All language subtitles for Daktari s01e05 Trail of the Cheetah

This is the station for the Wamayru
Animal Study Center. Sure, sure.

For Dr. Ari, yes?

Wamayru, nine miles that way. Near
village.

Welcome to Africa.

Is this Miss Lorne worth all this rush?

Absolutely.

Miss Janet Lorne, as in the Lorne
Foundation, supports our research.

Oh, the equipment Luke was talking
about.

Miss Lorne is a trustee, and back when I
was doing my graduate work, I learned a

fact of life.

Always be very, very tender with
trustees.

And besides, there's plenty of, um...
What is it?

Something's wrong with that zebra.

We'll take a look.

Hunter.

Wounded him and lost him.

Why didn't you take care of him here?

Yes, another ten minutes. It'll be too
late. But that will be late for Miss

Lauren. What?

Oh, there's one other thing I learned in
medical college.

Trustees have pull, but patients come
first.

Now get the kit, will you?

Besides, the bus isn't due to arrive for
another 15 minutes yet.

Very neat hamstitching, Daddy.

Yeah, you're part of the seamstress.

Okay, let's ease back. Give him a chance
to come to.

He's coming around now.

Yeah! Hop! Hop!

Hopping at him! Hopping at him!

Well, he'll be a little wobbly at first,
but in a week or so, he'll be back to

normal.

If he doesn't pick up another bullet.

How could he? There's no hunting allowed
on the reserve.

Well, if that zebra didn't travel here
with a bullet in him, he was shot

Just hope whoever did it is out of here
before there's more trouble.

Hey! Hey! Come on! Go, Joy! your family.

I was supposed to have been met by a Dr.

Marsh Tracy, otherwise known as the
Invisible Man.

That tarry.

Oh, he's probably stumbled over a
wounded butterfly. I'll give you a lift

compound. Thank you. I was beginning to
feel like little Orphan Annie.

He's probably a little late.

No, the bus was early, because he wasn't
late. I mean, he was off because he was

on time.

Time's a bit of ratcheting out here. You
mustn't be angry with Marsh.

My name's Hedley, district officer.

Janet Lawn, and I'm afraid I have every
intention of being absolutely furious

with Dr. Tracy.

Doing some of your pleasant errands for
a change, boss.

This is Miss Long, remember?

My pleasure.

I'm Dr. Tracy.

Oh, and this is my daughter, Paula.

Hi.

I mean, pleased to meet you, Miss Long.

You must forgive us. We had a medical
emergency about a mile back.

I'm sure it was very important.

Shall we proceed to your compound, Dr.
Tracy?

There's a right to be angry. And I've
got a right to my own opinion.

Move over, Judy.

Come on.

Do you always let your animal just run
around loose like that?

Don't you mean the ducks?

No, I mean that, that...

That's a

tiger!

In Africa?

Why, yes, he's imported.

It's part of a study we're making on
interspecies relationships.

On company funds, Dr. Tracy?

Anna will show you to your room, Miss
Lauren.

Al, could you... There's hot water for a
bath and coffee whenever you're ready.

I'll be ready in 20 minutes.

How do you fix the foundation?

I think you've just lost one.

Come on, I'll buy you a drink.

I'm bathed and repentant, Dr. Tracy.

And very much in need of that coffee.

Throw him in like a pink gin instead.
Marsh stocks it for me. No coffee will

fine, thanks.

Well.

What is that?

Oh, that's Clarence. He's homeless.

He's a crusade.

Yes, it's for business, just like
humans.

We'll have to cure him someday.

Do you think he sees double?

He never told me.

They specialize in the unexpected.

In all sizes.

Well, that's more of our study of
interspecies relationships.

We've discovered that lions and tigers
are simply not natural enemies.

And we're learning what makes animals
fearful or hostile.

Well, for example, you see those chimps?

Well, they were born in captivity and
raised with affection.

So, no fear, even of hereditary enemies.

You'd think they'd be at least a little
cautious.

Well, I'm afraid nobody ever told them
they were supposed to be scared.

Oh, look!

Look, he's hitting him with a stick!

They certainly are resourceful.

They're also having a lot of fun.

Yes.

Well, it's very interesting.

But as you know, Dr. Tracy, I'm
reviewing a number of foundation

expenditures. Including ours?

Miss Lauren, this is Jack Dane. He's
doing his graduate work in zoology as my

assistant, Jack. This is Miss Janet
Lauren.

Miss Lauren. How do you do?

To answer your question, Mr. Dane, I'm
here for two reasons. To bring our

foundation reports up to date and to see
whether your request for additional

funds is necessary.

Yes, well, Jack, will you get the
worksheets and reports of Miss Lauren,

Of course.

Excuse me.

Miss Lauren, if you'll come with me,
perhaps I can show you why some of these

additional expenses are justified and
necessary.

Oh, and this is Luke.

My other assistant, George Luculli, to
be formal.

Miss Janet Lauren.

From the Foundation? Yeah.

How wonderful.

Maybe now we can get some equipment that
was built after the first 12th wall.

Mr. Luculli.

you think of any practical results of
your work here?

Well, the antivenom.

With the help of this troublemaker over
here and his relatives, we've improved

snake venom out to adults, and we're
working on immunization.

And our studies in muscular strength.

Well, sure, a chimpanzee under stress
can pull ten times as much as a man.

Does that justify a small fortune in
special equipment?

This electron microscope and generator
you asked for costs $30 ,000.

Well, it's essential for developing
various vaccines.

Against East Coast people for one which
is killing our local animals right now

Generally invest money like that in
research to benefit people the animals

Many of my people will die also

Well,

how was the guided

tour a little too well guided

Oh, by the way, can I have that drink
now you promised me a little while ago?

Splendid.

What is it, Clarence? A cheetah out
there. He's been prowling about for half

hour. Really?

Might be one we treated.

Whenever we treat an animal, we mark it.

There it is.

A splash of yellow dye on his backside.

He better keep out of his hospital, Miss
Long. He does that to all his patients.

Well, that's just so they won't forget
me.

Well, this one certainly hasn't.

I wonder what brought him back here.

Frightened maybe by a gunshot.

A gunshot? Here in the reserve?

On the way to meet Miss Long, we ran
across a wounded zebra.

It was about 50 miles east toward the
main road.

There wasn't anyone in sight.

Roy Meadows.

He'd stay out of sight.

Ah! The weary life of a civil servant.
You will excuse me, won't you, Miss

Lorne? I have to look for Meadows. Who?

Meadows with an M, as in murder.

Murder? Actually, that's why I'm
prowling about.

This Meadows was an old bush hand.

He went into partnership with a young
fellow after minerals.

They sailed up river together, and
Meadows came back alone.

He killed his partner?

That's a suspicion, Paula, my pet. But
anyway, it is ducked out, run.

Don't get too far or the border's
closed, but still.

That's why I'm to look about here. If he
shot a zebra today, he might shoot a

man tomorrow.

You will excuse me, won't you, Miss
Long?

Bye, all.

Well, something's bothering that
cheetah.

I'm sorry, Miss Long, but I'm afraid
I'll have to check this out.

Jack will show you around the place.

Look, I've seen hospitals and zoos.

It's your field studies that I'm
interested in. Would you mind if I came

you? Well, not at all. I'd be delighted.

Oh, uh, Paula.

Could you plan dinner for around, uh,
almost seven?

That should give us plenty of time. Can
do, but wanna.

It's on the side, I mean south.

Can't drive down this.

Look, he really does want us to follow
him.

Okay, let's go.

Judy, you stay here.

So that's it.

His mate, he couldn't get her out.

He's a wild animal, Marsh, and he came
to you just like a dog.

Not like a man.

He didn't help.

He asked for it.

Janet, now stay away from the edge. Get
back.

Tomo, stay right there.

Are you all right?

My leg.

Tomo, Tomo.

Easy.

got a bad laceration and it's broken.

Springbok. Very tasty to a man with an
empty stomach.

District officer Hedley, I presume.

It's quite illegal to shoot Springbok in
a game reserve.

But I'll shade a point if you're ready
to be cooperative.

But I'm not.

Do be sensible, Meadows.

You'll get your day in court.

Not if I can help it.

Now, move back.

Carefully.

Nothing hasty. Now move over there,
Hadley.

Hello. I'm still ready to be
cooperative.

If you'll give yourself in.

Hadley, be careful with that bleeding
heart of yours. You might bleed to

either with the doctor or the house.

The medical kit's back on the truck.

Now, look, drink all the water you want.

I'll go and get something for the pain
so we can get you out of here, huh? Be

right back.

What? Yes.

What about the animals?

Oh, there's nothing to worry about
there.

Unprovoked animals never attack.

Look, I, um, I know it isn't easy, but
just try and relax.

And please, don't go anywhere.

Your friend Meadows is a bum shot.

He's an excellent shot, but he's also a
wily fellow.

There's no assurance you'll be convicted
of murdering his partner. But if he

killed me, well, the government frowns
on killing district officers.

Especially out of season on a game
reserve.

Oh, very funny.

Pigeon.

You're forgiven.

And I did put a shot in him at that.

Hey, good.

Where'd you get him?

Right in the petrol tank.

When his tank runs dry, we shall snap
him up.

Well, if you can do that in the next few
hours, you're invited to dinner.

Accepted. Thank you.

Warren Marsh, I intend to monopolize
that stunning Miss Lauren.

I'll tell them as soon as they get back.

That stunning Miss Lauren.

She is beautiful.

Jack Dane has the most disloyal thing
I've ever heard.

Oh, she is.

Beautiful.

I'm not provoking you.

Not exactly.

You must be Roy Meadows.

And you are Dr. A. Marsh Tracy.

And this is a rifle.

Where's Headley?

Did you kill him?

No, I didn't have to, and I hope I won't
have to kill you.

Now move back.

I just ran a little low on gas.

I'll need your car and enough provisions
to get me to the border.

I hope it's insured.

Keep going. Wait a minute.

There's a girl with a fractured leg in
the valley. I need my medical kit, and

I'll need the truck to get her home.
Sorry.

Now lie down flat.

You understand there's an injured human
being down there. If she doesn't get

help, she could die of infection.

And if I'm caught, I could die of the
shock.

In other words, I don't care, Tracy.

Now lie down or I'll put a bullet
through you.

Judy, start the truck.

That's the oldest trick ever, Tracy.

There's nobody else here.

Go on.

I mean duty.

There's a medical kit in there.

Get it out.

Carefully.

I don't think you'll shoot.

You see, I know your reputation.

Atari.

Man who heals animals.

They say you never shoot one.

I never had to.

Look, keep the transportation.

I'll just walk.

I can use your help.

But if I can't have it, I'll have to put
a bullet in your leg to keep you here.

All right.

Let's go.

Well, that's better.

It's been hours.

Oh, he's probably just giving her the
grand tour and softening her up.

Or vice versa.

Here, here they come now.

Oh, no, it's only Hadley.

Did you find anything?

Not a trace.

The clock located a leak in the tank and
plugged it. We lost his trail when he

stopped losing petrol.

Where's Marsh and the lovely Miss
Lawrence?

I don't know. They went for a ride, but
they haven't come back yet.

They should have.

That's out of sight.

I think we'd better go looking for them.
Paula!

It'll be dark soon.

They're in trouble.

Karen's consensus. Just look at him.

That's absolute nonsense.

Apart from big feet, Clarence bears
absolutely no resemblance to a

Clarence, I didn't mean it. I was only
joking.

Clarence, I was joking. Stop it.

Come on.

There's nothing we can do tonight.

Well, maybe you're right.

Dad did say dinner at seven, so...

He'll probably be back on the dot. Of
course. He's undoubtedly giving Miss

a complete tour.

That's what I'm afraid of.

We'll set off first thing in the
morning. You take your car, I'll take

We'll have you out of here in a minute.

You've got a way with females.

That's a pretty woman down there.

Look, Tracy.

You're no policeman.

I jump you, you slug me, it's all
square.

I'll help you get the girl out of the
pit.

Then what do you say you let me get on
my way, huh?

And if I don't?

If you don't, you better keep that rifle
handy.

Oh, I intend to.

Now get hold of that rope and pull on it
when I tell you.

You ready?

Give us a hand.

Okay, start pulling.

Okay, Meadows.

I'll make a shoulder for the night.

I don't want to move her while she's
still in shock.

For a pacifist, you're real handy with
that rifle.

It's okay, Jan.

Who's that?

The name's Meadows.

At your service.

Meadows?

It's all right.

As long as you keep an eye on him.

Say, do you know how to use one of these
things?

I'll try. Well, then, keep him covered
while I tie him up, huh?

Come on, hurry up.

It's going to be a long night, Dr.
Tracy.

I'll take a lot of watching.

That's right.

Three of us will take turns.

And you'd better get some sleep. Because
tomorrow, you're going to put in a

long, hard day.

Come on, scram. This is no joyride. Go
on, scram.

Scram. Let him come along. His feelings
will be hurt because he's not helping

tracking.

Tracking?

That could be, I guess, a little
compensation.

Come on, Clarence.

Short on vision, long on sense of smell.
Come on, let's go.

All set?

Okay. All right, Meadows. Get under it.

Ready? Aim up.

I'll head to the right. You go to the
left. If you find anything, send up a

flare.

I need a break.

Okay.

Hey, I could use some water, too.

That's good. The swelling's gone down.

Well, another half a mile to the truck
and we'll have you home in a jiffy.

I'm sorry, Marge.

I'm just not used to being a burden.

And I guess I'm scared.

I understand, Janet.

Now, don't try and be heroic.

But don't be scared either.

Here.

Step your hand out here.

Here you go, Diddy.

Here you go.

Kick your end free.

It won't be long now.

I told you, don't relax.

It's torn open.

Bleeding.

You take care of it, Tracy.

I'm taking care of me.

Minnows!

You can leave my truck.

The odds are you won't make it.

I'm going to make a first -rate try.

Now, now, wait a minute.

Everybody knows my vehicle and me.

So? So if I were with you, you'd be
passed across the border without

All right, spell it out.

She has to get to the hospital.

Fast. You take us both with you, and
I'll see that you get across the border.

Provided you drop us off at Monduli on
the other side.

All right.

You drive.

I'll be sitting in the back.

And remember, if there's any trouble,
she might die.

pass this way.

How can you tell? Oh, the tire tracks. I
know the treads.

Oh, great.

I studied so well with you for six years
and wind up a chauffeur to a teenage

Indian scout.

Jealous? After all, I've spent most of
my life here.

Hey, Clara's got a scent.

I refuse to... I believe that a lion,
especially Clarence, can differentiate

between one set of tire tracks and
another.

Look, he's tracking.

Not Dad?

No, Paula. As a matter of fact, it's
mine.

Meadows?

I'm afraid so.

Tracy's truck was here until just a
little while ago.

Well, Meadows must have found them. And
Daddy, Miss Lawrence.

Quite.

Apparently, he commandeered that truck.

Probably heading for the border.

It's human blood.

Somebody's been hurt.

Stop crawling, Tracy.

Every time we bump, Janet feels as if
you were hit with a hammer.

Once we're on the other side of the
river, I'll relax.

So we just keep on rolling.

We found a train of paper.

Dad, no book.

The paper's fresh. It hasn't even dried
out. How long has it been there? Not

more than an hour. Maybe a good deal
less. Well, let's hurry. Wait.

Meadows is clearly heading for the
river. The border's just beyond.

Now, I'll cut straight across. Try and
head him off. You just stay on his

Right. And look here.

And I mean this for you, Paula.

Meadows is armed and quite dangerous.

No heroics. If you spot them, simply
follow. Don't try a daring rescue.

With what?

All we have is a hypodermic gun and that
cross -eyed cat.

Come on.

How deep is it, Dave?

Oh, it's poured.

Not too deep, but knee -high.

You go ahead and walk across.

I'll follow.

Oh, no.

I want to know how deep it is.

Keep going.

Try it, Tracy.

I may be desperate, but I'm not stupid.

Now, come on back, and we'll try it
lower down the ridge.

No,

he's trying to tell us something.

I'll follow him. You take the truck.
Okay.

All right, you drive.

All right, Meadows.

Take his rifle, Sergeant.

I'll kill the girl!

Drop your gun, Headley.

You know, it's ironic.

Roy Meadows the killer, captured by pure
affection.

Paula? Jack?

Come on.

Come on, Paula. I'm Jack. We need your
signature. Come on.

Thanks, Luke.

Your turn, Jack.

Your signature, right here.

Right there?

Yes, ma 'am.

Clarence? Sit.

Hey, Janet, why don't you just stay here
with us until you get this cast off

your leg, huh?

I'd love to.

But they're waiting for my report in New
York.

Paula, your turn.

You're next, Marsh.

Okay.

And here...

It's my signature for you.

Well, Janet, this is much more than I'd
ever hoped for.

What is it?

It's an honor blank!

The electron microscope!

We got it! We got it! We got it!

You know, you really didn't have to do
this.

I've seen the work you're doing here.

Your medical aid training program for
local tribesmen, your production of anti

-venom, and the...

Idea for a serum for East Coast fever.

I realize how badly you need modern
equipment.

Thank you very much.

Bye.

Look, his signature.

Lawrence, I wish there were two of you.

You silly cat.
