The Plague Dogs Page #7

Look.

They've grown huge.

Circling round and round over the hills.

I'll ahead and see how the land lies.

Make sure he doesn't get crazy an' start shoutin'.

We don't need that just now.

He knows what he's doing, that one.

We've never been very good at being wild, have we? - We just started too late.

Doesn't look like it'll much longer now.

We ought to be back in Catterick by this evening.

Oh yes, it looks that way.

I feel sorry for the dogs, don't you Major? - It's this whole damn business.

Well, they have cause a lot of damage.

And eating a dead man's body... - Damn it, that's exactly the point.

They were starving.

They didn't set out to cause all this...

...havoc.

The place is crawlin' with men.

I've never seen anything like it.

That's the fly I've been talking about. It's got out of my head.

They're white-coats.

Todd, can we cross the valley?

Is it safe? - We might get them.

Now, whatever happens, don't stop.

Remember. Keep movin'.

This place is gettin' distinctly overcrowded.

Nothing after all.

This is where we part, me old mates.

I've got a few tricks up me sleeve that ought to surprise 'em,

Now howway, lads! And do as I said.

Straight across the valley, and up the other side.

They'll be too busy with me to bother with you.

Do you think that... - They'll never catch him. Way too crafty.

Get those dogs on leash, Sergeant! - It's a fox, sir.

They've got a bloody fox!

Rowf!

Do you smell something?

It's the sea, Rowf.

Like the Tod said, it's the sea.

Down there. I've spotted them.

Look.

That's the sea, Rowf!

The salt and the weeds.

That's what the Tod said.

It's moving all the time.

And it's nice here too.

There they are.

Let me rest a while.

Wake me when the Tod comes back.

Boycott here.

The undersecretary? Well yes, of course I'll speak to him.

Good afternoon, Sire.

It has been, uh, inconvenient.

I've taken the steps to ensure that it doesn't happen again.

...Suspend work completely, sir?

Couldn't we perhaps...?

No... No, of course not, Minister. I...

I understand completely.

I'm not going back.

They won't take me back! - All clear, Rowf.

Look out there!

It's our island!

Don't you see it?

That's where we have to go.

We can be free.

They're directly in front of you.

Poor little bastards.

Go forward...

...get it over with quickly.

Wait!

Wait for me! - It's a wonderful island, Rowf.

Snitter, wait!

Come on, move it! Move it!

Is it far, Snitter?

Not very far, old Rowf.

I can't see anything in front of us.

I'm getting tired.

Can't seem to move my legs anymore.

Keep going.

Try.

Can't...

...swim anymore, Rowf.

We must be near the island.

There isn't any island, Rowf.

There is.

There.

Can't you see it?

Our island.

Just stay with me.

I'll get you there.

I don't feel no pain no more

I don't feel no pain no more

I've left this cruel world behind

and I've found my peace of mind

I don't feel no pain no more
