Two Brothers Page #2

Synopsis: 1920s Indochina. In the wild, a pair of adult tigers have just had a litter of two male cubs. It is a loving family unit, with the two brothers having a bond through their adventurous spirit. In different incidents, the cubs are captured individually, and although both in captivity live very different lives. Their individual captures were directly or indirectly associated with the work of Aidan McRory, a treasure and big game hunter, whose main goal is to make as much money for himself by selling his largely illegally obtained artifacts and animal parts at auction in Europe. Through the process, he has an emotional connection with one of the cubs, who is eventually named Kumal, but of who he eventually loses track. The cubs' lives are affected negatively by a number of other people who are working solely toward their own end goals, but the other cub, who is eventually named Sangha, also makes an emotional human connection to a young boy named Raoul Normandin, the son of the area admini

You see I really would need someone who speaks English.

We are here. Come on.

Are you all right?

Ah, yes. It's just the swing.

It reminds me of being at sea.

What?

For God's sake, shut him up!

No. He's so happy. He's going hunting.

Bravo!

As Your Excellency's father always said,

One shot one kill.

With you, with Bang! Straight like an arrow.

Straight as your road through the sacred jungle of my ancestors.

Come on.

The beast can't travel very far.

She must be dead by now.

We'll send you this kitten.

I'm sure you will.

Yeah.

You know, if we take him fishing, he would fall overboard.

That sound like Bitsy. Bitsy!

Where is he? Where is Bitsy?

And Raoul? Eugen, where is Raoul?

For God's sake!

Raoul!

Don't be afraid.

Five, four, three, two, one.

Hide you or not, here I come.

Sangha.

I see you Sangha.

"We had to rid the village of that blood-thirsty monster,

And our change came sooner than expected.

We had just set off.

One suddenly, there was a movement in the rock.

With no time to aim, brought the gun to my shoulder and fired.

The bullet struck the man-eater full in the chest and it fell to the feet of my track... Shhh..

The peace rolled over. Instead of being scream,

We stood there silent before the magnificent creature, and then

According to custom, I cut open the chest and give the warm streaming heart to my client...

Good night, Raoul.

Good night, Sangha.

Pleasent dreams, my darlings.

Kumar, Kumar, eat.

He's going to die.

You must eat, Kumar.

This is good meat.

Come on, my boy.

It's no use telling him. Make him eat.

We spent good money on him.

We'd better find the old Chinaman, who stuff that jackal for us.

At that size, it would sell well.

Hello, Ladies and Gentlemen.

What are we waiting for?

The great Zerbino Circus is proud to present to its audience, with the savage killer...

Out there you lazy old lump.

Time to go to work.

Move.

He's an embarrassment for the show.

We should get rid of him.

But who would buy him?

At his age, he's not worth a cent!

Let's go! Move.

Get ready. I give you bloody Caesar.

You are a ferocious beast.

So why try one!

So how are you enjoying your extended stay?

Very much.

I heard you are keeping your ship standing.

Does this mean we can hope you to stay longer in our beautiful colony?

Or if you have plenty to do.

Someone said you were asking about the river region.

Of course, there's wonderful temples there.

But I must warn you.

Sergent Van Tranh is getting very hostile?

I can't be present for him.

I wonder if it would make it easier for you,

if you have some sorts of feature hat to wear.

Special adviser for hunting.

How does it sound?

Rather long.

What might that involve, do you think?

Nothing much.

You could organize the tiger hunt whenever I have important visitors.

Very kind of you.

How on earth can I thank you this time?

I need the skin of the tigers.

His Excellency would be very difficult to buy the road again.

It's because he lost faith during the hunt.

And how do you suppose we present him the skin when the live tiger is still inside it.

You are the hunter. Figure it out.

I have an appointment with His Excellency next Tuesday.

I can't go empty handed. I'll lose my road.

Don't be ridiculous. That's impossible.

Oh, You can do it.

Otherwise, I may not be able to restrain Sergeant.

He says you have acquired an accomplice. Some local.

You rang, Madame.

Sangha!

Hello?

Hey, I know you.

So this is where they brought you, uh?

Well, it's not so bad.

At least you got company.

Don't you look at me like that.

What was I supposed to do with you?

I couldn't have left you out there, could I?

You never learned to hunt. You would starve to death.

It's a pity to get eaten right away.

You get a long memory. I know what you want.

Ah, ah, ah!

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Even at that age, they can take your finger off.

Tell me, Have you kept the skins of your animals after they are dead.

Sometime.

Wouldn't have had a tiger hide by any chance?

We can get you a tiger skin.

Good. Can I see it?

When do you need it?

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Then you can see it tomorrow. 1000 Piasters. Payable in advance.

I don't want it finished in gold leaves.

That's the price. It's up to you.

Do you want the skin or not?

If you do, 1000 Piasters. If you don't, get lost.

All right. Spend some on this little one, won't you?

Eating well.

Happens to be a friend of mine.

Hey, come on.

What do you cry about? You've been promoted.

You shouldn't be sad.

You were right not to leave that little tiger in the jungle.

It would have grown up to a man-eater.

I suppose.

You are a hunter.

You protect people from wild animals.

You're supposed to kill them, not to pity them.

It's exactly what I used to think.

For me, hunting is a novel occupation.

Well, I think it's also a novel occupation to share treasures to countries

where people don't know anything about them.

Wouldn't you agree?

My father agrees, if you give him money.

Nobody sees the statues here. You just left them decay in the jungle.

The jungle is their home. This is where they live.

So is where tigers lives, but you don't mind hunting them.

Do you remember the young man who give you this?

The one who lost his leg to a tiger?

He's my brother.

May I please, Your Excellency,

But your father always prefers to show the death wound in the photograph.

I am not my father.

So, where is the hole?

Here. Isn't that amazing?

Absolutely amazing. And very meticulous on their part.

Unfortunately the animal I shot was hit in the other ear.

So gentlemen, the sacred statues will no longer need to leave their temples

and migrate to Paris.

Why? Because Paris....

Would you mind holding it?

Sangha. Bitsy.

Help.

I want him out of my house.

But mom, he's mine.

Get him out of here.

Don't sell him!

Mom, I need him.

Stop.

No!

Sangha!

Don't go!

He has a taste for blood now. We can't keep him.

Raoul, calm down.

Ok, it's over.

Sangha!

I am in charge of the Palace.

It's a gift for His Excellency, in the name of France.

Come.

Is he really a savager as the Administrator said?

You would ask if you see what he did to that dog. He almost killed him.

Excellent! It will fit in well with our collection.

Come! Come on, big boy! Come on!

Come on, Kumar. You can do it.

It's easy. You won't be hurt.

You will go right through it. You will be all right. You will see.

Just jump.

One little jump.

Kumar, trust me.

Come on. Jump!

Jump!

I say jump, not beg. You stupid animal! Come on.

It's time to try something different.

How dare you!

Back, back.

Come on everybody. Everybody in here.

Use the rope to bind him.

Now we are going to teach you some manners.

Now you jump.

Go.

See. That wasn't so hard. That's how you break a tiger.

Is this tiger really ferocious?

Why don't you test it if you have a spare arm or leg?

Here's the key to his case.

My master is mounting a festival.

It is to be organized exactly as it was in the time of his late father.
