEY CHUCKLE)" " We only argue about" " Uh, bup. "Discuss."" "We only discuss our different scientific approach to the same problems." "But you discuss these scientific approaches with such enthusiasm." "My word." "(BAMBO ROARS)" "Now perhaps you could tell me when I can pick up Bambo here." "Well, Hedley, not 'til I, uh, take a good stab at trying to retrain him." "Hedley, eventually you'll have to return him to the bush." "I'm sorry, gentlemen, but my orders are to dispose of him." "(JUDY PROTESTS)" "What do you mean?" "Kill him?" "Those are my orders." "Oh, Hedley, you have no proof that that animal is a killer." "Marsh'll be back by nightfall." "Can't you wait until then?" "I suppose so." "My sergeant knows where I am and he can handle any emergencies 'til I get back." "Thank you." " New cage?" " Yeah." "Foolproof." "Spring lock." "It is also Judy-proof." "Takes a very special key to open this lock." "We keep the keys in this desk drawer right here." "Now, all of us here at the compound have keys to the drawer on our person at all times." "(BAMBO ROARS)" "He's a dangerous-looking cat." "(JUDY PROTESTS)" "Aw, Hedley, look, Bambo didn't kill anybody." "Yeah, I know he went after the witch doctor, but the point is, nobody was hurt." "All the more reason why he can be returned to the bush and live among lions again." "Or if I can re-establish my rapport with him, maybe he can be trained to live among humans again." "Oh, hi, Hedley." "Uh, look, Prince and Sarang still haven't returned." "They wandered off." "German shepherd and a fully grown Bengal tiger?" "Well, surely they can take care of themselves." "You were the one last week that warned us about those new poachers' traps." " They could've walked into one." " Don't worry, Paula." " Jack and I will help you find 'em." " Good." "Would you like me to come along in my jeep?" "No, no, Hedley, they never go far from the compound." "We'll track 'em on foot." "(JUDY HOOTS)" "No, Judy, you can't come along." "Why don't you go out and find Toto and bring her back here before she gets lost." "Why the medical kit?" "I'm sure they're all right." "Because my ESP tells me differently." "Uh, here, Hedley, this key unlocks the top desk drawer which holds the keys to the cages." "Don't let Judy get them." "But Paula" " Paula" "Oh, well." "Hm." "Poor old Prince and Sarang." "I do hope they're not in any trouble." "(BIRD CHIRP)" "(LION ROAR)" "Well, we've traveled 5 miles already and still no sign of 'em." "A dog and a tiger." "We can't miss them." "Yeah, let's try the waterhole, huh?" "(BIRD CHIRP)" "Hey, over here." "They're Prince's tracks." "They look fresh." "He can't be far away." "Well, what about Sarang?" "Well, if Prince is around here, Sarang should be too." "Hey, Prince, boy?" "Prince?" "Prince?" "Can you hear us?" "Prince, where are you?" "Prince?" "Prin" "Jack, Mike!" " What is it?" " It's Prince." "Over there." "Prince." "Don't, Paula." "You'll hurt him even more." "That has to be removed surgically." "We have to do something." "He's breathing hard." "Take it easy, Paula." "What kind of a tribesman would shoot an arrow at a friendly dog?" " Mike, give me the kit." " Yeah." "Wasn't a tribesman." "Look." "Arrow trap?" "Yes." "For catching wild game." "Prince must've walked into it." "How's his heart?" "It's very weak." "Then I'd better get some branches and make a stretcher." "Don't, Paula." "If we move him now this thing might penetrate his vital organs." "He could bleed to death." "Look, call Hedley." "Have him bring a truck." "Oh, I forgot to bring the walkie-talkie." "Well, look, we can't let him die." "(SIGHS) We'll have to remove it here." " You can't." " It's our only chance, Paula." "We've watched your father do it a hundred times." "But neither one of you has ever operated alone." "You've always assisted Dad." "But look, you don't have the experience or the skill to perform this kind of an operation." "Maybe we do, maybe we don't." "We'll have to find out." "Mike, you wanna do the honors?" "I'll take care of the anesthetic." "Paula, start a fire." "(YELPING DOG)" "Hey, don't worry, huh?" "Mike'll do a good job." "Thanks, Jack." "(ANIMAL SOUNDS)" "His heartbeat is weak, but it's still strong enough to risk taking the arrow out." "Good." "He's fully anesthetized?" "Yeah, he's out cold." "(SIGHS) You all set?" "Paula, maybe you'd better not watch." "No, he's my dog." "I'll be all right." "Well, are ready to operate, Doctor Makula?" "All set." "Oh, we don't have any soap." "How're you gonna scrub?" " Alcohol." " Ah." "Little more, please." "That's it." "Thank you." "Scalpel." "Hemostat." "That's it." "Right there." "(SIGHS)" "Thank you." "That's it." "(SIGHS)" "Another hemostat." "That's good." "It broke!" "You didn't get it all." "That's the way those native poachers build 'em, so the heads break off." "Why?" "If the animal should get the arrow out the head will kill the victim." "I'm gonna probe for the head." "Now let's hope it's not poisoned." "Poison?" "Do we have an antidote?" "No." "Well, at least we can prevent tetanus." "Give me a syringe and the serum." "Hurry up." "Hm." "(OWL SOUND)" "Hello Judy, Toto." "I was just cleaning my gun." "I have to keep it in good working order, you know." "I never know when I may need to use it." "(BAMBO ROARS)" "(SIGHS)" "Ah, Bambo." "I see you're up and about." "Good thing we have you behind bars, though." "That's the way, Bambo." "Eat your food." "Plenty of nourishment." "That's a good boy." "Judy, that's my gun barrel." "What did you do that for?" "(JUDY CHATTERS)" "Oh, I see." "You thought I was gonna shoot your friend Bambo here." "(JUDY HOOTS)" "Now, listen, old girl." "You're not in a position to judge such matters." "(BAMBO ROARS)" "Bambo, don't do that!" "Make me nervous." "Well, now how am I gonna get it back?" "Oh. (SIGHS) Oh." "Ah, perhaps this might do it." "Well, that's a fat lot of good." "(SIGHS)" "(OWL SOUND)" "Well, I suppose I shall just have to pop into the cage, get my gun barrel back and pop out again." "Oh, dear." "Now, Judy, these keys." "They stay in the desk drawer, you understand?" "Always in the desk drawer away from you." "Now, mind, Judy." "Now, Toto, Judy, I want you to be very quiet, 'cause I've gotta go in that cage and get back my gun barrel." "Quiet, Toto, very quiet." "Shh, Judy." "Now hold the door open for me please." "That's the way." "All right, Bambo." "All right, Bambo." "(BAMBO ROARS)" "Judy!" "Get the keys!" "Judy, bring me the keys back, please!" "Judy, bring me the keys, please!" "(BAMBO ROARS) Judy, bring me the keys, please!" "Nobody's going to hurt you." "Oh, Judy, thank goodness." "Just give me the keys." "There we go." "It won't turn!" "I'm sure that's the key." "Oh, perhaps it's this one." "Now, let's try it." "There." "Oh!" "It won't turn." "I'm sure it was that key." "The one at the top." "Well, maybe it's this one." "It's very likely." "Now, let's see." "Oh!" "It's jammed in the lock now." "(BAMBO ROARS) (THE CHIMPS REACT)" "Judy, quiet." "Quiet." "Toto, quiet." "If I was found in a cage with a lion, dead, that I'm meant to be investigating I'd never be able to live it down." "You do see what I mean, don't you, Judy?" "Oh, dear." "Dear." "(TOTO SCREECHES) (BAMBO ROARS)" "Oh!" "Oh." "All right, Bambo." "All right." "(SIGHS) Oh." "Oh, dear." "Well, there it is." "You think it's poisoned?" "Can't tell." "Better save it for Marsh to study in case it is." "Paula, let's have the sutures so I can sew this up." "Well, Mike, you may not know much about animal reversion, but you did a pretty good job as a surgeon your first time out." "Thanks, Jack." "But we're not out of the woods yet." "(BIRDS SOUND)" "The scent of blood." "(HYENA SOUND)" "Uh-oh." "That's not all it brought." "Hey!" "Ha!" "Scram!" "Yay!" "Ha!" "Hey!" "(SIGHS) Well, hyena's gone." "Yes, but there'll be others." "Lions, leopards..." "Sarang's out there." "Can't we go find him?" "There's no time." "We've got to finish up and get out of here as fast as we can." "Few more stitches and we've got it." "I can't hear his heart." "Give me those." "He's not breathing." "He's dead." "(ANIMAL SOUNDS)" "Yeah, he's still alive." "There's a heartbeat." "Just a murmur." "If only we had a mechanical resuscitator." "(SIGHS) Yeah, but we don't." "Can't massage the heart with that wound there." "Paula, get that tracheal tube." "Hurry up." "His heart is stronger." "Let's see if he can breathe without help." "He's breathing again." "(SIGHS)" " Nice work, Jack." " Thanks, Mike." "Well, there'll be no business around here for them today." "The heartbeat's getting weaker." "Think the blood pressure's dropping." "Adrenaline." "Try intravenous injection." "It might not reach the heart in time." " Let's try inter-cardiac puncture." " (SIGHS) Yeah." "Paula, do we have a hypodermic long enough?" "Yes, but have you ever done one before?" "No, but I've never taken out an arrow tip either." " Paula, get it." " Ok." "(RHINO SOUNDS)" "(SIGHS) It's ok, Paula." "He'll pull through." "Are you sure?" "Paula, in matters of life and death, only God knows for sure." "(SIGHS) I'm sorry, Mike, I shouldn't have asked." "Guess we're doing everything we can for Prince." "But what about Sarang?" "He could be out there with an arrow in his side." "Paula, you're worrying needlessly." "Well, he's been gone for 3 days." "He probably hasn't eaten." "Do you think it's gonna change him any?" "I'm afraid I'll have to leave the answer to that to Jack." "(TIGER ROARS)" "Shh." "Shh." "He's quiet now." "Judy." "Judy." "You see the rest of my gun over there on the desk?" "All those little pieces." "Would you get them for me, please, old friend?" "(JUDY PROTESTS)" "But Judy, the lion outweighs me 3 to 1." "I'm surely entitled to some sort of protection, aren't I?" "That's not being unreasonable, is it, old girl?" "Judy." "Judy." "Judy, come back, please, Judy!" "(JUDY CHUCKLES)" "Toto." "Toto, come over here." "There." "That's it." "Toto, look." "Toto, would you do your Uncle Hedley a great big favor?" "You see the rest of my gun on the desk?" "All those little itsy-bitsy pieces?" "Now, if you go and get them for me, Toto, I'd be eternally grateful." "Go along, Toto." "Get them for me." "A bullet?" "What am I supposed to do with this?" "Throw it at him?" "Oh, no." "No." "(TOTO SCREECHES) (BAMBO ROARS)" "Oh!" "Oh." "Well, that does it." "All we have to do now is get him back." " Then, let's carry him back." " No, we can't." "We can't risk it." "One misstep and he might start hemorrhaging." "Ok, I'll go back and get a stretcher and a truck." "Oh, no." "I'll go." "Uh, there might be a lot more predators and scavengers out there." "Someone will have to stay with Prince while the other one takes care of the intruders." "All right, but look, take care on the way in, huh?" "Ok." "I might even see Sarang." "Paula, bring back some dart rifles and Hedley." "Ok." " Uh" " Uh, and some adrenaline." " All right." "You know, Jack, Sarang may be out there, and hungry." "Well, if he is, I think he'll stay hungry." "I doubt that Sarang will kill for food." "That's right, Toto." "Now get the gun handle and the cylinder and all those other pieces." "Please, Toto!" "(BAMBO ROARS)" "All right, Bambo, all right." "No one meant to disturb your beauty sleep." "(TOTO CHUCKLES)" "That's right, Toto." "Good Toto." "Oh." "The cylinder." "Well, that's a help but it isn't enough." "(BAMBO ROARS)" "Bambo." "Bambo, now, don't do anything rash." "There's laws against that sort of thing, you know." "Oh, a broom." "What in the world do you expect me to do with that?" "(BAMBO ROARS)" "Oh, Judy, please." "Go and get me the rest of the pieces of gun off the desk." "Please, Judy. (SIGHS)" "All right, Judy." "All right, I'll take the broom." "I suppose it's better than nothing." "Now, Bambo." "Bambo." "Take it easy." "Take it easy, boy." "Mm-hm." "He's holding up nicely." "Now if we can just keep him still until Paula gets back." "Yeah." "Uh-oh." "Look." "Well, I guess I'd better remind him this is a hospital zone and there are no visitors allowed, huh?" "What do you plan?" "Some person to animal communication?" "No, Mike, I'm just gonna get rid of him." "Hey, uh, it might be vice versa, Jack." "This is not one of our compound animals and you don't have a gun." "You better let me help you." "Somebody has to stay here with Prince." "Go back." "All right!" "Be careful, Jack." "Looks like he's getting ready to attack." "Must've smelled Prince's blood." "We'll just have to take him on, Mike." "(A GROWL NEARBY)" "What's that, Mike?" "Another leopard?" "No." "Something bigger." "Sarang." "We better give Sarang a hand." "That leopard could tear him to pieces." "Don't, Jack." "Sarang is a 400-pound fighter." "He can lick his weight in wild cats." "Yeah, but we've trained him not to attack." "If that training holds up Sarang'll be helpless." "Sarang's closing in to attack the leopard." "Hope so." "Because if he doesn't he'll get himself killed." "He's reverting." "Look." "His blood pressure's dropping." "We need more adrenaline." "We're out." "I hope Paula gets back quick." "I hope she bring the hypo-dart strong enough to bring down Sarang." "He's our friend." "He's not gonna hurt anybody." "Tell that to the leopard." "You were wrong, boy, he's protecting us." " Yeah." "Good boy, Sarang." " Jack, he may not remember you." "Of course he remembers me." "He's only been out in the bush for 3 days." "Look how he fought off that leopard." "He came here because Prince was in trouble." "I think he came back for the same reason those fellas did." "Oh, no." "Yes." "I don't think he came back because of loyalty." "I think he came back because of the scent of Prince's blood." "Easy, Bambo." "Easy." "Oh, dear." "This is no protection." "All it does is to make him angry." "He just seems to enjoy chewing on it." "Judy." "Judy, do you see those tranquilizer darts over there?" "Now, can you get me 1, please?" "That's right, Judy, now can you pick 1 up?" "Good Judy." "Now bring it to me, please." "Judy, I'm not going to hurt your friend Bambo." "I just want to put him to sleep." "Sleep." "So he can rest." "See how" " Oh!" "See how tired he is." "(BAMBO SNARLS) (SIGHS)" "Judy." "Paula!" "Hedley!" "Judy?" "Well, what's going on here?" "And what are you doing with those hypo-darts?" "She was turning my hair gray." "I needed that dart for my cellmate." "What are you doing in the cage with Bambo?" "I'd rather not say but get me out of here, please." "The key seems to be jammed in the lock." "You know, those darts are only strong enough for a small cat." "They wouldn't do much for a full grown lion." "It's the wrong key." "Oh, well, get the right one, please, Paula, quick." "This is it." "Yeah." "Oh, thank you." "Oh, my word." "Oh." "(SIGHS)" "Did you find Prince and Sarang?" "We found Prince." "He had an arrow in his side and he's barely alive." " Any sign of Sarang?" " No." "Oh, I just know he's in some sort of terrible trouble." "Here, help me with the stretcher." "(SARANG GROWLS)" "Ah-ha." "He's holding his own." "Barely." "Well, there's nothing we can do until Paula gets back." "I'll go check Sarang's battle wounds." "Jack, be careful." "I will." "That's a boy." "You did a good job with that leopard." "Now just calm down, huh?" "Jack, stay away from Sarang." "You saw him." "He's reverted." "He's got nothing to revert to, Mike." "The bush isn't his natural habitat." "All the more reason for him to be frightened and vicious." "Well, I have to try, don't I?" "Ok, boy." "Now, take it easy." "It's me, your buddy, Jack." "Huh?" "That's Mike over there with your friend Prince and" " Now, look." "Prince has been hurt, so just calm down and don't disturb him, huh?" "That's it." "I think it's begin to work, Mike." "He recognizes me." "Look out!" "No!" "Sarang!" "Sarang!" "No!" "Sarang!" "Ah!" "Ha!" "Get over to Prince." "I'll pull him away." "Ha!" "Ha-ah!" "Ha!" "Ha!" "Ha." "Ha." "Ha!" "Ha!" "Ha!" "Ha!" "Mike!" "What's happening?" "Sarang." "Mike, what the devil's got into Sarang?" "He's gone wild." "He just attacked Jack." "(GRUNTS IN PAIN)" "Well, tranquilize him, Paula." "I don't have a dart big enough to put him down." "Then I'll have to shoot him with my rifle." "The adrenaline, quick." "What happened to your arm?" "Sarang." "Sarang!" "(PRINCE WHINES)" "The adrenaline." "It's done the trick." "Yeah." "The adrenaline saved Prince, and recognizing Prince saved Sarang." "I think it was something more than that." "Something more basic." "It was Prince's need for survival." "His will to live." "Yes, I'd say he's well on the road to recovery." "It was only a week ago out in the bush we thought he was dead." "Well, that just goes to show you the wonderful recuperative powers that nature gives to animals." "Yep." "And old Sarang's right back to normal too." "Which I think pretty well backs up my theory on animal training." "Uh, don't you, old colleague?" "Well, Jack, old, colleague, how 'bout that souvenir Sarang gave you." "Was that an apple for the teacher?" "Uh, that." "Uh, well, that, old colleague, is something I'm afraid I don't have an answer for." "You know, Dad, we all saw Sarang and he was as fierce as any jungle beast." "And he was only in the bush for 3 days." "Well, Paula, when Sarang was found as a cub in India, he was lying next to his mother in the jungle." "She'd been killed by a spear-trap." "Oh, then when he saw Prince injured like that it must've brought his memory back to him." "Well, fear came back to him." "Yes, he went wild again, at least temporarily." "(HEDLEY):" "Hello, there." " Oh, hello, Hedley." " Hi, Hedley." "Hi." "I say, what's the leash for?" "Oh, it's for my former roommate." "Or rather, cage-mate." "Oh, yeah." "Uh, about Bambo." "I haven't been able to find any physical reason for that attack on the witch doctor." "Hedley, are you going to take him away to be killed?" "Hedley, you're not gonna execute him just because of that 1 incident, are you?" "Well..." "Dad?" "No." "I haven't come to destroy Bambo, but to return him to the bush near the village." "Marsh, you were perfectly right." "I had the opportunity to question the witch doctor and I learned from him what it was that drove Bambo here off his feed." "It was a swarm of mosquitoes that passed through the village and nearly drove the animals crazy." "Ah, the old element X. The unknown variable." "Hm?" "Well, I examined Bambo." "I noticed that he had a whole bunch of mosquito bites, so I asked Hedley to verify it." "Oh, by the way, here's a letter from Nagoro." "Oh, it's from the editor of the Science Quarterly." " Hey, they read my paper?" " Mine?" " Just a minute." " Come on." "Which one did they accept?" "Well, I" " I'm afraid they didn't accept either 1." "No, he feels that, uh, both papers are very well written, but, um, not enough scientific evidence was, um, presented." "(SIGHS) Nah, I guess not." "But after our experience with Sarang," "I think that'll pretty well prove my theory." "On the contrary, old chap." "It proved my theory." "He did revert." "Oh, yes, but he bounced right back again." "And that's because of his training." "Uh, yes, but judging from Hedley's report, uh, it would seem that, um, it was a response to Prince that brought it all about." "Well, maybe you could revise your report and add something about animal rapport with other animals." "That's up to the fellows." "If you wanna keep on experimenting and observing, you just might find the answer." "And what happens if we never find the answer?" "Well, then, you just keep right on searching." "That's the name of the game, you know." "Science." "Well, if you scientists will help me get Bambo back..." "Oh, yeah, certainly." "I'll unlock the, um" " I, uh" "Wait a minute, I had that key" "Now, where in the blazes did that key go?" "(JUDY CHUCKLES)" "♪ (THEME MUSIC PLAYS) ♪" "(English" " SDH)"
