"♪ (THEME MUSIC PLAYS) ♪" "Wonder what they're doing here." "No live animals in this area." "Well, it is kinda strange." "You know, with all those tusks out there, there's a very good possibility that we have inadvertently stumbled across the long lost and legendary elephants' graveyard, destined to be forever hidden from the eyes of mortal man, until now." "Now, come on, Jack." "Forget the nonsense." "Now, the Ngara commission has asked us to develop this area, and attract some tourists, and we promised to, so let's do it." "Yeah, tourists, sure." "No, don't get me wrong." "I'm all for this tourist bit." "They come and they bring money." "The more money they bring, the more funds we have available for animal conservation, but as far as making this area into a tourist attraction, I don't know." "I'm uneasy about it myself." "Guess it's because I'm unfamiliar with the region." "And Ngara doesn't know much about this sector either." "Even the boundaries are uncertain." "Well, that's why we're here." "Ok, look." "We'll start surveying down there by the river bottom." " So you take the pole, tape." " Right." "Holler when you're ready." "I'll come join you." "Ok." "Come on, Judy." "Let's go." "Come on." "Hey, uh, Paula, be careful, huh?" "W" " Why?" "Well, remember the legend about the elephant graveyard." "There are animal demons who guard the dead." "We're not afraid, are we, Judy?" "All right, now, Judy." "Give me your binoculars." "Come on." "Now, I want you to carry this for a while." "(JUDY MAKES NOISE)" "Judy!" "Judy, that's not a pogo stick." "(JUDY MAKES NOISE)" "Judy, forget it." "There's nothing to that old legend of Jack's." "Well, hello there." "(SCREAMS)" "I'm sorry." "I'm afraid I startled you." "That's all right." "I just wasn't expecting anyone here." "Well, I wasn't either." "But it is a pleasure." "My name is De Long." "Oh, Paula Tracy from Wameru." "Oh, I'm afraid I frightened you." "Well, yes, you did startle me." "You see, I was remembering something Jack had just said when you appeared." "Jack?" "Uh, Jack." "We work together." "He's down the creek a ways." "We're surveying the boundaries of this reserve, and that's Judy." "Judy?" "Anyway, Judy's a chimpanzee, and a very mischievous one, I'm afraid." "Well, if you'll excuse me, I better go looking for her." "Uh, mister" " Doctor." "Dr. De Long." " Yes, Dr. De Long." "You see, I scolded her, and sometimes when I scold her, she'll run off and sulk for a while, so I better go looking after her." "I understand." "In fact, I'll help you look for her." "Oh, well, thank you." "Judy." "Judy." "Judy, do you hear me?" "Come on out." "Judy?" "Don't suppose anything's happened to her, do you?" "Oh, I hardly think so." "What, uh--?" "What was it your friend Jack said?" "Oh, that." "He was just joking." "It had something to do with an elephants' graveyard." " Oh, yes?" " Well, it's really a silly story." "See, the reason that the intruders in the elephants' graveyard didn't return was because of the demons that guarded it." "I'm sure he was just making it up." "Oh, no, no, he didn't make it up, my dear." "There really is such a legend." " Really?" " Oh, yes." "But some day, a scientist will turn fantasy into fact." "He'll become the first man" "The first man to prove the existence of an elephant graveyard." "It'll be one of the great discoveries of the scientific world." "(ANIMAL SCREAMING) Sh." "You hear that?" "Judy?" "Be careful, my dear, now, and" "Oh!" "(LAUGHS)" "Paula, are you all right, my dear?" "Look, it's a baby elephant." "How in the world did it get out here?" "I say, I wonder where its mother is." "We can't leave it in the mud hole." "We'll have to get it out." "I better radio Jack and have him bring the truck over." "Yes, you do that." "I'll look for its mother or the rest of the herd." "You better hurry, my dear." "I think we're on the track of something extraordinary." "Jack, this is Paula." "Come in, please." "Jack, this is Paula." "Come in, please." " Hello there." " Oh." "Hi." "Have you seen any elephant tracks around here?" "Eleph--?" "No." "Oh, there she is." "Come on, Judy." "What in the world's going on here?" "Who was that?" "You found Judy." "No, she found me." "She came and got me." "I guess she thought you were lost." "Look, who is that old codger?" "He scared the devil out of me popping out of the bush like that." "(ANIMAL SCREAMING)" "Hey, what is that?" "Well, that's a mud-soaked baby elephant, and the old man's Dr. De Long, and you have to get that elephant out of there." "I do?" "You don't expect me to do it, do you?" "Marsh, don't you think Jack and Paula should've checked in by now?" "No, no, not necessarily." "There aren't any animals in that area." "I imagined they're settled down by a nice, cool, quiet stream having a picnic lunch right now." "Well, that was a barrel of fun, wasn't it?" "Poor thing needs a lot of attention and a name." "How 'bout Sandy?" "I think Muddy would be more appropriate, but, uh, Sandy it is." "Here, Judy, your turn." "What beats me is what she's doing out here in the first place." "From everything I've heard, there hasn't been a herd of elephants in this area for, oh, maybe 50 years." "Hasn't been a herd in 50 years?" "Not as far as we know, and the reserve commission keeps pretty complete records on animal migrations." "50 years." "She's sick, isn't she?" "Yeah, she is." "If it's what I think it is, we'd better get her back to Wameru pretty quickly." "Well, can I help?" " Uh, you have a car?" " Yes." "Ok." "If you and Paula will pick up the survey equipment," "I can get started back with her right away." " We can do that." " Sure." "I'll call Marsh on the radio, let him know what's coming." "Come on, Judy." "Come on, Judy." "Sit down and relax." "We'll get her back to Daktari in plenty of time." "There." "Here we are." "You know, it was kind of you to ask me to spend a few days at Wameru." "Believe me, we're glad to have you." "It's not often we get visitors, and especially an archaeologist." "But isn't this an unusual place to be exploring?" "Surely there aren't any signs of early civilization here." "Well, civilization, no." "Stone Age man, very definitely." "Actually, I'm searching for something rather different." "Serendipity." " Serendipity?" " Uh-huh." "See, you search for one thing, and you stumble on another." "My father will be very interested in your theories." " Well, I in his." "Here." "Try this." " Oh, thank you." "You know, it's a remarkable opportunity he has here." "To study the animal world as it really is." "The small, uncorrupted universe of his very own." "Africa." "It's a living laboratory, that's what it is." " Here." " Ah." "Those vultures." "I wonder if it was that baby elephant that brought them here." "Well, that's a possibility." "Well, should we get going?" " If you know the way, let's go." " All right." "They found this little elephant in a totally isolated area." "There's no danger of the infection spreading or that sort of thing, is there?" "No." "What's the matter, Marsh?" "Is something bothering you?" "Oh, uh, no." "No." "You know, Paula said she, um, met this chap out in the bush that she's bringing back." "This De Long." "Apparently, he appeared out of nowhere." "Do you know anything about him?" "We haven't any reports of new people in the area, but, uh, that's nothing unusual, of course." "What do you think, Marsh?" "Do you--?" "Do you know this man?" "Oh, I was just curious." "When I was an undergraduate," "I studied under a Professor De Long." "He was-- He was quite a teacher." "Uh, he used to tell us tales of Africa that kept me sitting on the edge of my seat." "As a matter of fact, um," "I would say he's one of the main reasons that I got interested in Africa." "Well, then." "He needs to be congratulated by having inspired such a student as you." "Well, so much for ancient history." "Oh, you want another one?" "No, thanks, that was fine." "Hedley, I appreciate you picking up that vaccine for me." "What Jack said about the elephant's symptoms, it looks as if we're gonna need it." "I'll send to the government health station and we should have it later today." "You can send someone to pick it up from my office." "All right." "You know, I can't understand what a sick elephant, and a baby at that, was doing in that section of the reserve." "Well, beats me." "Well, I'm so sorry to have missed Jack and Paula, and I would've liked a chance to meet your old Mr. Chips." " Well, that'd be something." " (SIGHS)" "Well, thanks again, Hedley, for picking up that vaccine for me." "You're always welcome." "Anytime." "I do hope the condition of that little elephant is not too serious." " Goodbye now, Marsh." " Well, take it easy." "(ELEPHANT SCREAM)" "Well, you're right, Jack." "It's enterotoxaemia, all right." "Could be fatal in an animal so young." "Fortunately, I asked Hedley to pick up some vaccine at the government station." "He'll be holding it for us." "Mike, I'm afraid you're gonna have to make a trip to, uh, Hedley's." "When will it be available?" "Sometime before this evening, I imagine." "(ELEPHANT SCREAM)" "We're gonna have to keep her cool too." "That's probably why she went into the mud, huh?" "Yeah, your instincts are right in that direction." "Incidentally, Paula can take over as soon as she gets back." "How effective do you think the vaccine will be?" "Well, very effective if we can give it to her before, the crisis sets in." "When should that be?" "Sometime in the next 48 hours." "And this is the critical period, then." "Yeah, very critical, I'm afraid." "Poor little girl." "Marsh, how do you explain her being in the Wagoona region?" "(SIGHS) I don't know, Mike." "There aren't any herds there, so I can't imagine why she could possibly be there." "Well, sorry I couldn't keep up with you." "Good thing I had such an expert guide." "Oh, Dad, this is Dr. De Long." "Well, Professor De Long." "This is certainly a pleasant surprise after all these years." "Of all places, Africa too." "(CHUCKLES) Then you remember me, eh?" "Oh, I certainly do." "How could I forget you or your lectures?" "Oh, you've met Jack, but I'd like to have you meet my other assistant, Mike Makula." " How do you do?" " How do you do, sir?" " Uh, Dad, how's Sandy?" " Who?" "The baby elephant." "Oh." "Well, I'm afraid she's a pretty sick elephant, Paula." "Uh, fellas, do you wanna get, uh," "Dr. De Long's bags and equipment out of the truck?" "Oh, yeah, sure." " Dr. Tracy" " Please, I wish you'd make it Marsh." "Sounds kinda strange to hear you call me "doctor."" "After all, you're still a professor to me." "Well, I'm" " I'm afraid the shoe is on the other foot now." "I've read about your many important contributions." "I'm" " I'm extremely proud of your achievements." "Well, that's very kind of you to say so." "Have you published anything recently?" "Well, no, I'm afraid not." "I've just kept on being an old school teacher." "But one of these days, who knows?" "Marsh, do you have any theories to account for this animal's being so far away from any known herd?" "Well, he was obviously lost, but, uh, that leaves an awful lot still unexplained." "Perhaps instead of bringing her back here to the compound, we merely continued to observe her, well, she herself might have supplied the answer to the perplexing riddle of the bush." "She would've died." "Well, eventually, but then we should've had the answer." "Perhaps that's more important." "She was sick." "She needed care." "That's all that matters." "Paula, Dr. De Long was merely making a scientific observation, and a very valid one, I might add." "I'm sorry, Dr. De Long." "Dad, I'll be with Sandy." "It is true, is it not, Marsh, that no one has ever reported observing an elephant dying of natural causes?" "Except in captivity, of course." "I don't recall hearing of any, no." "Why do we so rarely find the bones of elephants?" "Well, of course, there's the scavengers, your hyenas, vultures, and other things like insects, ants, so on." "How would you like to get cleaned up and have a nice, cool drink?" "That would be most welcome." "Well, you know, with all the great herds roaming the plains of Africa, isn't it remarkable that after death, so little of their remains are to be found?" "(CHUCKLES) Well, I suppose so." "(ELEPHANT SCREAM)" "That elephant graveyard theory, Marsh" "Do you suppose anyone will ever pin it down?" "(CHUCKLES) Well, if they do, they'll certainly write books about 'em." "Oh, Judy, leave that alone." "That's for Sandy." "She needs it a lot more than you do." "Boy." "(GASPS)" "Judy!" "Stop that." "Now, that's Sandy's medicine." "Why don't you go play with Clarence or something?" "You heard me, Judy." "Go on." "Judy!" "Now, you heard me." "Vamoose!" "Come on, get lost." "Go on." "And leave things alone." "Come around, Sandy." "Come on." "Come around." "Here you go." "Here you go." "You like that, huh?" "Judy, get lost." "(JUDY HOOTS)" "You heard me." "Uh, good." "There you go, Aaron." "Go back home to your mama." "What's with Judy and the long face?" "She's acting like a little witch today, and I had to get rid of her." "So that's it, huh?" "Well, tell me, what do you think of the good Dr. De Long?" "Well, I haven't given him much thought." "You know, I think Marsh still looks up to him as the old prof." "Guess sometimes hero worship is something you don't outgrow, huh?" "Dad's certainly taken his side." "That man practically came right out and said that we should've left Sandy there to die." "Well, I'm sure he didn't mean it exactly that way." "He's supposed to be out there looking for fossils of early man, and there aren't any." "I'd like to know what he is looking for." "I thought he told you that." "Serendipity." "A chance find to give him eternal fame." "Yeah." "Well, look, I don't think you should worry about him." "Your father likes him and that should be good enough for us." "Despite my father's faith for him," "I just don't trust the good Dr. De Long." "Dr. Tracy, that daughter of yours is truly a devoted nurse." "Tell you what, why don't I take her food down to her?" "Oh, well, that's very nice of you." "Oh, as long as you're going down, Doctor would you mind taking along something for the nurse's aide, Judy?" "(CHUCKLES) That's a good idea." "They're fattening." "Thanks." "(ELEPHANT SCREAMS)" "Miss Tracy." "Oh." "How's your patient?" "Well, I don't know." "Very feverish, and won't take any liquids." "I wish I could get you to take some food." " No, thank you." " You sure?" "Uh, no, thank you." "(ELEPHANT SCREAM)" "In the beginning, she was doing great." "Now she's so restless." "It's not a good sign." "Perhaps she wants her freedom." "After all, it's a new experience for her, being fenced in this way." "She's probably frightened." "I think the fever's what's made her so restless." "It's as if she senses some approaching crisis." "Crisis?" "Oh, I see." "When do you expect the vaccine?" "When Mike gets here tomorrow morning." "And that will ensure the animal's recovery, hm?" "Well, I hope so." "We do know one thing." "We don't get that vaccine, there can only be one outcome." "And that would disturb you greatly if it happened?" "Well, you wouldn't want her to die, would you?" "Well, no, of course not." "But if nature so ordered it" "(ELEPHANT SCREAM)" "You see, in a sense, for me, death and knowledge are often the same." "My work deals not with living events, but what has been." "Seems very callous." "Well, you take sedimentary layers of rock, which hold clues to the remains of early man." "Now, they deal with death, yet they illuminate our minds." "Is a museum callous because it houses relics of the past?" "Are its contributions to knowledge inferior to those of a zoo?" "Judy, I told you to scat." "Sandy needs my attention and care far more than you do." "Go on." "Scat." "I better take this back to the house." "See you later, Sandy." "(ELEPHANT SCREAM)" "Golly, I really am an absentminded professor." "I left my pipe over there." "Will you excuse me?" "Miss Tracy." "Your chimpanzee's trying to let Sandy free." "Judy, get out of here." "Go on." "Get." "(ELEPHANT SCREAMS)" "Boy, has she become a pest ever since we brought Sandy home." "Can't imagine what's gotten into her." "What is going on here?" " It's Judy." "She opened the gate." " She did?" "Why?" "Well, maybe she wanted to let Sandy escape." "Oh, she wouldn't deliberately do a thing like that." "Well, let's face it, Paula." "It's certainly a possibility." "She's obviously jealous and feels neglected." "I'd keep an eye on her, if I were you." "I will, Dad." "Well, now, where's that pipe of mine?" " Oh, it's" " It's right over here." " Oh, yeah." "Hey, Marsh, I certainly admire your daughter's zeal." "I'm sure she's gonna outwit Judy." "(ELEPHANT SCREAM)" "Well, I" " I guess it's about time for me to take my leave." "Right now?" "I'd sort of hoped that you planned to spend a few days with us, professor." "Well, I" " I did." "I did indeed." "But I do have a long way to go, and, well," "I thought I'd get an early start while we've still got some daylight." " You understand." " Well, yes, yes, certainly." "Um, I'm just sorry that we haven't had more time to" " To chat." "Yeah." "Paula hasn't said anything to offend you, has she?" "Oh, no." "Well, we'll get your things." "Jack." "Yeah, Marsh?" "Could you bring the professor's bag?" "He's leaving." "Right." "You know, professor, there's something I've been meaning to ask you." "Good." "Well, you once said that some day," "Darwin would be proven right in his belief that man originated in Africa, and that one day you hoped to supply that proof." "I was just curious if, uh-- Have you succeeded in doing that?" "Uh, Darwin." "Well, Darwin was right, of course." "His Sinanthropus has been discovered in East Africa, older than Peking Man by some hundred thousand years." "Was that in one of my lectures?" "Yes, it was also in your final exam." "Oh." "I trust you gave the right answer." "Well, I guess I did." "You gave me an A." "Which proves how right I was." "The entire faculty had high expectations of you, Marsh, and you've not let them down." "Oh, as for myself, no." "No others proved Darwin right." "Not me." "Uh, I guess I've accomplished very little over the years, but I'm on the track of something, my boy." "I'm really on the track of something." "Yeah, we'll see." "Maybe one of these days you'll be proud of your old teacher." "Well, thank you." "You just throw that right in the back." "Ok." " (DE LONG):" "Well, goodbye, my dear." " (PAULA):" "Goodbye, Professor." " (DE LONG):" "Goodbye, Marsh." " (MARSH):" "Goodbye, Doctor." " (DE LONG):" "Perhaps we'll meet again." " (MARSH):" "I certainly hope so." " (MARSH):" "Good luck." " (DE LONG):" "Thank you, thank you." "Well, see she's finally settled down for the night." "That's the best thing for her." "You think I better stay up with her?" "No, I don't think it's necessary." "Besides, you can use some sleep yourself." "Come on." "(JUDY HOOTS)" "(JUDY HOOTS)" "What is it, Judy?" "(JUDY HOOTS)" " What's the matter?" " Something's wrong, Dad." "Oh, no." "Sandy's gone." "I knew I should've stayed with her." "Well, how'd the gate get open?" "Didn't you fasten it?" "Of course I did." "I made certain it was closed last night." "Well, fancy meeting you folks here." "What's doing?" "Sandy's gone." "What happened?" "Well." "(JUDY HOOTS)" "Dad, Judy wasn't the one." "I'm sure." "After all, she was the one that came and got us." "Well, we'll worry about that later." "Jack, let's start combing the immediate area." " Right." " Paula, wait here for Mike, so you can bring the vaccine to us as soon as we radio for it." "Dad, do you think she could've gone back to the area where we found her?" "No, I don't think she would've traveled that far." "Jack, bring Clarence with you." "Yeah." "Poor Sandy." "She's probably out there all alone and may be dying." "All right, little one, instinct took you this far." "Now I'm gonna let you finish your journey." "You'll die as you were meant to die." "You can't escape your destiny." "Attagirl." "Go on, girl." "That's right." "You seek the resting place of your ancestors." "Let your bones lie amongst them undisturbed." "(JUDY HOOTS)" "Dad, Jack just called in." "He's about 4 miles from the Yula river crossing." "Where are you?" "I'm just across the Wombi plains." "Can you repeat that?" "I am just across the Wombi plains." "Dad, you're barely coming through." "Nuts." "I must be out of range." "Paula, I will contact Jack from now on." "Jack, do you read?" "Over." "Yeah, Marsh, I read you loud and clear." "Go ahead." "Anything doing?" "No, nothing at all." "Can't understand it either." "We should've picked up some tracks by this time." "How 'bout you?" "No." "No luck here either, and it doesn't look promising." "Ok." "Let's spread out a little further, huh?" "Ok, Marsh." "Out." "All right, Clarence." "I'm gonna depend on you." "Your nose may be better than my eyes." "(JUDY HOOTS)" "Judy, stop it." "Dad was right." "You probably opened that gate." "Judy, don't you realize that poor Sandy's out there in the bush alone and dying just because you wanted her to go?" "I have to keep you out of mischief until Dad gets back here." "Mike, and I glad to see you." "Sandy's gone." "Gone?" "Well, the gate was opened and she wandered off." "Dad and Jack are out looking for her now." "That is bad." "There's not much time left, is there?" "No, that's the terrible part." "Where are Marsh and Jack?" "Well, Jack's at Yula river crossing about 4 miles out, and Dad's near Wombi plains." "Uh-huh." "Well, I guess I'd better go help them." "Here's the vaccine." "Be sure and keep it refrigerated until we need it." " I'll see you later." " Ok." "Good luck." "Judy, I said I was gonna keep you out of mischief." "Come on." "Now what's so important?" "I hope this isn't another one of your wild chimp chases, Judy." "Well, this is Professor De Long's." "Wonder what it's doing here." "Well, I guess he must've lost it." "He's never been in the corral before, unless it was during the night." "Tire markings, Judy." "They look as if they were made last night." "You know, I bet Professor De Long opened the gate and took Sandy." "I gotta do something about this." "Wameru calling Daktari." "Come in, please." "Wameru calling Daktari." "Please, come in." "Jack, Mike, anyone, come in, please." "This is Paula Tracy calling Daktari." "Come in." "It's no use, Judy." "Dad and Jack are out of range, and he doesn't even have a walkie-talkie." "They're never gonna find Sandy." "They're looking for elephant tracks instead of tire marks." "It's up to us, Judy, come on." "Let's go." "I don't know where to start looking." "Maybe we should try the Wganda area." "I hope I'm right." "Just won't be another chance for Sandy." "Well, it has to be there, Judy." "Something to do with that place." "I'm sure he took Sandy back." "I don't know why, unless to release her." "Doesn't make any sense." "(ELEPHANT SCREAM)" "Sandy, get up, girl." "Come on." "You've got a lot of life in you yet." "Sandy, you got a long way to go." "You can't die here." "This isn't the place I'm searching for." "Come on." "Attagirl." "There's my baby." "You keep moving." "That's it." "Follow your instincts." "Don't give up, girl." "There it is." "No tracks." "Maybe she wasn't here after all." "Dr. De Long?" "Dr. De Long?" "I just can't watch you suffer any more." "I'm sorry, little one." "(CAR HORN)" "(CAR HORN)" "Well, I know he's around here." "Why doesn't he answer?" "Here I am, my dear." "What are you doing here?" "Well, I saw your truck." "Sandy's gone." "Oh." "I see." "You were looking for her." " Yes." " Why here?" "This is where we originally found her." "And you thought she might've returned?" "I haven't found any tracks." "Don't suppose you've seen her." "She won't last much longer." "I brought some vaccine, but I'd have to find her right away." "I don't understand why you're asking me all this." "It's Dad." "Wonder how he knew." "Paula." "Dr. De Long." "What's going on?" "Have you found Sandy?" "Not yet, but what are you doing here?" "Well, I thought Sandy might double back to the compound, so I went back to check, and found that you had gone and taken all the vaccine with you." "So I just followed your tracks out here." "What's this all about, anyway?" "Dad, Dr. De Long took Sandy out of the corral last night." "I found this in the enclosure." "Paula, you mean you came all the way out here with the entire supply of vaccine because of some crazy suspicion about Dr. De Long?" "Well, it's true." "Just ask him." "Well, let me ask you something, young lady." "Tell me." "Do you, by any chance, see any elephant tracks around here?" "No, I don't." "And tell me something else." "Just why would a respected scientist like Dr. De Long want to endanger a baby elephant's life?" "I'm sorry, Dr. De Long." "I was just a little bit jealous of your influence over Dad." "Nevertheless, you cared for a helpless animal." "There happens to be one other problem." "Suppose Jack and Mike find the animal, and need that vaccine." "No, Marsh." "Marsh, Paula's innocent." "I'm the guilty one." "Talk about your jealousy." "My jealousy was blind and callous beyond words." "What?" "Yes, I was jealous of my colleagues, former students like you for having achieved recognition." "Oh, well, I" " What I did I told myself was in the name of science." "Well, Marsh," "I brought that sick elephant up here because she was dying." "What on Earth for?" "Well, I had an idea that Sandy could lead me to an elephants' graveyard." "Her life seemed far less important than the value of such a discovery." "An elephants' graveyard?" "Doctor, those" " Those few tusks you see lying around here are years old." "They're worthless, decomposed, pitted by ants." "Why, there's no such thing as an elephants' graveyard." "Not in this country, or in any country, for that matter." "Where's Sandy?" "It's too late, my dear." "I" " I just don't understand." "What--?" "What did you expect to achieve even if you had found this so-called elephants' graveyard?" "Well, Marsh, it would've taught us a great deal about the theory of instinct, give us new insights into an animal's inner knowledge of its impending doom, raised tremendous questions about the very nature of life and death." "What am I talking about?" "I'm deceiving myself, Marsh." "I was ambitious, vain." "My motives were base." "I, uh" " I was going to shoot Sandy, put her out of her misery." "Oh." "Marsh, I can't tell you how ashamed I am." "(JUDY HOOTS)" "Paula." "Paula." "I can't believe it." "Sandy." "Thanks, Judy." "Paula, get the vaccine and my case." "Paula, hurry up." "She was dying, Marsh, I saw her." "There wasn't a chance for her." "Uh, just weak and exhausted from her illness." "You're in no medical condition to make a proper diagnosis." "What do you think, Dad?" "I don't know yet, Paula." "I don't know." "(JUDY HOOTS)" "That's amazing." "I would never have believed she could've made such progress in so short a time." "Well, fortunately, she's young and was able to snap back in a hurry." "We were lucky." "No, no." "It wasn't luck, Marsh." "Not that." "No." "You were determined to save her life, all of you, and that's what you did." "But you know, I do consider myself lucky." "You once spoke to me about how grateful you were for all the things you've learned from me." "Well, that debt's been repaid many times over, because I'm the one who's grateful to you for all the things you've taught me here at Wameru." "Well, if there's any pride left in me, it's in knowing that as a teacher my life was not wasted, that out of my classroom came fine men like you." "Well, don't forget, without good teachers, you wouldn't have scientists." "Well, I see you've informed the authorities." "Yes, I" " I had to." "But Dad, now that Sandy's all right, couldn't you have just forgotten the incident?" "No, I've-- I've broken the law, my dear." "Your father was right sending for the police." " Hello, Marsh." " Hello, Hedley." "Paula." "It this De Long?" "Yes, and that's the little elephant I was telling you about." "Hedley, do you have any idea what she was doing out there in that area where the elephants have roamed for so many years?" "Yes." "I think I can solve that little mystery." "That young animal is a pet of the Wganda tribe." "She must've strolled away and got herself lost." "The tribes will be very glad to see her back thanks to you, Dr. De Long." "Well, here, now." "Aren't-- Aren't you going to arrest me?" "Daktari told me about your cat-and-mouse game, but since there was no harm done, under the circumstances, there'd be no sense in prosecuting you." "What do you think, Marsh?" "Well, even though he is a professor," "I think Dr. De Long has learned a valuable lesson from all this." "Well, it's a lesson I'll take away with me from Africa and long remember." "Doctor, don't tell me you intend to leave this lovely land." "Well, I really have no reason to stay, uh, as much as I'd like to." "I suppose I'll just return to the classroom and hope to turn out a few more Marsh Tracys before they turn me back to pasture." "I think there is a reason for your stay." "That unexplored area where you first met Paula and Jack need a complete surveying job." "And after that, they need a qualified scientist to supervise the paleontological excavations." "It would take about a year." "There must be hundreds of mysteries locked up in the earth." "The tourist organization has authorized me to engage you to head their new project in that area." "Does that interest you?" "Well, sir, I" " I certainly would, very much indeed." "(JUDY MAKES NOISE)" "There's, uh, something I've gotta take care of first." "Judy, can you forgive me for putting the blame on you?" "Looks like I'm forgiven."
