- 0:00 *phone rings*
- 0:25 *Humming*
- 1:33 Amen.
- 1:36 Amen.
- 1:42 Channels here on the chart all right.
- 1:44 And so are the marking lights.
- 1:45 Then what's wrong with them?
- 1:48 Those lights don't seem to be in just the right place.
- 1:51 They're both a bit out of position according to this. Two light boys mean a safe channel between the world over.
- 1:57 Safe between the world over doesn't go in these waters.
- 2:00 Look here.
- 2:01 You'll see the water shoals on the island side.
- 2:05 while the deep soundings run to the mainland.
- 2:08 Have any of you seen the captain today? No, he wasn't down for dinner. No, and he wasn't down for lunch.
- 2:14 He hasn't left the bridge since you decided to come through the channel.
- 2:17 What are you driving at?
- 2:19 Ever since you gave him those orders yesterday to cut through these waters,
- 2:23 He's had the jitters.
- 2:25 There's something wrong. I...
- 2:28 Yeah, I'm getting nerves myself. Doc, what do you recommend for nerves? Give him a shot of scotch. Good. Give him the whole bottle. No, no, I've got nerves, too. Here you are, Doc.
573 more segments
- 2:39 Just what you need.
- 2:41 Well...
- 2:43 Maybe you're right.
- 2:44 It is our boy.
- 2:48 Good evening, Captain. Good evening, sir.
- 2:50 May I speak with you?
- 2:51 Why, certainly.
- 2:54 Go ahead.
- 2:55 We're heading straight for the channel between Brank Island and the mainland.
- 2:58 Good.
- 2:59 But the lights are just a bit off, according to the chart. But charts are never up to date in this far of the Pacific. You know that. I know, sir, but...
- 3:08 Doesn't Burank Island mean anything to you? Well, not a lot.
- 3:12 Well, perhaps if I could talk with Mr. Rainsford, he... But Bob's not a sailor. He's a hunter. He's made many of these trips. He's young, but he has judgment.
- 3:19 I'll call him.
- 3:21 Oh, Bob!
- 3:22 Bob!
- 3:23 What is it?
- 3:24 Come up here, will you?
- 3:26 Just a minute.
- 3:27 What's bothering you, Captain? There are no more coral reef, shark infested waters in the whole world than these. Oi! Just take a look at these.
- 3:37 You didn't turn out so hot as a hunter, Doc, but oh, what a photographer.
- 3:40 Say, if we'd had you to take pictures on a Sumatran trip,
- 3:42 They might have believed in my book.
- 3:44 If you'd have had me on the Sumatran trip...
- 3:46 You'd never had me on this one.
- 3:48 Say, here's the swell one of the ships, Skipper.
- 3:52 What's the matter? These old sea dogs tell Yarns to kid each other and end up believing it all themselves.
- 3:57 Well, I think that Mr. Rainford should know that the channel lights aren't just in the position given on the chart.
- 4:01 Oh.
- 4:03 Well, what do you think, fellas?
- 4:04 I think we should turn back and take the outside course.
- 4:07 Oh, no, no, no, no.
- 4:10 We'll go ahead.
- 4:13 Very well, sir.
- 4:14 It's your ship.
- 4:20 It was the schooner Hesperus, and she sailed the wintry sea.
- 4:23 Now, wait a minute, fellas. Let's talk this over. There's no use taking any chances. Chances? That's fine talk coming from a fellow who just got through slapping tigers in the face.
- 4:31 Here, get a knife on this.
- 4:34 And he talks about taking chances. Here's the Doc charging the enemy with an unloaded camera. Get the expression on Doc's face, Bill. He looks more frightened than the tiger. He is.
- 4:45 Just what you have on your mind, Doc.
- 4:48 I'll tell you what I had on my mind.
- 4:50 I was thinking of the inconsistency of civilization. The beast of the jungle killing just for his existence is called savage.
- 4:57 The men...
- 4:58 Killing just for sport is called civilized. Yeah, yeah. It's a bit contradictory, isn't it? Now, just a minute.
- 5:04 What makes you think it isn't just as much sport for the animal as it is for the man?
- 5:09 Now take that fellow right there, for instance. There never was a time when he couldn't have gotten away.
- 5:13 He didn't want to.
- 5:14 He got interested in hunting me.
- 5:16 He didn't hate me for stalking him, any more than I hated him for trying to charge me.
- 5:21 As a matter of fact, we admired each other.
- 5:23 Perhaps.
- 5:24 But would you change places with the tiger?
- 5:27 Well...
- 5:28 Not now.
- 5:31 Mmm, here comes that bad luck lady again.
- 5:34 Third time tonight.
- 5:37 Here, let me shuffle them. Wait a minute. Don't evade the issue. I asked you a question.
- 5:43 You did? I forgot. No, no, you didn't.
- 5:46 I asked you if there'd be as much sport in the game if you were the tiger instead of the hunter.
- 5:51 Thank you. Thank you, now, Bob.
- 5:52 Well, that's something I'll never have to decide.
- 5:55 Listen here, you fellas.
- 5:56 This world is divided into two kinds of people: the hunter and the hunted.
- 6:00 Luckily, I'm a hunter.
- 6:02 Nothing can ever change that.
- 6:16 Hello. Hello, down there. Hello, engine room. Let's have those pilots. If the water ever hits those hot boilers.
- 6:32 Help!
- 7:02 Take him!
- 7:11 Try to drown me!
- 7:15 Where are the others? See anybody?
- 7:23 Nobody left but us, too. And that fellow.
- 7:33 Chuck! Help! Look! Chuck!
- 7:41 Oh! He got me!
- 8:37 Look.
- 9:53 *Loud music*
- 10:40 Hello, anybody here?
- 10:52 Anybody around, I say?
- 10:58 Oh, hello.
- 11:00 Is this your house?
- 11:05 I'm not trying to break in, but I've been in a wreck.
- 11:10 Our yacht just sunk with all hands.
- 11:13 I got ashore and found your place here by accident.
- 11:19 I'm not trying to intrude, but I'm in sort of a jam.
- 11:25 Don't you understand any English?
- 11:27 Ivan does not speak any language.
- 11:30 He has the misfortune to be dumped.
- 11:33 Oh, hello.
- 11:35 Are you the owner here?
- 11:36 Yes.
- 11:37 Welcome to my poor fortress.
- 11:40 Fortress?
- 11:41 It once was, built by the Portuguese centuries ago.
- 11:46 I have had the ruins restored to make my home here.
- 11:49 I am Count Zaroff.
- 11:52 My name's Robert Rainsford.
- 11:53 Glad to meet you.
- 11:56 Very glad.
- 11:59 Ivan is a Cossack.
- 12:01 I am afraid, like all my fellow countrymen, he is a bit of a savage.
- 12:05 Smile, Ivan.
- 12:10 Who lit nice?
- 12:18 I was trying to make him understand there had been a shipwreck in the channel.
- 12:21 It was me!
- 12:23 But how appalling!
- 12:25 And you may say that you were the only survivor?
- 12:28 Yes.
- 12:30 I'm afraid I am.
- 12:33 You're certain? You're certain?
- 12:36 Well, I'd never left the spot if I hadn't been.
- 12:38 The swellest crowd on earth.
- 12:40 My best friends.
- 12:42 It's incredible. Such things are always incredible. Death is for others, not for ourselves.
- 12:49 That is how most of my other guests have felt.
- 12:52 Your other guests?
- 12:54 You mean this has happened before? My dear fellow, we have several survivors from the last wreck still in the house.
- 13:00 It would seem that this island were cursed...
- 13:04 That's just what the captain said.
- 13:06 Only he thought it was uninhabited. We Cossacks find our inspiration in solitude.
- 13:12 Well, it's a break for me anyway. My house is yours, sir.
- 13:16 Oh, by the way, you want to change those wet rags immediately. Yes. Yes.
- 13:21 They look about the way I feel. Yes. I have some loose hunting clothes, which I keep for my guests, that you can possibly get into.
- 13:29 What will the evil of Ukraine you come into?
- 13:32 Ivan will show you to your room. Thank you.
- 13:37 You will find a stiff drink there also.
- 13:41 Thanks a lot.
- 13:42 Ross, you.
- 13:44 All pleasure is mine.
- 14:15 Come in.
- 14:19 Ready, Raceford? All set.
- 14:23 I'm afraid we have finished dinner.
- 14:27 But I have ordered something for you. Thanks. I don't feel like eating.
- 14:30 I'll give to you.
- 14:32 Well, perhaps later.
- 14:34 Now then, what do you say to coffee?
- 14:37 and most charming company.
- 14:44 It is hard to forget your comrade's fate, I know.
- 14:47 But our feminine guest is easily perturbed.
- 14:51 If I could beg you to put a good face upon the matter...
- 14:55 Assume a cheerfulness you may not feel. Why, sure, of course.
- 15:08 Miss Trowbridge, may I present Mr. Robert Rainsford, Miss Eve Trowbridge.
- 15:12 How'd you do?
- 15:21 Don't we? Indeed we do.
- 15:25 Perhaps Mr. Rainsford would like some hot coffee.
- 15:30 Digust two coffee vodka.
- 15:33 Valka, that's the stuff.
- 15:34 One shot will dry you out quicker than all the coffee and java.
- 15:38 Have to toss it off, though, like this.
- 15:40 Now, Martin, you don't have to drink at all tonight, do you? Don't be ridiculous, sis.
- 15:44 We are victims of circumstances.
- 15:46 Same as Mr. Rainsford.
- 15:48 And if anyone has a right to his liquor, it's a victim of circumstance.
- 15:52 Isn't that so, Count? Of course, yes. You were in the shipwreck, too, I understand. Yes. Our lifeboat was the only one saved.
- 15:59 My brother and I and two sailors.
- 16:01 The Count found us on the beach with nothing but the clothes on our backs.
- 16:05 Those channel lights must have been shifted.
- 16:07 I wonder it hasn't been reported. We will report him. Just as soon as we get back to the mainland. You see...
- 16:12 The cart has only one launch.
- 16:15 And that's...
- 16:16 Under repair.
- 16:19 Russians are not the best mechanics.
- 16:23 I'm afraid we'll have to be patient a few days longer.
- 16:26 That's all right with me. I feel as if I were living on borrowed time right now.
- 16:31 Speaking of that, perhaps now you'll tell us a little bit about who you are. Just sketchily, you know. Born, married, why I left my last job. No, no, no, no. One moment, please.
- 16:41 Mr. Rainsford need never explain who he is in my house. No? No, we entertain a celebrity, Miss Troubridge.
- 16:48 Wait a minute, wait a minute. Don't tell me. Let me guess.
- 16:53 I know. Flagpole sitter. Oh, flagpole sitter. I know. He wrote some books. No, he lived some books.
- 17:00 If I am not mistaken, this is Mr. Robert Rainsford.
- 17:03 Who hunts big games so adventurously.
- 17:06 Here's Julia.
- 17:07 I've lugged the gun around a little. I've lugged the gun around a little.
- 17:10 No, I have read your books. I read all books on hunting.
- 17:14 A papyrusso?
- 17:18 Only in yours have I found a sane point of view. What do you mean, sane?
- 17:25 You do not excuse what needs no excuse. And at MPC, how did you put it?
- 17:30 Hunting is as much a game as stud poker, only the limits are higher.
- 17:34 You have put our case perfectly, Mr. Rainsford.
- 17:38 - Well, then you're a hunter yourself. - We are kindred spirits.
- 17:42 It is my one passion...
- 17:44 He sleeps all day and hunts all night. And what's more, Rainsford, he'll have you doing the same thing.
- 17:50 We'll have capital sport together, I hope.
- 17:52 Don't encourage him.
- 17:53 You know, he's had our two settlers so busy chasing around the woods after Flora and Fana...
- 17:59 that we haven't seen him for three days.
- 18:04 But what are you on here?
- 18:07 I'll tell you.
- 18:09 You will be amused, I know.
- 18:11 I have done a rare thing.
- 18:14 I have invented a new sensation.
- 18:17 Yeah, and is he stingy with it?
- 18:19 What does this sensation count?
- 18:21 Mr. Rainsford.
- 18:22 God made some men poets.
- 18:25 Some he made kings, some beggars.
- 18:28 Me he made a hunter.
- 18:32 My hand was made for the trigger my father told me.
- 18:38 He was a very rich man.
- 18:39 with a quarter of a million acres in the Crimea and an ardent sportsman.
- 18:43 When I was only still up high, he gave me my first gun. Good for him. My life has been one glorious hunt. It would be impossible for me to tell you how many animals I have killed.
- 18:55 But when the revolution played up... Look now.
- 18:58 VITRISTO!
- 19:01 Oh, I'm so sorry.
- 19:04 Count Zarif was so interesting I didn't realize the danger.
- 19:11 Oh, it's all right now.
- 19:12 What were you saying about the revolution, Count?
- 19:14 Oh, merely that I escaped.
- 19:16 with most of my fortune.
- 19:18 Naturally, I continue to hunt.
- 19:21 all over the world.
- 19:23 It was in Africa that the Cape Buffalo gave me this. That must have been a close call. Yes, it still bothers me sometimes.
- 19:32 However, in two months, I was on my way to the Amazons.
- 19:35 I'd heard that the Jaguars there were unusually cunning.
- 19:41 No sport at all.
- 19:43 Well, conditions are bad everywhere these days.
- 19:46 One night as I lay in my tent with this...
- 19:49 This head of mine.
- 19:51 A terrible thought cracked like a snake into my brain.
- 19:56 Hunting was beginning to bore me.
- 20:00 Is that such a terrible thought, Count?
- 20:02 It is, my dear lady, when hunting has been the whip for all other passions.
- 20:07 When I lost my love of hunting,
- 20:10 I lost my love of life.
- 20:13 Of love.
- 20:18 Well, you seem to have stood it pretty well. I even tried to sink myself to the level of the savage.
- 20:24 I made myself perfect in the use of the tartar wobble.
- 20:29 Tucker, what's...
- 20:31 - Tartar wobo.
- 20:34 That one up there.
- 20:38 Mr. Killett.
- 20:42 Even to this day I prefer to hunt with it. But alas, even that was too deadly. What I needed was not a new weapon.
- 20:50 but a new animal.
- 20:52 A new animal?
- 20:55 Exactly so.
- 20:57 You found one?
- 21:00 Yes.
- 21:03 here on my island.
- 21:06 I hunt the most dangerous game.
- 21:11 the most dangerous game
- 21:14 You mean tigers?
- 21:15 Tigers.
- 21:16 No.
- 21:19 The tiger has nothing but his claws and his fangs.
- 21:25 I heard some queer beast howling back there along the water.
- 21:28 Was that it?
- 21:37 It's no use, Frenchman.
- 21:39 He won't tell.
- 21:41 He won't even let you see his trophy room.
- 21:44 Until he gets ready to take you on the hunt of a great Watson.
- 21:48 My one secret...
- 21:50 I keep it as a surprise for my guests.
- 21:53 Against the rainy day of boredom.
- 21:56 That's no, boy. You let me in on that game, and I'll bet you I'd go for it.
- 22:01 You know, Ricewood, he hasn't failed yet.
- 22:03 If he says the thing is good,
- 22:05 It is, Gareth.
- 22:06 Is it a judge of liquor?
- 22:08 Wizard of the contract, plays the piano, anything you want.
- 22:12 He's a good host.
- 22:14 A good scowl, eh, Count? Yes, yes. You want me to go hunting? All right, you just say the word. We're pals.
- 22:21 We'll have a big party to get cock-eyed and go hunting. A completely civilized point of view. Listen, I'll tell what you do. You call to my place in the Adirondack sometimes, see?
- 22:30 We'll have a private car...
- 22:32 liquor and gals on the trip
- 22:34 and the guides will make the dears behave.
- 22:39 I think we'd better change the subject.
- 22:42 All right.
- 22:43 Senator Summitt.
- 22:44 Oh, I know. Play the piano, huh?
- 22:47 If you wish,
- 22:49 Good idea. Play the piano. Now leave it to me and I'll fix everything.
- 22:53 Perhaps the Count doesn't want to play.
- 22:57 Now, there you go, sis. Throw in cold water. Now, leave me alone. I know what a pianist. I'm perfectly sober.
- 23:04 A charming simplicity.
- 23:07 Completely civilized, did you say? He talks of waning women as a prelude to the hunt.
- 23:13 We barbarians know that it is after the chase and then only...
- 23:17 That man revels. It does seem a bit like cocktails before breakfast. Of course, yes. You know the saying of the O'Ghandi chieftains.
- 23:24 Hunt first the enemy...
- 23:26 Then the woman.
- 23:27 That's the savages idea everywhere. It is the natural instinct.
- 23:31 What is woman?
- 23:33 Even such a woman as this, until the blood is quickened by the kill.
- 23:39 Oh, I don't know. Oh, I don't know.
- 23:42 You Americans.
- 23:44 One passion builds upon another.
- 23:47 Killed.
- 23:49 Then love.
- 23:51 When you have known that...
- 23:53 You will have no next to say.
- 23:58 Oh, Martin. Martin.
- 24:02 introducing Zaroff, the keyboard king.
- 24:05 In his Branca Island Hour.
- 24:08 Come on, Count, now you show them.
- 24:10 What do you suggest? Oh, just a good tune. But not a highbrow like last night.
- 24:14 Just a good tune, see? I see.
- 24:42 Oh, it's hunting dogs. Keep your voice low and listen.
- 24:48 It isn't true about the launch needing repairs. I had it leave the boat house last night.
- 24:51 If you'd change this morning,
- 24:53 You mean he's keeping you from returning to the mainland? Yes.
- 24:59 Well, perhaps he enjoys the company of two very charming people. Two, maybe.
- 25:03 There were four of us a week ago.
- 25:05 The other two have disappeared. What do you mean?
- 25:09 One night after dinner, the cop took one of our sailors down to see his trophy.
- 25:14 At the foot of those stone steps.
- 25:18 That iron door? Yes. Two nights later, he took the other day.
- 25:23 Neither have been seen since.
- 25:27 Have you asked him about them? He says they've gone hunting. Oh, be careful.
- 25:31 He's watching you.
- 25:33 Will you smile as if I've said something funny?
- 25:36 I don't know.
- 25:37 Now, look here, you must be mistaken... Not now.
- 25:41 Applied.
- 25:46 Ah, boy, ah, boy.
- 25:48 Thank you. What did I tell you? It smacks the main ivory, eh, Rinsford? It was splendid. Don't stop, please. No, you're afraid we are...
- 25:55 failed to hold the full attention of our audience.
- 25:58 Well, I...
- 25:59 I expect it's rather difficult for Mr. Rainsford to concentrate on anything after all he's been through. Oh, my dear lady, you are pleading for yourself.
- 26:07 I can see the drooping of those lovely eyes.
- 26:11 Excuse me. Provide on a verre.
- 26:14 You know, the Count's worse than a family governess. Every night he sends us off to bed like naughty children. Oh, no, my dear.
- 26:21 No.
- 26:23 Charming children.
- 26:28 There. You hear that, sis? Now try along upstairs and don't bother us grown-ups anymore. Well, after that, I guess...
- 26:35 I guess I'll have to go.
- 26:37 Good night, Mr. Rainsford. Good night. We'll be seeing each other at breakfast.
- 26:41 Good night. Good night. Good night, sis. We won't be seeing each other at breakfast.
- 26:47 Oh, my dear Rainsford, I have been most inconsiderate. You must be feeling the need of sleep, too. Yes, I am just about all in. Then Ivan will show you to your room.
- 27:01 Oh, excuse your comitre.
- 27:05 Oh, Martin, turn in early, please. No way. Come on.
- 27:10 The Count will take care of me, all right.
- 27:14 Indeed I shall.
- 27:33 Well, good night.
- 27:34 Good night, sir.
- 27:35 Sleep well.
- 27:47 Oh, ha.
- 27:48 Well, his long life...
- 27:51 A long life.
- 27:54 Tell me, Mr. Trowbridge,
- 27:57 Are you also fatigued? Tired? Me? You know I'm not.
- 28:03 You know, Rainsford, we two are just alike.
- 28:06 Up all night and sleep all day. Well, good night.
- 28:13 Well...
- 28:13 What are we gonna do, huh?
- 28:19 What's the big idea?
- 28:22 I thought that perhaps tonight...
- 28:26 You would like to see my trophy room?
- 28:29 Your selfie room?
- 28:31 I'm sure you will find it most...
- 28:36 Interesting.
- 28:38 Say, that's a great idea. Now, apparel, no more secrets now, huh? We'll make a night of it. I hope so, Mr. Trowbridge. Just you and I, apparel, we'll have fun together, huh? Precisely, yes.
- 28:54 Fun together. Ah, boy, Collie, old boy, old boy, Collie.
- 29:07 What?
- 29:14 Here we go.
- 29:34 I'm going to go.
- 29:39 Please let me come in. I'm sorry to disturb you, but...
- 29:43 I'm frightened.
- 29:45 - What was it, those dogs? - My brother. I've been listening for hours for him to come upstairs.
- 29:49 I've just gone to his room.
- 29:51 He isn't there.
- 29:52 Well, he's probably somewhere with a count. That's just what I'm afraid of.
- 29:55 Count Zaref is planning something.
- 29:58 About my brother and me.
- 30:00 You don't really think anything's happened to your brother. Oh, I don't know, but we've got to find him.
- 30:04 Won't you help me?
- 30:06 Of course I'll help you.
- 30:08 Yeah.
- 30:09 Where do you think he's gone?
- 30:10 Where did the others go?
- 30:13 The iron door.
- 30:17 I'll meet you downstairs in five minutes.
- 30:30 Amen.
- 30:38 Amen.
- 30:48 Oh.
- 30:50 That's queer. It's unlocked.
- 31:32 Ah!
- 31:45 Master Rojno, you can't say this.
- 31:48 There! He's coming down!
- 31:50 Back here, quick!
- 32:00 How are you doing, right?
- 32:04 We'll come over here.
- 32:28 Where's my brother? Where's my brother?
- 32:48 You killed him!
- 32:51 You're...
- 32:52 Killed my brother!
- 32:54 - - English! Who are you?
- 33:00 I think he gave you a little.
- 33:03 Ah! Ah!
- 33:13 Woo!
- 33:18 Come, come, my dear Rainsford.
- 33:20 I don't want to treat you like my other guests.
- 33:23 You and I, we are hunters.
- 33:28 So that's your most dangerous game.
- 33:31 Yes, my dear fellow, I intended to tell you last night. But you know Miss, Miss Thrawbridge... You hunted him like an animal. I know what you think, but you are wrong.
- 33:40 He was sober and fit for sport when I sent him out.
- 33:43 An hour or two strapped up in here, brought him to his senses. You raven maniac. Yes, yes, yes.
- 33:50 I'll take it off.
- 33:51 When we finish, the stupid fellow tried to escape.
- 33:54 through the slopes of Fog Hollow.
- 33:57 You see, when I first began stalking my island, many of my guests thought I was joking.
- 34:03 So I established this trophy room.
- 34:06 I always bring them here before the hunt.
- 34:09 An hour with my trophies...
- 34:11 And they usually do their best to keep away from me.
- 34:14 Where do you get these poor devils?
- 34:17 Providence provided my island with dangerous reefs.
- 34:22 But there are light buoys to mark the safe channel. He, he, he, he.
- 34:26 They do not always mark it.
- 34:29 You shifted them. Precisely right. Too bad your yacht should have suffered.
- 34:34 But at least it brought us together.
- 34:37 You take half-drowned men from ships, you've wrecked.
- 34:39 and drive them out to be hunted.
- 34:41 I give them every consideration.
- 34:44 Good food? Exercise?
- 34:46 Everything to get them in splendid shape.
- 34:49 To be shot down in cold blood. Oh, no, no, no.
- 34:52 Oh, I admit with this annoying fellow...
- 34:55 But usually I give them hunting clothes.
- 34:58 A woodsman's knife and a full day's start.
- 35:01 Why, I even wait until midnight to give them the full advantage of the dark.
- 35:05 And if one eludes me only till sunrise...
- 35:08 He wins the game.
- 35:11 Suppose he refuses to be hunted.
- 35:17 Ivan is such an artist with these.
- 35:21 Invariably, Mr. Rainsford...
- 35:23 Invariably they choose to hunt.
- 35:26 And when they win,
- 35:33 To date, I have not lost.
- 35:37 Oh, Rainsford, you'll find this game worth playing. When the next ship arrives, we'll have gorgeous sport together. You murdering rat, I'm a hunter.
- 35:46 Not an assassin!
- 35:47 Come, Rainsford.
- 35:49 Say you will hunt with me.
- 35:52 hunt men
- 35:55 Say you'll hunt with me!
- 36:03 No.
- 36:05 What do you think I am?
- 36:08 One I fear who dare not follow his own convictions to their logical conclusion.
- 36:14 I'm afraid in this instance, Mr. Rainsford.
- 36:18 You may have to follow them.
- 36:23 What do you mean?
- 36:25 I shall not wait for the next ship.
- 36:29 Four o'clock. The sun is just rising. What's the technique in the ridge-linking?
- 36:37 Come, Mr. Rainsford. Let us not waste time.
- 36:42 Come on.
- 36:55 Ivan!
- 36:58 Giggis.
- 37:00 Your fangs and claws, Mr. Raisman.
- 37:07 No!
- 37:20 Ivan!
- 37:22 Oh!
- 37:22 Yeah.
- 37:23 What would I go to?
- 37:25 I'm going to be hunted. - No, no. No, Miss Troubridge.
- 37:28 outdoor chess.
- 37:30 his brain against mine, his woodcraft against mine.
- 37:36 And the pie?
- 37:38 The prize?
- 37:39 You made it call what I said last evening.
- 37:43 Only after the kill.
- 37:45 Does man know the true extasi of love?
- 37:50 Suppose you lose.
- 37:53 If I do not...
- 37:55 What shall I say? Find you!
- 37:58 between midnight and sunrise tomorrow
- 38:02 Freedom for both of you. I'm going with you. No.
- 38:05 He'll kill you too. Not at all. One does not kill the female animal.
- 38:10 If you lose, I can easily recapture her alive. All right.
- 38:14 I'll take her with me then.
- 38:15 We'll set him a trail he'll remember.
- 38:23 It's only fair to advise you against
- 38:25 Hog Hollow.
- 38:28 Out your chest, Mr. Rainford.
- 38:45 Don't lose your nerve.
- 38:47 We beat this thing.
- 38:48 Diablo, is your name?
- 38:50 We will.
- 38:59 Come on, let's get going.
- 39:22 *whistling*
- 39:31 It seems as though we've come miles.
- 39:33 Yeah.
- 39:35 Three dollars doesn't take you far in this jungle.
- 39:37 Come on, let's keep going.
- 39:39 Come on.
- 39:46 Just a little more of this.
- 39:50 Then, easy downhill going.
- 39:52 Soon be safe.
- 40:19 No wonder he was so sure.
- 40:21 This island is no bigger than a deer park.
- 40:24 Oh, Ben!
- 40:27 Come on now.
- 40:30 What are we going to do?
- 40:32 We didn't each live through a shipwreck.
- 40:34 They'll let this crazy manhunter worry us.
- 40:37 I shouldn't have come with you.
- 40:38 You might beat him if you were alone.
- 40:41 Alone?
- 40:42 And leave you here with that savage.
- 40:44 Not a chance.
- 40:48 Now, we've got to think of something to worry him.
- 40:51 Oh, you'd never get near him. It'd shoot on sight.
- 40:54 Weapons aren't everything in the jungle.
- 40:57 Stay.
- 40:58 Do you notice that leaning tree down there?
- 41:00 The one we just passed?
- 41:02 Yes.
- 41:02 Come on, I want to show you something.
- 41:06 You see?
- 41:09 If that supporting branch were cut away,
- 41:11 This fallen tree would make a perfect melee deadfall. A melee deadfall? What's that? A man-killing contraption that natives use.
- 41:18 Stop that madman, all right.
- 41:20 Trouble is, it takes quite a few hours to build.
- 41:23 He said he wouldn't follow till midnight. That's right.
- 41:25 You help me I think we'll have time come on we'll cut some strong vines I
- 41:43 Look out.
- 41:44 Don't touch that trip line, you'll have a two-ton tree down on your back. Junglewood's as heavy as iron.
- 41:49 Will it really work? I've never known a living thing to get by one yet. Look here. You touch that trip line.
- 41:57 You'll pull that trigger free.
- 41:59 Once that's loose,
- 42:01 There's nothing to keep the log from coming down.
- 42:03 It'll crash down and kill anything underneath it.
- 42:06 Look.
- 42:16 We're ready. Let 'em come.
- 42:36 Give me that knife.
- 43:14 Oh, my God.
- 43:39 Come out, Rainsford. Michael Longing.
- 43:43 I am the bungalow shop.
- 43:45 You'll never even see it.
- 43:47 But surely you don't think that anyone who has hunted leopards would follow you into that ambush?
- 43:59 Oh, very well. If you choose to play the leopard, I shall hunt you like a leopard.
- 44:28 And it's a trick.
- 45:06 Where did it go?
- 45:08 He's playing with us. Like a cat with a mouse. What do you mean? You heard him say he'd hunt us as he'd hunt a leopard. It means he's gone for his high-powered rifle. His rifle? His rifle?
- 45:18 Oh, Bob, we must get away from here. - Run, run! - Eve, wait!
- 45:42 No, I tell you, no! Don't stop!
- 45:45 No! Wait! That's Fog Hollow ahead. Fog Hollow? The swamp where he caught the others.
- 45:52 We haven't a chance of keeping ahead of him there. But there's no place else to run. That's just what he's counting on. We've got two hours till dawn. We've got to use our brains instead of our legs. And he'll have his legs on.
- 46:02 and we'll have a man trap.
- 46:06 Hey!
- 46:06 It makes me good.
- 46:10 Cover this over. When Mr. Zaro falls down there, he'll be all through hunting. Quick, gather some cheese from grass. I'll cut some branches.
- 47:21 I'll be right back.
- 47:42 *gunshot*
- 48:15 Very good, Rainsford. Very good. You have not won yet.
- 48:22 Look at your watch.
- 48:28 Are you looking at it?
- 48:30 Still half an hour till sunrise.
- 48:32 Swamp or no swamp, we can keep ahead of them that long. As you are doubtless saying, the odds are against me. You have made my rifle useless in the fog. You cannot blame me if I overcome that obstacle.
- 48:51 *Piano music*
- 52:30 I'm sorry.
- 53:01 Now I know how they felt.
- 57:01 Ahmed!
- 57:03 Miss Trowbridge.
- 57:06 Bring her here.
- 57:09 Now!
- 58:06 My dear Rainsford, I congratulate you.
- 58:17 You have beaten me.
- 58:21 Not yet.
- 58:23 Oh, but of course I insist...
- 58:31 Why, you're...
- 58:34 You're not even wounded.
- 58:37 You hit the dog, not me.
- 58:39 I took a chance and went over with him.
- 58:43 A clever trick, Rainsford.
- 58:46 I cheerfully admit defeat.
- 58:51 Here's the key of the boathouse.
- 58:55 The door is in the trophy room.
- 58:57 You and Miss Throwbridge may leave at once. No!
- 59:57 Oh, my God.
- 1:00:00 Ah!
- 1:00:07 Oh, God!
- 1:00:26 *cough*
- 1:00:28 Okay.
- 1:00:31 Mom!
- 1:00:35 E!
- 1:00:44 The boat, quick!
- 1:01:05 Help!
- 1:01:35 Impossible.
