All language subtitles for Daktari s03e24 The Lion Killer

Thank you.

you finally got old Clarence to take a
bit of exercise, did you?

I wouldn't have believed it possible.

Don't you go too far, old girl.

If you get out of the reserve and into
the free area, some over -anxious

liable to take a pot shot at your lion
pal.

You smell a lion, Shocker?

Good boy.

Good boy.

Go, Shocker, go.

Thanks for watching.

You can put little Malvin back in the
recovery cage now.

Okay. Should be able to send him back to
reserve in a couple of days.

Come in.

Dr. Tracy?

Yes, I'm Dr. Tracy. What can I do for
you? Could I see you outside for a

Doctor?

Yes, certainly.

Come, Dr. Harry.

I'm afraid we've had a little accident.

Accident? Accident?

Well, I didn't know it was your lion, or
I certainly wouldn't have shot at him.

Clarence! Dr. Harry, let me explain.

He's not.

Oh, calm yourself, poor. He's only been
creased on the head. I fancy he's a

little more than a scratch.

Poor Clarence. Though I admit things
might have got a lot more sticky if

Judy hadn't alerted me in time.

You'll be okay, Marsh.

When are you people going to stop
killing animals?

Paula, Mr. Boone was just explaining to
me that Clarence had wandered off the

reservation.

I wouldn't have dreamed of taking after
him otherwise, miss. That's true. Mr.

Boone has a superb reputation as a
hunter.

It's lucky you didn't get him with your
first shot, Boone.

Well, I got a momentary flash of the
lion's chain.

That threw my aim off.

Otherwise, you would have killed him. I
don't often, miss.

I wasn't going to shoot again unless it
was necessary to save Shaka.

I'm really terribly sorry.

Well, Clarence was off the reservation.

I'm afraid it was my fault, Marsh. I
shouldn't have left him loose so close

the border. I imagine Paula won't trust
me with her precious pets again.

Shut it down.

That was a good boy.

Come on, Clarence. Lunchtime.

Now, that dog is absolutely fearless.

Come on.

Come on. Vicious, I'd call it. Clarence
hasn't done a thing to harm him.

He doesn't have to.

Just his mere existence is enough to set
this fellow off.

Rhodesian Ridgeback Lionhound, huh?

Certainly is a fine specimen.

Getting very rare, too.

This is Shaka.

Shaka? That's a Mumbezi word, isn't it?
Yes.

It means born to kill.

Born to kill?

Boy, that figures.

This species has been bred by the
Mumbezi.

I was lion hunters for over 500 years.

Mr.

Boone, I am sorry about my daughter's
manners, but she gets a little too

emotional at times.

I'm sorry she doesn't approve of me.

It's nothing personal, Boone.

Paula doesn't approve of hunters or
hunting guns or bullets.

That's a bit embarrassing, Henley.

I was on my way over here when this
awkward accident happened to ask you a

favor, Dr. Harry.

Oh?

Yes, uh...

The shocker's got a growth right here,
Dr. Terry.

I wanted you to take a look at it.

Oh, yeah, certainly.

Here, shocker. Let's have a look, huh?

Anything serious?

Not a lot to check it.

Um, here, let's stick it over here.

Come on, shocker. Come on.

Jack,

would you take shocker up to the lab
and... Run a biopsy on him. He's got a

little throat right underneath the chin.

All right.

Mr. Boone, I just want to say I'm sorry.

Dad, are you going to treat this animal?

Yes, Paul. This dog has just become my
patient.

Now, Mr. Boone, it'll take a little
while to get a slight tissue prepared,

and stained and so on. So if you'd care
to have some coffee in the meantime.

Yes, thank you. I'd like that.

Fine.

Paula, would you see to the coffee,
please?

Okay, come on, pooch. Let's see what's
wrong with you.

Nothing trivial.

That's our guy.

Year by year, more game animals are
leaving the open territory.

Just a flock inside your reserve.

Well, we have tried to make it as
attractive to them as possible.

Well, too darn attractive from my angle.

Good.

Hold on.

I don't care. I'm glad.

I can remember

the days when game was plentiful on the
open territory.

You changed all that.

You're breaking my rice bowl, Doctor.

Oh, you still seem to have plenty of
work, Mr. Boone.

A group was looking for a guide for a
camera safari only last week, and I had

tell them he was booked up for months
ahead.

Ah, shutterbugs, Hedley.

Frankly, I only have time for serious
hunters.

I can guarantee my clients a trophy.

Everyone wants to see Shaka work.

I understand the Mombazes used to use
the dogs to hunt in packs.

Is that right?

That's right.

They'd surround and tire the lion out so
the hunter could move in.

But Shaka can corner a lion all alone.

As I saw when he badgered poor old
Clarence.

He's absolutely unique.

That's why I get the prices I charge.

Everyone wants to work with Shaka.

Do you all know Stan Thomas?

No, I'm afraid I don't.

Texas oil.

Millions. President of the Big Game
Explorers Club.

He's flying out from the States next
week.

Especially to hunt with Shaka.

So you can understand why I'm so
concerned about the dog's health.

Aren't you?

Better take a look at them.

The

lignite,

huh?

Bad?

I think we can probably get to it in
time.

Of course, we'll have to excise the
growth.

I'll round up my growth, prepare for
surgery.

Right.

Yes, Paula.

I'm going to operate on this dog.

And you are going to assist me, young
lady, exactly as you would if you were

going to treat any other animal that
needs healing.

Is that clear?

That should do it.

You sure he'll be all right, Doctor?

Oh, yes. He has a strong constitution.

He should be fit as a fiddle in a week.
Fit as a lion, Ruff. What do you mean?

Will you put the dog in the recovery
cage after you clean up?

Yes, sir.

A whole week, you say?

Oh, I'd say at the outside.

If you want, you can check back a day or
two earlier.

Oh, fine. I'll do that.

Can't keep Mr. Thomas waiting.

He's paying for action. He wants to get
it.

Well, after all, we can't all be
doctors.

I suppose some, like Dr. Tari, were born
to save.

But others, like Chaka and myself, were
born to kill.

Mr. Boone, I don't think any one man or
animal was born to kill. They only

learned to kill.

As a matter of fact, we've had some
pretty remarkable personality changes

here.

Well, I don't think anyone or anything
could ever change shock. Boy, you can

that again.

Now, listen.

I don't want any more of this
unprofessional nonsense around here.

Maybe if one of you showed that dog some
love instead of hate, you might see a

change for the better.

I don't think Marsha's very happy with
us.

Well, I'm not very happy with him.

I think you made that absolutely clear.

Well, clean up the mantras.

Okay, killer.

Back to the recovery cage.

Well, look who's getting protective.

It's okay, Judy. We're not going to hurt
him.

We're just going to get him back into
shape so that he can turn some more

into trophy room decorations.

Please, Jack, I'd rather not think about
that.

Boone didn't seem like such a bad
fellow.

Oh, sure, wasn't he a real friend to his
mother?

control? Certainly is.

Our solitary patient is resting
comfortably in the royal suite.

Well, that's good.

I hope you keep it that way while I'm
gone.

Dad, take me with you.

Well, I've been making my spring rounds
of the villages for years now, and

you've never wanted to come before.

Why should you suddenly want to come
now? Because I want to help you.

I don't want to have to stay here with
that killer dog.

I feel the same way myself, Marsh. How
about taking me along with you? Me too.

You know, I'd always thought of you
three as scientists.

But scientists don't pass moral
judgments on their patients.

Now, their job is to heal the sick.

That dog is sick.

Maybe if one of you showed that dog some
love, you might see a change for the

better.

Our guest is back to his old sweet self
again.

Judy.

Judy is still doing missionary work
amongst the savages.

You silly chip. Dogs don't eat bananas.
They eat meat.

Preferably lion meat.

Judy, why are you trying to make friends
with that animal that nearly got

Clarence killed?

I feel the same way, but maybe we're
being too hard on the dog.

After all, he can't help the way he's
been bred for hundreds of years, can he?

Well,

I got to check on the nursery animal.
See you later.

Judy, believe me.

Don't waste your time on this one.

He's hopeless.

Going up to the cage area?

It just so happens that I am. I'm going
to tie up that broken fence until we

have a chance to fix it.

Listen, I think Fritz is up there. Would
you mind taking his food and saving me

a trip?

Not at all.

Thank you.

Here, baby.

Here's some dinner.

I don't know how lucky you are to be
eating it.

Don't worry.

I'm not going to let that terrible
animal get to you.

Sure did.

How about the lion killer?

I thought you were going to feed him.

No, I thought you were.

I guess that's a job neither one of us
relishes.

It's got to be done, though.

No sense asking Paul.

True. Well, I volunteer.

Thank you.

you didn't feed Count Dracula here.

Well, I didn't. Well, somebody did.
Look.

I'm looking.

Paula?

That doesn't seem... Aha!

So you're the good survivor.

Now she's reminding you not to forget to
feed him his vitamins.

You know, she's right. It is that time.

Okay, Judy, give me that.

All righty.

Oh, you fed him. I was afraid you might
not.

Well, it's not the dog's fault as to how
he's been bred.

Well, it was Judy who did it.

Judy you never give up do you?

No!

I don't believe my eyes.

Hey, Judy.

Give it up. It's a lost cause.

Mars Tracy calling Romero. Do you read?
Over.

Mars Tracy calling Romero. Do you read?
Over.

Mars Tracy calling Romero. Do you read?
Over.

Dad, how are you getting along?

Oh, fine.

Hope to be home, Dad, tomorrow.

Oh, good. I miss you. Well, I missed
you, too.

Tell me, how's Mr. Boone's dog coming
along?

Oh, just fine.

Worst luck.

Now, now, remember what I told you.

Yeah, I know, Dad.

Mike's checking him over now.

You wouldn't believe this, but you're
just trying to get that dog to make

friends with Clarence.

She was, huh?

Why not?

Wasn't it prophesied that the lion and
the lamb shall lie down together?

The only question is, which one is
which?

A lion is like a lamb, and that dog's
like a lion.

Out.

Look out, Judy. You'll end up hamburger.

Judy, you certainly take on the
strangest job.

How's he doing, Mike?

Oh, physically he's in good shape, but
he's not getting much exercise tied down

this way. We can't let him run loose.
He'll go after Clarence. Well, we'll

have to protect Clarence. We'll put him
in an enclosure.

Oh, fine thing. You put Clarence in a
cage and this mangy maverick gets the

of the place.

Want to come along?

Oh, I'd like to, Mike, but Dad will skin
me alive if I don't get those

inoculation reports ready.

See, Jack, tell him I could use some
help.

Okay.

Jack? Yeah? Paul, I want you to give her
a hand with the record.

Okay, I'll be through here in a minute.
Thanks, Mike.

it's a crime, you have to go to jail.
But that's life, huh?

Okay, May.

Yeah, May.

We have... Here we go.

We have 16 infectious.

Uh -huh.

And 10 non -infectious. Huh. 10. Check.

No, June.

Nine infectious.

Huh? And 11 non -infectious.

Oh, okay.

to release that dog.

Suppose those two were tangled.

Wouldn't that have been a fine mess of
fish?

How was that all done?

Miss Tracy. Howdy, Miss.

Howdy. Mr. McCullough.

Pleased to meet you. This is Mr. Thomas.

Yes, indeed.

I can hardly wait to get some real
action.

Say, you fellas would be interested in
this.

Had this specially made for me.

Bring down a line at 400 yards every
time.

It's a beauty.

Is the young lady all right?

She's suffering from one of her
compassion attacks.

Yes, she keeps getting these sympathy
pains.

Oh, sorry.

Is Chaka ready to go? Yes, indeed. I
have got to see that wonder dog in

Imagine a single dog bringing a lion to
bay.

Oh, boy, wait till the boys at the
Explorers Club hear about this.

Boone, you'll have more business than
you can handle.

Yes, he's ready.

I'll get him. Oh, that won't be
necessary.

Watch this, Thomas.

Regardless of where Shaka is, all I've
got to do is call him.

Come on, Shaka.

Hello, Shaka.

Oh, my goodness, you look as good as
new, fella.

Aren't you going to thank these nice
people for making you well?

So, this is the famous shotgun.

What a fine animal.

Well, shall we go, Boone? I'm just
itching to work with him.

I'm tremendously grateful to you both.

It was nothing, Mr. Boone. And please,
thank Dr.

Tracy for me, won't you? Glad to help
out.

Come on, Mr. Thomas.

Hope the young lady recovers from
whatever that was you said.

I don't think she will.

No, it's incurable.

I'm sorry to hear it.

You're doing a great job here.

I admire your dedication.

We thank you. Thank you.

It's just great, isn't it? We've given
that dog a new lease on life.

Which means death for some lion
tomorrow.

Well, you look at old sad eyes.

Over that dog?

Clarence, how could you?

Don't you realize he's dedicated to
wiping out your entire species?

Hello, Mr. Boone. Hello, Dr. Harry.

Mr. Stan Thomas, this is Dr. Marge
Tracy, the surgeon who operated on

Well, Mr. Boone's told me a lot about
you, doctor. I appreciate what you did

his lion hand.

Thank you, Mr. Thomas.

How's the patient doing?

We'll see for yourself.

Hello, Chaka.

How you doing, huh?

Let's have a look.

That's good. Good recovery.

I hope the kids didn't give you a hard
time.

Ah, no.

Not too bad.

I couldn't understand their coolness
until Mr. Boone explained later.

I hope you'll convey my apologies.

Well, Mr. Thomas, they have to learn
that not everybody shares their

no matter how strong they may be.

How soon are you taking Shock out on the
hunt?

In a few minutes, if I can hold the
stand back that long.

When I come back with my story of
hunting with a dog that can bring down a

I'll be the talk of Texas.

Especially when I bring pictures to back
it up.

All loaded and ready to go.

Just like McGunn.

I was wondering, Mr. Boone, if you'd
mind me tagging along.

You, Dr. Harry?

On a lion hunt?

Just to observe, I've never seen a
Ridgeback work before, and, well, I

interfere.

Of course, Dr. Harry, we'd be glad to
have you.

I thought you felt the same as the
others did about killing animals.

I do.

I believe in nature taking its course,
but after all, man is a part of nature.

First man with a spear and an arrow, and
now a man with a gun.

No, ignoring the fact won't make it go
away.

You don't know where we can find lions,
do you?

Mr. Boone says they're not too plentiful
around here, and I do want to bag a

trophy.

Well, Mr. Thomas, I said I wouldn't
interfere, but that doesn't mean I'm

to help.

Okay, Dr. I.

You got a deal.

Good. I'll check in with the compa.

This is Marsh Tracy calling Romero. Do
you read, over?

Yes, Marsh. This is Mike. I read you,
over.

Mike, just want to let you know that
I'll be home tomorrow.

How's everything going back there?

All quiet, Marsh.

No problems.

Well...

What's that?

Well, it's Clarence. He's been acting
strange lately.

Anything specific?

No, just sort of down in the dumps.

He's been that way since... Well, since
Mr. Boone took that dog away.

You know, I think Clarence was sorry to
see that dog leave.

Well, that's a little hard to believe.

Well, Judy was trying to create a
friendship between them. You don't

No, Mike, I don't.

Just give Clarence an extra dose of
vitamins out of the peppermint.

Okay, Marsh, out.

Out.

Why do that?

Clarence, you've got to forget about
that dog.

Your new friend is miles away.

At least now you can run free again,
huh?

Yeah.

Gorgeous animals.

Sure like one of those from my rumpus
room.

We came for lions, Stan.

Don't want to shoot and scare off every
lion in the territory.

No, you're right, Boone.

I still can't believe that dog won't
take off like a scared rabbit if a lion

shows up. Don't you worry about Chaka.

He doesn't know what fear means.

I can't thank you enough, Dr. Ty.

You can see that this dog's my bread and
butter.

He's a fine animal, no doubt about that.

matter, Mike?

Where's Clarence? He was here a minute
ago.

Judy, where'd he go?

Off plane, huh?

Well,

maybe we won't need those vitamins after
all.

Judy, would you like to take him his
food?

All right, here, take it in this sack.
Be sure he eats it all.

I'm sure you can trust her to take care
of her baby.

Clarence is the biggest baby she's got
right now.

Let me show you what I've done to that
broken fence.

doesn't he? Oh, I'll say. He knows he's
at work.

Nothing on earth is going to turn him
aside once he gets a lion scent.

Lion? Yeah. Shh, shh.

Shaka, shaka.

Now

you're

going to see 500 years of breeding at
work.

By the time we get there, Shock will hit
that line all wrapped up for us.

Like your crew cut out Shaka's heart
along with that growth.

I just can't believe this. Well, I can
believe what you've done to me.

You set out to wreck my livelihood and
you've done it.

In spades.

When he gets through talking about this,
I'll be the laughing stock of the whole

hunting world.

I might as well quit right now.

I've got to get a picture of this.

Got it.

What fantastic courage that dog has.

Hey, I wish I could get in the picture.

Why don't you, Mr. Thomas?

You kidding?

No, I'm not kidding.

Shocker there to keep the lion's
attention while you've got nothing to

about. Here, give me a camera.

Here, go ahead.

Mr. Thomas, why don't you just put your
foot on the lion's back?

Are you out of your cotton -picking
mind?

He's a live lion.

With Shaka there to guard you, you have
nothing to worry about.

You know, I'll bet every sporting
magazine in the States will want this

And I think you ought to take it, Mr.
Boone. I have a feeling you're going to

need the practice.

It's all set. Let's go right ahead.

Where's this one? I tell

you, Stan Thomas simply

couldn't get over it.

He just couldn't stop talking about it.

At Nagora Airport, he even phoned a half
a dozen of his Texas friends, and most

of them made contracts with me right on
the spot.

I'm actually booked up for the next six
months.

Well, you're welcome to use clearance
any time you want, Mr. Boone.

Oh, especially for that kind of hunting.

You know, I never dreamed of how many
people would like to pose with a wild

lion.

Of course, since you're using a camera
now instead of a gun, why, you can work

on the reserves. That way you'll never
run out of animals again.

Not only that, after you finish shooting
the animals, they'll still be alive,

and that I like.

Shall I tell you a secret, young lady?

I like it, too.

Thanks to all of you.

And now I've got to be getting along.

So soon?

Well, I don't want to be late for my
photography lesson in Nagora.

Come on, Chaka.

Say goodbye to your new friends, but
we'll be back to visit them again soon.

Goodbye, you ferocious king of the
jungle, you.

Hey, Boone, don't forget the most
fearless hunter of them all.

You know, five centuries of breeding
sort of

intimidated us all, except Judy over
here.

She attacked with the only weapon she
knew, love.

And by George, she won.

Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!
