All language subtitles for Daktari s03e10 One of Our Cubs is Missing

... ...

I still don't know what we're doing over
here when the rest of the firemen are

the rich we're head leaving men are.

Because that's their job, honey.

And our job is animal control and
certification.

All the animals got out, didn't they?

According to the air survey, they all
did.

The trouble is no one's reported seeing
that ton of lion pride.

The beautiful pride of lions.

Oh, Dad, you don't think they got
trapped?

My instinct tells me their instinct was
all the warning they needed.

But just to play safe, I thought I'd
double check.

Oh, but Dad, they had some little cubs.

You don't suppose... Oh, for Pete's
sake, honey. If Judy isn't worrying

something, you are.

There's the area right up ahead there.

Well, it looks as if that lion pride got
ahead of the fire all right.

Boy, a brush fire can be a terrible
thing.

Makes even the most competent of animals
quite helpless.

Helpless and homeless.

Paula,

calling Headley. Come in, please,
Headley.

Paula, Tracy calling Headley.

Hedley here, Paula. How is it with you?

Well, we've just finished over here by
the river crossing. You can see quite a

bit of the burnt -out bush.

How are you doing?

Yeah, it's under control here, too.

Why don't you join us at the compound
for a cup of tea, then?

I'd love to. I'm absolutely parched.

Well, I'll get cleaned up, and I'll see
you at the compound.

Well, shall we go?

Yeah, might as well.

No sign of life around here.

It'll be a long time before the animals
move back into this area.

All right.

Oh, come on, Judy.

Judy? Well, now where'd she go?

Judy?

Oh, that rascal.

Come on, Judy. It's tea time. Let's go.
Come on.

All right.

All right. All right. All right. Oh, you
poor thing.

Hey, Dad.

Yeah?

All right.

All right.

Well,

he must have been separated from the
pride by the fire.

He seems to be all right.

We ought to take him back to a marrow
lease, though, and check him over.

Well, Dad, can we keep him?

Well, for a while, anyway.

Until he's well enough to go back to the
bush where he belongs.

How dare we always have room for one
more at the compound?

Forget young lady. We're running a
scientific study center, not a home for

animals.

Beauty, stop that.

The poor thing's frightened, and it
can't manage in the bush without its

parents, and it's too young to take care
of itself.

Would you be surprised how quickly they
learn?

Well, okay.

If you can manage him, you can take him
back.

Oh, boy.

My father, the scientist, is up to no
good.

Clarence? Paula?

Hi, Hedley. What's the good news?

What is it about this little chap's
family?

Now, you remember that pride of lions
that nearly got caught in the fire? Yes.

Well, my Ascari's have located them.
Well, good.

Well, how about that cup of tea?

It's all ready.

Good.

Come on.

There we go.

Oh.

Hello, Marsh. How are you? I'm fine,
Eddie.

Well, I see your mustache is crooked, so
you must be grinning. What's up?

It's about this little chap's family.

My ascaris have located where they are.

Really? Well, now, do you remember that
small ravine over here by the fever

trees? That's right. Well, they've
settled in their new home just about

Right here, huh? Mm -hmm.

Well, that's interesting.

Here we are at Romero.

Here's a fire area where the pride was,
and here's where they are now.

An area roughly ten miles apart.

Henry, would you hold him for a second?

Delighted.

Do you have a problem, Marsh?

Well, you've heard stories of people
who've had a pet and then they've been

forced to move, say, from one city to
another, maybe hundreds of miles apart,

and inadvertently they leave the pet
behind.

And a couple of months later, the pet
turns up, unexpected in its new home,

despite the fact, as you say, it's
several hundred miles away. And although

happens all the time, everyone's
enormously surprised.

Right. Can you explain it? Oh, no.

Psychology's not my cup of tea.

But this is. Thank you, Paul. Are you
explaining?

Well, I can't.

How?

That's one of the frustrating mysteries
that zoologists have been trying to

solve for years.

Yeah, well, come on. Why don't you just
sit down here for a minute? You just

settle down here for a minute. Yeah,
that's a good boy.

No, we don't know enough about animal
behavior.

And if we could just make one step
towards a better understanding... And I

an experiment coming on.

Well, I've been wondering.

Laura, a cub this age is guided by
instinct.

Now, if he had to choose between where
that pride was and where it is now,

one would he choose?

Why don't you set the little beggar
loose in the bush and see where he goes?

That's exactly what I want to do.

Oh, no, Dad, you can't do that.

Well, Paula, we'll put a transmitter
around his neck and we'll know exactly

where he is all the time.

But a cub that size in the bush, that's
a terrible danger.

You can't risk that?

Paula, there's hardly any risk at all.

As a matter of fact, we have a very good
chance of finding out something really

interesting. But it's reckless to play
with an animal's life that way.

Paula, you know Marsh is reckless.

Paula, this is an opportunity that only
comes along once in a lifetime.

Oh, I think it's reckless.

Now look, we attach this tiny
transmitter to the cup.

Now I have adapted it so that we can
pick up where he is all the time on this

radio direction finder.

Dangerous in the bush.

Oh, there's no danger in the bush. It's
only our fears that make it dangerous,

and an animal doesn't have those fears.

But he's used to us. He needs someone to
feed him, to care for him.

Well, Paula, he's either going to head
back to where this part is now or to

where we found him.

Oh, scientists.

You trust in your electronical devices
and not in human emotions.

Well, I don't like it.

Come here now. Let's just see if this
will slip over your head.

There we go.

Paul, come on. Give me a hand here.

There. Now, you see?

It's almost hidden by the fur.

You can rest assured we'll know where he
is all the time, so don't worry.

All right.

Annie, will you grab that radio
direction finder?

Right. Come on. Here we go.

Jack,

look.

They're heading toward the boat.

It seems you were right. How did you
know?

Well, you take one scientist working all
morning on an electronic gizmo, you add

a homeless lion cub... And you've got
the beginning of another dietary

experiment, huh? About it. Well, there's
no concern of ours.

Not for the moment, anyhow.

All right, little fella.

Let's see if you can go find your
family. Go on, shoot.

Judy doesn't like it either.

Oh, Judy's just annoyed at losing
someone she can mother.

Come on, fella.

Go find your family.

Come on, little fella.

Now go find your home and see if you can
answer a question for us.

Just follow your instincts. You'll be
all right.

I know, Judy.

That cub's heading for trouble unless we
do something about it.

Just a minute, young lady. This is one
experiment you're going to leave alone.

Strictly alone.

Don't worry so much, Paula.

You'll be fine.

I'll prove it to you.

There's nothing to worry about.

Marsh is out there, not too far away
from your favorite new friend, keeping

electronic eye on him.

What you don't seem to understand is
that miniature jukebox can only find out

where the cub is, not if it's in any
trouble.

He's out there all alone with no one to
give him the kind of help he's come to

know from, well, from other animals.

Anyway, he wouldn't know where to find
his parents or his home. I know he

wouldn't. He'll have to face all kinds
of dangers in the bush with no one to

help him.

Lions don't run into much danger in the
bush, you know.

At this age, even a hyena's a danger or
a snake or a leopard. Now, you can't

tell what's going to happen.

I'm going to do something about it.

Come on, Judy.

Like what?

Every baby needs to have a human eye
watch it. You know, science alone is not

enough.

Human eye. Well, subhuman, but it's the
best thing.

Come on, Judy.

Marsh ordered you not to interfere with
his experiment.

Well, Judy's not going to tell a cub
where to go.

Anyway, Dad didn't tell Judy a single
thing so she can do whatever she wishes.

That's a fine distinction, I must say.

All right, now, Judy, I want you to go
out and find that cub and keep a careful

eye on it. Do you understand?

Oh, no, no, Judy, you don't go fishing.

You go watching, spying.

You've got to find that cub.

And whatever you do... Please, don't let
Dad catch you.

Okay? Now, you won't need this either.

Paula, if Judy's going to be a spy,
she'll need a cover story.

You see?

Her lunch.

Oh, well, why didn't you tell me?

Okay, now, Judy.

I want you to go out there and find that
cub and keep a careful eye on it, but

whatever you do, don't let it get into
any trouble.

It's all your responsibility. Go to it.

Go ahead.

Remember, I need your help, so don't let
me down.

You know, she's got more sense than all
the transistors in Japan.

Africa.

Paula, you know, I never thought of Judy
as a spy before.

How's her karate?

How's yours?

So far, so good.

It could be right over there somewhere.

Let's see if we can spot it.

Ah, there's too much bush.

But if the transmitter says he's out
there, there he is.

Can't fool the transmitter.

Well, you know, it looks as if he's
heading back to his old territory.

Yeah, the real test is going to be when
he finds out his family isn't there.

Well, he'll just follow the fact, that's
all. Oh, no, he can't. The fire wiped

out all traces of scent.

Oh, yeah.

Well, sir, if he does find them, it'll
be strictly because of that sixth sense

that we know so little about.

Yeah, if he does find them is right.

Now, don't tell me you don't think he
will.

Well, I don't know about this sixth
sense business, but I'll be interested

finding out.

You know, I'd also be interested in
finding out... How did you keep Paula

this experiment?

Believe me, it wasn't easy.

Boy, he's moving awfully fast with a
small lion cub.

Maybe the battery's dying out.

It shouldn't. We're brand new. It's the
last three weeks.

He's doing better than 30 miles an hour.

Well, that's ridiculous.

Of course it's ridiculous.

30 miles an hour?

Yeah.

Well, no lion cub can run that fast.

Well, not unless he's being chased by an
animal that can run 31 miles an hour.

We'd better get over there.

There's nothing here but an ostrich.

An ostrich is sure as egg don't eat
cubs.

Yeah, but they do travel at 30 miles an
hour.

Don't think.

Well, let's check them out.

Okay, hang on, Joe Jack. I'll try.

Hurry up.

I'm coming. I'm coming.

Hurry up, Mars. I'm coming. I got it
right here.

What are you doing?

Well, let's explain that one.

He ate it. He ate it.

How did he get it? How do I know how he
got it?

The problem is, how are we going to find
one lost cub?

We're miles from where we left him.

Well, I don't know how we're going to
find it, but I know we better do

or we're going to have to answer to
Paula.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, you got a point there.

Paula Tracy calling Dad.

Come in, please.

That's trouble.

Paula Tracy calling Dad.

Come in, please.

Yes. Dad?

Yes, Paula?

How's the cub? Are you still in contact
with it?

Well, he first went to the old
territory, as we expected.

And then?

Well, he's moved into the bush.

We're looking for him now.

But don't worry. Everything's under
control.

Oh, I'm not worried, Dad.

Well, I'm glad to hear that, honey.

Well, how's everything at the compound,
huh?

Oh, everything's just fine.

Hedley's here, and he's feeding
Clarence. That's nice.

Oh, Judy.

Oh, Judy?

Oh, well, Judy's around. About that cub,
Dad. I just want you to know that he's

in very good hands.

Well, thank you, honey. It's very nice
of you to say so.

And we'll keep in touch.

Now... Shouldn't sound a bit worried.

In good hands, she said.

In very good hands, indeed.

Oh, if he only knew what I really meant.

Secrets? Much too good to share,
Headley.

Well, that does about does it, Clarence,
old boy.

By the way, do you brush after every
meal?

I can't tell what's going to happen. At
this age, even a hyena's a danger.

All kinds of things can happen to it.
Even if it's a hyena, it's a danger.

I think it's hopeless here.

Let's set over to where Hedley said that
pride was.

You know, you're beginning to worry more
about that cub than you are the

experiment. Hedley calling Marsh Tracy.

You read me?

Glad that's not Paula.

Hedley calling Marsh Tracy.

Hedley calling Marsh Tracy.

You read me?

Yes, Hedley Marsh here.

Where are you? At the compound?

Uh, no, I'm at that stream about ten
miles south of Bazooka Village.

I've been checking on that pride of lion
for you. You know, the one that Paula's

cub belonged to.

Well, I'd hardly call it Paula's cub.

Oh, don't be for stickity, Marsh. You
know what I mean.

Well, the pride's moved out from the
ravine where the fever trees were. I

thought you'd like to know.

Well, where have they gone?

Well, who knows? Does it matter?

Well, yes, it matters a lot. We've lost
the cub.

Lost it?

Now, how could you possibly do that when
he was wearing one of your special

transmitters as a nectar?

Look, it so happens that an ostrich... I
don't think you believe me.

It doesn't matter how it happened,
Hedley. The point is that we've lost

Now, do you want to help us find him?

Yes, of course.

Well, we're just north of the Ambrosie
Plain, about three miles east of the

river. Can you join us here?

Yes, of course.

But how are you going to find one small
lion cub in all that bush? That's a

tough job.

We'll find him.

Think they could be Judy's?

Well, Jack, you're about as bad as Paul.
Every time you see chimpanzee tracks,

they just have to be Judy's.

Just a thought.

Oh, Marsh, we're wasting our time out
here. Oh, don't be pessimistic, Jack.

Now, I dare say the cub's not having an
easy time of it.

I only hope the little chap's lucky
enough or clever enough to stay alive.

are a danger.

There's a cloudburst up in the
mountains.

It should raise the water level of the
river in just about time, too.

Otherwise, we'd have a lot of thirsty
animals to worry about.

I'm more worried about that cub.

Dad should have called in by now.

Paula, Tracy calling Dr. Tari. Come in,
Dad. Over.

Paula, Tracy calling Dr. Tari. Come in.

Hedley here. Hello, Paula.

Hedley, is Dad there?

Oh, wait, I'll get him for you.

Marsh! Marsh!

Hedley, is the cub with you?

Well, no.

We seem to have lost it for the moment,
but... Oh, here's Jack. Jack, it's

Paula. She wants to know about the cub.

Oh, Hedley.

Hi, Paula.

Hey, look, about the cub.

Well, it's like this. We had a little
trouble and...

We've lost them.

I'm not particularly worried, but tell
me, how can you lose that cub with that

electronic device tied around its neck?

Here's Marsh.

Paula?

Well, we, uh, it seems that the cub lost
the transmitter, and, well, it seems

that an ostrich found it, and, um...

Well, you know how an ostrich will eat
almost anything.

Oh, no.

We found the ostrich, but we don't know
where the cub is.

We're looking for it now.

Honey, I'm sorry.

This was something that nobody could
foresee.

Well, don't worry about it too much,
Dad. I told you, the cub's in good

Yes, I'm glad you feel that way about
it.

I promise you, we'll find the cub.

We just sort of lost it.

Temporarily. Okay, Dad, over and out.

Out.

I'll say she took it well.

It's a good thing I have a lot more
confidence in Judy than I do in Dad's

electronic devices.

What's the matter, Mike?

I was just wondering how the cub managed
to lose that transmitter.

Somebody or some animal took it away
from him.

Judy? Who else?

Then I better do something about it.

Why not try telling Marsh the truth?

Tell him you sent Judy out to watch the
cow.

He never should have started this
experiment in the first place. Risking

life of a young animal.

Paula, we have to experiment or we'll
never learn anything. Unless we take a

small risk once in a while.

That's the essence of what we're trying
to do here.

To make a better life for all the
animals.

Can't you understand that?

All I understand is Dad has endangered
the life of an animal that can't even

care for himself.

Now I'm going to go out there and find
that cub.

Paula.

You don't even know where to look for
him.

No, but I do know where to find Judy.
She took her fishing rod, didn't she?

to tell her what I really think.

Well, she's going to find out sooner or
later.

What do you mean, Ma?

I don't think we'll ever find that cub.

Paula calling Dr. Harry. Come in, Dad.

Yes, Paula.

Where are you? At the compound?

No, Dad. I've joined in the search.

I'm at the Eula Riverbed.

How are you? Have you had any luck?
Well, no, not yet.

Look, we're about six miles northeast of
the bend in the river.

Henry's about, oh, eight miles to the
south of us. And I've asked some of the

natives to search the riverbanks. What
area would you like me to take?

Well, continue down the riverbed.

I'll tell Hedy to head north and we'll
go on west.

Out. Out. Let's go.

Judy, I thought you were keeping an eye
on that cub.

What a fine spy you turned out to be.

Okay, Judy, let's forget this fishing
bit. Now show me where the cub is.

Come on, Judy, show me where the cub is.

Judy.

You mean that cub's out there somewhere
all alone?

Oh,

Judy, if

you could only talk to the other
animals, they could tell us where the

I'll tell you what we do.

You stay here in case that cub comes
back, and I'm going to go out and look

the bush, okay?

Oh, Judy, if you could only talk to the
other animals, they could tell us where

the cub is.

Thank you.

awesome baby animal and the mother might
think it was threatening the baby.

are a danger.

I think we're in the right general area.

You want to head back over this way?

Yeah, I'll join you right away. Bring
you some expert tracking help.

Thank you.

I have a horrible instinctive kind of
feeling.

Oh?

Yeah. It's going to take more than
Hedley's expert tracking help to find

cub. Well, who's the pessimist now?

You might save a little for me.

And it's not the same pride.

Well, they'll kill him. And if I don't
release it and it is their cup, they'll

attack us.

You know, that little cub's family
thought I had stolen its cub.

That's right.

Well, the pride simply went looking for
its lost offspring.

It's like any family would.

So that's why the pride left the ravine.

Paul, um, you should have told me that
you sent Judy after that cub. Now, I

certainly hope you've learned a lesson
from all this.

Yes, Dad, I realize the cub belongs in
the bush, and I have learned a lesson.

I dare say Judy's learned a lesson, too.
