Man to Man Page #2

- All well sir.

- Did they sleep at all?

- One at time.

- Did you see them fornicate?

- Fornicate? Why?

Curiosity.

Scientific curiosity.

- Is the female the mate of male?

- Not as far as I'm aware.

I haven't the faintest idea

what they are to each other.

They probably think we'll

attack them if they both sleep.

Or they're waiting

for a chance to attack us.

- What are they doing?

- They're exercising.

Fascinating!

America! Stop!

Stop, America!

Fraser, on you go.

That's it!

Fraser, get out!

Back! America stop!

Open the door!

Fraser get to the door! Out!

Breathe! Breathe!

I'm not finished with you...

not by a long way.

Heaven breathe!

Something you need me for,

Mr. Duncan?

I was worried. We heard

shots coming from the mill.

Yes, we did fire some shots.

And you know why, Mr. Duncan?

We're studying the degree of

emotion our little savages...

might display. It's most

instructive. Good day.

Jamie...

Toko...

Come on, there is

nothing to lose.

"Three blind mice,

see how they run...

Run after the farmer's wife and

cut off the tails with a knife

QA to AB, 83 degrees.

Facial line 9 and

one quarter inches.

QA to AB, 62 degrees.

Facial line,

Facial projection, 108.

Cerebral projection, 87...

No it's right.

The great apes are almost

always below 50 degrees.

Negroes, usually above 70.

Mongols between 73 and 77...

and you Jamie, the perfect

Caucasian at 83.

Which would seem to place our

pygmies right in the middle.

Between the most evolved apes

and the least developed humans.

You know what this implies?

How certain are you?

- Results point in one direction.

- We can't afford to be wrong.

I've checked and checked again.

My God!

It looks like the world is gonna

have to come to terms with...

the fact that Adam and Eve were

a little black man and woman.

They're gonna have to

repaint the Sistine Chapel.

When you left them alone they

didn't seem troubled in any way?

No, they weren't "troubled".

Wrong vocabulary, my fellow.

That would require intelligence

and a capacity for reflection.

Our couple are thousands

of years away from all that.

Pull up there!

Who gave you the permission

to come in here?

No one! But I assumed you're

not going to turn me away.

If you succeed, then

you'll be forgiven...

until then we'll have to ensure

we have the proper documents.

I understand.

Toko "Ambaka" for the man.

What do you think?

And do you know the name

of the girl?

You... just invent something.

Wouli Djem. And the age is?

Say 20 for him

You'd better fill in the rest.

So, our guests are Toko Ambaka

and Wouli Djem.

In the province of Oubangui in

the territory of King Mateke.

They have come to Scotland at

the invitation or Royal Academy.

I need a letter of confirmation

from the Academy.

Consider it done.

I hereby certify that both

of the said individuals...

are placed under my authority

for a period of three months.

Please sign.

May I see them?

Madame... would you join me?

It's safe now.

We don't have much time.

Madame, considering you're here,

it'd be most helpful...

I don't think any of us should...

I see. What shall I say?

It's very delicate.

- It would seem something of...

- Of a violation?

Very well.

I think you should leave!

She's most definitely a woman.

What are these for?

Fill this with lead shot and we

can tell exactly the volume...

of the cranium. We can measure

the size of their brains.

She's waking.

Good, yes, I have it.

Careful.

Be calm.

Hold her!

- What are you doing?

- She sees her own death!

She thinks her soul is being

taken from her.

She would have killed herself.

Have you seen them?

No, but I could hear the most

awful cries. Not human cries.

And it wasn't the first time.

We got to get them out of here.

They bring evil.

They got evil powers.

This is nonsense. What evil

have they done to you?

My child has raging fever,

three days now.

My cattle are maddened, they

don't sleep at night.

That's the moon... everyone

knows that. You can't...

Mr. Auchinleck's not the same.

He's like a man possessed...

and we should deliver him

from his possession!

Go up and get Mr. Auchinleck.

Douglas, you come with me.

It's an asthma attack.

He could die...

Quickly!

Bring me the lamp and

hold his head up!

Hold his head!

Bastard!

You give that here,

black buggers.

Too late, sir. And so were we.

Clear the way!

Move aside, I say!

Douglas is dead, sir.

The savages killed him.

God bless his soul.

Spread out... you go

in small groups.

Do not hurt them on any

account. I want them alive.

Any man who harms them

will answer to me.

- If they're seen as animals...

- But if they're human being?

Then, they are murderers.

Our work is over.

- We must find them first.

- Follow the trail fast.

Madame, We'll go

around the forest.

Come on lads. Let's get

these savages!

Are you following?

I'll be there!

Fine, I have him.

Best leave it to us, Dr. Dodd.

We know what to do.

Damn you!

The dogs are gone at six.

They must be close!

Oh Jesus Christ!

Put your weapons down!

Keep back the dogs!

We can take them in charge!

They killed Douglas!

The attacked Mr. McBride!

It was an accident.

It was nobody fault.

It was a terrible accident.

Take them back to

the police, sir.

- I will kill him!

- Stay there man!

Jamie, stop!

Shut up! Shut up!

Shut up! Shut up!

You did it.

Did what?

In the struggle,

you had the gun.

It went off by accident.

Douglas hit it.

Alexander, what are you saying?

It was a tragic accident.

Manslaughter.

- Are you out of your mind?

- No one will blame you.

But the pygmies

have to be innocent.

You want me to confess

to a crime I didn't commit?

Yes! It was your stupidity

that landed us here.

I might go to prison.

Not for an accident.

The inquest will be a formality.

Just think,

think what's take here.

Please, Fraser,

this is our only solution.

We're losing time.

With these we need some

more of those. A lot of more.

You two!

Go into the fare side.

We're losing time, come on!

You have to surrender the campment

but be on your guard!

You know what happened

to Douglas?

Move aside! No!

No wait! He's worrying of

the evil spirit.

- Tell them to lower the weapons.

- We're taking no chances.

Watch him men!

What are you doing? Tie them up!

They have to be in the forest.

Otherwise they'll die on us.

This is madness!

After last night they know

we're their only protection.

They're not going to run away

not with that mob and dogs out.

Take them back to the mill.

And then you can present two

fresh little corpses! Do it!

Keep watching men.

Nothing means more to me

than our complete success.

Trust me, Alexander.

Stop!

Stay still.

She won't hurt you.

She was looking for the wound.

She took him for Douglas.

She thought she'd killed him.

She is feeling guilty!

- Sentimental nonsense!

- It's worse. It's perverse.

Look at her behavior,

silent, morose...
