Ok,
channels here on the chart. All right.
And so are the marking lights
then? What's wrong with them?
Those lights don't seem to be in just the right place.
They're both a bit out of position.
According to this two light boys, mean a safe channel between the world over,
safe between the world over doesn't go in these waters.
Look here,
you'll see the water shoals on the island side
while the deep soundings run to the mainland.
Have any of you seen the captain today? No, he wasn't down for dinner.
No, and he wasn't down for lunch.
He hasn't left the bridge since you decided to come through the channel.
What are you driving at
ever since you gave him those orders yesterday to cut through these waters?
He's had the jitters.
There's something wrong that,
you know, I'm getting nerves myself.
Doc, what do you recommend for nerves? Give him a shot of scotch.
Give him the whole bottle. No, I've got nerves too. Here. You are doc
just what you need.
Well,
maybe you're right.
Good evening captain. Good evening, sir.
May I speak with you?
Oh, certainly.
Go ahead.
We're heading straight for the channel between Ran Island and the mainland.
Good.
But the lights are just a bit off according to the chart.
But charts are never up to date in this part of the Pacific. You know that I know, sir.
But
doesn't Bran Island mean anything to you?
Well, not a lot.
Well, perhaps if I could talk with Mr Rainsford, but Bob's not a sailor.
He's a hunter. He's made many of these trips. He's young, but he has judgment.
I'll call him.
Oh, Bob
Bob,
what is it
come up here? Will you?
Just a minute?
What's bothering you, captain?
There are no more coral reef shark infested waters in the whole world than these
o
just take a look at these.
You didn't turn out so hot as a hunter doc. But oh, what a photographer
say, if we'd had you to take pictures on the Sumatran trip,
they might have believed my book.
If you'd have had me on the Sumatran trip, you'd never had me on this one.
Say, here's the swelling of the ship skipper.
What's the matter?
These old sea dogs tell yarns to kid each
other and end up believing it all themselves.
So,
I think that Mr Rainford should know that the channel
lights aren't just in the position given on the chart.
Wow. What do you think fellas? I think we should turn back and take the outside.
Course,
we'll go ahead
very well, sir.
It's your ship.
It was the schooner Hesperus and she sailed the wintry sea.
Now, wait a minute, fellas, let's talk this over.
There's no use taking any chances, chances.
That's fine talk coming from a fellow who
just got through slapping tigers in the face
here. Get a knife out of this
and he talks about taking chances.
Here's the doc charging the enemy with an unloaded camera.
Get the expression on doc's face. Bill. He looks more frightened than the tiger.
He is
just what you have on your mind. Doc,
I'll tell you what I had on my mind.
I was thinking of the inconsistency of civilization.
The beast of the jungle killing just for his existence is called savage.
The man
killing just for sport is called civilized. Yeah,
it's a bit contradictory, isn't it? Now? Just a minute.
What makes you think it isn't just as much sport for the animal as it is for the man?
I'll take that fellow right there. For instance,
there never was a time when he couldn't have gotten away,
but he didn't want to,
he got interested in hunting me.
He didn't hate me for stalking him any more than I hated him for trying to charge me.
As a matter of fact, we admired each other perhaps.
But would you change places with the tiger?
Well,
not now.
Mm mm. Here comes that bad luck lady again.
Third time tonight.
Yeah. Let me shuffle them. Wait a minute. Don't evade the issue.
I asked you a question. Yes, you did. I forgot. No, no, you didn't.
I asked you if there'd be as much sport in the
game if you were the tiger instead of the hunter.
Well, that's something I'll ever have to decide.
Listen, here you fellas,
this world is divided into two kinds of people. The hunter and the hunted.
Luckily I'm a hunter.
Nothing can ever change that.
Hello down there? Hello. Engine
room.
Look
down
those piling,
the water ever hits those hot boiler.
But that's
right.
No, you,
no,
you,
where are the others?
See anybody?
Nobody left for us to
and that f
oh
hell
look.
So
you got
me.
Yeah.
Right.
Um
Yeah.
Who? Anybody here?
Anybody around I say,
oh, hello?
Is this your house?
I'm not trying to break in, but I've been in a wreck.
Our yacht just sunk with all hands.
I got ashore and found your place here by accident.
I'm not trying to intrude, but I'm in sort of a jam.
Don't you understand any English?
Ivan does not speak any language. He has the misfortune to be done.
Oh, hello.
Are you the owner here?
Yes.
Welcome to my poor fortress
fortress. It once was built by the Portuguese centuries ago.
I have had the ruins restored to make my home here.
I am count
Zaroff. My name is Robert Rainsford.
Glad to meet you.
Very glad.
Yeah, Ivan
is a Cossack. I am afraid like all my fellow countrymen. He is a bit of a savage
smile. Van
Holy. N
I was trying to make him understand. There'd been a shipwreck in the channel
short was me.
But how appalling
and you might say that you were the only survivor
I'm afraid I am.
You're settin,
I'd never left the spot if I hadn't been
the swellest crowd on earth.
My best friends,
it's incredible. Such things are always incredible.
Death is for others, not for ourselves.
That is how most of my other guests have felt.
Your other guests?
You mean this has happened before? My dear fellow.
We have several survivors from the last wreck still in the house.
It would seem that this island were cursed.
That's just what the captain said.
Only he thought it was uninhabited. We cossacks find our inspiration in solitude.
Well, it's a break for me. Anyway, my house is yourself. Oh,
by the way, you want to change those wet rags immediately. Yes,
they look about the way I feel.
Yes,
I have some loose hunting clothes which I keep
for my guests that you can possibly get into.
Ov I
cry
you
como
Ivan will show you to your room. Thank you.
You will find a stiff drink there also.
Thanks a lot.
Roso.
All pleasure is mine.
Come in,
ready. Raise
one, all set.
I afraid we have finished dinner,
but I have ordered something for you. Thanks. I don't feel like eating.
Oh, dear, dear.
Well, perhaps later.
Now, then, what do you say to coffee
and most charming company?
It is hard to forget your comrade's fate. I know,
but our feminine guest is easily perturbed
if I could beg you to put a good face up on the matter.
Uh, assume a cheerfulness, you may not feel sure. Of course. Thank you,
Miss
Trubridge. May I present Mr Robert Rainsford, Miss Eve Trb.
How'd you do?
How do you do? And her brother Mr Martin Trubridge? All right, old chap.
Pretty well shaken up, I guess. Coming out of it now. Thanks.
We know just how it feels, don't we? Indeed, we do.
Perhaps Mr Rainsford would like some hot coffee.
Oh, yes, of course, Mr Rainsford. Please sit here. Thank you, Diego.
Two coffee, vodka,
vodka. That's your stuff. One shot will dry out quicker than all our coffee and Java
have to toss it off though like this.
Now, Martin, you don't have to drink it all tonight. Do you don't be ridiculous? Sis,
we are victims of circumstance, same as Mr Rainsford.
And if anyone has a right to his liquor, it's a victim of circumstance.
Isn't that? So,
of course, you, you were in a shipwreck too. I understand. Yes.
Our lifeboat was the only one sailed. My brother and I and two sailors.
The count found us on the beach with nothing but the clothes on our backs.
Those channel lights must have been shifted.
I wonder it hasn't been reported.
Well, we will report them just as soon as we get back to the mailing.
You see, the count has only one launch
and that's
under repair.
Russians are not the best mechanics.
I'm afraid we'll have to be patient a few days longer.
That's all right with me. I feel as if I were living on borrowed time right now.
Uh, speaking of that,
perhaps now you'll tell us a little bit about who you are just sketchy.
You know, born married, why I left my last job. No, no, no, no one moment, please.
Mr Rainsford need never explain who he is in my house. No,
no, we entertain a celebrity, Miss Trubridge. Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Don't tell me. Let me guess.
I know flagpoles sit.
I know he wrote some books. No, he lived some books if I am not mistaken.
This is Mr Robert Rainsford who hunts big game so adventurously.
Yes,
I've logged the gun around a little. I lugged the gun around a little.
No, I have read your books. I read all books on hunting
puppy. Rosso.
Thank you.
Only in yours. Have I found a sane point of view? What do you mean? Sane?
C? Good.
Yeah, thanks.
You do not excuse what needs no excuse. And at M BC, how did you put it?
Hunting is as much a game as stud poker. Only the limits are higher.
You have put our case perfectly. Mr Rainsford.
Well, then you're a hunter yourself. We are kindred spirits.
It is my one passion.
He sleeps all day and hunts all night and what's more Rainford?
He'll have you doing the same thing?
We'll have capital sport together. I hope.
Don't encourage him.
You know, he's had our two sailors so busy chasing around the woods after flora and
Fana
that we haven't seen him for three days.
But what do you hunt here?
I'll tell you,
you will be amused. I know
I have done a rare thing.
I have invented a new sensation.
Yeah. And is he stingy with it?
What is this sensation? Carl Mr Rainsford.
God made some main poets.
Some, he made kings, some beggars
me. He made a hunter.
My hand was made for the trigger. My father told me
he was a very rich man with a quarter of
a million acres in the Crimea and an ardent sportsman.
When I was only steered up high, he gave me my first gun. Good for him.
My life has been one glorious hunt.
It would be impossible for me to tell you how many animals I have killed.
But when the revolution played up to the car
which
stopped.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Count Zara was so interesting. I didn't realize the danger.
Oh, it's all right. Now, what were you saying about the revolution? Count?
Oh, merely that I escaped with most of my fortune.
Naturally. I continued to hunt
all over the world.
It was in Africa that the Cape Buffalo gave me this, that must have been a close call.
It still bothers me sometimes.
However, in, uh, in two months I was on my way to the Amazon.
I'd heard that the jaguars there were unusually cunning.
No, no, no,
no sport at all.
Well, conditions are bad everywhere these days.
One night as I lay in my tent with this,
this head of mine,
a terrible thought crept like a snake into my brain.
Hunting was beginning to bore me.
Is that such a terrible thought? Carl,
you choose my dear lady when hunting has been the whip for all other passions.
When I lost my love of hunting,
I lost my love of life
of love.
Well, you seem to have stood pretty well.
I even tried to sink myself to the level of the savage.
I made myself perfect in the use of the tartar
WBO.
I was
ta
t
warble
that one up there.
That's cute.
Even to this day I prefer to hunt with it. But alas even that was too deadly.
What I needed was not a new weapon
but a new animal, a
new animal.
Exactly. So
you found one?
Yes,
here on my island.
I had the most dangerous game.
The most dangerous game.
You mean tigers? Tigers? No,
the tiger has nothing but his claws and his fangs.
I heard some queer beast howling back there along the water
was that it,
it's not your friends, but
he won't tell.
He won't even let you see his trophy room
till he gets ready to take you on the hunt
of a great whats it?
My one secret.
I keep it as a surprise for my guests
against the rainy day of boredom.
Listen, boy,
you let me in on that game and I'll bet you, I go for it,
you know,
remand. He hasn't failed yet.
If he says the thing is good,
it is good.
He's a judge of wicker
wit at the contract. Plays the piano. Anything you want.
He's a good host
and a good scout I can.
Yes. Yes.
You want me to go hunting? All right, you just say the word. We're pals.
We'll have a big party. You get cocky
and to go hunting a completely civilized point of view.
Listen, I'll tell what you do.
You come to my place and you had to run
a sometimes. See,
we'll have a private car,
liquor and gals on the trip and the guides will make the deers behave.
I
think we better change the subject.
Alright.
Change into something.
Oh, I know. Play the piano
if you wish.
Good idea, play the piano and leave it to me and I'll fix everything.
Perhaps the count doesn't want to play.
Now, there you go. It says dry, cold water. Now, leave me alone.
I know where the piano is. I'm perfectly sober.
A charming simplicity,
completely civilized. Did you say he talks of wan and women as a prelude to the hunt?
We bar the or
know that it is after the chase and then only that
man revels and does seem a bit like cocktails before.
But of course, yes. You know the saying of the old Gandhi chieftains
hunt first the enemy. Then the woman,
that's the savages idea everywhere. It is the natural instinct.
What is woman
even such a woman as this?
Until the blood is quickened by the
Cale?
Oh, I don't know. Oh, I don't know.
You Americans.
One passion builds upon another
kill.
Then love
when you have no, that
you will have no ecstasy.
Oh, Martin
introducing
Zaroff the keyboard king in his branch Island hour.
Come on count. Now you're shown. What do you suggest?
Uh, just a good tune but not highbrow like last night. Just a good tune. See, I see.
Always hunting dogs.
Keep your voice low and listen.
It isn't true about the launch needing repairs.
I had to leave the boat house last night.
It returned this morning.
You mean he's keeping you from returning to the mainland? Yes.
Well, perhaps he enjoys the company of two very charming people. Two, maybe
there were four of us a week ago.
The other two have disappeared.
What do you mean?
One night after dinner? The count took one of our sailors down to see his trophy
at the foot of those stone steps
that I adore.
Two nights later he took the other. There,
neither has been seen since.
Have you asked him about them?
He says they've gone hunting. Well,
be careful.
He's watching it.
Will you smile as if I'd said something funny.
Oh,
now, look, here, you must be mistaken if this
apply.
Ah, boy.
Ah, boy,
thank you. What did I tell you? I smacked the main ivory.
It was splendid. Don't stop, please.
Now, I'm afraid we have failed to hold the full attention of our audience.
Well, I, I
expect it's rather difficult for Mr Rainsford to
concentrate on anything after all he's been through.
Oh, my dear lady. You are pleading for yourself.
I can see the drooping of those lovely eyes.
Excuse me,
Robert De
on,
you know, the cult's worse than a family governess every night.
He sends us off to bed like naughty Children. Oh, no, my dear. No,
charming Children.
Hey,
you hear that sis,
I'll try along upstairs and don't bother us grown ups anymore.
Well, after that, I guess,
I guess I'll have to go. Good night, Mr Rainsford. Good night.
We'll be seeing each other at breakfast.
Good night. Good night. Good night sis. We won't be seeing each other at breakfast.
Oh, my dear Rainsford. I have been most inconsiderate.
You must be feeding the need of sleep too.
Yes, I am just about all in. Then. Ivan will show you to your room.
Do you come the door?
Well, Martin
turn in early, please.
Don't worry,
your car will take care of me. All right.
Be
eye shadow.
Well, good night.
Good night, sir.
Sleep. Well,
yeah.
Oh,
well,
here's long life, a long life.
Tell me Mr
Troubridge.
Are you all so fatigued? Tired? Me,
you know, I'm not,
you know, Rainsford.
We two are just alike
up all night and sleep all day.
Well, good night.
Well,
what are we gonna do? Huh?
What's the big idea?
I thought that perhaps tonight
you would like to see my trophy room,
your trophy room.
I'm sure you will find it most
interesting.
Say that's a great idea
now. Pals. No more secrets now, huh? We'll make a night of it. I hope so. Mr Trover.
It's just you and I pals. We'll have fun together. Precisely. Yes.
Fun together. Ah, boy, Connie. Oh, boy. Oh, boy, Connie.
Um,
he didn't come in,
I'm sorry to disturb you. But
I'm very,
what was it? Those dogs? My brother,
I've been listening for hours for him to come upstairs.
I've just gone to his room.
He isn't there.
Well, he's probably somewhere with a comb.
That's just what I'm afraid of.
Cal
Zara is planning something
about my brother and me.
You don't really think anything's happened to your brother? I don't know.
But we've got to find him.
Won't you help me?
Well, of course, I'll help you.
Where do you think he's gone.
Where did the others go?
The iron door?
I'll meet you downstairs in five minutes.
Thank you.
That's queer. It's unlocked.
Po
he's coming down
back here quick.
I like
you.
Yo,
Nasa
Mio.
Where's my brother?
You killed him?
You
killed my brother.
This
thing is,
who are you?
What
we give
you
the
come, come my dear Rainsford.
I don't want to treat you like my other guests.
You and I, we are hunters.
So that's your most dangerous game.
My dear fellow. I intended to tell you last night.
But you know, Miss Miss Strawberry,
you hunted him like an animal.
Yeah, I, I know what you think, but you are wrong.
He was sober and fit for sport when I sent him out
an hour or two strapped up in here, brought him into his sense. Raving me.
Yes. Yes. Yes, I'll take it off
when we finish. The stupid fellow tried to escape through the swamps of fog hollow.
You see, when I first began stocking my island,
many of my guests thought I was joking.
So I established this trophy room.
I always bring them here before the hunt
an hour with my trophies
and they usually do their best to keep away from me. Where do you get?
These poor devils
Providence provided my island with dangerous reefs.
But there are like boys to mark the safe channel.
They do not always mark it.
You shifted them precisely right. Too bad. Your yacht should have suffered,
but at least it brought us together.
You take half drowned men from ships. You've wrecked
and drive them out to be hunted.
I give them every consideration,
good food, exercise,
everything to get them in splendid shape to be shut down in cold blood. Oh, no, no, no.
Oh, I admit with this annoying fellow
which usually I give them, uh, a hunting clothes,
a woodsman's knife and a full day start why I even wait
until midnight to give them a full advantage of the dark.
And if one eludes me only till sunrise, he wins the game.
Suppose he refuses to be hunted.
Ivan is such an artist with these
invariably, Mr Rings. Ford, invariably they choose to hunt
and when they win
to date, I have not lost
or Rainsford, you'll find this game worth playing
when the next ship arrives. We'll have gorgeous sport together. You murdering rat.
I'm a hunter,
not an assassin. Come Rainsford
say you will hunt with me,
hunt man.
Say you all hunt with me.
No.
What do you think? I am
one. I fear who dare not follow his own convictions to their logical conclusion.
I'm afraid in this instance, Mr Rainsford,
you may have to follow them.
What do you mean?
I shall not wait for the next ship.
Four o'clock,
the sun is just rising.
That's tech. Nicky.
Nicky.
Come Mr Rainsford.
Let us not waste time.
Yvonne,
***,
your fangs and claws. Mr Rainsford,
Ivan.
Oh,
well, what are they going to do?
I'm going to be hunted. No, no, no miss to
outdoor chess.
His brain against mine, his good craft against mine.
And the p
surprise
you made a call. What I said last evening?
Only after the kill
does man know the true ecstasy of love.
Suppose you lose.
If I do not,
what shall I say? Find you
between
midnight and sunrise tomorrow.
Freedom for both of you. I'm going with you. No,
he'll kill you too. Not at all. One does not kill the female animal.
If you lose, I can easily capture her alive.
All right,
I'll take her with me. Then
we'll set up a trail. He'll remember.
It's only fair to advise you against fog hollow
outdoor chess. Mr Rains.
Mhm.
I'll lose your nerve.
We beat this thing.
The others didn't, we will
come on. Let's get going.
It seems as though we've come my
house.
Yeah.
Well, three hours doesn't take you far in this jungle.
Come on. Let's keep going.
Come on.
Just a little more of this.
An easy downhill going
soon. Be safe.
No wonder he was so sure.
This island is no bigger than a deer park.
Come on. Now,
what are we going to do?
We didn't need to live through a shipwreck. I let this crazy man on our warriors.
I shouldn't have come with you.
You might be him if you were alone,
alone
and leave you here with that savage.
Not a chance.
Now, we've got to think of something to worry him.
Oh, you'd never get near him. It's sure on sight.
Weapons aren't everything in the jungle
say.
Did you notice that leaning tree down there?
The one we just passed. Yes.
Come on. I want to show you something.
You see
if that supporting branch were cut away,
this fallen tree would make a perfect melee deadfall. A melee deadfall. Good that a
man killing contraptions. The native shoes.
Stop that madman. All right.
The trouble is, it takes quite a few hours to build.
He said he wouldn't follow until midnight. That's right.
If you help me, I think we'll have time.
Come on, we'll cut some strong vine
there
almost ready.
The bracelet of yours makes a fine guide ring for my necktie.
He'd have been on his way almost an hour. Now.
Don't touch that trip line. You'll have a two ton tree down on your back.
Jungle woods as heavy as iron will it really work?
I've never known a living thing to get by one yet.
Look here
you touch that trip line.
We pull that trigger free.
Once that's loose, there's nothing to keep the log from coming down.
It'll crash down and kill anything underneath it.
Ok?
We're ready.
Let him come
that night.
Come out rain,
hot.
Fight for longings.
I will not bungle this shop.
You will never even feed it.
But surely you don't think that anyone who has hunted leopards
would follow you into that ambush.
Oh, very well.
If you choose to play the leopard,
I shall hunt you like a leopard.
Wait,
I need to train
e
why did it go?
He's playing with us
like a cat with a mouse.
What do you mean?
You heard him say he'd hunt us as he'd hunt a leopard?
It means he's gone for his high powered rifle. His rifle.
Oh, Bob. We must get away from you.
He waits.
No, I tell you. No,
don't stop.
No, wait,
that's for call
here.
The swamp where he caught the others.
We haven't a chance of keeping Evan there
but there's nothing
else to, that's just what he's counting on. We
got two hours till dawn.
We've got to use our brains instead of our legs and he'll have his rifle
and we'll have a man trap. Look,
it makes me drink.
How was this over
Vanessa's
Zarrow
falls down there. You'll be all through hunting quick. Gather some leaves of grass.
I'll cut some branch.
Yeah,
you
mm
A
very good rains
but
very good.
You have not won yet.
Look at your watch.
Are you looking at
it?
Still helping our job,
right? Swamp or no swamp? We can keep ahead of him that long
as you are doubtless saying the odds are against me.
You have made my rifle useless in a fog.
You cannot blame me. Why you become that obstacle?
Ok.
Yeah.
Right
bye.
No.
Yeah,
those animals icon
now, I know how they felt.
I,
yeah,
thank
you.
Ahmed,
Miss
Trowbridge.
Bring her here.
Now,
my dear Rainsford. I congratulate you.
You have beaten me.
Not yet.
Oh, but of course, I insist.
Why you,
you're not even wounded.
You hit the dog, not me.
I took a chance and went over with him.
A
clever trick. Rainsford.
I cheerfully admit defeat.
Here's the key of the boat house.
The door is in the trophy room.
You and Mr Troubridge may leave at once.
No.
Right.
And,
oh,
in
the vote quick.
Yeah.
The
possible.
Yeah.
