Man to Man Page #4

I've no objections. Would you

arrange a visit, Mr. Beckinsale?

We have requests from all over

Europe to exhibit them.

It seems everyone wants to get

a glimpse of primitive life.

Thanks to my brother

and my husband.

They're the people who

started all this craze...

You forget Dr. Dodd. I hear

he hasn't been well.

Is someone able to give me

some encouraging news?

The illness afflicting Dr. Dodd

has no remedy.

I don't think anyone can do

anything to help him.

Poor Jamie.

No need to worry Dr. Dodd.

The fever is gone.

I think you can go home now.

Likola!

Toko!

Toko it's me Jamie.

It's Jamie!

Toko gone.

Toko dead.

Toko dead!

Why are they not eating? Why

are they so tired, so inactive?

They're no use to me like this.

What's happened?

It's a good question.

I find it astonishing that

you're able to study them.

I assure you they were amenable.

We had none of these problems.

Toko... do what I do.

Madame,

good day gentlemen.

Zackary? There'll be

no show today.

I'm most grateful to you,

Doctor. Best of luck.

They haven't eaten

for four days.

Well done, good.

I'm proud of you...

Eat.

Eat Toko.

Toko you must eat!

Likola... two.

Baby...

Bay-bee.

Sha'dop.

Bay-bee. Sha'dop.

The behavior of the pygmies

has cast some doubt.

There is no even more urgency

to verify their findings or not.

I can't just turn anthropologists

just the way they are.

They've paid good money.

Get her to do it then.

She's hiring out these

"African circus artists".

Get her to say the contract

is invalid.

I forbid any visit which would

only weaken the pygmies further.

They need just one doctor.

I shall stay close to them.

Let's concede with great

reluctance...

that you are able to get them

fit and well again. Then what?

You're about to witness for

the first time in Europe...

the real nature of savage life

in the jungles of Africa.

Likola! Make fire!

Toko! Go hunting!

Likola, more fire!

Toko, more hunting!

What is he playing at?

Don't frighten them!

Does she know to use it?

Yes, my God, she does!

We must stop her!

Intolerable! Outrageous!

Sha'dop! Sha'dop!

Let's get out of here.

Very funny...

Thank you.

Some people say you're mad,

some say you're a genius.

Alexander says you've

"trained" them. Is it true?

- I didn't "train" them.

- And your power over them?

It's not power either.

Mr. Purvis you comprehend...

what I'm saying to you,

but I have no power over you.

It's the same with them.

We understand each other.

They're just like you and me.

Fray-ser.

She must be pregnant.

It's uncanny how the baboons

can sense a pregnancy.

- Are you absolutely sure?

- It's not cast-iron proof...

If we could have a fetus from

the female, it's perfect...

and this is ideal. We don't

need them anymore.

They are going to be dragged

across Europe on public display.

If we could abort this fetus,

we can establish far more...

about differences from an embryo

than from a living creature.

We're talking about her child!

We're talking about an embryo

from a scientific specimen.

We need to remove the doubt

that's creeping in.

This is what will

clinch it for us.

This is what will

make our names...

Don't look!

You can turn around.

Talk of the town.

Dr. Dodd! Are you quite well?

A smile on your face?

This party mustn't turn

into a grotesque funfair.

It won't. It's very good of

of Sir Walter to arrange this.

How much will you be make out

of it? Madame Van den Ende...

Same as you three. We agreed.

Half for me half for you.

Everyone would be there.

Important people, wealthy...

If you don't stand up for what

you believe in, who will?

We are allies now.

I hope you don't find the

association too painful.

The most important reason for

vitiation, 11:
31: 59: 14, 11: 32: 04: 10, was the

are genuinely your guests...

then that must mean

they are genuinely free.

And that freedom

is not merely symbolic.

I'm very happy to announce,

thanks to your kindness...

and the extraordinary

generosity of our host...

neither Toko or Likola will

be returning to the zoo.

They are truly free now.

- Free to return to their land.

- Or free to remain here.

We are happy to offer

our hospitality.

Thank you.

One thing I'd ask of you all.

Do not look at your guests

as strange and exotic beings.

Treat them as you would

your friends.

You'll be surprised

by the response.

Mister Walter,

may I introduce... Likola.

Welcome Likola.

- And Toko.

- Welcome Toko.

Welcome!

Tell her your name first.

- Andrew.

- Likola.

Hello, Toko.

Welcome to Edinburgh.

Very eloquent, Doctor Dodd.

They loved it.

You deserve it.

I know you suffered a lot but

I've to take the pygmies...

back to the zoo. They are

legally still in my employ.

Duck, fish, fruits, lot of

fruits. You must try them.

Your rooms are down here.

Are we sure we can trust your

savages not to murder us in bed?

Absolutely. I don't know

how to thank you, sir.

Don't thank me. It was

your colleague's idea.

- Madame van den Ende?

- No. Fraser MacBride.

Excuse me!

Toko!

Gently, gently.

Let no one in.

Come along there!

No time to waste!

How do you know that they

have taken her to Museum?

It's Alexander's base there.

It's safe and all

very scientific!

They must know she's pregnant.

That's why they thought up party.

To kidnap her.

I'd like to believe you had

nothing to do with this!

How dare you even suggesting

such a thing? I had no idea!

I'm on your side.

She's ready.

Would you just confirm the

actual state of the patient?

Fray-ser...

Sha'dop.

Well, is she?

I can't be sure.

For God's sake!

Professor!

- Open the gate now!

- They have not to be disturbed.

I demand to see

the professors.

Have you any idea who I am?

Well then open the door before

we waste any more time.

She's definitely pregnant.

We chloroform.

Get out of my way.

This is inhuman,

we can't do this.

We have to start.

Jesus Christ!

What in God's name

do you think you're doing?

Move!

You have no right to be

here. You're trespassing.

How dare you talk to us

about breaking the laws?

The law does not apply to

sub human, primitive beings.

The study of the embryo

is crucial!

Don't touch her! The child

she's carrying is maybe mine!

You must be stark!

You'll see when the child

is born.

No, get out! Get out!

- I won't forget this.

- I hope not.

By God, you'll pay for it.

You're not really saying that you

fornicated with this Negress?

Yes I am.

I did.

Good God!

Why don't you buy me

a drink, darling?

What disease are you proposing

to give me tonight?

Anything you fancy, sweetheart.

Someone is in a hurry!

It's him! Get him!

There he is!

Careful. There is

no way out down there.

Toko! Please, he belongs to me.

I know what to do!

He must be on the boat!

Toko gone. Toko dead.

Are you going to tell them?

Tell them what?

That you are not

the father of the child.

I can't. It's the only thing

that protect us.

A pygmy child counts for nothing
