All language subtitles for Daktari s04e07 A Mans Man

That's funny!

24. Strong and steady, Pauline. Well,
good. And that new fee mixture's really

working.

Uh -huh.

Shows you what kind of a botany major I
am. I didn't think Fox Club grew in

Africa.

Well, average full of surprises, Ted.

I'm finding that out.

So, now all they do is cut down on the
digitalis to Peru, huh?

Right? Right.

And if Frida slips back to her old pulse
rate, we'll know we're on the right

track.

Hey, Marsh, I hate to interrupt these
animal studies with people problems, but

Ted's old man's due any minute.

Do I look okay? I mean, do I need a
shave?

You look just fine.

Well, it's just that the last time he
saw me, I was just a beardless boy.

A beardless boy.

The thing that concerns me is, where are
the blankets for the cots?

I left them on the clothesline. I'll
have the bunks made up in just a second.

That must be your dad.

I'll be with you in a couple of minutes,
Ted. I want to talk to Marge.

Please, Bart, it would make it a lot
easier. I mean, he wrote how you've

together, and I'm sure if it wasn't for
you, he wouldn't even come here.

Yeah, it could be you're right.

Maybe you and your old man do need a
guide to help you find each other.

Come on.

Take it easy. He's just a pet.

Hello, young lady.

How are you today?

Fine. My name's Chet. What's yours?

Jenny. And this is my little girl.

How are you, Jenny?

Well, what a pair of man -killers you're
going to be when you grow up.

And this has to be Clarence.

That's right.

And he's my friend.

He's quite a friend.

Bart, Jason.

Jack. Bart, you look wonderful. How are
you?

Mean and ornery as you heart knows. What
kept you? Oh, my bush pilot ran out of

bailing wire. Listen,

your boy got here two days ago.

Jack.

Let me take a look at you.

How are you, sir?

You know how long I've dreamed about
taking this boy on safari?

You told me.

Wait a minute. I brought something for
you.

Mm -hmm.

I adopted Dr. Trey for my daddy.

Here you go.

Is that for me, sir?

Look at it.

The best weapon made.

Well, thanks, but you keep it, sir.
Hunting's not my bag.

Not your bag?

Oh, don't worry.

Bart here will teach you how to bag the
limit. Right, Bart?

Not around here, Chet.

Warm Arrow's a no -kill area.

No kill?

Oh, aren't we going on safari?

Camera safari.

All the shooting we'll do is on film.

Oh, now, wait a minute.

Don't tell me the best professional
hunter in the business is spending his

helping old ladies take snapshots. If
you want a kill game, Bart will take you

into the free area.

Well, that's more like it. I'll just
hang around here.

You'll what? Oh, don't worry about me,
sir.

I'll work with Marsh.

He'll teach me more botany in one week
than I've learned all term. And who is

Marsh? Dr.

Torrey.

How do you like that?

I come all the way from Cape Town to
take my boy on safari, and he wants to

around this zoo.

Come on, sir. I'd like you to meet him.

This is Dr. Marsh Tracy, sir. Hi, how
are you, Mr. Ray?

Chet, my friend.

Chet? And this is Judy.

She's practically a member of the
family.

She is a member of the family.

Shake his hand, Judy.

Now give him a kiss.

How do you like that? A chimp that
greets you with a handshake and a kiss.

There's lots of surprises around here,
sir.

By the way, Bart, Paula says
everything's under control.

Thanks.

Would you like to have a look around the
place, Mr. Rainey? Oh,

fine. Come along.

So he's Chet the Martian, sir to you.

What do you mean?

Is Chet your old man or your commanding
officer?

Oh, I guess you knew. He sent me off to
military school when I was a kid. I

suppose it stuck.

He never answered my question.

I'm afraid I don't know the answer.

Let's go get the luggage.

Why don't you speak to him, Bart?

He'll listen to you.

And why don't you stop turning the boy
over to other people?

You're his father.

Yeah, I know.

All right, so I did speak to him. It's
like he said, he's not interested in

hunting. You mean with me?

No, no, he's like Marsh. I don't think
he'd kill an animal if his life depended

on it.

Well, he takes after his mother there.

She never would join me on a hunt.

Okay. It's always different than we are.

Nobody's to blame for that.

But who's to blame for what's happening
between you two now?

Me?

If you don't change your mind about a
camera safari, Chet, you're liable to

that boy for good.

Think about it.

I'm going back to the compound.

I'll see you in a half hour.

Isn't the baby cute, Judy?

Okay, I've zeroed in on one of your
sports.

Oh, good.

Let's have a look.

Oh, so you have, so you have.

That's nice work, Dad.

Dad?

Why would you spend some time with your
dad?

You know, you've barely seen him these
last two days.

But I thought you wanted me to help you.

Yes, but I thought you came here to be
on safari.

Dad did, maybe.

But I came to meet you.

African fauna and its effects on animal
behavior was the most definitive study

I've read.

Well, that's very flattering.

But I'm sure your dad can teach you a
few things, too.

Yeah, I guess he can. Like how to drill
for oil and...

Make a million.

Well, that's not easy.

Every wildcatter I've ever known went
broke.

Maybe if he had, he'd have come home
once in a while.

He wasn't even there when Mom died.

Well, did he know that she was ill?

I don't know.

He was in Africa.

But if he felt any guilt, he certainly
didn't show it.

What do you feel, Ted?

Sometimes... Sometimes I think I... I
don't even know him.

We're strangers.

Well, Ted, something made you come
halfway around the world just to be

Frankly, I don't think it was just to
study here.

What the hell is going on?

That sounds like Chet's getting in a
little target fight. Well, why didn't

stop him? He already had a little place
jumping out of his skin.

Well, why don't you tell him you're the
boss of the rancho?

Jenny, you and Judy stay here.

Really, what the devil are you doing
with that rifle?

Some pretty fancy shooting.

Care to join me?

You realize you disturbed every animal
in the compound?

Well, I'm sorry. I thought I was far
enough away. You know darn well you

weren't. So maybe I just wanted people
to know I'm around. All right, now they

know, so cut it out. All right, I'm
sorry.

Hey, Chet, what happened to your hand?

Oh, it's nothing. I stuck it on a thorn.

No, it's out.

Are you sure?

I don't need any nursing.

When you've knocked around as much as I
have, your hide gets pretty thick.

Like a rhino's. Oh, it's good to hear
you two agree for once. Now I'd like to

know when you're going to get started on
your safari.

Ask your assistant when he can spare the
time.

I think he'd rather keep his nose in a
microscope.

I've already fired him.

Well, so you call it, son.

After all I can always go back to Cape
Town. There's lots to do around there.

And if it weren't Cape Town, it'd be New
Delhi or Timbuktu.

Look, I'm not running out on you.

Do you think I like shooting at cans?

At least they don't bleed.

I'll make a deal if you will.

A camera safari is good enough for me.

Oh, I'm sure Ted will agree to that,
won't you, Ted?

Yes, I guess it's okay with me too.

Well, good.

Then we can get started.

Here's something you won't see in a
microscope.

Lean back, sir.

You guys want to stop so you can get a
better shot?

Why don't you pretend back where you can
really shoot the action? Oh, you want

to drive, is that it?

What's the matter?

Hanging around that zoo made you suck?

All right, hard nose.

But you be careful.

Don't break an axle, hear me?

Don't let me have your glasses. Can't
see without them.

Now look, Chet. Hurry up or we'll never
catch you.

Grab this car.

Those animals aren't going to wait for
us. Come on.

Take it easy, Chet.

Okay, boy, let's move it.

What's he trying to do, run him down?

I don't know. Maybe he thinks the
camera's voice is too tame. With

What do you think you're doing? What's
the matter, Bart? Eating through his

back there? No, I'm not eating through
his dust. Then why don't you call it

quits?

It's Ted.

Ted.

Leave him alone, Bart. Now look, Chet,
I'm responsible for this safari. He's

just car sick.

I don't want any baby stuff out here.

He's with me now, not his mama.

And you're with me.

From now on, I'm giving the orders.

Hello, Dr. Torrey.

Hello, young lady. I thought you were
asleep.

What's the matter?

You like Chet.

Yes, I like Chet.

You like Ted, too?

Well, of course, don't you? How come
they don't like each other?

Oh, they do.

They get awful angry at each other.

Well, that's only normal.

Don't we fight sometimes?

Haven't you seen me get angry with
Paula?

And Judy.

And Judy.

But that doesn't mean we don't love each
other, does it?

I guess that people want the person they
love to be perfect.

She's perfect.

She doesn't play too hard or scratch?

Maybe just a little bit.

Just a little bit.

So what happens then? You scold her,
don't you?

Well, that's the way it is with Ted and
Chet.

They each expect the other to be
perfect.

Of course, that's impossible because
each has a different idea of what

means.

You know, Jenny, it's not easy to be a
parent.

We want so much for those we love.

And we sometimes expect too much from
them.

Well, anyway, all I want is...

For you to grow up to be a healthy,
normal, happy little girl who loves Dr.

Harry.

Jenny.

Jenny.

Hit the deck, son.

Ted.

Come on, Ted. Rise and shine.

What's for breakfast?

Little eggs, bacon, coffee.

How about guinea ham?

I saw a fine covey down by the stream.

That old trigger finger of yours is
still itching, huh?

Well, why leave them for the hawks and
the weasels?

Because that's the way it is in this
area.

Oh, fine.

So what do we shoot for the family album
today?

Uh, how about some leopard, huh?

Adjust cameras?

Why not?

If you don't hurt them, they won't hurt
you.

That's what you think, son.

Let me tell you something.

There are only two kinds of animals in
this world.

Those who hunt, those that are hunted.

Is that why you sent me off to military
school?

Not exactly.

And why we're on this safari? Maybe I
thought the right environment would make

man of you. Funny.

I thought man came out of his cave a
long time ago.

Did he?

Isn't it still dog eat dog?

We got out of the jungle because we
could share what we learned. When I was

age, mister, there wasn't anything to
share.

You either took or you starved.

Okay. So now you've got gushes of loot.

What good is it?

Can you spend it on mom?

She's dead.

Me? I don't want it. We can't bring her
back, Ted.

The only wealth you can keep.

is what you can give away.

A new generation, Bart.

Do you dig it?

No more than my old man Doug Me.

He never did think I could do anything
right.

He was a hunter, too, wasn't he?

Yeah.

Yeah. I'm always trying to prove myself
a better man than he was.

He'd be proud of you now.

Yeah, maybe.

Like someday you'll be proud of him,
huh?

Hello, Officer Hedby.

Hello, Jenny.

Where's Daktari?

Inside.

How's the baby?

She's perfect, except when she scratches
and bites.

Oh?

Then I scold her because I love her. My
goodness, that's very interesting. Tell

me more.

Well, if I didn't love her, I wouldn't
scold her.

But if I didn't scold her, she wouldn't
think I love her. See?

Oh, yes, yes, yes, quite, quite.

Wonderful grasp of psychology.

Oh, Marsh.

Oh, Ellie.

Marsh, tell me, how do you keep up with
this amazing child?

Oh, just by trying to stay out of her
way.

How are you, anyway? I'm just fine,
Marsh.

This Cablegram just came for Chester
Rainey. It's from Cape Town.

He and his son just left on safari
yesterday with Bart.

Oh. Well, sometimes these things bring
bad news.

Why don't we give him a call? Mind if I
use your radio?

By all means.

Fine.

Hey, Chet, get this, huh?

Okay.

Romero calling Jason. Do you read, over?

Marsh, I read you. This is Bart. Go
ahead.

Now, listen, Bart.

Tell Chet that Eddie just arrived with a
cable for him from Cape Town. Ask him

if he wants us to read it.

Cape Town.

I know what it is already.

They must have hit salt water at 2 ,500
feet.

Go ahead.

Read it, Marsh.

Salt water at 2 ,500 feet.

Suggest cancel site 7.

Advise. Cape Town office.

This is Chet.

Table of one word reply.

Cancel. That all? Cancel?

That's it.

Okay. Out.

Does... Does that mean you're going
back?

What, and cancel the safari?

Well, I mean... Well, I don't want you
to think that...

Well, because of me. Well, that's
exactly what you've always accused me

Running off somewhere instead of staying
with you. I know, but Ted, if you think

this safari idea is a bust, just say so.

No, honest, sir.

That's not what I meant. I... Hey, I'm

ready any time you guys are.

Is that your leopard country?

Yeah, that's their home base up there.

How about snapping a couple of those
cats in color?

Anything you say, sir.

Hey, just make sure they don't snap you
guys first, huh?

I don't want any heroes trying to get
head close -ups.

Don't worry about me. This is a
telescopic lens.

Why the gun, Bart?

Don't force me to use it or Marshall
will shoot me.

I don't want to bring home any dead
cats.

They don't like to be cornered.

And of course, being cats, they'll chase
anything that runs.

I see. The hunters and the hunted.
That's right.

Chet, don't forget those last words of
wisdom, huh?

Oh, I'll be good. I promise.

And harden those.

You remember whose side you're on.

Oh, sure.

It's tough when you're not used to it,
huh, Ted?

Pretty country, though.

Well, if we weren't looking for cats,
I'd be hunting for oil shale.

And I'd be looking for specimens.

Hey, Bart.

What kind of a plant is this with the
seed pods?

I don't know, Ted.

It's that toy's department.

We'll ask him when we get back.

Yeah, Marsh would know.

Chet, Chet, there's a cat.

Let's get him.

Go around that way, Bart.

I'll circle the other way.

Drive in between us and I'll nab him
with this.

Ted, stick with us.

Stand still!

Stand your ground!

He knocked himself out when he fell.

He fainted.

That's not what I said.

He may look like his mother, but he's
still my kid.

I don't have the cover for him.

Neither do I.

Chet, he's got a bump on his head.

Nothing.

Now, look.

What does it take to convince you that
it's not his fault your pride's hurt?

What happened?

He took a spill.

Here.

Wipe your face.

And behind your ears.

Oh, that hurt.

Where's the leopard?

I scared him away. It took a couple of
shots.

It sure scared me.

You ran like a rabbit.

I'm sorry, Dad.

Where are you going?

To the truck.

I'm calling Romero.

What for?

Tell him we're coming back in the
morning.

Jet.

Jet.

Come on, wake up.

Come on, wake up.

You got what you wanted. Ted took my
rifle and went leopard hunting.

He what?

How long ago?

I don't know. Your guess is as good as
mine.

But he's on his own out there.

I thought you wanted him to act like a
man.

Are you crazy?

That boy doesn't know one end of a gun
from the other. You know, you almost

sound like a father.

I think one of us better search that
ridge. Let me.

No, it's too risky without a gun. I
brought mine.

You did what?

Just in case. It's behind the seat. Move
forward, will you? Okay. I'll

drive over that way. I can cover more
ground in the truck.

Okay.

Jet, be careful.

I will.

Where's Dad?

He's out looking for you.

I'm sorry.

It just dawned on me how stupid this
was.

Yeah, it seems to run in the family.

Well, I just wanted to show him. I know,
but you don't have to prove yourself a

man. Maybe not to you.

Look, forget it, okay? Let's go find
your old man.

Funny, they should have been back by
now.

Well, maybe they're getting some good
pictures and forgot to call in.

What on earth is going on here?

Come on, you two, play quietly.

But she's too big to play with my baby
toys.

She's right, Judy.

Now you go play with your own thing.

Judy didn't mean to upset you, Jenny.

I know, but if I don't scold her now and
then, she'll think I don't love her.

I wonder where she got that idea.

Jenny, you run along now and make up to
Judy.

Go on, Jenny.

Come on, Dad's got a lot on his mind.

All right.

Judy, Judy, apologize to me.

If anything goes wrong on that safari,
it'll be my fault.

Why?

Well, if I'd have minded my own
business, they wouldn't have gone.

He's got a rifle. He knows enough to
answer.

Maybe he thinks we'll meet him back at
camp.

Uh, Bart, this is Marsh. Do you read,
over?

Hello, Bart, this is Marsh. Do you read,
over?

Yeah, Marsh.

Uh, listen, Bart, what happened?

Chet said you'd be back early.

Well, I thought we would, but, uh...
Well, Chet's out looking for Ted.

Looking for Ted? Why? Where's Ted?

Well, it's a bit complicated, Marsh.

Chet doesn't answer my rifle shots.

And I don't think it's anything to get
worried about.

We haven't even started looking for him
yet.

Ted thinks he may have gone back to our
last campsite.

Where are you now?

Directly south of the Zerubi waterhole.

I'm going back to our last campsite and
leave a note for Chet to stay put if he

arrives. That's a good idea.

I'll tell you what.

I'll come on out and join you.

If I take the shortcut through Zerubi
Gorge, I can meet you at Camel Hub in

about an hour.

Out. Out.

Yes, honey, but I'll be back soon.

Now, listen, you do what Paula tells you
to and be a good girl, huh?

I'm always good.

You always are.

Come on, Jimmy.

Miss Judy.

Looks like everybody's getting lost.

I might have known.

Okay, come on, get up there.

It's too late to take it back now.

Do you see him?

No. But don't worry, that moose is
indestructible.

Let me have your pad and pen.

You know, by the time we reach Camel
Hunt, Marsha will be waiting for us.

Bart, if he's around here, he should
have heard the horn by now.

Don't worry.

We'll find him, and when we do, Chet
will be roaring mad because we kept him

waiting.

Hang on.

Oh, God.

Have you found them?

No. We just arrived a few minutes ago.

I thought I could circle in the truck
and come up from the other side.

That's a good idea.

Take and stay with me.

Ted? You keep in sight of Mars. These
canyons are like a maze.

Take these up to Ted.

We were on the upper ridge yesterday,
where Bart thought Dad would be heading.

Well, it's as good a place as any to
start.

Judy?

Come on, this is one time you might be
helpful.

I ran into the leopard yesterday.

Or I should say I ran.

Bart almost had to shoot him because of
me.

That's why I carry this.

One of these darts will bring down
almost anything without hurting it.

This is Bart.

Come in, Marsh.

Yeah, Bart?

I'm on my way in. Any signs yet?

No, not a thing.

Look, we're heading towards the top of
the ridge, moving west.

Okay, watch out for cats.

I know.

Ted told me.

Out.

Okay, Ted.

Just keep checking that side, and I'll
check this.

Oh, and watch for any sudden movement of
birds or game. They can tip off a lot.

That's the echo.

The first sound came from down there,
right? I think so.

Bart.

I read you, Marsh. Go ahead.

Look, we just heard a rifle shot in the
ravine directly west of us. We're

heading down.

I'm on my way over.

Hey, Ted, keep your eyes peeled.

That's Dad's, all right.

Okay, let's spread out. And yell if you
see anything.

I think Judy's found something.

What's wrong with him, Marshal?

I don't know.

Looks like an acute anaphylactic
reaction of some sort.

Must be a snake bite, maybe an insect.

Give me some water.

Bart?

Yeah? We found him.

He's in bad shape.

What's wrong with him?

Don't know.

He's in a ravine on the west slope.

I'll tell you what, look for Judy.

Right.

Get up there and yell when you see Bart.

His arm is swollen.

See?

It's a puncture.

Jed?

Jed, listen to me.

This is important.

Did you get punctured by a thorn again?

Yeah.

He's had an eliciting dose of foreign
protein.

Second puncture must have triggered it
off.

Is there an antidote?

Yes.

Some form of steroid, but we never get
him back to the compound in time.

Don't tuberous roots provide that?

Yes, they do.

You know what to look for?

Okay. But hurry, he's in state of shock.

Okay.

Ted, take the dart rifle, too. You may
need it.

Judy! Judy, where are they?

Ted, stand still.

Nice shot, Ted.

Well, let's move it. That cat will be up
in a few minutes.

The two grassroots did it, huh?

That's right.

So you see, Ted was the one who saved
your life.

Yeah, and he bagged that cat, too.

He what?

Don't worry, he used your dart gun. It
was a beautiful shot.

It's just like I said, Hard Nose, the
kids are rainy.

Quite a man, too.

Yeah.

I can see that now.

It's been quite a safari, eh, Bart?

Yeah, but no trophies.

No, but...

I got what I came for.

How about your next vacation, Ted?

I understand the Amazon rainforest is a
partner's dream.

Hey, sure, Dad.

Only I heard it was an oil man's
paradise.

How do you like that?

Now who the heart knows.

Let's shake on it.

It's a deal.
