The Island of Dr. Moreau Page #2

that you might have

totally lost your mind?

I mean. This is just satanic.

"Judge not.

That ye be not judged.

"For by these judgments

shall ye also be judged.

"And let he who hath not sinned

cast the first stone. "

"'There is no peace. ' saith

the Lord. 'unto the wicked. "'

I think perhaps this is

not the time to continue.

We'll have dinner at 8.

I hope that you'll be

in another state of mind...

and be more receptive.

"Somewhere

in sands of the desert...

"a lion body and head of man...

"is moving its slow thighs.

"The darkness drops again.

"But now I know that

"were vexed to a nightmare

by a rocking cradle.

"And what rough beast.

Its hour come round at last.

"Slouches towards Bethlehem

to be born?"

M'Ling. That was just beautiful.

Thank you so much.

Let's toast.

To your health.

Well. Mr. Douglas.

Very good of you to join us.

Please tell me.

Is the Devil still pursuing you?

What do you mean by the Devil?

You seem to be

on terms with him.

Permit me to tell you

something of the Devil...

as I've come to know him.

The Devil is that element

in human nature...

that makes you

destroy and debase.

What are you about

on this island...

but destruction and debasement?

Well. I could tell you

very plainly.

No. Please don't do that.

No. No.

For 17 years.

I have been striving...

to create some measure

of refinement...

in the human species.

You see.

And it is here.

On this very island.

That I. Sir. Have found

the very essence of the Devil.

What do you mean?

I have seen the Devil

in my microscope.

And I have chained him.

I suppose you could say.

In the sense

metaphorically speaking.

I've cut him to pieces.

The Devil. Mr. Douglas.

I have found...

is nothing more than

a tiresome collection of genes.

It is with great assurance

that I can tell you...

that Lucifer...

son of morning...

is no more.

I don't see how

any of this specious nonsense...

justifies

these monstrous disfigurements.

Very simply. They represent

a stage in the process...

of eradicating

destructive elements...

found in the human psyche.

And I have almost

achieved perfection. You see.

Of a divine creature

that is pure. Harmonious.

Absolutely incapable of malice.

If in my tinkering...

I have fallen short

of the human form...

by the odd snout. Claw. Or hoof.

It really is of no great import.

I am closer than you could

possibly imagine. Sir.

What's that?

Rabbit fricassee. Master.

Stop that! Oh. God.

Get this out of my sight!

Azazello.

Who's responsible for this?

Mr. Montgomery requested it.

Oh. Go to the kitchen.

Leave.

All of you. Go wash your hands.

Mr. Montgomery considers this

a source of amusement...

I suppose.

No one saw me kill it...

except you.

Well.

I have no way of knowing.

What do you mean?

We saw one in the forest

with its head torn off.

And who was responsible

for that?

It was Lo-Mai.

Good God.

You bloody fool.

I want everyone outside

in the compound tomorrow.

And. Mr. Douglas.

Perhaps we can entertain you...

a little more

than you anticipated.

We'll have a trial tomorrow.

Not to kill for pleasure.

Not to kill for hatred.

Not to kill anything. Anytime.

That is the law.

That law has been broken.

None escape. None escape.

None shall escape.

Who is he?

Who has done this?

Evil is he who breaks the law.

Do you hear. Lo-Mai?

Do you hear?

Lo-Mai.

I forgive you. My son.

Father.

Lo-Mai has broken the law.

He killed a living thing.

Oh. My God!

What have you done?

I am sorry. Father.

Didn't you want me to

protect the law?

Where did you get this gun?

The law is not to kill.

For any reason.

See that his body is shown

all manner of respect.

Yes. Master.

I saw little of Moreau

as the crisis broke.

He was always

in the laboratory...

working to pursue his dream

to create a perfect human race.

Nothing was said

of my attempted escape.

Montgomery. Who had once been

a brilliant neurosurgeon.

Was reduced to being

the beast people's jailer.

And now

he had become mine. Too.

It's turned

completely yellow.

It's almost opaque. See?

Jesus!

Nothing.

So. We'll simply

have to increase the dosage.

Would you get

the inoculation gun. M'Ling?

You bore me.

Go. Go.

Good girl. Good girl.

Hi. Sweetie.

What are you

giving them exactly?

It's a combination

of endorphins and hormones.

Keeps them from retrogressing.

Retrogressing into what?

Well. It isn't pretty.

It seems

to improve their mood.

That's my contribution.

I add a little methamphetamine.

Morphine.

'Shrooms and other sh*t.

Keeps them mellow...

keeps them

coming back for more.

It hasn't brought him back.

- What?

- There.

Come! Come!

It's okay.

Come get your shot.

Come on.

Hyena.

Hyena.

Look at my hands.

Look. Okay? It's okay.

We won't hurt you.

That's right. That's right.

Come on.

Hyena. Come.

That's right. Come on.

What's th... What?

Pain...

no more.

What?

What are you doing?!

What's going on?

- Christ. He pulled it out.

- What?

He pulled out his implant.

They have implants so we

can shock them into submission.

We must find him.

Dart him. And get him

back to the compound.

A hunt. Master. Hunt.

Yeah. Hunt.

Azazello likes a good hunt.

Get him! Get him!

This is bio station Helix.

Calling on all channels.

Is anybody receiving me?

Are you sure

you know how to use this?

Yes. I make many calls

for the doctor.

I read the books and learn.

I make it work.

Not without this you don't.

Fetch.

Who do you think you'll call?

What'll you say when you get

somebody on the horn?

"Mayday. Mayday. I'm being held

captive by a pig lady"?

You'll sell Aissa to the circus?

You know. She's not like... us.

She's very delicate.

They all are.

But she needs her shots. Too.

And she's not going to get them

off this island.

There's so much

you don't understand.

Why don't you smoke this?

Maybe you'll start.

There's no way off the island.

You must face the fact.

Why was I brought here?

I was brought here. Wasn't I?

I can't find the Hyena-Swine.

I think we should. Before

the others get the same idea.

Oh. My word.

You startled me.

How are you?

How are you?

I think I'm just simply going

to perish from this heat.

I cannot bear it.

The longer that I'm here.

The worse it gets.

And I... I mean.

This damn Montgomery...

won't fix anything.

And I... I'm dying of heat.

I think that... yes.

My caloric converter is empty.

Would you fill it. Please?

Yes. That's much better.

God. Yes. Oh. Yes. God!

Oh. Please.

Forcefully. Forcefully.

My God!

Not so strong!

You have no idea

how strong you can be.

You must be very careful.

Father. I must talk to you.

Of course.

What?

I'm changing.

There's nothing

to be frightened of. Darling.

Now. Let me see.

Yes. There are a few changes.

Let me have a look.

Your ears are developing.

I'm hideous.

No. Darling. How can you

say that?

You're an absolute angel.

You're beautiful inside.

You're beautiful outside.

You're
