[Music]

la

those of us who have spent most of our

lives in India have watched Men from all

over the world come here to hunt the

tiger they come for many reasons some

searching for

Tiger others searching for something

within

themselves one such Hunter was this

American he came here with his

unhappiness hoping that in the jungle he

would find a solution

the Dr Sab has made is killed

[Music]

I hit a tiger but get

away I got one of his

claws here keep it for luck

[Music]

I'll have to call it a day it'll be dark

in a few minutes

Sab a wounded tiger what start back but

the tiger now that he's wounded think of

what might happen I know what'll happen

to us if we're caught out here after

dark can't be responsible for every

tiger in

India come on let's get started

[Music]

one

[Music]

[Music]

don't bother packing those just tie them

up in a bundle they're all yours thank

you Dr s

drink doctor thank you no I have to get

back to my

patience it's been nice having you here

Dr colins it's been a pleasure I

appreciate your hospitality it's not

very often I have the opportunity to

meet a physician from New York are you

going directly

home

no I think I'll try the hunting in

Sumatra after that I don't

know but I'm not going to back home see

big game hunting in Manhattan is pretty

limited what about your practice I'm

giving it back to the natives of Park

Avenue I've retired from the medical

profession I'm sorry to hear that there

no great

[Music]

laws I never was a particularly good

doctor just a successful

one not think there's anything wrong in

being

successful or making a lot of money out

of medicine the way I

did matter of fact perfectly Frank with

you is very

satisfactory to be called one of the top

men of your

field there other elements other

Factor doctor I believe you'll have

malaria

yeah I felt it coming on but I

thought well you're the

doctor as I

say I'm no longer practicing

medicine get some

help I missed a tiger today

easy target

too I guess I was over

anxious but some little

mosquito without even a

[Music]

rifle just as men struggle to exist day

by day so does an animal

[Music]

a wounded tiger unable to outrace the

Jungle alarm cannot capture its natural

prey

[Music]

his immense hunger does not permit him

to rest and

[Music]

recover his once Sleek coat loses its

lust

[Music]

his desperation

grows and soon the Beast begins to seek

food that is less able to elude him

[Music]

sh

[Music]

[Music]

there are some hurts in a man that

cannot be seen he will hide his wounds

from others as well as from

himself it is possible for him to run

away from his past it is possible for

him to say I will forget that my wife

left me and took my

child it is even possible for a man

unlike other animals to destroy

himself one who comes from other places

cannot grasp the way men live in these

hard

[Music]

Hills yet they will not yield a foot of

their

land for anything less than disaster

[Music]

a tiger

[Music]

tiger I don't care what the chart says

I've been in bed too long for me that's

bad medicine remember I'm the doctor

here yes doctor don't be surprised if I

sneak out in the middle of the night I

would not recommend it for the first

time in years there's a man eater

terrorizing the vicinity he's already

killed two in the foothill District 3

days later he wiped out a family on the

ridge night before last he killed a farm

woman just three miles from here oh I

don't think he'd care for me

I'd probably give him indigestion Dr

Sab you have very little interest in my

people why I have no more no less

interest than them not in any

people no offense Dr sck by the way I

read my chart you did a good job pulling

me through thank you you think it was

worth it

you should know that a doctor has no

more no less interest in one patient

than in

another bye

doctor thanks for everything

we who have observed the tiger know that

eating human flesh improves the sheen of

a tiger's

coat that these animals never again

return to their natural

food we also know that once a tiger has

been attacked by a

man that man forever Remains the beast's

mortal enemy

people in India will tell you there is a

great difference in the men who hunt

tiger those who have a strong will to

live are the best

hunters they value life and this gives

them a strong sense of impending Danger

glad I wasn't depending on this place

with fresh

water Cola I don't think it was that but

the people but looks of that grain I'd

say they went on a better landine in The

Kuman Hills all the land is the same

stop worrying I'm just as anxious to get

out of here as you are

[Music]

[Music]

oh

oh

[Music]

[Music]

get my medicat

[Music]

exhausted hungry most likely get some

milk

[Music]

quickly there's no fever no bones

broken s maybe he's from that farm may

have got lost when the people went away

the

tiger no no no there's no tiger here

you're safe we'll push on until dark

then make

[Music]

camp and then what

happened after the tiger had killed

Minnie then killed my

father my mother brought me there where

she thought someone might ass and take

us with him then when we had no more

food she went back to get some and she

told me to stay hidden until someone

came along and go with him if she didn't

come back now if you're going to cry you

won't be able to tell us your

name

p Peno that's a nice

name champo Village isn't very far from

here have you got any people there no

one anywhere

bit out of our way but we'll have to

take him there we starting the

morning life in these Villages is as

changeless as the Himalayas themselves

on the surface life seems to be peaceful

with time for laughter come back come

back you've got to be B come back but

underneath there is still a struggle for

survival always present never

[Music]

forgotten did you go to the spring again

for water well the water at the spring

is so much colder

village will be out on the gaunt

Terraces planting the new

grain from these tiny patches of Earth

thank you Sam thank you get some sleep

[Music]

a less complex man than John Collins

would have reduced his problem to a

simple

decision it was not that he questioned

any longer that it was his

tiger he knew that he was responsible

for it and that it had taken many lives

and might yet take

more in the eyes of the community he was

guilty in his wife's eyes he had been

guilty too she had accused him of not

caring but what was there to care

about all his life he had seen men

creating war and

destruction he could not believe there

was anything about them worth saving

[Music]

I'm not the only one that ever wounded a

tiger are you going to let him get away

aren't you going to follow him I came

back here to help your wife not to go

hunting I'm not going to spend the rest

of my life stalking

Tigers we will try to catch the Tiger in

our own way gather the men have them

build dead Falls yes

[Music]

father when I go I'll leave the

necessary medicine for your

daughter-in-law the boy panoa will be

the best medicine for her she'll need a

child of love now she can never have one

of her

own that is grave news indeed Dr sa I'm

sorry I did the best I could I'm sure

you did

have you told her no it's better to wait

until she's stronger she will have to

know and so miss

Nine she was a good wife and a good

daughter was you talk as if she were

dead in our way of life she cannot

fulfill her Duty Nan will have to marry

again but why we have no

choice not I nor Narine nor

L nine must have a son and I a

grandson Narine will read the prayers

when I die and there must be a son for

him to read the prayers after his

death that is what we believe in Dr ZB

but what about lii she will be thinking

only of what is right for Narine simple

as that her feelings her love her life

all of that doesn't count we cannot

afford the luxury of being self

selfish you think I'm selfish because I

won't put myself out to kill a tiger

blame yourself too much Dr Saab what was

written on your

forehead I will tell l
