All language subtitles for The Lion - 1962 SR

Thank you.

Hello.

Hello.

Well, you're looking
rather fit.

You look fit yourself.

Isn't Tina with you?

Well, I thought
that we should talk first.

What did you tell her?

Oh, just that
you'd be here.

And bullit?

I told him that you'd

planned a trip to Africa
and would like to...

Drop by.

Did he believe that?

I think so.

So, neither one of them
knows that you wrote me?

You really are desperate,
aren't you?

Yes. Yes, I am.

Well, why didn't you
pack her off to Europe
to school,

or to america?
I wrote you that.

Because I'm not sure
that it would be right.

In other words,
you want me to make
the decision

as to whether you're right.

Or wrong.
I could be wrong.

That's quite
an admission from you.

Oh, please, Robert. Don't.

Tina needs help.
Please help.

All right,
I'll give it a try.

I thought it would be
easier on all of US

if you stayed
in the guest house.

Where else?

It's not bad, you know.

Bogo, this is Mr. Hayward.

Hello. Make bath
for bwana now.

Later, bogo.
Take the bags in
and take care of the car.

For me?

Well, it's not for
your husband.

I saw it in a hotel
in Nairobi.

I remember you used
to like it.

Thank you very much.

Where is bullit?
Won't be back
until afternoon.

Some trouble
with poachers.

And Tina?

She's off somewhere.

She'll come when
she's ready.

She's quite independent.

But she'll show up...

If only to see if she
remembers what her
father looks like.

Well, if you have
everything, I'll leave.

When breakfast is ready,
I'll send bogo.

Wait a minute.
Don't you worry

about Tina straying
off into the bush?

You know I worry
about Tina...

But not for her safety.

Not that way.

What way, then?

What's to become of her
in this wild place,

nothing but primitives
and animals for companions?

Two hundred miles
away from nowhere.

She must have a normal
life and education.

Chris, I agree with you
100 percent,

but a school would--
it's not that simple!

Be patient.
You'll see.

And Robert...

You're not to leave
the compound without
a ranger.

It's a game reserve,
a sanctuary for
the animals.

You know.

I promise not to bite
the animals.

( Chuckles softly )

Thank you for the perfume.

( Screeching )

( Wildlife sounds )

( Wildlife sounds )

Tina: Stop there.

Don't go any further.

I shouldn't have
sent for you.

Did you?

You sent for me?

'Course.

Nicholas the monkey,

and then simbaline.

She's the gazelle.

Shh.

They're my pets.
They belong to me.

They're quite tame.

They'll let
anybody pet them.

In fact, they're just
like cats and dogs, really.

Not like my wild creatures.

You can't get close to them.

But you do.

( Elephant trumpeting )

( Bellowing )

Tina: They're my friends.

They know me.
They trust me.

They don't know you,
and anyway,

visitors aren't allowed
out of the compound

without a ranger along.

My father sees to that.

Your father?

I'm Tina bullit.

You must know
my father, John bullit.
He's the warden here.

Do you know who I am?

You used to be my father.

I still am.

Not a real father.

I'll try and be
friendly with you,
for my mother's sake.

But I don't feel friendly.

Do you hate me?

No, I don't.

Maybe when
I was very little.

Did your mother
ever try to explain...

Oh, she's always explaining.

How she asked you
to stay away so I
wouldn't be confused.

But you shouldn't have
stayed away.

What should I have done?
I don't know.

I don't know as much
about people as I do
about animals.

Anyway... if you had
really loved me,

you would come to see me,
sometime, somehow.

Animals don't forget
their cubs.

Tina?

Tina?

Would you
like something else?

Oh, no. No, thanks.

( Speaking native language )

We tried a boarding school
in Nairobi.

At first she seemed
to accept the idea.

It didn't last.

She ran away like
some wild creature who
escaped from a cage.

She turned up here.

Bullit was delighted.
Openly.

He thinks he
has created her
in his own image.

In fact, he has.
She even speaks like him.

And you don't approve.

How is it
with bullit and you?

Oh, fine.

Why do you ask?

I'm not sure.

The question occurred
when I first read your letter.

Did you think
I sent that letter
just to get you here?

Well, I'm here.

The legal mind again.

The brilliant junior partner
of hayward & hayward

challenging the motives
of the witness.

Well, it is your daughter
who concerns me,
Robert hayward,

and it is your daughter
who should concern you.

Still the terror
of the courtroom.

Still the egotist.

My, oh, my.

Come on, Chris,
let's have some more coffee.

I guess I am an egotist.

I thought you were
glad to see me.

I-I was
glad to see you, Rob.

Thank you.

And I'm glad that,
uh, everything is good
between you and bullit.

Why wouldn't it be?

Oh...

When a woman tames
a great white hunter--

cages him--

the rogue male
may go gently... at first.

Forget it. I guess
I am needling you.

She looked well.

Tina?

Oh, she is.

And she's bright.
Terribly bright.

Like you.

I thought so.

What little I saw of her,
her life seems like

every child's dream.

Rich and full.

Do you remember the last time
we saw each other,

in Nairobi?

Do you remember
what you said to me?

Every word.

I said...

Africa has bewitched you.

Well... Africa
has bewitched Tina.

It hasn't hurt you.
Why should it hurt her?

I was grown.
I'd had my share
of the other life.

I... I chose
to live here.

It was a choice.

When Tina is grown,
if she goes on this way,
she'll have no choice.

She'll marry a man
like bullit...

And she'll be happy
the way her mother is happy.

First, you must
come and see some of
the Africa that I know.

You owe her that,
and I owe you that.

Then, if you
think she belongs...

Well, come on.
I'll show you
some of Africa.

( Grunting sounds )

( High-pitched squeals )

Right there,
behind that tree! Look!

( Laughing )

What's the matter?

We have to back up.

Well, why don't
they step aside
and let US go by?

This tribe steps aside
for no man, and few beasts.

This reserve once
belonged to them,

and they still
have a right to
go through it

and set up their
menyatas-- camps--
wherever they like.

Jambo.

That young one looks
wild enough.

The old one with the scars,
who's he?

That's old kalu,
the chief.

The young one
is his son ouriounga.

The crown prince?

Ouriounga is a warrior.

His tribe are great
lion-killers.

Is it good eating, lion?

Oh, Robert,
cattle is their meat.

They have large herds.

Some they own,
some they steal.

They have no scruples
for other people's property.

Last night in the barnyard,

I heard a man talking about
what a great lion-killer
bullit was...

In his time, that is.

This tribe admires
bullit for it.

I can understand why.

He also thinks that, uh,

other people's property
is his for the taking.

Oh, Robert,
I was not your property.

Bullit did not steal me.

You always call him bullit?
Everybody does.

Are you trying
to needle me again?

'Course not.

I just thought that
by now you'd be on
more intimate terms.

There are times
when I call him John.

Three elephants and a rhino
were found dead yesterday

with their tusks
and horns missing.

I want you to order your boys
to comb the whole reserve.

I want every one of
the poachers brought in.

Is that understood?

All right.
Company dismissed.

Well...
( Laughing )

( Child crying )

I think I know
who that is.

( Child crying )

( Excited voices )

Hello, hayward.
Hello, bullit.

Where is Tina off to?
Anything wrong?

No.

She's got her back up
about something

ever since your talk
with her this morning
at the water hole.

( Chuckles )
She didn't tell me.

The old fellow,

my tracker kihoro,
he's also her shadow.

I didn't
see him this morning.

That's the idea, sport.

Even Tina doesn't know.

She thinks she's always
alone with her wild ones,

so don't you spoil it
by telling her.

That's why I don't worry
when she goes off alone.

Isn't he a little old
for the job?

( Chuckles )

He can kill anything
with one shot.

Did you get fixed up
all right at the guest house?

Comfortable?
Oh, yes. Fine.
Thank you.

Christine says you're
on business in Nairobi.

How long are you
staying with US?

Don't rush me, bullit.
I just got here.

Stay as long as you like.

Get to see the whole reserve,
see all the game.

I'd like that.

Bullit, this must be
kind of a dull life
for you.

No more safaris for
the great white hunter.

A man can't take
his wife and child
on safari.

And he'd be a fool
to leave a woman
like this alone.

Especially when there
are poachers about.

( Chuckles )
Right, sport.

Raaahhh!

( Kihoro laughing )

Tina: Oh, you're
good fun, kihoro!

But no tell daddy!

Come on, let's go
and see king.

Rather posh for
an ex-husband, isn't it?

( Speaking native language )

Why don't we eat
out on the veranda?
It'll be cooler.

It will be cool soon.

( Animal howling outside )

It's almost dark.
Where is that child?

Probably outside the window,

watching her mother make
a perfect fool of herself.

( Speaking native language )

You mean this?
You didn't complain

when I put on a display
for your commissioner.

What's he doing here,
anyway?

Robert wants to be sure
that Tina has more
to her life than...

Than eating in mud huts
and...

It's a bit late
for him to care.

He's got a nerve.

Won't say how long
he's staying.

He's just arrived.

Then he can damn well leave.

Please don't be rude.

For me. Please.

That's better.

It's time Tina learned
a little about this
kind of thing.

You don't want her
to grow up completely wild.

Why not?

She's your daughter.
She'll have your kind
of appetite.

You didn't leave
hayward for the finer
things of life.

While he was playing
the big lawyer

and flying all over
the world,

you didn't
think it was wild

to come on safari
with me, did you?

Bullit: Hmm?

Come in, hayward.
I'll fix you a drink.

Thank you.

Present for Tina.
Thank you.

( Bellowing roar outside )

Sorry I'm late,

but king insisted
on seeing me home.

( Breathlessly )
Do sit down.
I won't be long.

Who is king?

King is a full-grown lion.

He happens to be Tina's
constant companion,
her best friend.

Yes, you should see them
romping together.

It's quite a sight.
I can imagine.

Man on radio: Peter one
calling Peter four.

Excuse me.

Peter one calling
Peter four.

How do you read me?
Over.

Peter four hears
Peter one. Over.

"And here,
in this forbidden place,

"where trees were spun
of dark green lace,

"the lion fell
beneath the spear

"and Rose again
as it came clear

to kill."

That's beautiful.

It isn't easy
to read poetry.

But it's about the tribe
that's on the reserve now,

so I understand it.

They're very brave,

like lions themselves.

They hunt lions with nothing
but a shield and a spear.

Most of them get killed,
like the one in this poem.

All the old ones have been
chewed up, scarred.

Like that old man
we saw today.
Old kalu?

You saw kalu?

We passed him
and his son.

Ouriounga's
a fine specimen,

but I have to keep
my eye on him.

Can't have him going after
my lions on the reserve.

Another Brandy, hayward?

Oh, no thanks.
I-I've had enough.

I have a present for you.

Here it is.

Oh.

There you are.

Say thank you
and open it.

No, no, no, no, no.

Open it and then...
...Say thank you!

( Light chuckle )

Oh, it's beautiful.

I haven't
got a hand mirror,

just a small mirror
over my washbowl.

This is lovely.

Thank you very much.

I must show it
to daddy. Daddy?

Bullit: I'm in
the dining room, dear.

She reads well,
doesn't she?

Oh, not only
does she read well,

but she understands
what she's reading.

That's the most
important thing.

You've done
a fine job, Chris.

Well, I've tried
to surround her
with books, music.

Well, quite honestly,

I can't see why you're
so worried about her.

I am, Robert.

Handsome pheasant.

Cost a pretty penny, too.

Mummy always liked
those fine old things.

We must give him
something in return.

Yes! I'll give him
a monkey for a pet.

Why don't you
take him to meet king?

That'd flatter him.

Yes.
Shows that you think
enough of him...

...to introduce him
as a friend.

Yes, yes.
I will tomorrow.
That's good.

Good night, dear.

( Giggles )

( Wildlife sounds )

Has bogo gone?

Yes, yes.

I didn't want him
to see me.

I wanted you to come
and meet a friend of mine.

A friend?

You mean, uh,
your lion friend, king?

How did you know?

Oh, I have magic powers.
When do we go?

You aren't scared?

No. Should I be?

Not if I'm with you,

but mummy would be scared
if we told her.

She worries.

That's why I didn't
want bogo to hear.

He tells her everything.

I can keep a good secret.

Well, we'll just
take off now.

We'll be back for lunch.

Then you can tell mummy.

King will like you,
if I explain who you are--

my father, and so on.

You won't believe me,

but king understands
everything I tell him.

If I tell him to be
your friend, he will,

but I could make him
kill you.

I hope you won't.

( Laughter )

Memsaab!

Memsaab!
What is it, bogo?

They have gone
into the forest.

Who?
Missy and bwana
hayward, alone.

Where's kihoro?
I-I don't know.

They've gone to see king.
Get the car. Hurry!

Come on!

Tina: Don't get lost!

Bit slippery here.

( Giggles )

Come on!

( Hissing )

Must not touch snakes.

Poison!

Thanks.

Thanks very much.

( Wildlife chittering )

( Laughing )

Stay there.
Don't come until I call.

( Deep growls )

( Deep growls )

Stay there.

King...

( Deep growl )

Don't be afraid.
Just don't move yet.

Just wait.

( Speaking native language )

I'm telling him
you're a friend.

Now come one step.

Just one.

Now one more.
Only one.

( Low growl )
Down!

Down, king!

Down, king! Down!

Now another one,
if you're not afraid.

Now just keep coming,
one step at a time.

Let him smell your hand,

and then pet him
between the eyes.

( Growl )
Down, down, down!

Now pet him
between the eyes.

Good. He knows you.

But now start talking until
he gets used to your voice.

Say something.

I'm not sure I can.

You got an awful scare,
didn't you?

( Chuckles )
What makes you think that?

( Laughing softly )

Well, he knows you now.

I've picked the best time
to introduce you.

King's had a good kill.
His stomach's full.

Do you think
he'd mind if I had

an after-dinner
smoke with him?

( Laughing )
No, not at all.

King obeys beautifully.

He always
does what I tell him.

You watch, I'll show you.

Come on, old fellow.
( King bellowing )

Wee! That's fun!

Come on!

No!

( Laughing )

Over again!
Come on, fellow!

( Tina laughing,
king roaring )

No, king, stop it!

No, king!

No, please, king.
No, not too much.

You see?

That's...
Quite something.

And also beautiful.

Do you really think
king is beautiful?

Magnificent.

Well, he's mine.

He belongs to me,
and I belong to him.

I've got absolute
control over him.

He does everything
I tell him.

He could tear you to pieces
if I wanted him to.

Mmm.

Up, king, up.

( Low growl )

Tina: I'll show you
something now.

Just you watch.

( Tina speaking
native language )

I only have
to give the word.

You want to see?
You want to?

Tina, stop it.
Enough of this nonsense.

Down, king. Get down.

I'm sorry.

I wouldn't have
let him hurt you.

I was only playing.

You'd better go now,

or king will be disturbed
the rest of the day.

But don't worry,

I'll explain everything
to him.

There's an easy path
that way.

It leads you straight
back to the compound.

You mean that wild trek
was unnecessary?

I thought you'd like
a real taste of the bush.

If you're afraid
to go alone,

king and I will
escort you.

I'm not that afraid.

You saw that?

Yes.

All the time,
I kept thinking that...

Well, no matter what happens,
I was being damn brave.

Very.

Very damn brave.

Mummy kissed him, king!

She kissed him!

( Low growl )

Careful, Tina!

King has taken a mate.
She didn't know.

King.

King?

Where are you going?

King?

Please, darling,
come with US.

I don't need any of you!
King will look after me!

King!

Wait for me!

King!

King!

King!

King!

Where are you?

Tina, please come back.

Go away!

King!

( Growling )

( Hissing )

( Roaring )

King!

I knew you loved me.

You saw.
King chose me.

He's mine.

( Speaking native language )

Stay away from her.

You naughty thing.

King will see me home.
He really loves me.

Now you're beginning
to see?

If I hadn't seen it...

Well, I wouldn't have
believed it.

It's like witchcraft.

Now do you understand,
king?

I don't want you to have
anything more to do

with that nasty
lioness again.

Who does she think she is?

She's tucked in,
sound asleep.

She was exhausted.

Well... it's been
an exhausting day.

What about her, Rob?

I'll, uh,
talk to bullit.

Talk?

Talk. Both of you
being polite men
of the world.

What do you want me
to do, slug him?

It isn't all
his fault, you know.

What a fool I was
to fall for all of that

about a child
being better off
with its mother.

What a damn fool!

I was a fool to ask it.

You were once bewitched
by all of this.

The mirage has gone,
hasn't it?

That's
why you sent for me.

For Tina's sake.

Need I keep reminding you
that she's your child too?

( Scoffs ) That
connection was severed

before I had a chance
to be her father.

In a sense,
it never existed.

Neither one of US
can remember it.

With you and me,
it's different...

...because it's you
I remember,

and you remember me.

I let you go so easily.

Just for the asking.

You didn't care!
I cared!

Please, Robert,
do me a favor.

Could I sent your dinner
to the guest house?

I want to talk
to bullit alone.

Now that I'm ready
to help you,

you don't need me.

Bullit has eyes
and ears

through the whole reserve.

I'm sure that he will know
all that went on today.

You mean...

He'll know that...

You kissed me?

Yes. That too.

All the more reason
for me to stay.

Hello, hayward.

Hear you've had
quite a day.

Hear you've met king.

Did you also hear that
king has taken a mate?

That's right.
( Chuckles )

And Tina put her
in her place.

Hardly a laughing matter.

Well, that depends
on your sense of humor.

You have to have
a rugged one for
this country.

This no place
for the oversensitive.

Or for children.

It's been a long day.
I... thought that Robert

might enjoy a quiet
dinner, alone.

Nonsense, darling.

No one in
his right mind
is going to pass up

dinner with
someone like you.

Right, hayward?

Right, sport.

And after dinner,

I'll get out the snapshots
of Tina and king.

They'll make you
proud of her.

Proud as I am.

Would you like more coffee?
No, thanks.

Here you are.
Take a look at
some of these.

That's how it all started.

I found that little
fellow wandering around
the bush on his own.

Couldn't have been more
than five weeks old.

May have left his mother,
or his mother may have
been killed.

I brought him back,
really, to show Tina.

As soon as she saw him,
it was love at first sight.

Look at this one.

She called him king,

and from the beginning,
he lived like one.

Here. He looks rather more
than a cub here, doesn't he?

He'd be about eight months.

That was about the time
that Christine got angry

with him,
running round the house.

Well, he chewed up
all my armchairs,

tore my best
tablecloths to shreds,

battered
the lovely screen.

Well, you remember, Rob--
the one you brought me
back from Japan.

Quite an active animal.

How did you, uh,
get him to leave?

Well, that had
to be faced.

It was a question of choosing
between king staying

and Christine leaving.

How long ago was that?

About a year ago.

I took him in the back
of the Land Rover

and took him to the edge
of the forest.

It wasn't a simple matter,

getting him to live
in his new home.

How did Tina take
all of this?

Oh, she's perfectly
contented.

Why shouldn't she be?
Nothing really changed.

Instead of king
living here with her,

now she practically
lives in the forest
with king.

Now, now, darling,
it's not as bad as that.

Of course she visits him
every day.

That's perfectly natural.

They were brought up
together.

They love each other.

It would be inhuman
to keep them apart.
Don't you agree, David?

Of course, of course.

More Brandy?
No, thanks.

I-I think I'd better
turn in, get some sleep.

Thanks for showing me
the pictures.

Thought you'd enjoy them.

And, um-- I did--
thanks for the lovely dinner.

Don't sleep in too late.

I'm taking you for a tour
round the reserve.

Ah. Looking forward
to that.

Good night.
Good night.

I think we convinced
hayward that Tina
is happy,

don't you, darling?

I agree.

Haven't you got a kiss
for me too?

( Chuckles )
Just thought I'd mention it.

Wasn't necessary.
I knew you knew.

( Chuckles )
You never think
it's necessary

to explain any of
your actions, do you?

I like it that way.

You know you're somebody,
and you never forget it.

Neither do I.

And neither does hayward.

John, listen to me.

Tina is in trouble.

She's under
a great strain.

You don't know
what it's like.

You tell me.

And tell me what it's like
to be a little girl

who sees her mother
kissing a man

she thinks is a stranger.

And is.

And had better
remain so.

( Wildlife sounds )

( Wildlife sounds )

( Chittering )

( Chittering )

Oh, shut up, Nicky.

I'm sorry. I didn't
mean to disturb you.

Oh, that's all right.

I just saw
the picture album,
you and king.

Hm?

Oh! That was when
we were both very young.

I can see why he
loves you so much.

I love him just as much.

Just as much.

Well...

Because you love him
so much,

you've got to be
careful not to take
advantage of him.

I don't understand.

Well, for instance, uh...

There are many things
that you do without king.

I mean, you go about
in a Jeep,

you eat your dinner
at a table,

you live in a house.

And these are the things
that king can't do with you.

Mm-hmm.

And because
he loves you so much,

he allows you
to do these things
without him.

He allows you to
live your kind of life.

You must allow him
to live his.

I see.

You mean...

I shouldn't try
and stop king from...

I shouldn't try and stop
king from having a mate,
that's what you mean.

Yes.

I suppose I'll have
to get used to it,

and so will king.

But we'll never stop
loving each other,

never.

Of course not, dear.

Everything
and everybody needs love.

Always remember that.

Listen, chum, I think
we'd better get some sleep.

I understand we're off
on the grand tour
tomorrow.

Yes, daddy told me.

'Night, Mr. Hayward.

I mean...

Good night.

Good night.

Well, there it is.

My Africa.

Take a good look.

It was here
before the beginning of time.

I wouldn't change it
for anything.

Rhino!

Let's go and say hello!

Bullit: I put a lot down
three days ago.

Big herds have
been through.

Tina: Game loves salt.

Daddy sees that they
get plenty of it.

Well, I have
a large family.

I'll take you down
to the plains now.

This is a menyata,
a camp.

These people are migrants.

They have very few
possessions--

just their cattle
and themselves.

Soon they'll move on.

Look, daddy,
there's the old chief.

I want to hear
what he's saying.

( Speaking native language )

It's his old wound.
It's opened up again.

( Speaking native language )

Tina: When he was
a young warrior,

he killed his lion.

And now his lion
is getting his revenge.

He's calling him
to join him in death.

Soon he will die.

Do you really believe that?

About the lion calling him?

Of course.

( Greetings
in native language )

Sit tight.

Just his way of showing
he expects to be chief
pretty soon.

Jambo.

Africa's version
of the angry young man.

Sometimes they can be
very angry.

( Roaring )

Exciting?

( Elephants trumpeting )

( Elephants trumpeting )

Keep your shirt on.
The show is about to begin!

( Bellowing and trumpeting )

( Bellowing )

Aren't you getting
a little too close?

( Bellowing )

( Bellowing )

( Bellowing )

( Bellowing )

( Engine races )

( Roaring )

( Bellowing )

( Bellowing )

( Bellowing )

He's gaining on US, daddy.

Release the trailer,
if you can.

I'll try.

( Elephant bellowing )

Bullit:
Good show, sport!

You can say that again.

What happens if your
engine stalls?

I never worry
about things like that.

Worry can kill a man.

Well, I've got
work to do.

I'll be back
before dark, darling.

All right.
Bye, daddy.

Ohh. I'm starved.

Let's go in
and have some lunch.
Good.

I know. After lunch,
we'll show Mr. Hayward
monkey haven.

Shall we, mummy?

Well, if he'd
like to see it.

Would you, Rob?
I suppose so.

But listen, young lady.

No tricks, no snakes,

and no wild treks
through the bush.

No, nothing like that,
I promise.

All right, in that case,
I'd be glad to go.

Good. I'll go and tell
bogo to get the car
ready for after lunch.

What a wonderful zest
for life she has.

Yes, but it has to be
the right kind, Rob.

See that one?
He's my favorite.

I call him Moby!

That's appropriate.

Aren't you glad
you came?

Yes, it's a wonderful sight.

Thanks for suggesting it.

I'm so glad you're happy.

( Abrupt silence )

What is it, Tina?

I don't know.
Something's wrong.

( Silence continuing )

Listen.

( Low moan )

Do you hear him?

Sounds like a moan.

Is that the old chief?

Yes, it's old kalu.

His people must have
brought him here to die.

See the vultures
waiting for him?

They know too.

Why did they bring him
here to die?

If he died in the menyata,
then his spirit would stay.

They'd have to burn
the place and move on.

Even the baboons
leave their sick behind

if they can't keep up
with the troop.

Do you accept
such cruelty?

It's always done this way.

Well, it won't be
this time.

Bogo.

Lend me a hand.

Bogo no give hand.

They kill bogo
if he help.

Oh, come on, now.

Help me get him up.

Tell him, memsaab.

Tell him all the tribe
are angry

if a chief die
in compound.

It's true, Rob.

Nevertheless,
we're gonna take him
back with US.

Kihoro hate this tribe.

They old enemy.

Jolly good
watch enemy die.

Jolly good, huh?

Grab his feet.
We'll put him in the car.

Well, we've done
all we can, old man.

The rest is up to you.

( Muttering
in native language )

It's the lion!

The lion's calling him
again, mummy!

He wants to go!
Let him go!

Oh, stop this
nonsense, Tina.

Go and tell Anna
to get some warm
soup ready.

Who in the hell
authorized you
to do this?!

I don't need authorization
to try to save a life.

You've certainly fouled
things up here.

I tried to
warn him, daddy.
Tina!

Do as I say.

It's my job to protect
and respect

the traditions of
the tribes on this reserve.

It wouldn't be the first
time that do-gooders

started a tribal war.
You should have told him.

Told him what?

That we leave people
to die in the bush,

to be eaten by wild dogs
before they're quite dead.

That we bring up a child
to accept all this
as inevitable?

Well, the damage is done,
but I know what to do
about you.

I'll have a plane waiting
for you at the airstrip
in two hours.

I expect you can be
packed in that time.

I can be,
but I won't be.

Then I'll make it
very clear--

I'm ordering you
off this reserve,

and I have the authority
to do so.

Bullit, I don't think
you will.

There's something I was
going to discuss
with you later,

but this seems to be
a pretty good time.

Read it.

That's only a copy,
of course.

The original document
was recorded and filed

in Nairobi when Christina
and I got a divorce.

Take a good
look at it, sport.

What is it?

What does it say?

If I know anything
about that legal-
minded jackal,

it means trouble.

He can take Tina
whenever he wants.

He has a tight
legal document
to back him up.

You think she should go,
don't you?

You've thought
that a long time.

That's why
you sent for him.

But tomorrow.
He could take her tomorrow!

But legal documents
or not,

he won't take her
until she's willing.

That depends on you.

I knew he spelt trouble
the moment you told me
he was coming.

I knew he'd
break my life in two.

It won't be forever.

It'd be like her
going off to school,

and then he'd let her
come and visit US.

US? US?

There'll be no visits.

If I know you,
you'll follow her.

No.

If you help with Tina,

if you'll make it easy
for her to go...

I promise you, John,
I won't leave you.

No matter
how easy I make it,

a lot of happiness
will go from this house.

I'll have to think it out.

Would you mind if I told
Robert of our talk?

I... think
he ought to know.

Of course not.

Maralell calling
kirinyaga game reserve.

Do you read? Over.

Doesn't matter, really.
Hayward knows he holds
all the aces.

Maralell calling
kirinyaga game reserve.

Do you read? Over.

Maralell calling
kirinyaga game reserve.

Do you read? Over.

Kirinyaga,
answering maralell.

Hear you loud
and clear. Over.

Hello, bullit.
Fletcher Ryan calling.

There's some blokes
in the north corner
of your reserve

carrying bows and arrows.

Poaching, I think.
Over.

Thank you. I'll have
a look in the morning. Over.

Robert. It's me.

Can I talk with you
a moment?

Well, sure.

Bullit talked to me
about Tina,

about her going back
with you,

and I think he'll help.

Did he say he would?

Well, not exactly,
but at least we talked
about it.

And if she's to
accept the idea
and go willingly,

I'm sure he will help.

And who's going to help you,
to part with her?

I don't need any help.

I've been prepared
ever since I wrote you.

You're going to let
your child walk out
of your life,

just like that?

She can visit me.
You'd let her.

Visit you?
Halfway around the world?

No. She'll forget about you
the way she forgot about me.

Tina has to
leave this place.
We both know it.

What are you
trying to do to me?

I want you to understand
before it's too late

that she's going to
grow up into a woman,

and you're not going
to be there.

Oh, stop it.

How can you be so cruel?

I dare not think
of myself,

but only of her
and her future.

What else can I do?

You can come with me.

I can't, Robert.

Why not?

I promised bullit.

So that's bullit's price
to help with Tina.

Well, you're not
going to pay it.
I won't let you.

If he's going to use
Tina to hold you,

then I'll use her
to get you back

because she needs you,
and you need her.

And I need both of you.

I'm still in love
with you, Chris.

Good night, Robert.

Good night.

Memsaab!

Bwana hayward,
he witch doctor.

Old man better.
Bad luck!

You watch him carefully,
kihoro. He mustn't leave
here. You understand?

Old man stay here,

even if I have to kill him.

Have a drink?

Uh, no thank you, John.

How did your talk go?

Robert believes that
you're holding the aces.

What do you think?

I don't know.

I'm too weary to think.

No reason to be worried.

No card game
can go on very long

with two players
holding all the aces.

I pray not.

( Laughing )

Well, hello!

Mornings are best,
daddy.

The very best, baby.

I wouldn't miss them
for anything.

You wouldn't want
to leave here,
would you, Tina?

Daddy!

Bwana.

Jambo.
Jambo.

( Speaking native language )

Dead, daddy.
The chief is dead.

Yes, dear, I know.

( Speaking native language )

We've been invited
to the ceremony
for the new chief.

May we go?

( Speaking native language )

Now we're in for it.

Ouriounga's the new chief,

and the old one
isn't even dead yet.

Maybe we should have
told them old kalu
is still alive.

I'm not that brave,
baby.

If anyone's gonna do that,
it's our honored guest
Mr. Hayward.

We'd better get
back to the house.

Anyway, I'm dying to go.

So am I.

( All chanting )

( Chanting continues )

How long do these
ceremonies last?

All day.

All night too,
if it doesn't rain.

( All chanting )

Do we have
to stick it out?

I will.
I'm the official guest.

It would be an insult
if I cut out

before the party's over.

I want to stay
with you, daddy.

( All chanting )

They're telling
the story

of how old kalu
killed his lion.

This is the hunt
that leads up to the kill.

See the lion's mane
that ouriounga's wearing?

That's his father's,
old kalu's.

Ouriounga hasn't killed
a lion of his own yet.

Now they're
circling the lion,

closing in on him.

The lion has to charge
the circle to get free,

or be killed.

In the real thing,
warriors get mauled.

Some even get killed.

Hush, mummy.
Watch.

( All chanting )

( Chanting continues )

( Spits )

( Thud )

( All chanting )

You see?

Do you know who
those little girls are?

They're the brides
of warriors.

And Tina's beginning
to speak and feel like them.

( All chanting )

( Crying out )

Keep calm.

This is just his way
of asking for Tina
as his bride.

It's not meant
as an insult.

I'm sure it's meant
as an honor, but...

Why don't we just
thank him and leave?

I'll handle
this my own way,
if you don't mind.

( Crying out )

( Crying out )

( Speaking native language )

( Speaking native language )

( Spectators gasp )

Now the fat's
in the fire.

He knows who saved
his father's life,

and his father has
called him a false son.

Let's go.

( Thunder crashes )

Well,
better find kihoro.

Find out
what it's all about.

He's not there, daddy.

Tina, darling,
come here and stay with me.

But, mummy,
kihoro's my friend!

You must find him,
you must!

No sign of a struggle,
either.

You're better off
in the compound for
a while, baby.

( Ouriounga cries out )

( Distant thunder rumbles )

He's as dead
as he'll ever be.

I'm sorry, bullit.

Poor kihoro.

If you'll lend me a hand,
we'll take him back
to the compound.

Where is Tina?

Tina!

She can't be left alone.

Tina!

Tina!

( Distant thunder crashes )

( Grunts )

( Low growl )

King! They killed kihoro!

I saw it, king,
I saw it!

( Speaking native language )

Kill him!

( Growling )

( Thunder crashes )

( Speaking native language )

Kill him! Kill him!

Kill him, king!

Bullit!
Tina!

( Tina cries out )

Kill him!
Oh, my god!

Kill him!

Aah!

Christine!
Come back!

Christine:
Let me go!

Tina!
Let me go!

Robert: Tina!
Tina: Let me go!

Ohh!

Get out of my
line of fire!

Robert! Robert!

No!
No, king, get back!

( King growling )

Get out of the way!

No!
Daddy, no!

( Gunshot )

( Distant thunder rumbles )

He's dead.

King is dead.

So is this one.

You killed him.

You killed him!
You killed my king!

I begged you not to!
I begged you!

Stop it, Tina,
stop it.

Stop it.
It had to be done.

I know how much
you loved king,

but there was no choice.

Thanks, sport.

But I'm afraid it's
a little too much
to ask of her.

( Tina weeping )

Come with me.

That's a nasty arm.

Let's get back
and take care of it.

Can you manage?

I think so.

Where will we live
in america?

That will be for your
father to decide.

When you're not away
at school,

you'll probably stay
in the apartment in New York

or in the farm
in Connecticut.

Aren't you living with US?

I'm not going
with you, darling.

Tina: Why not?
Why aren't you?

Why isn't she coming?

Tell her why, Christine.

Didn't you ask her
to come?

Oh, Tina, stop it.

Ask her. Maybe she will
if you ask her.

Please ask her!

But you'll come
back here and visit
US on holidays.

Tina, darling.

No, I won't, I won't!
I'll never come back here!

I hate this place now!

I'm sorry, Chris.
I thought I'd found
a way out for all of US.

There's no way out.
Not for me.

I think I always knew that.

There's an old,
old saying that,

if you take what
you want out of life,

be ready to pay for it.

I took.

And I'm paying.

As bullit would say,

"right, sport?"

You've helped me
with Tina.

That's what I wanted.

And you have my gratitude.

And if it's any
consolation to you...

You have my love.

Bullit:
Kirinyaga calling Nairobi.

Kirinyaga calling Nairobi.
Do you read me? Over.

Man: Read you
loud and clear. Over.

Would you be
good enough to put
the commissioner on, please?

Commissioner:
Hello, bullit,
how are you?

How soon can you get
a new warden up here, sir?

I'm resigning. Over.

I'll have to look round
and try to find someone
to replace you.

You know, it's not
going to be easy. Over.

Thanks. I'd like
to ask a favor, sir.

Could you get in touch
with Kenya air service

and have a twin engine
up here tomorrow morning?

There'll be three passengers
for Nairobi. Over.

Roger. Well, I hope
you'll be one of them.

Perhaps I can persuade
you to...

'Fraid not.
I'm pointing my Jeep
in another direction.

No airfields where
I'm going, sir.

But I'll be looking in
on you one of these days.

Cheerio, sir.
Over and out.

Thank you, John.

Thank you very much.

Just being practical.

The child wants her mother,

the mother wants her husband,

the hunter wants to hunt.

Just putting the pieces
back in their proper place.

( Faint shrieking
and chittering )

Why don't you take a look?

They're coming with US?

Nicholas and simbaline?

They're going to live
with US in america?

Nicholas.

Simbaline.

Read what it says
on the crate.

"To miss Tina...

"Hayward.

"Hayward farm,
pound Ridge,

"Connecticut, u.S.A.

From... John bullit."

They no come back, bwana?

No, bogo.

They no come back.

Take good care
of the new warden, bogo.

You no come back too,
bwana?

No, bogo, I no come back.

Kwa heri.
Kwa heri.

Kwa heri!
