All language subtitles for Daktari s01e14 The Hostages

Would you all come a little closer,
please? We'll start the ceremony.

Dr. Tracy, in appreciation of your
pioneer research in the field of animal

behavior... You'll have to excuse

Clarence, Dr. Iverson.

He's got a little indigestion.

Quite.

As I was saying, in appreciation of your
work, the Universal Wildlife Research

Association takes pleasure in presenting
to you, Dr. Tracy, and your

associates... Judy, be

quiet!

Associates of all species, our annual
award.

Well, thank you. We're very honored.

Our award consists of this testimonial
scroll.

Just what we needed.

And our research medal.

Oh, thank you. Very nice.

That looks nice.

And useless.

And finally, our grant in aid in the
amount of 26 ,000 pounds.

26 ,000 pounds?

Oh, brother.

Oh, 26 ,000 pounds. That's 75 ,000
bucks,

man. That's a lot of money. I told you.

Now, shut up and watch.

Well, this is a surprise.

We are most grateful, and thank you
very, very much.

Everybody, refreshments are on the
house. We can afford it.

Well, Dr. Terry's got the money, all
right. You were right, Ray. But how are

going to get it?

By kidnapping.

Kidnapping? Legal kidnapping.

I've checked around.

That chimp and the cross -eyed lion,
they're just like Tracy's people. He

actually cares about them.

Well, now he's got $75 ,000 to care
with.

If they were missing.

You mean steal them.

They can't be stolen. They're wild
animals. This is a game reserve. Nobody

them.

Well, not legally, that is.

So we're going to pick them up for
research.

A real scientific project.

How to turn them into $75 ,000 worth of
ransom without any trouble at all.

Let's see.

A new operating table? I think it's
about time. I think it's about time,

Oh, boy, let's get rid of this old,
decrepit centrifuge. You can sure use a

one.

Yeah, well, I guess that's about it.

Yep. Looks like the beginning of a new
era. For the first time in history, the

Romero Animal Research Center is out of
debt. With money for new projects.

Marsh, the Dead Sea Fly Transmittal
Chain Study.

And don't forget my animal psychology
project.

How about a new motor scooter?

A what?

A motor scooter.

A new motor scooter?

What on earth would you want with a
motor scooter?

For me to exercise Clarence. Oh, great.
This was supposed to be a scientific

grant. For research projects or for
clinical work.

Paula.

Every dollar spent, you know, must be
approved by the fund. And somehow or

another, I have the feeling that a new
motor scooter... All right, all right, I

apologize. I'll give up my motor
scooter, but only on one account.

That I get the money for my animal
extrasensory perception study.

Uh -oh, here we go again.

Our colleague, the dreamer.

I don't know why, too supposedly logical
thinking.

Three supposedly logical thinking men
can't recognize that an animal poses

senses that we just can't classify.

Like Clarence.

Rage your mind? Got sick.

Ha, ha, ha. You don't even know what he
senses out there in the night.

Oh, I have an idea.

Well, I guess it's about time to close
up.

Jack, do you want to take Clarence out?
Sure.

Come on, Judy.

Come on, Clarence.

Bedtime. Don't forget to keep an eye on
our sick friend back here, huh?

Now she's been keeping a very
professional eye on our little spring

Well, how are you feeling? You feeling
better, huh?

Well, you're looking better.

At least you got an appetite.

All right, Judy.

Okay, let's close shop.

Hey, hang on to this.

Who, me? What do you want me to do with
this meat?

Just hang on to it. Look, he's a pet.

He's tame.

Remember? A valuable, beloved pet.

Throw the

meat in the back of the cage.

Come on, Kitty.

Come on, Kitty. Come on. Come on.

Come on.

Here,

I'll lift.

What's that for?

One custom -built sleeping pill for one
chimp.

Check a lion easy enough. They say the
chimp's a lot smarter.

And a very suspicious type.

This way there'll be no fuss and no
bother.

Get behind the wheel. I'll be back in a
minute.

Good girl.

Judy, isn't it?

Nice banana, eh?

Alan!

Put this in the truck.

Okay, let's roll.

Let me get that out.

That'll do.

That'll do.

Paul.

Look,

Paul, if Judy and Clarence are not back
after clinic, then we'll go looking for

them. But in the meantime, please relax
and pay attention. All right. I would

just feel a lot better.

What's that?

What's that?

Hmm.

Well, if I'm not mistaken, colleague,
this bears a very strong resemblance to

what we scientists call a banana.

You know, that's funny.

Jimmy wouldn't just eat half a banana,
Dad.

Well, give it to the spring horse. He
loves bananas.

Why couldn't we contact them from back
to the camp?

Because this walkie -talkie thing won't
carry that far.

They need to be up higher.

Besides, if anybody should happen by, we
can spot them.

Let's get moving.

What's going on here, anyway?

Springhouse wouldn't touch it. He threw
it out of his cage.

What's funny?

Springhouse doesn't eat a banana. Either
he's abnormal or the banana is.

He's drugged.

Are you kidding?

You want a bite?

No, thank you.

I can't understand it.

Who would want to hurt Judy?

Or Clarence?

Something's wrong, Dad.

It just doesn't make sense.

It's a good spot.

Get out the walkie -talkies.

Calling Wamira Compound.

Hello?

Calling Wamira Compound.

Come in, Wamira.

It's a ridiculous idea.

Why would anybody want to steal a lion
and a chimp?

Maybe to sell to a circus or a zoo.
Well, then they'd steal more than just

animals. The risk is just not justified.

Well, what about the missing walkie
-talkie?

Yeah, I guess you'd better call
Inspector Henry. Yes, I'm going to tell

kind of plot, too.

Calling Wamera Compound. Come in,
Wamera.

This is Dr. Tracy. Go ahead.

This is Dr.

Doolittle.

I call myself that because of my
interest in animals.

Especially chimps.

And lions.

One of each.

Judy and Clary! Well, good, then you
found them. Hey, ask if they're all

Where are they? Who are you?

Oh, they're fine.

And I'm a friend.

Well, how did they find you, and can we
come for them?

Why, I'd be happy to return them to you,
Miss Tracy.

Of course, I'm quite busy right now.

So perhaps you might care to compensate
me for my time and trouble.

I have hoped there might be a reward.

Well, we hadn't thought in terms of a
reward, but of course we'd be happy to

you. Anything you say.

Say, $75 ,000.

Well, that's ridiculous. We don't have
that kind of money.

Are you quite sure?

Yes, I'm sure. And you're nothing but a
kidnapper.

A kidnapper?

My dear Miss Tracy, one can't kidnap
wild, free animals.

All right, just what is this all about
and what do you want?

Well, now, first I want you to be
sensible.

Don't risk your pet's health by going to
District Officer Headley.

Otherwise, your pets might be in very
serious danger.

In point of fact, Daktari, they might be
dead.

Listen, that walkie -talkie has a range
of less than five miles.

Right. They've got to be close by.

Yeah, we can locate them on our portable
transceiver in the truck.

I don't hear any answer, Daktari.

Aren't you interested in the details?

Yes, I want them. Just let me get a
pencil and paper.

I'll use the radio. Go in whatever
direction the signal's the strongest,

Yeah. Sure, poor math triangulation.

Paul and I'll try to keep them talking.

I'll call Hadley, right? No, get going.
We have time.

Keep him talking. Be concerned.
Emotional.

I am concerned and emotional.

Yes, poor thing. She sounds frightened,
doesn't she?

Now, this is what I want you to do.

Put the money in a watertight container.

I don't hear any answers, Daktari.

Yes,

I heard you.

But why a watertight container?

Don't ask questions, Daktari.

Just listen to your master's voice.

We must be getting close. The signal's
very clear. Straight ahead.

Fine. We'll just drop in unexpectedly.

Look.

Would you please just tell us your
demands?

Now, hold a tight container for the
money.

How's the signal?

To the left.

That's it. Hold it right there.

Now, attach a float as a marker to the
container with the money and toss it

the Ondorona River below the Watiri
Falls.

You got that?

Yes, I understand.

Huh?

Not to the right.

That's it. Steady.

Careful, Jack. There's some animals in
that grove.

try, Daktari.

Now you can just sweat until I contact
you again.

Let's get out of here.

Oh, he caught on.

Yeah.

I'll put you to Jack, will you? Number
three.

Now, Jack, Mike, any sign of him?

Not exactly, Marsh.

But we must be getting close.

Someone up ahead kicking up a lot of
dust in the right direction.

We'll check it out.

He went in here.

Didn't cross, though.

We can't track him, Walter.

Could have gone upstream, downstream.

I don't know. Could have come out
anywhere on the other side.

Let's search.

That'll be pretty much of a long shot.

Let's try.

All right. Might take us a while,
though. Radio Mark telling us to sit

So we just kept hunting and hunting
until it was almost dark, but nothing.

Odd.

But then the whole thing's odd.

Actually, it's not much of a crime.

What do you call kidnapping?

The abduction of a human child from its
parents, not the alleged removal of a

wild animal from one spot on a game
reserve to another.

Yes, but Hadley, what about blackmail,
extortion?

Why, even a horse or a cow was stolen.
That's just it.

They're not domesticated animals.
They're not protected by law.

Then you're not going to do anything?

Oh, naturally, Jack. I'll do everything
I can, but unofficially. I can't call

out all my men without legal cause.

Oh!

I'll talk to her.

Prince! Prince, come on, boy!

Come on!

Come on, pop in.

Hey! Hey!

Don't go running off like a nut.

Look. Henley's a police officer. He's
got to obey the law, even if it means

something. Go ahead and say it, even if
it does kill Clarence and Judy.

Hey, now, look, Paul. We are all doing
everything we possibly can. Nobody can

follow an invisible trail.

Nobody human, maybe.

Now, look, if people won't help, maybe
animals can.

Are you coming?

Yeah.

Well, I'll check with you tomorrow.

Where are you off to? You know, I think
I need a little distraction myself.

So I'm going to take a look around on
the far side of the river.

Unofficially, of course.

Of course.

Paula,

this is ridiculous.

But it's worth trying.

Animal ESP, huh? Exactly.

That's why I brought Judy's favorite
toy.

Clarence's bone.

I hope you're not going to stick pins in
the doll.

Prince, where is Judy and Clarence?
Where are they?

Now, he goes off into a trap.

Points off one paw mysteriously.

Very funny.

Come on, Prince. Go find Judy and
Clarence.

The psychic one has headed off the wrong
way.

They crossed the river to the other
side.

It must be wonderful knowing everything,
except when you're being so pig

-headed.

What is it?

I don't know. They just started acting
up.

But have a look.

Just in case somebody's sniffing around.

Same tracks.

I told you so.

I apologize.

I guess they must have gone in the river
to come out the same side, and that's

why we couldn't track them.

I just don't see how a dog could sense a
thing like this. Extra sense.

All right, we'd better call Marsh, let
him know where we are.

Look, we're not anywhere yet.

And we don't have the time to waste.
Now, come on.

That's Clarence!

It's not Clarence. It's just a lion.

Clarence just happens to be a lion.

Yeah, I know all about that. The young
lady's right, you know.

You! Dr. Doolittle.

In person.

A hands up, hero.

Of course.

Get him, Prince!

It

was

his own fault.

along with me if you don't want to join
him. No, Jack!

I can't leave him here. I've got to take
him back to the compound.

Mike, for Pete's sakes, why didn't you
tell me you saw Paula take off?

Well, for one thing, you didn't ask. For
another, Jack is with her. Prince, too.

What do you think it means?

It means they took off after the
kidnappers themselves.

Well, you know, Marsh, taking Prince
might not be a bad idea. The dog could

up a scent.

That's what I'm afraid of.

If he leads them to the kidnappers,
those kids could be in for real trouble.

I'd better trial again.

Paula, Jack, do you read me?

Paula, Jack, come in.

They must have left the truck.

Prince. Prince.

Go home.

Go home. Get help.

Go on.

Did you reach Henry?

No.

Mike, if they're not back in ten
minutes, we're going after them. Okay.

Paula, Jack, do you read me?

Don't worry, Judy.

I'm sure Jack will be all right.

He's just too stubborn to die.

Don't worry, he'll find us. I know he
will, Judy.

Oh, Judy.

Thank you for trying to cheer me up.

Oh, Judy.

You silly girl, you.

No, they're not.

What is it?

It's blood.

And he's not hurt.

Maybe an animal.

Or it could be Paul and Jack.

Prince, Prince, can you take us to Paul
and Jack, huh?

He's trying to tell us something.

Prince, can you take us?

I'll get the rifles. I'll get the
medical kit.

Prince! Go on! Go find him!

You took a doggone long time.

All right, get the medical bag.

A little dizzy.

Can't imagine why.

You just have a little bullet hole
through your shoulder.

Who did it, Jack?

It didn't happen, sir.

It got Paula.

Not quick when the bleeding stopped.

Where'd they take her, Jack?

I don't know.

They headed northeast.

It was on foot. They couldn't have gone
too far.

We'll find him.

You'd better stay here, huh?

You'll have to hit me over the head if
you expect me to.

Well, I can't do that. They'd revoke my
hypocritical oath.

Not to mention the damage your head
would do to a rifle.

I'm feeling better, really.

You sure? Yeah.

Okay, give me a hand.

Easy there.

They're headed up towards the hill.

Bite this in half.

Bite it in half, Judy.

Go on, Judy. I know you can do it.

Go on, Judy.

Go on. You can do it.

I know you can do it. Come on, Judy.
Try.

Try, Judy. Come on.

Okay, okay.

Now, give me the other piece.

Give me the other piece.

Okay, Judy, rock your cage.

Come on, rock it.

Hey, Barrett, get excited. Come on, get
excited.

Good, good.

Okay, Judy, keep it up.

Keep rocking. Come on, Barrett.

Come on, Barrett. Good.

Keep on rolling.

Barrett, come on. Come on, good.

Now shut them up!

What joke does that make? You're going
to kill me anyway!

You won't get hurt unless you keep this
racket going!

Honest, I can't stop them!

Can't stop him with one shot and you
wouldn't have time for a second shot.

If I'm a paramilitary and have nothing,
drop it and save your life.

What's the matter with you?

You might have killed that girl.

Wrong. I would have killed her.

But, but, Ray, I... We need that girl. I
mean, what about the 75 ,000 bucks? You

lump. Never mind about the 75 ,000
dollars. It's gone, lost.

We've got to get away clean. That girl
can identify the pair of us right into

jail. We've got to run her down before
she gets away or her father finds us.

Run her down and kill her.

Attaboy, Prince.

Go find him.

Clarence, stay here and lie down. You'll
only get hurt.

Clarence, if you were only ferocious!

Well,

Judy, I guess he's a lover, not a
killer.

Guess it's ladies' day. It'll be between
you and me.

Let's go, Judy!

It's recently fired.

The shot we heard.

Whoever fired it went this way. The dog
is right.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Jess, I see them. But don't let them
hear you.

They're separating.

Now maybe we can take care of them one
by one.

Then we've got to look for Jack.

Okay, Judy, come on down.

Judy, get up that tree.

Good morning.

What are you doing with that silly
paddle?

You. I'm an unknown.

You know now. Turn around.

Judy, get the gun. Come on, get it.

Now, don't shoot, Judy.

Now, don't shoot.

I'll shoot him.

He's one of them, Marsh. All right,
where's my daughter?

You.

You're not dead.

No, just wounded and mean.

Where is she?

You heard us. Where is she?

Up the side of that hill in those trees.

I tried to argue with Ray, but he wants
to kill her. You better move fast,

Octari. I tried to argue with him,
honest.

I'll bet.

Let's go.

Come on.

Judy, give him to God.

I saw you, girl.

Come on out.

Out!

Yeah.

Perhaps they're coming to save you.

But I'm in the clear.

You're my passport, girl.

Clarence!

Clarence, go and get him!

He's a pet.

I've heard all about that affection
training.

Works, too.

Nice boy.

Ah, that's a nice fella.

Clarence, go get him!

That cat's not going to do anything.

Now move.

Move!

Look, we're just going to walk out of
here. Me and my passport, right?

Now move!

I got tires! Get out of there!

Help!

Dr. Doolittle, I presume.

That cross -eyed line of yours double
-crossed me

during your affection training.

Be damned! I'd beat you!
