Hatari!

- Kurt, can you hear me?

- Go ahead, Sean.

At about 11 o'clock,

right in the middle of that herd

of wildebeest. See him?

- Now that's a good one.

- Let's go. Start out easy.

OK, Pockets.

This one must be a female, she can't

make up her mind which way to go.

Tell Kurt to let her run a while,

wear her down.

- Sean says give her some exercise.

- That's what we'll do.

Tell us when you want her.

Tell Kurt to take his time.

This is a mean one.

Take your time, Kurt.

Try her, Pockets, move in closer.

See what she's like.

Watch her, Pockets. Don't lose her.

The rhino got the Indian.

Swing around.

Bring the first-aid kit.

Are you trying to get a vacation?

- He hooked me good.

- He did, at that.

- Why didn't you shoot him?

- I didn't know he planned to ride with us.

- You can fix that up, Pockets.

- Big Band-Aid will do it.

- You all right? Want to stretch out?

Leave him here. Makes it easier

for me to work. Room, please!

Tough luck.

My fault. I messed it up.

- How is it your fault?

- I was driving, wasn't I?

- The Indian could have shot him.

- You find him again, I'll shoot him.

This tourniquet isn't working.

Better get him to hospital.

- Get him into the catching truck.

- Luis.

- Come on. Give 'em a hand.

- Hold it, buddy.

Easy.

Kurt.

Calling Arusha Control.

Arusha Control speaking. Go ahead.

This is Sean Mercer.

A man's been horned by a rhino.

He's bleeding pretty badly.

Tell Dr Sanderson we'll be at Arusha

hospital in about five hours. Over.

- Will do. Anything else?

- That's all. Over and out.

That hole looks very bad.

It don't look good.

After we get out of here,

push on ahead to the compound.

Pick up Brandy,

she'd want to be at the hospital.

You'll get there as quickly as we do.

- Arga! Where's Missy?

- In room.

No dinner. We're going into town.

The Indian bwana got hurt.

- Bad?

- I don't know yet. Get me some coffee.

Come in.

Hi, Kurt. You're back early.

- Is something wrong?

- Ja.

The Indian... Rhino gored him

in the leg. He lost a lot of blood.

They are taking him into hospital now.

- Must we hurry?

- I came ahead. There's plenty of time.

Thanks for coming for me.

Help me with my zipper, it's stuck.

Come over with me.

How did it happen? Was it

the same way as my father was killed?

No, we hadn't even put a rope on him.

How then?

It was my fault. I got too close.

The engine was spitting a little...

I took the chance and the Indian

was the one that got hurt.

You all take chances.

That's part of the job.

I know, but I shouldn't

have taken that one.

And to pull this thing up here...

I'm afraid of ripping something...

- Here you are.

- Thank you. I'll get a coat.

- How long does it take?

- As long as it takes.

You mean to tell whether

a man can live or not?

Patience, my boy, patience.

Sterling virtue. I wish I had more of it.

All we can do is wait.

Just don't start climbing the walls.

Who's got a cigarette?

- It's yours?

- Thanks.

- Which one is Sean Mercer?

- I am.

- I hear you've got a job open.

- What job?

They said in town

you'd be needing a man.

You're in a rush, aren't you?

Is he asking for the Indian's job?

- He's not dead yet.

- I know that.

I asked for the job

because I was afraid if I waited,

someone else might get it.

- You'd better get out of here.

- I'm not talking to you, I just...

Kurt, take it easy.

When a fellow's hungry... Cut it out!

Damp it! You can't whip us all.

- I can try.

- Bring your lunch.

What's going on here?

I have a patient already.

I don't want any more.

- How is he, Sandy? How's the Indian?

- Not good.

Did it have to be the Indian?

- What do you mean?

- We didn't arrange it.

You seem to take turns getting hurt.

I wish it was someone else.

You all have standard type blood

that's easy to match.

- The Indian has to be different.

- He needs a transfusion?

Plasma is not doing the job.

I need whole blood.

AB negative is not very easy to find.

I'll have to call on...

- What is that for?

- I was thinking...

...you were in a little too much of a hurry.

We are talking about blood type.

Exactly.

You mean, that is your blood type?

AB negative?

That's right.

Well, it seems the Indian's luck

hasn't run out.

- If you're willing...

- He is.

- I will?

- If you want that job.

I don't want anything from you,

including the job.

- You refuse to give him the blood?

- I didn't say that.

But I don't like to be told.

You are going to have to ask me now.

I ask you, please.

I'm sorry, Mademoiselle,

but he's going to have to ask me.

All right. I'm asking you.

This is the way you ask?

- Where do I go?

- In there. Tell the nurse...

- Wait. Tomorrow...

- He won't be going anywhere tomorrow.

When he's through with you,

we'll talk about that job.

I'll think about it. Mademoiselle...

Where did you say to go?

Second door on the left.

Tell the nurse to get you ready.

- Who's he?

- I don't know. I'm glad he's here.

Doc, how long before you can tell us

about the Indian?

Two or three hours. In the meantime,

would you do me a favour?

- Sure, Doc.

- Get out of here.

Leave me in peace. Go have a drink.

I think the Indian will be all right.

- We'll be at the Safari Bar. Coming?

- On the way.

Safari Bar. Yes, sir, they're here.

Hello, Doc. How's the Indian?

Did he have a tough time?

Everything OK? Nothing went wrong?

- He don't say anything.

- Give him a chance and shut up!

He what...? Thanks, Doc.

The Indian sat up, asked for a drink

and made a pass at the nurse.

Thanks, Doc. We'll call you tomorrow.

- Youman! Another round.

- Yes, sir.

- Port!

- Port.

- Starboard!

- Starboard.

- Drop it!

- Drop it.

- Breakfast at six.

- It's a challenge we'll try to meet.

- Goodnight, everybody.

- Goodnight.

Goodnight, Brandy.

- Dead ahead, sailor.

- Aye, aye, sir!

Goodnight!

Before you go any further,

I should tell you, you're not alone.

I waited for you. The house boy

was gone and it was getting late.

Hi. I had to sleep somewhere

and I just picked a room.

I suppose I picked yours.

I hope you don't mind.

I don't mind... Who are you?

- Anna Maria D'Alessandro.

- What?

Anna Maria D'Alessandro.

And who are you?

I'm Sean Mercer, but...

What are you doing here?

- Trying to get some sleep.

- I don't mean that, I mean...

- You didn't expect me?

- I sure didn't.

- What's that for?

- I wanted to see if...

...if I was seeing things.

- You've been drinking a little.

No, ma'am. I've been drinking a lot.

Sean, I wanna talk to you about

tomorrow morning. Don't you think...?

I wanna talk to you about tomorrow...

- Is there somebody in your bed?

- Yes, there is.

What did you want to say to me?

I had something important to say.

Can't remember what it is.

- Who is she?

- I don't know.

Sean. Do you have some...?

I beg your pardon, I didn't expect...

He doesn't know who she is.

- Why is she in his bed?

- He doesn't know.

- I didn't say that.

- What did you say?

- I don't know.
