Island of Lost Souls Page #4

- No, thank you.

- Captain Donahue, I suppose you'll -

- I'll take mine straight.

I thought so.

Whoa. That'll do. Thanks.

- Mr. Parker?

- No, thanks. We'll be going now.

Aren't you being a little rash,

Mr. Parker?

- Rash?

- Come on, Donahue.

You have a mile

to go through my jungle.

- Yes, I realize that.

- We're not afraid.

I can see, Captain Donahue,

that you would be afraid of nothing.

But Mr. Parker had one experience

at night in my jungle.

I have no wish to frighten you,

Miss Thomas...

but if Mr. Parker chooses to put you

in what he knows to be real danger...

it will be his responsibility.

Couldn't you send someone -

If you care to accept

the hospitality of my house...

you can leave in complete safety

in the morning.

Well, perhaps that would be better.

Captain Donahue,

you can share Mr. Parker's room.

Miss Thomas, you can have my room.

M'ling. Dinner will be for five.

No wine, Montgomery?

No.

Extraordinary.

My regards, Captain Donahue.

Here's mud in your eye, Doc.

Doc, I see you're a vegetarian.

It's on account of the natives.

They've never tasted meat.

No long pig?

"Long pig"?

He means human flesh, Miss Thomas.

Oh.

What's that?

The natives.

They have a curious ceremony.

Mr. Parker's witnessed it.

Tell us about it, Edward.

Oh, it's - it's nothing.

They are restless tonight.

What is it, dear?

Oh, uh, nothing.

Don't pay any attention to me.

A little more claret, Captain Donahue?

Eh, don't mind if I do.

M'ling, fill up Captain Donahue's glass.

Whoa, whoa. Whoa. That'll do.

- Well.

- Skoal!

- Good night, Doc. That sure was swell wine.

- Thank you.

- Good night, Dr. Moreau.

- Good night, Miss Thomas.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Whoa!

Say, it's a good thing I ain't a drinkin' man.

You did very well for yourself tonight.

Oh, you oughta see me when I'm real -

Yes, I - I have a rough idea.

I remember one night

down in Mombasa -

Captain, uh, that's our room over there.

Oh, sure.

- Good night, Miss Thomas.

- Good night.

Don't be frightened, dear.

I'll be just across the hall.

Oh, I'm all right.

What's there to be afraid of?

- Good night.

- Good night.

- Better lock your door.

- Now don't you worry. I'll be all right.

If you need me, call.

Good night.

Ruth! What is it?

Quick!

You'd better get dressed, dear.

Ouran tried to break into her room -

Miss Thomas's room.

- But I suppose you know that.

- I heard a scream and some shots.

And that's all you know, is it?

You didn't want it to happen,

of course.

That isn't what you meant when you said

that you might not need Parker?

Will you mind your own business?

I know you too well

and too long, Moreau.

I've stood for anything.

I have stood for plenty.

But not this.

You're insane to even think of it,

and I'm through with you here and now.

Are you going back to England...

to prison?

I'd prefer it.

Same one that peeked out

through the bushes this afternoon?

Yes. It was horrible.

We're no safer here than in the jungle.

I'd advise the jungle.

I'm sure Miss Thomas

would be safer there.

I'm going to the ship and get my crew.

We'll stop this.

- Come with me a minute.

- I don't like your taking this risk.

I've been in tighter places than this,

and the old head is still on its hinges.

- Here. You may need this.

- No, no. I'm already heeled.

I'll take that lantern.

That might come in handy.

Here. Here's the key to the front gate.

Well, here goes nothin'.

Ouran.

I want you to follow him and put

your hands around his throat until -

- The Law.

- It's all right tonight.

Get back there!

Get back!

Thanks, Montgomery.

You must have a pretty good reason

for helping us.

I have.

I'm going with you.

Get back! Get back!

Ouran kill!

Ouran spill the blood!

What is the Law?

Not to spill blood!

Are we not men?

Are we not men?

You broke the Law.

Law no more.

Law no more?

You spill blood.

He tell me spill blood.

What is the Law?

Law no more!

What is the Law?

Law no more!

Moreau -

- Law no more!

- They're more than usually restless tonight.

Where's Captain Donahue?

He is man like him?

Man like him.

Man dead.

Dead.

He can die?

He can die.

He can die!

He can die!

They're quite out of hand tonight.

He can die!

Dr. Moreau! Dr. Moreau!

They come! They come to kill!

- Where's Captain Donahue?

- Dead.

- Give me the whip.

- Don't be a fool, Moreau. Come on inside.

You afraid?

Lock the gates if you are.

I'm going to meet them.

M'ling. The faithful dog.

He can die!

What is the Law?

Law... no more.

What is the Law?

Not to spill blood.

He tell me spill blood.

What is the Law?

Law no more!

Law no more!

Law no more!

Law no more!

Come on, Montgomery.

Leave it open

in case he wants to run for it.

We'll try the back way.

Quick. They're coming.

Lota.

- Lota.

- We can't leave her.

Wait here.

Have you forgotten

the House of Pain?

You! You made us in the House of Pain!

You made us... things!

Things!

Not men!

Things!

Not beasts!

Things!

Part man!

Part beast!

Things!

Things! Things!

- Part man!

- Part beast!

- Beasts!

- Part man!

Part man! Part beast!

Part man!

Stop, you - Fools!

This is the House of Pain!

Stop! Stop!

The House of Pain!

Pain! Pain!

What was that?

Where's Lota?

You...

go back...

to sea.

She's done for.

- Come on.

- We'll take her to the sea.

It's better that we leave her here.

The fire will soon destroy

all of Moreau's work.

Hah! Little knives!

Knives!

Don't look back.
