All language subtitles for Daktari s03e18 Riddle of the Bush

I wonder what they're doing here.

No live animals in this area.

Oh, it is kind of strange.

But, you know, with all those tusks out
there, there's a very good possibility

that we have inadvertently stumbled
across the long -lost and legendary

elephant's graveyard, destined to be
forever hidden from the eyes of mortal

Until now.

Now, come on, Jack. Forget the nonsense.

Well, the Nagoro Commission has asked us
to develop this area and attract some

tourists. And we promised you, so let's
do it.

Yeah, tourists, sure.

No, don't get me wrong. I'm all for this
tourist bit.

They come and they bring money.

The more money they bring, the more
funds we have available for animal

conservation. But as far as making this
area into a tourist attraction, I don't

know.

I'm uneasy about it myself.

I guess it's because I'm unfamiliar with
the region.

And the Goro doesn't know much about
this sector either. Even the boundaries

uncertain. Well, that's why we're here.

Okay, look, we'll start surveying down
there by the river bottom.

So, you take the coal and the tape.

Power, when you're ready, I'll come join
you. Okay, come on, Judy, let's go.

Come on.

Hey, uh, Paula, be careful, huh?

But why?

Well, remember the legend about the
elephant graveyard.

There are animal demons who guard the
dead.

We're not afraid, are we, Judy?

All right, now, Judy, give me your
binoculars.

Come on.

Now, I want you to carry this for a
while.

The whole legend of Jack.

Hello there.

I'm sorry. I'm afraid I startled you.
That's all right. I just wasn't

anyone here.

Well, I wasn't either.

But it is a pleasure.

My name is DeLong. Oh, Paula Tracy from
Omero.

I'm afraid I frightened you.

Well, yes, you did startle me. You see,
I was remembering something Jack had

just said when you appeared.

Jack? Uh, Jack, we work together. He's
down the creek a ways.

We're surveying the boundaries of this
reserve, and that's Judy... Judy?

Well, anyway, Judy's a chimpanzee and a
very mischievous one, I'm afraid.

Well, if you'll excuse me, I'd better go
looking for her.

Uh, Mr... Doctor.

Dr. DeLong. Yes, Dr. DeLong.

You see, I scolded her, and sometimes
when I scold her, she'll run off and

for a while, so I'd better go looking
after her.

I understand.

In fact, I'll help you look for her.

Oh, well, thank you. Judy?

Judy?

Judy, do you hear me?

Come on out.

Judy?

I don't suppose anything's happened to
her, do you? Oh, I hardly think so.

What, uh... What was it your friend Jack
said?

Oh, that.

He was just joking. It had something to
do with an elephant's graveyard.

Oh, yes?

Well, it's really a silly story.

Uh, you see, the reason that the
intruders in the elephant's graveyard

return was because of the demons that
guarded it. I'm sure he was just making

up. Oh, no, no, he didn't make it up, my
dear. There really is such a legend.

Really? Oh, yes.

But someday a scientist will turn
fantasy into fact.

He'll become the first man, the first
man to prove the existence of an

graveyard.

That'll be one of the great discoveries
of the scientific world.

Shh. You hear that?

Judy?

Are you all right, my dear?

Look, it's a baby elephant.

How in the world did it get out here?

I wonder where its mother is.

We can't leave it in the mud hole. We'll
have to get it out.

I better radio Jack and have him bring
the truck over.

Yes, you do that.

I'll look for its mother or the rest of
the herd.

Hurry, my dear. I think we're on the
track of something extraordinary.

Jack, this is Paula. Come in, please.

Jack, this is Paula. Come in, please.

Hello there.

Hi. Have you seen any elephant tracks
around here?

Elephant?

No.

Ah, there she is. Come on, Judy.

What in the world's going on here? Who
was that?

She found Judy.

No, she found me. She came and got me. I
guess she thought you were lost. Look,

who is that old codger? He scared the
devil out of me, popping out of the bush

like that.

And what is that?

Well, that's a mud -soaked baby
elephant. And the old man's Dr. DeLong.

You have to get that elephant out of
there.

I do.

You don't expect me to do it, do you?

Marsh, don't you think Jack and Paula
should have checked in by now?

Oh, no, not necessarily.

There aren't any animals in that area.

I imagine they're settled down by a
nice, cool, quiet stream having a picnic

lunch right now.

That was a barrel of fun, wasn't it?

Of course, you need a lot of attention
and a name.

How about Sandy?

I think Muddy would be more appropriate,
but Sandy it is.

Here, Judy, your turn.

What beats me is what she's doing out
here in the first place.

From everything I've heard, there hasn't
been a herd of elephant in this area

for, oh, maybe 50 years.

There hasn't been a herd in 50 years?

Well, as far as we know, and the Reserve
Commission keeps pretty complete

records on animal migrations.

50 years.

She's sick, isn't she?

Yeah, she is.

But what I think it is, we'd better get
her back to Romero pretty quickly.

Well, can I help?

Oh, you have a car?

Yes. Okay, if you and Paul will pick up
the survey equipment, I can get started

back with her right away.

We can do that. Sure.

I'll call Marsh on the radio and let him
know what's coming.

Come on, Judy.

Come

on,

Judy. Sit down and relax.

We'll get her back to Dr.

Tarian plenty of time.

Here we are.

You know, it was kind of you to ask me
to spend a few days at Romero.

Believe me, we're glad to have you. Not
often we get visitors, and especially an

archaeologist.

But isn't this an unusual place to be
exploring? Surely there aren't any signs

of early civilization here.

Well, civilizations, no.

Stone Age man, very definitely.

Actually, I'm...

Searching for something rather
different.

Serendipity.

Serendipity?

See, you search for one thing and you
stumble on another.

My father would be very interested in
your theories.

I in his.

Here, try this.

Oh, thank you.

You know, it's a remarkable opportunity
he has here to study the animal world as

it really is.

It's a... small, uncorrupted universe of
his very own.

Africa.

It's a living laboratory, that's what it
is.

Here.

Those vultures.

I wonder if it was that baby elephant
that brought them here.

Well, that's a possibility.

Well, shall we get going?

Well, if you know the way, let's go.

All right.

As they found this little elephant in a
totally isolated area, there's no danger

of the infection spreading or that sort
of thing, is there?

Oh.

What's the matter, Marsh?

Is something bothering you?

Oh, uh, no, no.

You know, Paula said she, um, met this
chap out in the bush that she's bringing

back, this DeLong.

Apparently he appeared out of nowhere.

You know anything about him?

We haven't had any reports of new people
in the area, but, um, that's nothing

unusual, of course.

What is it, Marsh?

Do you know this man?

Oh, I was just curious.

When I was an undergraduate, I studied
under a professor, DeLong.

He was quite a teacher.

He used to tell us tales of Africa that
kept me sitting on the edge of my seat.

Matter of fact, I would say he was one
of the main reasons that I got

in Africa.

Well, then, he's to be congratulated for
having inspired such a student as you.

Well, so much range in history.

Oh, you want another one?

No, thanks. That was fine.

Certainly, I appreciate you picking a
bad vaccine for me.

What Jack said about the elephant's
symptoms, it looks as if we're going to

it.

I'll send to the government health
station, and we should have it late

You can send someone to pick it up from
my office.

All right.

You know, I can't understand what a sick
elephant and a baby like that was doing

in that section of the reserve.

Beats me.

Well, I'm so sorry to have missed Jack
and Paula, and I would have liked a

chance to meet your old Mr.

Chips.

That'd be something.

Well, thanks again, Ellie, for picking
up that vaccine for me. You're always

welcome, anytime.

I do hope the condition of that little
elephant is not too serious.

Goodbye now, Marsh.

I'll take it easy.

all right, Jack.

It's enterotoxemia, all right.

Could be Salem, an animal so young.

Fortunately, I asked Hedley to pick up
some vaccine at the government station.

He'll be holding it for us.

Mike, I'm afraid you're going to have to
make a trip to Hedley's.

When will it be available?

Sometime before this evening, I imagine.

And we're going to have to keep her
cool, too.

That's probably why she went into the
mud, huh?

Yes, your instincts are right in that
direction.

Incidentally, Paula can take over as
soon as she gets back.

How effective do you think the vaccine
will be?

Very effective. We can give it to her
before the crisis sets in.

When should that be?

Sometime in the next 48 hours.

And this is the critical period, huh?

Yeah, very critical, I'm afraid.

Poor little girl.

Boss, how do you explain her being in
the Wagunda region?

I don't know, Mike.

There aren't any herds there, so I can't
imagine why she could possibly be

there.

Well, sorry I couldn't keep up with you.

Good thing I had such an expert guide.

Oh, Dad, this is Dr. DeLong.

Well, Professor DeLong, this is
certainly a pleasant surprise after all

years. Of all places, Africa, too.

So you remember me, eh? Oh, I certainly
do. How could I forget you or your

lectures? Oh, you've met Jack, but I'd
like to have you meet my other

Mike McCooler. How do you do?

How do you do, sir? At that house,
Sandy.

Who? The baby elephant.

Oh.

Well, I'm afraid she's a pretty sick
elephant, Paula.

Now, fellas, do you want to get Dr.
DeLong's bags and equipment out of the

truck? Oh, yeah, sure.

Dr. Tracy.

Please, I wish you'd make it March.

Sounds kind of strange to hear you call
me doctor. After all, you're still a

professor to me.

Well, I'm... I'm afraid the shoe is on
the other foot now.

I've read about your many important
contributions.

I'm... I'm extremely proud of your
achievements.

That's very kind of you to say so.

Have you published anything recently?

Well, no, I'm afraid not. I've...

Just kept on being an old school
teacher.

But one of these days, who knows?

Marsh, do you have any theories to
account for this animal's being so far

from any known herd?

Well, he was obviously lost, but that
leaves an awful lot still unexplained.

Perhaps if instead of bringing her back
here to the compound, we merely

continued to observe her, she herself
might have supplied that answer to me.

Perplexing riddle of the bush.

She would have died.

Eventually, but then we should have had
the answer.

Perhaps that's more important.

She was sick. She needed care. That's
all that matters.

Paula, Dr. DeLong was merely making a
scientific observation.

And a very valid one, I might add.

I'm sorry, Dr. DeLong.

Dad, I'll be with Sandy.

It is true, is it not, Marsh?

that no one has ever reported observing
an elephant dying of natural causes.

Except in captivity, of course.

I don't recall hearing of any, no.

Why do we so rarely find the bones of
elephants?

Well, of course, they're scavengers,
they're hyenas, vultures, and other

like insects, ants, so on.

Well, how would you like to get cleaned
up and have a nice cool drink?

That would be most welcome.

Well, you know, with all the great herds
roaming the plains of Africa, isn't it

remarkable that after death so little of
their remains are to be found?

Well, I suppose so.

That elephant graveyard theory, Marsh.

Do you suppose anyone will ever pin it
down?

Well, if they do, they'll certainly
write books about them.

alone. That's for Sandy.

Needs a lot more than you do.

Come on.

Jody, stop that.

Now that's Sandy's medicine.

Why don't you go play with clarets or
something?

You heard me, Judy.

And leave things alone.

Come around, Sandy.

Come on. Come around.

Here we go.

Here we go.

You like that, huh?

Judy, get lost.

You heard me.

There you go, Aaron.

Go back home to your mama.

What's with Judy and the long face?

She's acting like a little witch today,
and I had to get rid of her. So that's

it, huh?

Well, tell me, what do you think of the
good Dr. DeLong?

Well, I haven't given him much thought.

You know, I think Marsh still looks up
to him as the old prop.

I guess sometimes hero worship is
something you don't outgrow, huh?

Dad's certainly taken his side.

Man prickly came right out and said that
we should have left Sandy there to die.

Well, I'm sure he didn't mean it exactly
that way.

He's supposed to be out there looking
for fossils of early man, and there

any.

I'd like to know what he is looking for.

I thought he told you that.

Serendipity, a chance find to give him
eternal fame.

Yeah.

Well, look, I don't think you should
worry about it. Your father likes him,

that should be good enough for us.

By my father's faith, I just don't trust
the good Dr.

DeLong.

Dr. Tracy, that daughter of yours is
truly a devoted nurse.

I'll tell you what.

Why don't I take her food down to her?

Oh, that's very nice of you.

Oh, as long as you're going down,
doctor, would you mind taking along

for the nurse's aide, Judy?

That's a good idea.

Look at me.

Thanks.

Miss Tracy?

Oh.

How's your patient?

Well, I don't know.

Very feverish and won't take any
liquids.

I wish I could get you to take some
food.

No, thank you. You sure?

No, thank you.

In the beginning, she was doing great.

Now she's so restless, it's not a good
sign.

Perhaps she wants her freedom.

After all, it's a new experience for
her, being fenced in this way.

She's probably frightened.

I think the fever is what's made her so
restless.

It's as if she senses some approaching
crisis.

Crisis?

When do you expect the vaccine?

When Mike gets here tomorrow morning.

And that will ensure the animal's
recovery, hmm?

Well, I hope so.

We do know one thing. If we don't get
that vaccine, there could only be one

outcome.

And that would disturb you greatly if it
happened?

Well, you wouldn't want her to die,
would you?

Well, no, of course not.

But if nature so orders it...

You see, in a sense, for me, death and
knowledge are often the same.

My work deals not with living events,
but what has been.

That seems very callous.

Why don't you take sedimentary layers of
rock which hold clues to the remains of

early man?

They deal with death, yet they
illuminate our minds.

Is a museum...

because it houses relics of the past?

Are its contributions to knowledge
inferior to those of a zoo?

Judy, I told you to stop.

Now, Sandy needs my attention and care
far more than you do. Now, go on, stop.

I'd better take this back to the house.

See you later, Sandy.

I really am an absent -minded professor.

I left my pipe up there.

Will you excuse me?

Miss Tracy?

Your chimpanzee's trying to let Sandy
free.

Judy, get out of here! Go on, get!

Boy, she's become a pest ever since we
brought Sandy home.

I can't imagine what's gotten into her.

What is going on here? Well, it's Judy.
She opened the gate.

She did? Why?

Well, maybe she wanted to let Sandy
escape.

Oh, she wouldn't deliberately do a thing
like that.

Well, let's face it, Paula. It's
certainly a possibility.

She's obviously jealous and feels
neglected. I'd keep an eye on her if I

you. I will, Dad.

Well, now, where's that pipe of mine?

Oh, it's right over here. Oh, yeah.

Say, Marsh, I certainly admire your
daughter's zeal.

I'm sure she's going to outwit Judy.

I guess it's about time for me to take
my leave.

Well, right now, I'd sort of hope that
you'd plan to spend a few days with us,

Professor. I did, I did indeed, but I do
have a long way to go, and, well, I

thought I'd get an early start while
we've still got some daylight.

You understand.

Well, yes, yes, certainly.

I'm just sorry that we haven't had more
time to chat.

Paula hasn't said anything to offend
you, has she?

Well, we'll get your things.

Jack?

Yeah, Marsh?

Did you bring the professor's bag? He's
leaving.

Right.

You know, Professor, there's something
I've been meaning to ask you.

Yes. Well, you once said that...
Someday, Darwin would be proven right in

belief that man originated in Africa.
One day he hoped to supply that proof.

I was just curious.

Have you succeeded in doing that?

Darwin.

Well, Darwin was right, of course.

His enchantress has been discovered in
East Africa.

Older than Peking man by some hundred
thousand years.

Was that in one of my lectures?

Yes, it was also in your final exam.

Oh, I trust you gave the right answer.

Well, I guess I did. You gave me an A,
which proves how right I was.

The entire faculty had high expectations
of you, Marshal, and you've not let

them down.

Oh, as for myself, no.

No others proved Darwin right, not me.

I guess I've accomplished very little
over the years.

But I'm on the track of something, my
boy.

I'm really on the track of something.

We'll see.

Maybe one of these days you'll be proud
of your old teacher.

Well, thank you. Thank you. Just throw
that right in the back. Okay.

Well, goodbye, my dear.

Goodbye, Professor.

Goodbye, Marsh.

Goodbye, Doctor. Perhaps we'll meet
again.

I certainly hope so.

Good luck. Thank you. Thank you.

Well, she's finally settled down for the
night.

That's the best thing for her.

You think I'd better stay up with her?

No, I don't think it's necessary.

Besides, you can use some sleep
yourself. Come on.

What is it, Judy?

What's the matter?

Something's wrong, Dad.

Oh, no, Sandy's gone. I knew I should
have stayed with her.

Oh, how'd the gate get open? Didn't you
fasten it? Of course I did. I made

certain it was closed last night.

Oh, fancy meeting you folks here.

What's doing?

Sandy's gone.

What happened?

Well... Dad, Judy wasn't the one, I'm
sure.

After all, she was the one that came and
got us. Yeah, we'll worry about that

later. Jack, let's start combing the
immediate area. Right.

Paula, wait here for Mike so you can
bring the vaccine to us as soon as we

for it.

Oh, Dad, do you think she could have
gone back to the area where we found

No, I don't think she could have
traveled that far.

Jack, bring Clarence with you.

Yeah.

Poor Sandy.

She's probably out there all alone and
maybe dying.

All right, little one.

Instinct took you this far.

Now I'm going to let you finish your
journey.

You die as you were meant to die.

You can't escape your destiny.

That a girl.

Go on, girl.

That's right.

You seek the resting place of your
ancestors.

Let your bones lie amongst them.

Understood.

Dad, Jack just called in. He's about
four miles from the Yulu River crossing.

Where are you?

I'm just across the Lumombe Plains.

Can you repeat that?

I am just across the Lumombe Plains.

Dad, you're barely coming through.

Nuts. I must be out of range.

Paula, I will contact Jack from now on.

Jack, do you read? Over.

Yeah, Marsh, I read you loud and clear.
Go ahead.

Anything doing?

No, nothing at all.

Can't understand it either. We should
have picked up some tracks by this time.

How about you?

No, no luck here either, and it doesn't
look promising.

Okay, let's spread out a little further,
huh?

Okay, Marsh.

Out.

All right, Clarence, I'm going to depend
on you.

Your nose may be better than my eyes.

Judy, stop it.

Dad was right. You probably opened that
gate.

Judy, don't you realize that poor
Sandy's out there in the bush alone and

just because you wanted her to go?

I'm going to have to keep you out of
mischief until Dad gets back here.

Mike, am I glad to see you. Sandy's
gone.

Gone? Well, the gate was open and she
wandered off. Dad and Jack are out

for her now.

That is bad.

There's not much time left, is there?

No, that's the terrible part.

Where are Marsh and Jack?

Well, Jack's at Yulu River Crossing,
about four miles out. Dad's near Wambi

Plains. Well,

I guess I'd better go help them. Oh,
here's the vaccine. Be sure and keep it

refrigerated until we need it. I'll see
you later.

Okay, good luck.

I hope this isn't another one of your
wild chimp chases, Judy.

Well,

this is Professor DeLonge.

What is he doing here?

I guess he must have lost it.

She's never been in the corral before.

Unless it was during the night.

Tire markings, Judy.

They looked as if they were made last
night.

No, I bet Professor DeLong opened the
gate and took Sandy.

I've got to do something about this.

Romero calling Doctore. Come in, please.

Well, Meru calling Doctore. Please come
in.

Jack, Mike, anyone, come in, please.

This is Paula Tracy calling Doctore.
Come in.

It's no use, Judy.

Dad and Jack are out of range, and Mike
doesn't even have a walkie -talkie.

They're never going to find Sandy.
They're looking for elephant tracks at a

mark.

It's up to us, Judy. Come on. Let's go.

Where to start looking?

Maybe we should try the Wugundu area.

I hope I'm right.

Just won't be another chance for Sandy.

Well, it has to be there, Judy.

Nothing to do with that place.

I'm sure he took Sandy back. I don't
know why unless to release her.

Doesn't make any sense.

Sandy, get up, girl.

Come on. You've got a lot of life in you
yet.

Sandy, you've got a long way to go. You
can't die here.

This isn't the place I'm searching for.

Come on.

There's my baby. You keep moving.

That's it. Follow your instincts.

There it is.

No tracks.

Maybe she wasn't here after all.

Dr. DeLong?

Dr. DeLong?

Just can't watch you suffer anymore.

Sorry, little one.

Well,

I know he's around here. Why doesn't he
answer?

Here I am, my dear.

What are you doing here?

I saw your truck.

Sandy's gone.

Oh.

I see. You were looking for her.

Yes. Why, here.

This is where we originally found her.

And you thought she might have returned.

I haven't found any tracks.

I don't suppose you've seen her.

She won't last much longer. I brought
some vaccine, but I have to find her

away. Well, I don't understand why
you're asking me all this.

Paula, Dr. DeLong, what's going on? Are
you on Sandy?

Not yet, but what are you doing here?

Well, I thought Sandy might double back
to the compound, so I went back to check

and found that you had gone and taken
all the vaccine with you. So I just

followed your tracks out here.

What's this all about, anyway?

Dad, Dr.

DeLong took Sandy out of the corral last
night.

I filmed this in the enclosure.

Hold on.

You mean you came all the way out here
with the entire supply of vaccine

of some crazy suspicion about Dr.
DeLong?

Well, it's true. Just ask him. Well, let
me ask you something, young lady.

Tell me.

Do you by any chance see any elephant
tracks around here?

No, I don't.

Then tell me something else.

Just why would a respected scientist
like Dr. DeLong want to endanger a baby

elephant's life?

I'm sorry, Dr.

DeLong. I was just a little bit jealous
of your influence over Dad.

Nevertheless, you cared for a helpless
animal.

But there happens to be one other
problem.

Suppose Jack and Mike find the animal
and need that vaccine.

No, Marsh.

Marsh, Paula's innocent. I'm the guilty
one.

Talk about your jealousy.

My jealousy was blind and callous beyond
words.

What? Yes, I was jealous of my
colleagues, former students like you,

for having achieved recognition.

Oh, what I...

What I did, I told myself, was in the
name of science.

Well... Marsh, I brought that sick
elephant up here because she

was dying.

What on earth for?

Well, I had an idea that Sandy could
lead me to an elephant's graveyard.

Her life seemed far less important than
the value of such a discovery.

An elephant's graveyard?

Doctor, those few tusks you see lying
around here are years old. They're

worthless.

Decomposed, pitted by ants.

There's no such thing as an elephant's
graveyard.

Not in this country or in any country,
for that matter.

Where's Sandy?

It's too late, my dear.

I just don't understand.

What did you expect to achieve even if
you had found the so -called elephant's

graveyard? Marsh would have taught us a
great deal about the theory of instinct.

Give us new insights into an animal's
inner knowledge of its impending doom.

Raise tremendous questions about the
very nature of life and death.

What am I talking about?

I'm deceiving myself, Marsh.

I was ambitious, vain.

My motives were base.

I, uh... I was going to shoot Sandy and
put her out of her misery.

Marsh, I can't tell you how ashamed I
am.

Paula, get the vaccine in my cave.

Paula, hurry up.

She was dying, Marsh. I saw her.

There wasn't a chance for her.

She's too weak and exhausted from her
illness.

You're in no mental condition to make a
proper diagnosis.

What do you think, Dad?

I don't know yet, Paula.

I don't know.

That's amazing.

I would never have believed she could
have made such progress in so short a

time. Well, fortunately, she's young and
was able to snap back in a hurry.

We were lucky.

No, no, it wasn't luck, Marsh.

Not that.

No, you were determined to save her
life.

All of you.

And that's what you did.

But, you know, I do consider myself
lucky.

You once spoke to me about how grateful
you were for...

All the things you've learned from me.
Well, that debt's been repaid many times

over. Because I'm the one who's grateful
to you.

For all the things you've taught me here
at Womero.

Now, if there's any pride left in me,
it's in knowing that, as a teacher, my

life was not wasted.

But out of my classroom came fine men.

Like you.

Don't forget.

Without good teachers, you wouldn't have
scientists.

Well, I see you've informed the
authorities.

Yes, I had to.

But, Dad, now that Sandy's all right,
couldn't you have just forgotten the

incident? No, I've broken the law, my
dear. Your father was right in sending

the police.

Paula, is this DeLong?

Yes.

That's the little elephant I was telling
you about.

Hedley, do you have any idea what she
was doing out there in that area where

elephants have roamed for so many years?

Yes.

I think I can solve that little mystery.

That young animal is a pet of the
Lagunda tribe.

She must have strolled away and got
herself lost.

The tribes will be very glad to see her
back.

Thanks to you, Dr. DeLong.

Well, here now, aren't you going to
arrest me?

Daktari told me about your cat and mouse
game.

But since there was no harm done, under
the circumstances, there'd be no sense

in prosecuting you. What do you think,
Marsh?

Well, even though he is a professor, I
think Dr. Long has learned a valuable

lesson from all this.

Well, it's a lesson I'll... I'll take
away with me from Africa.

Long remember.

Doctor, don't tell me you intend to
leave this lovely land.

Well, I really...

I have no reason to stay, as much as I'd
like to.

I suppose I'll just return to the
classroom and hope to turn out a few

marsh traces before they turn me back to
pasture.

I think there is a reason for your
staying.

That unexplored area where you first met
Paula and Jack needs a complete

surveying job.

And after that...

They need a qualified scientist to
supervise the paleontological

would take about a year.

There must be hundreds of mysteries
locked up in the earth.

The tourist organization has authorized
me to engage you to head their new

project in that area. Does that interest
you?

Well, sir, I certainly would.

Very much indeed.

There's something I've got to take care
of first.

Can you forgive me for putting the blame
on you?

That looks like I'm forgiven.
