Daktari (1966) s01e15 Episode Script

Watch that, Judy.
Hey, watch that trip line.
You too.
And don't go wandering off.
Hand me the pliers, huh? Boy, l would like to count up all the years that l spent on a formal education to wind up here in the bush ah, changing film on trip cameras.
Surely in one of those fine schools they must've taught you there's no better way to study animals undetected.
- Especially migration patterns.
- You're parroting your father again.
At least it beats camping out for hours and days at a stretch.
That's true.
L just can't help feeling like a remote-control Peeping Tom doing this.
Hey, you think we got any good pictures? Oh.
Yeah, l wouldn't be surprised.
Should be a pretty good area.
According to your father, before he set up the animal compound this was the favorite haunt of all the poachers.
Okay, you two, it's time to go.
That's something else l'd like to do.
Count up the minutes that they've kept me waiting.
Judy? Clarence? Looks like they've found the old poachers' pit.
Come away from there, Clarence.
- Jack, look.
What is it? There's a baby hyena down there.
Do you think he's hurt? l don't know.
L'll get a rope.
Don't worry, boy.
We'll get you out of there.
Don't get excited.
Judy, no.
Jack! Get the rope.
Dad, he's hurt so.
Will he be all right? We'll know more when we see the x- Ray, honey.
- How's he doing? - L'll take those.
He's in a state of shock, running a pretty high fever - and got some internal bleeding.
- L was afraid of that.
Well, there's no skull fracture.
Possible concussion, though.
Jack, we're gonna have to operate on the internal injuries.
l'll get the tray.
- All right.
Ls that a full tank of oxygen? - But Dad, he hurts so.
- Yes, l know.
- Yes, it is.
- You wanna prepare an anesthetic? - L'll get it.
- No, no, let Jack do it.
- Then let me get the instruments.
Just relax, that's Mike's job.
You're gonna need help with the retractor.
Help with this.
Look, we have a guest in our house.
Why don't you go and help him? Colonel Colby will be all right.
He's been here enough times.
But this is gonna take some time.
Please let me stay.
L was the one who found Willy in the first place.
The best thing you could do Willy? That's the name of our patient, daktari.
l've already put it on the fever chart.
- L'll do anything.
- The one thing you can do is leave this all to us.
- Dad.
- L'll let you know as soon as it's over.
You did a fine job getting him out of the poachers' pit, but now run along.
Scoot.
First thing tomorrow we're gonna get a work detail and fill every poachers' pit we can find.
Oh, Judy! lt's all your fault.
That poor hyena never did a thing to you, and you just Oh, Judy, how could you? Get out of my sight, do you hear me? You're a bad girl.
Now, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.
Looks like you might've given Judy a bigger dose of punishment - than she earned.
- She knows she's bad.
Well, perhaps she acted out of an instinctive fear.
Oh, don't you believe it? Truth is when she was little, a hyena bit her nose - and she's never forgotten it.
- And apparently never forgiven, heh.
But somehow or other that doesn't seem like our Judy.
Oh, l wish l was with them.
Poor Willy.
Hemostat.
Swab.
Now, you just quit that worrying about Willy.
He's gonna be all right.
Oh, l hope so.
Pour you a nice hot cup of coffee? - Here.
- Oh, no, thanks.
- Make you feel better.
- Really, l don't want any.
He's gonna be all right.
Heartbeat's a little weaker, Marsh.
Give it another shot of epinephrine.
Give me a hemostat.
Swab.
Swab.
Suture.
Okay.
Well, your dad says you can go over now, if you want.
- Oh, thanks, Jack.
How is he? - Can't tell yet.
Hey, whoa, where do you think you're going, young lady? Now, Paula doesn't have any time for either one of us tonight so you sit right there.
Okay? Okay.
How is he, Dad? Well, we've done everything we can.
From now on, it's up to Willy.
How often do you want the dressing changed? How often do l want the dressing changed? You kept me out of the operation, you can't keep me from taking post-operative care.
Heh.
Okay.
As a doctor, l'd say you're just what l'd order for Willy.
So, listen, be sure and give him this antibiotic l prepared every four hours.
Okay.
Come on, Clarence, you might as well get some sleep.
No sense in you staying up all night.
Yeah.
So, uh, be sure and call me now if anything goes wrong.
Right.
And try to get some rest, will you? You're gonna make it, Willy.
You gotta make it.
- Finished? - Yeah, all finished.
Your four-footed patient? Well, we'll know more in the morning.
l'm gonna spend the rest of this night in my bed.
Oh, l, uh L know it's foolish to give advice to a doctor but you know, you could use a little sleep too.
Well, Paula may need some help.
l'll be all right out here.
You get some sleep.
See you in the morning.
- L knew it was foolish.
Good night.
- Good night, colonel.
Take it easy.
Take it easy.
Go away, Judy.
We don't need you.
Everything's gonna be all right, Willy.
Don't worry.
Oh, Judy, no.
Come on, come on.
Later, later, later.
L'm too tired now.
Easy, boy.
Easy.
Well, good morning.
Yeah, l'll take over now, honey.
He's pretty active.
l think he's doing all right now.
Yeah, oh, yeah, he seems to be coming along pretty well.
Ha, ha.
Well, let's have a listen.
l want you to get some sleep, though, young lady.
Oh, Dad, l'm fine.
Honest.
l took little naps all night long.
Hmm.
Do you wanna get the carriage? We can move him to the convalescent area.
All right.
Seems pretty good.
Oh, sure.
Yeah, we'll have you up in good shape.
Hey, Dad, can l keep him in my room? Oh, l suppose so.
Yeah, he could sleep in Judy's bed.
Oh, he'll like that.
We'll start stuffing him with all sorts of vitamins and minerals and pretty soon he'll be playing around.
l think you're right.
Let's see if we can get him into that carriage there.
- All right.
- You're gonna be in good shape, l think.
Go for a nice little ride.
A nice little ride.
- There we go.
- Okay.
- All right? - Yeah.
You've had a hard night.
Better let me drive.
Uh, l've ridden with you, colonel.
lf you don't mind, l'll drive.
Okay.
Hey, there's Willy.
Ha.
Hey, don't tell me that you're ready to discharge your patient already.
Oh, no.
No, he's still under partial sedation.
We're just taking him down for the deluxe treatment.
Ha, ha.
By golly, you know, l've never seen a hyena like this before.
And l've bought hundreds of animals in my time.
By the time we get back this little fella will be rolling over and fetching sticks.
- Mike, are you going with the colonel? - Mm-hm.
Daktari needs supplies.
l've been thinking l picked up a lot of animals for my compound back in Coral Springs, Ohio but by golly, this Willy Now, you see, even the mosquitoes are jealous of him.
Come on, will you sell him to me? - Well, uh - Dad, you can't.
There are plenty of hyenas between here and Nagoro.
Yeah, but how many like Willy? He'll make the trip worth twice the expense.
How about it, Marsh? Can we do business? Well, after all, he is Paula's pet.
Um, l'm afraid you'll have to check with her.
Well, Paula? Have a good trip, Colonel.
l hope you find a hyena someplace.
Oh, no.
- Mike, will you help me? - Sure.
Well, so long, Willy.
Ha, ha.
L beat you this time.
Come on, get in.
Judy! Judy, you're gonna have to give up your bed.
Willy's gonna sleep here.
Now, you can stop that right now.
Willy's here to stay.
Oh, yes he is.
And you better get used to it.
Now come on, out of the crib.
Come on.
Let's get this rascal in, huh? Easy does it.
Gently.
All right.
Here we go.
There he is.
Snug as a bug in a rug.
Well, l'll let you two work out the accommodations.
l gotta get back to work.
Judy, how can you be that way? l don't know how Willy's ever gonna forgive you.
Even if you didn't mean it.
Now, you lie back, boy.
You need your rest.
Judy.
Judy, l can't Can't play with you right now.
Oh, you When are you going to grow up? Don't you know l still love you? Oh, Judy.
Come on.
Get back up here.
Come back here, come on.
Willy needs me right now.
Now, you don't want me to go off and leave him, do you? When are you gonna stop being so comical and realize that all of this is your fault? Hey, uh, Madame Lafarge, aren't you riding her a little hard? She deserves it.
What's this? This is the first shipment of nice fresh vitamins, hot off the stove.
Courtesy of your friendly neighborhood naturopath.
- Hmm? - That's, uh, cool talk for witch doctor.
- How often am l supposed to give this? - Every three hours.
And the doctor has another little prescription.
- Lnjections and changing the dressing.
- No, this one is for you.
- Me? - Yep.
Breakfast and a nap.
Doctor's orders.
Orange juice and toast sounds mighty good right now.
- Mm-hm.
How about some eggs? - And toast? - Uh-huh.
Cereal? - How about flapjacks? With some syrup, butter and a big bowl of coffee ice cream on the top.
Poor Judy.
Nobody had time for her.
PauIa seemed to be giving aII her Iove to WiIIy and Judy began to feeI aII aIone abandoned by those she Ioved most.
Not onIy abandoned, but repIaced.
Her position taken over by the onIy animaI that Judy honestIy feared and hated: A hyena.
It made no difference to Judy that WiIIy was compIeteIy smitten with her.
No, to Judy, WiIIy represented everything that had gone wrong with her worId.
So Judy made up her mind.
No more speciaI treatment for this rivaI of hers.
Okay, Willy.
Time for your breakfast.
Judy.
You come here, young lady.
Did you do this? Don't believe you.
And what about that other bottle? You do that too? Oh, no, Judy, no.
Don't do that.
You've been mean, spiteful and childish every since Willy came here.
Now, how could you? Maybe we can teach you a lesson.
Come on, young lady.
Come.
Get in here.
That's where you're gonna stay until you can get along with other animals no matter who they are.
News traveIs fast through our compound.
EspeciaIIy when it's as earth-shaking as the fact that the unofficiaIIy crowned queen of the Wameru AnimaI Reserve had been toppIed from her throne.
Now, needIess to say, this caused considerabIe comment.
Why, some even had to come and see for themseIves.
WhiIe there were some who genuineIy feIt sorry for Judy there were others who found a great deaI of pIeasure in this new turn of events.
But the one who suffered most for poor Judy was WiIIy.
Judy, that won't work.
l know exactly what you're thinking and you're wrong.
You can't blame poor Willy for what's happened.
Lt was your own fault.
So you're gonna be stubborn, are you? Well, you're gonna stay here until there's a marked change in your attitude.
Oh, Judy, what am l gonna do with you? No, you are staying here until l can be sure you can behave yourself.
Well, come on, Willy.
lt's time for your training.
Come on.
Okay, we're getting him.
- A little more oil here.
- Oh! - Don't let him get too far.
- He's oily enough now, l think.
Come on, Stretch.
Push it back the other way.
- Yeah.
- Come on, now, let go, will you? Let - Ha, ha.
He loves you.
- Well, it's one of those things.
Okay, Jack, you wanna take him out now if l can get him loose here? He gets a good grip.
There, boy.
- Okay? - Walk him this way.
Walk him this way.
- Lt's all done? - Yeah.
Okay, you can take him away - l think he's got enough on him.
- L will sure try.
- There we go.
- Good luck.
He's heavy.
There we go.
Well, how's my star patient today, huh? l'd say he was doing fine.
He certainly knows how to make friends.
Look at him play.
Yeah, he's coming along fine.
But l wanna keep up his diet and medication for a while.
He looks good to me.
Oh, yeah, but it'll be a while before he's fully recovered.
lt's all right to go on with his affection training, isn't it? Oh, sure.
Well, it's important to start them when they're young.
Ha, ha.
He's probably pretty confused with this strange place we run here so the more affection you can give him, the better off he'd be.
You know, Paula, right now he needs us but, uh eventually we'll have to turn him out on the reserve.
Yes, l know.
However, l think it'd be a good idea to keep him locked up - while we're not around to watch him.
- L hate to put him in a cage.
Well, if he can continue to show the progress he's already making, well We'll try, won't we, Willy? l have a feeling he's had enough excitement for one day.
l'd better get him.
Stay, there.
Hello, Frenchy.
Come on, Willy.
Come on, little Morris.
How you doing there boy? How you doing buddy? Come on, Willy.
Well, well, well.
Come on, Willy.
Come on, baby.
Come on, it's time to go home.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Willy, don't worry.
They're not going anyplace.
You can come back and play with them anytime.
Now, come on, boy.
WeII, this was getting to be more than Judy couId stand.
There had to be some soIution to her diIemma.
And there was.
A fairIy obvious soIution.
Why, of course, if you can't Iick them, join them.
Now, why didn't she think of that herseIf? Judy, you didn't think l was gonna let you starve, did you? Are you really sorry? You know what you did was wrong? All wrong? You promise not to do it again? Good.
All right.
You can come out of your cage.
Come on out.
Uh, just one second, young lady, you come back here.
Come on.
Give me your food.
l want you to make friends with Willy.
Make friends.
Come on.
Come on.
Okay.
That was wonderful, Judy.
Well, Judy, maybe we have taught you something.
You can't go around blaming every hyena in Africa for one bite.
Good.
Good girl.
Come on, Willy.
Let's go.
lt's time for your breakfast.
Come on.
Come on.
- Good boy.
Good.
It was time to take steps to improve matters at Wameru.
So Judy tried to get CIarence to go aIong with it.
But CIarence had other things on his mind.
Like resting.
He might not approve, but he wouId keep his mouth shut.
None of us at the compound knew that WiIIy and Judy were missing.
We certainIy had no idea what Judy was up to.
She was carrying out her pIan aII aIone taking WiIIy deeper and deeper into the bush.
Now, Judy couId head for home certain that WiIIy couId never foIIow her and find the compound again.
So here he was.
In the jungIe, where aII hyenas beIong.
And Judy was on her way back to the compound where she beIonged.
And as far as Judy was concerned, the matter was settIed.
Willy.
Willy.
Willy? Willy? - Thank you.
- Dad, have you seen Willy anywhere? - Yes, he was inside resting.
- He was, but he's not there anymore.
He just wouldn't go off.
You said he still needs us, doesn't he? Take it easy, he's probably around the compound somewhere.
You know, to an animal like Willy, Wameru can be a pretty exciting place.
Come on, he's probably just sightseeing.
We'll have a quick look.
Huh? Okay.
Willy! No, not you, Oscar.
Willy? Clarence, have you seen Willy? Dad! - Dad, l've looked everywhere.
- Well, now, don't worry.
Willy couldn't have wandered far.
He hasn't had a shot for an hour and a half.
He still needs medication.
- Yeah.
- Okay, Simon Legree - every last record is copied.
- Have you seen Willy? Yeah, l saw Willy.
l'll be the first to admit that you did a good job chasing off Judy.
Judy? What has Judy got to do with this? They were playing together.
Why? What's wrong? Oh, Willy's missing.
How long ago did you see them? Oh, it was maybe an hour.
They were loping off down the road.
Judy.
L should have known.
Judy! Judy, come here! Judy! Judy! Judy, come here! Come here.
Jack, which direction did you see them go? Headed towards the north end of the compound but they could miles from here by now.
Judy, you come here.
Where is he? Spare me your performance and tell me what you've done with him.
Paula, come on.
You're frightening her.
Frighten her? L'd like to pulverize her.
Judy, come on.
Show us where you left Willy.
Come on.
lt's important.
He may be in real trouble.
Come on.
Hurry up.
Up.
UnfortunateIy, neither we nor WiIIy knew just how big that troubIe was.
Judy, which way, huh? Which way? That's Willy.
- Judy.
- Come back here.
Judy, come here.
Come here.
Now.
l think he's more scared than hurt.
Yeah.
Easy, easy.
He got caught up here.
Get him back to the compound right away and continue his shots.
Sorry, Judy.
He got himself snagged.
All right.
Easy, boy.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
That a boy.
All right.
Now, ease up.
Let's go, let's go.
Come on.
There we go.
There.
The incision didn't open, so he should be - on the road to recovery in no time.
- That sounds great.
- Willy, let's go.
- Young lady keep him under lock and key - when you're not with him.
- You're right.
But tonight he sleeps with me.
Come on, Willy, let's go.
Come on.
Go away, Judy.
Come on, go away.
Go away.
Come on, Judy.
L'm trying to read.
Go on.
No, thank you, Judy.
Not just now.
No, Judy.
Not now.
Judy, if you want your own coffee, go get some.
Hmm? Ah, you kind of like that, don't you, boy? You may very well be the first hyena in history to get a bubble bath.
Judy! This is Willy's bath, not yours.
Just a second.
There we go.
Oh, yeah.
Out you go.
Come on.
Out you go.
Good boy.
Now, hold it.
Come on.
Now stay still.
You're gonna be the prettiest and the sweetest-smelling hyena in the continent.
Let me dry you off a little.
Yeah.
Bet that feels a lot better now that you've got your bandage off.
Okay, brush you down a little.
Judy, you can't blame me for not trusting you, can you? Boy, you sure do look pretty, Willy.
And what are you laughing at? You're not exactly Miss Africa.
Take a look, funny face.
Do you have a long aristocratic nose? Or a fine silky tail? No.
When it comes to beauty Willy leaves you in the lower class of animal life.
Now, l want you to stay here until l get Dad.
l want him to see the latest fashions in show hyenas.
Give me the mirror.
Come on.
Give me the mirror.
And Ms.
Green-Eyes, leave Willy alone.
Dad, wait! You haven't seen Willy yet.
l'll have to see him when l get back.
Hedley just called.
They have a lost baby rhino.
Baby rhino.
Can l come too? - Ls Willy in his cage? - You go ahead, child.
l'll take care of the penning.
- L should do it myself.
- Come on, now, get in.
You'll have a good time.
Ha, ha.
Okay.
Come on.
Hop in.
Thanks, colonel.
See you in an hour.
Okay.
Bye-bye.
All right, my old short-legged friend.
Come on.
You keep step with the old colonel here.
That's it.
Come on.
Right here.
Right here.
Get in this here.
Come here.
That's it.
Come on.
Come on.
Oh, come on, now.
There.
What's the matter with you? That's it.
Lf you don't like this treatment remember it was prescribed for you by Dr.
Tracy himself.
Now, don't forget that.
And if you have to complain do it pianissimo.
All right, Willy, see you.
This was too much for WiIIy to understand.
He feIt negIected, aIone.
Judy had turned on him, PauIa had gone away and Ieft him another human had Iocked him up.
Oops.
Or had he? - Oh, no.
Willy? Willy! What's the matter? But l locked him in his cage.
We don't have to search the compound this time.
We have to find Judy, and l know exactly where she is.
Paula? Judy.
Give me that.
You're You're evil.
Down-right evil.
You can't let any animal have any attention.
- You had to turn him loose.
- Paula.
Ugh.
Don't waste my time with your silly acts.
Don't waste ours taking it out on Judy.
He'll be tougher to find.
Stronger than - on his last outing.
- Can't l help? - My truck's outside.
- L'd give you anything - if you can find him.
- Anything? Paula? lf you can find Willy, you can have him.
Just as long as he's not out there alone.
- He's as good as home.
- Okay, let's get started.
Judy, you stay out of this.
Haven't you done enough? Hop in.
We might need you for some tracking.
Didn't take WiIIy Iong to find his own way in the bush.
Things certainIy were different from what they were in the compound.
Now, WiIIy was in serious troubIe.
He had been with us too Iong.
He had Iost the keen instinct of the bush.
So if we didn't find him he wouId starve to death.
That's why we were anxious to make time.
And so was CoIoneI CoIby.
However, if he'd known Judy was a stowaway maybe he wouIdn't have driven quite so fast.
She was hurt.
But fortunateIy, she had enough sense to know she couId be easy prey for some of the animaIs in the bush.
She had to take cover as best she couId.
lt's here where you found Willy.
He may come back to join his pack.
Come on, Clarence.
Let's go.
Up, up.
Come on.
Come on.
Let's go.
We're in a hurry.
Come on.
Thattaboy.
ActuaIIy, it wasn't too bad a guess.
We were not too far from where WiIIy prowIed.
But in the African bush, you have to do better than "not too far away.
" CoIoneI CoIby may have seemed comic to us back at the compound but here in the bush, he was as jungIe-wise as any of us.
WeII, things were beginning to Iook up for WiIIy.
He'd come across the scent of another hyena.
UnfortunateIy, the other hyena wasn't too anxious to meet any feIIow hyenas.
He was foIIowing a scent of his own.
And Judy knew she was in danger.
Big danger.
Clarence, you go on ahead and sniff out Willy's trail.
- Go on.
- Dad, wait.
Well, if he sniffs it out, he'll let us know.
We'll head up this way.
You know what hyena tracks look like, so keep your eyes open.
Even if we do find tracks, how do we know they belong to Willy? l doubt if there are many young hyenas wandering around alone.
Yes, WiIIy had found his own kind but his own kind wasn't too happy to see WiIIy.
Judy was one meaI the other hyena wanted to keep for himseIf.
SuddenIy it began to dawn on Judy.
Her dreaded rivaI WiIIy the animaI who had aroused aII her jeaIousy was risking his own Iife trying to protect her.
Here are his tracks.
Paula? Marsh! Good boy.
Good boy.
That's a good boy.
Colonel, you found him.
- Good - Hold it, hold it.
Want to make sure he hasn't reverted, that he's still tame.
Well, there's your answer.
Come on.
That's it.
Good girl.
Well, here he is, colonel.
Take him.
Wameru's loss, Coral Springs, Ohio's gain.
l can't take him.
Dad taught me when l made a promise You nominated the wrong culprit when you blamed Judy for letting Willy out.
l was a better candidate.
Didn't lock him up well.
So you pre-judged Willy for what one hyena did to you.
You won't ever do that again, now, will you? Ahem.
Well, young lady, uh, seems there was someone else who did a little pre-judging there.
lf l recall, you were absolutely convinced who let Willy out of his cage.
Well, Judy, l apologize.
Friends? Good.
No more jealousy, no more green eyes? Good girl.
You promise, now? - Ha, ha.
- Ha, ha.
Oh, Judy.
Judy, you promised.
Paula, l think what Judy is trying to tell you is that, um, if anyone is gonna make a fuss over Willy - from now on, it's gonna be Judy.
- Ha, ha.
