00:01:04 This is the most famous
00:01:08 Famous because what took place
00:01:14 Colonel John Patterson
00:01:18 A fine Irish gentleman,
00:01:23 He was my friend.
00:01:30 Remember this...
00:01:32 Even the most impossible parts of
00:01:46 John Henry Patterson.
00:01:50 Firm handshake. Tells me
00:01:58 Now, why don't you tell me about me?
00:02:01 To get you started, many people find
00:02:07 Winning personality, heaps of charm.
00:02:10 My wife is
00:02:15 Thank you, gentlemen.
00:02:20 Look at me closely, ColoneI Patterson.
00:02:25 My only pleasure is tormenting
00:02:30 People like yourself.
00:02:34 I'll make you hate me.
00:02:37 We're in a race, and the prize is
00:02:43 We're building the most expensive
00:02:46 for the purpose of saving Africa
00:02:51 Our competitors are
00:02:55 We will stay ahead provided
00:03:00 build a bridge across the river Tsavo
00:03:06 - Can you do that?
00:03:10 - You know I've never been late.
00:03:16 Let me remind you,
00:03:19 I have in India. Each country
00:03:24 - You need all your confidence.
00:03:31 And, if I may speak personally, my wife
00:03:36 and I promised her I'd be there
00:03:40 Very moving, ColoneI.
00:03:45 but I really don't give a shit
00:03:50 I've made you with this assignment.
00:03:57 You won't have the opportunity.
00:04:04 Then I have a train to catch.
00:04:20 Tell me about Beaumont. Does
00:04:23 - How lucky he is to have you?
00:04:27 - The man showered me with praise.
00:04:33 - You get that downtrodden look again.
00:04:39 I'd never have taken this
00:04:41 And you'd have been in agony
00:04:45 You've been desperate to
00:04:49 - There may be difficulties.
00:04:53 It only means that our son and I...
00:04:58 ...will have an excuse
00:05:02 All aboard!
00:05:05 Come along. Put me on the train.
00:05:10 You go.
00:05:18 Such a gentleman.
00:05:27 I am desperate to see Africa,
00:05:29 You build bridges, John.
00:05:40 Bye.
00:06:13 - ColoneI Patterson!
00:06:16 ColoneI Patterson? Yes?
00:06:20 Welcome to Africa, sir. Angus Starling.
00:06:26 - Beaumont will have told you that.
00:06:30 But he did give me his monster speech.
00:06:32 Robert seems dreadfuI but once you
00:06:38 And I'm one of his defenders.
00:06:43 Your first trip to Africa? Good, because
00:07:17 They're amazing, aren't they?.
00:07:18 The most amazing thing about them...
00:07:30 - Don't like them much.
00:07:33 They have to be or they wouldn't
00:07:52 - Anything speciaI about them?
00:07:57 I bet they don't kiss very much.
00:07:59 I've lived in Africa for a year
00:08:02 - How long have you been here?
00:08:07 But I've been longing for this
00:09:01 Welcome to Tsavo.
00:09:20 SamueI! SamueI is camp liason.
00:09:24 - He's the only one everyone trusts.
00:09:27 - And very poor French.
00:09:32 The bridge builder.
00:09:34 - We've been getting ready for you.
00:09:38 I've got some
00:09:40 - Come to the hospitaI afterwards.
00:09:48 - Where are you from, SamueI?
00:09:53 I'm from... over there.
00:10:42 - Everything seems to be under controI.
00:10:48 - Why is that?
00:10:53 The Africans hate the Indians.
00:10:58 The Hindus believe cows are sacred,
00:11:08 - Do you eat a cow?.
00:11:11 I've worked with both Hindu
00:11:14 You can try. It won't work.
00:11:17 Nothing works here.
00:11:35 - Advance camp is across there.
00:11:38 3,000 men laying track.
00:11:40 Your bridge is not yet built, each day
00:11:58 - Did it look like this in your mind?
00:12:05 It should be difficult. What betterjob
00:12:11 To bring land over water.
00:12:15 To bring worlds together.
00:12:17 - Finish your tour?.
00:12:20 Yes, but their suffering is only transitory
00:12:26 That's just vomitus talk, Mr Starling.
00:12:29 Poor bastards will get even sicker
00:12:34 David Hawthorn. I'm...
00:12:40 And my advice to you is...
00:12:46 That was meant to be charming.
00:12:50 - You never had it.
00:12:54 - I'm also liason between these two.
00:13:00 This is a sham.
00:13:06 It's only being built to protect
00:13:10 - Then why stay, doctor?.
00:13:15 Beat you to it, didn't I?
00:13:17 - Dr Hawthorne...
00:13:22 You may have brought bad luck with
00:13:28 He was attacked by a man-eater
00:13:30 You're such a buffoon
00:13:35 His injuries are only slight.
00:13:38 He was riding his donkey nearby
00:13:42 Donkey took the brunt of it.
00:13:45 Thank you, Karim.
00:13:49 I know this is your first day
00:13:55 But... what are you gonna do about it?
00:13:58 With any luck,
00:14:04 - Could I come and watch?
00:14:07 Well, not exactly.
00:14:15 Can you keep quiet?
00:14:22 - I hate to be a bother, John...
00:14:29 The cramp... is getting worse.
00:14:33 The pain is actually...
00:14:37 - You just have to cope with it, Angus.
00:14:42 But back at my tent.
00:14:45 You'll be dead before
00:14:48 - The lion will eat you.
00:14:59 - Is this the best way to hunt a lion?
00:15:03 I've never even seen one.
00:15:53 One shot!
00:15:57 One shot! Patterson
00:16:15 My God, you sorted it out.
00:16:22 There's nothing like the fear
00:16:25 They own the night
00:16:29 It was clear to the men that Patterson
00:16:34 That one shot had taken
00:16:42 Angus, I've decided to have you and
00:16:51 Of course, the hardest part about
00:16:56 For that task, I'm giving you
00:17:02 Aren't we full of ourselves today.
00:17:06 - Ah, John...
00:17:10 - How many shots did you need?
00:17:17 - Four weeks is just not enough time.
00:19:52 Come in.
00:19:56 One shot.
00:20:02 The claws of the lion you killed.
00:20:07 Thank you.
00:20:09 - It will remind me of Africa.
00:20:14 It will also protect you. Wear it.
00:20:29 You know how God invented liquor
00:20:34 He invented being bull-headed so
00:20:38 For when this bridge is finished,
00:20:43 and all to do with my stubbornness.
00:20:49 Yet, we are somehow
00:20:52 Mahina, my foreman, deserves so
00:20:57 Another marvel. Starling has actually
00:21:02 I cannot wait to show this beautiful
00:22:44 What the lion must have done was lick
00:22:50 Then he feasted on him,
00:22:55 Lions don't eat this way.
00:22:58 We followed his tracks.
00:23:03 What sort of lion could carry off
00:23:23 Terror had now built a hole inside us
00:23:28 Because if Mahina, who was so
00:23:33 what could the rest of us do?
00:25:06 - They will go when I tell them!
00:25:10 You want us to work
00:25:15 Why is there no work being done?
00:25:18 - Malaria epidemic. Very sudden.
00:25:24 On that I choose to remain dubious.
00:25:29 - The second?
00:25:31 A man wandering alone at night.
00:25:34 There's even less of him
00:25:38 It's too soon for a lion
00:25:41 In our village, we construct thorn bush
00:25:45 Big burning fires at night.
00:25:49 Good. Get started.
00:25:51 And a strict curfew. No one
00:25:56 Abdullah, send half your men
00:26:00 Take the other half to the bridge.
00:26:03 - I will kill the lion and build the bridge.
00:26:09 You're white. You can do anything.
00:26:14 It would be a mistake not to work
00:26:24 Go back to work!
00:26:48 No! It's got to be tighter!
00:26:51 See? This has got to be a wall!
00:27:07 - What a good week.
00:27:10 We all worked together.
00:27:15 I like the labour.
00:27:20 My mother insisted on piano lessons.
00:27:23 Broke the dear woman's heart
00:27:27 She was always on at me
00:27:32 I like the blood. Is that so strange?
00:27:35 - No.
00:27:40 Here it comes, SamueI.
00:27:43 Even you two must admit,
00:27:47 With one common splendid goaI,
00:27:50 Think what will be done when we all
00:27:58 I am immune to your disdain.
00:28:02 When I came, I had one small goaI:
00:28:08 Now I've decided to move on
00:28:11 I will not rest untiI both of you
00:28:15 I'm beyond conversion.
00:28:17 My mother's a Roman Catholic
00:28:21 I have four wives.
00:28:24 Good luck.
00:28:28 The struggle is the glory.
00:29:02 - For you.
00:29:07 - Good news.
00:29:15 - You like her?.
00:29:22 I don't like any of mine.
00:29:32 Hassan!
00:29:43 Darling. The big excitement
00:29:46 when some school children
00:29:50 They saw me. An attempt at humour,
00:29:57 Anyway, after our son... you'll
00:30:01 After he's born, travel
00:30:06 As he kicks me at night,
00:30:09 He definitely wants to come to Africa.
00:30:52 Move yourselves!
00:31:09 Angus! Stay here.
00:32:42 Jesus... There's two of them.
00:32:46 I told you to be careful.
00:33:00 "And the king said to DanieI,
00:33:03 "'is thy God whom thou servest,
00:33:09 "And DanieI said unto the king,
00:33:11 "'My God hath sent his angeI and
00:33:15 "'that they have not hurt me, forasmuch
00:33:20 "'and as before thee, oh King,
00:33:24 "'Have I done no hurt. "'
00:33:28 The men called them
00:33:32 There were two of them, and
00:33:36 because man-eaters
00:33:39 They owned the night but
00:33:44 Alone or together.
00:33:48 Some thought
00:33:50 but the spirits of dead medicine men
00:33:54 Or they were the devil sent to stop
00:34:00 I believed this... that they were evil.
00:34:04 What better ground
00:34:07 Because this is what the word Tsavo
00:34:19 - You didn't say help is on the way?.
00:34:23 They will listen to you.
00:34:26 They are afraid. They want to go home.
00:34:36 Beaumont is on that train.
00:34:38 - If he sees this, you'II lose yourjob.
00:34:41 That's all you really care about.
00:34:45 Oh... Christ.
00:34:54 Then you go, too.
00:34:57 Go, tell all your men to go.
00:34:59 But I will kill the lions
00:35:06 ...you must go home and tell the wives of
00:35:12 ...that you fled with the others
00:35:36 - Welcome to Tsavo. Pleasant journey?.
00:35:45 Lovely sound. They seem happy.
00:35:54 - Don't they though?
00:35:58 - What of the soldiers?
00:36:03 - I promised my men protection.
00:36:06 He ordered some Bibles. Is he here?
00:36:12 - Where is he? Where's Starling?
00:36:25 - What happened?
00:36:34 Nothing wrong with these people!
00:36:37 - They're afraid.
00:36:41 - The Ghost and the Darkness came.
00:36:46 It's what the natives
00:36:50 There's a legend here. Two man-eaters
00:36:54 - I thought you were a hunter.
00:36:59 These lions are... not like lions.
00:37:06 How many have they killed?
00:37:09 About 30, I should think.
00:37:14 Christ!
00:37:15 You've been here three months
00:37:20 Don't you know the French
00:37:24 And I don't care about you,
00:37:29 I care about my knighthood!
00:37:36 Do we wish the world to think that
00:37:39 are afraid to do theirjob because of
00:37:46 I don't think so.
00:37:53 I'm calling it my "contraption".
00:37:56 I placed it here because this is the area
00:38:03 I'm surrounding it
00:38:07 Except for this small area here,
00:38:11 Just what kind of lunacy
00:38:22 On the other side of these bars
00:38:27 About here will be a trip wire
00:38:35 Genius! The beast will enter,
00:38:38 the door will slide down behind him,
00:38:41 You, meanwhile, safe behind your bars
00:38:45 and will shoot him at your leisure.
00:38:51 Are you running a high fever, man?
00:38:54 How could you conceive of
00:38:57 I didn't conceive it for the lions.
00:39:00 And did it work?.
00:39:03 In point of fact, it didn't.
00:39:09 I made a mistake hiring you.
00:39:16 I need a professionaI hunter.
00:39:21 Every hunter has heard of him.
00:39:25 By the time you find him, the lions will
00:39:35 The job's still yours, but only because
00:39:40 If I have to return, you are finished.
00:39:42 I will then do everything within
00:39:47 Fair enough?
00:39:50 I told you you'd hate me.
00:39:53 Helena.
00:39:57 Every morning
00:39:59 The workers feel I brought this terror,
00:40:03 Whatever I try, they seem to know.
00:40:15 - Very impressive.
00:40:18 You're murderers. Criminals.
00:40:21 That's good.
00:40:24 - And you have nothing to fear.
00:42:51 Of course he kept moving! Did you
00:42:56 This worked.
00:42:59 He was about 15 feet away
00:43:02 You couldn't even wound it!
00:43:07 - Not a trace of blood anywhere.
00:43:10 - We came close many times.
00:43:13 - Next time we'll be better.
00:43:19 Ridiculous talk.
00:43:22 - You're telling me my beliefs!
00:43:31 - We do have a problem in Tsavo.
00:43:37 We do. We do.
00:43:45 He's the problem in Tsavo!
00:43:49 - Be carefuI!
00:43:53 You don't tell me anything!
00:43:57 We are sick and tired of your lies!
00:44:01 You listen while I talk!
00:44:04 Change in plans.
00:44:08 Get them back!
00:44:14 Go back! Quickly, go back!
00:44:16 Go back! Go back! Go back!
00:44:22 You listen while I talk, because you
00:44:28 - Will I pull this trigger?.
00:44:33 - He will pull the trigger.
00:44:37 You're right. The deviI has come
00:44:42 I am the deviI.
00:44:47 I'm a man of peace!
00:44:51 - You are a man who wants to live.
00:44:57 That's an excellent decision.
00:45:01 - Your name is Abdullah.
00:45:03 - I'm sure we're gonna meet again.
00:45:15 - You have returned.
00:45:18 - How have you been?
00:45:31 Warriors!
00:46:11 I will need ten cows.
00:46:16 - John Patterson?
00:46:23 Remington uses the Masai to hunt
00:46:29 He takes some getting used to.
00:46:35 - Why didn't you tell me you knew him?
00:46:45 I didn't get a chance to thank you.
00:46:47 - What did I do?
00:46:50 SamueI was there.
00:46:55 - What was that all about anyway?.
00:47:00 Forty?. That's amazing.
00:47:03 - There's something you should know...
00:47:07 You're in charge of building the bridge.
00:47:11 - That's right.
00:47:14 - That's fine...
00:47:19 And knowing Beaumount, you're not
00:47:25 So what do you say
00:47:27 I help you by killing the lions
00:47:30 You help me by doing what I say so I
00:47:36 - Actually, no.
00:47:50 First thing I propose is a new hospitaI.
00:47:55 - What? That's a terrible idea.
00:48:00 I'm sure you know what's best.
00:48:03 That's the most infantile thing
00:48:05 Whoever you are, would you tell me
00:48:11 I could explain but with
00:48:14 makes for an inviting target.
00:48:17 I could tell you I just saw
00:48:20 which makes me think they're already
00:48:23 But I don't wanna answer you.
00:48:25 When you question me, you're saying
00:48:30 Anybody here think I'm a fooI,
00:48:36 ColoneI Patterson?
00:48:42 Well, then I guess we all agree.
00:49:09 - I'll need you with me tomorrow.
00:49:19 - SamueI says you killed a lion.
00:49:25 Nobody kills a lion with one shot by
00:49:30 Even if you're not, understand that
00:49:37 You have to build that bridge so the
00:49:42 - That's very considerate of you.
00:49:46 My mother taught me that.
00:49:51 What are you laughing about?
00:49:55 I don't believe you had a mother.
00:50:04 Now we're ready.
00:50:22 You really believe
00:50:29 But you're not excited.
00:50:34 You don't enjoy killing, do you?
00:50:39 Then why do it?
00:50:43 Because I've got a gift.
00:00:03 We're gonna try and convince
00:00:08 I wouldn't have thought
00:00:11 You hope each time it won't be.
00:00:21 Strange man.
00:00:27 Two great tribes of his country fought
00:00:34 - And his side lost?
00:00:39 The very young ones
00:00:44 He buried his family
00:00:48 Now he hunts all over the world
00:00:53 He says Africa is the last good place.
00:00:58 John?
00:01:01 Will you exchange weapons with me?
00:01:05 I won't be with you tomorrow.
00:01:13 Thank you.
00:01:19 - Why does he need you with him?
00:01:25 We've hunted many times.
00:02:43 I've spotted one of them in the thicket.
00:03:36 Chances are
00:03:39 ColoneI, take the higher position there.
00:07:17 Shoot him.
00:07:22 Shoot him.
00:07:29 Shoot him! Goddamnit! Shoot him!
00:07:34 Shoot him!
00:07:46 - What happened?
00:07:49 - What do you mean you don't know?.
00:07:54 For the first time?
00:07:58 The gun belongs to Dr Hawthorne.
00:08:06 You exchanged weapons?
00:08:10 You went into battle
00:08:20 They've got an expression
00:08:24 "Everybody's got a plan untiI
00:08:28 You've just been hit.
00:08:32 That's up to you.
00:08:45 They say they're leaving now
00:08:50 They are not lions.
00:09:02 The Masai did not see a lion.
00:09:06 They knew there was not enough
00:09:09 to make these demons stop drinking.
00:09:12 Remington laughed at us.
00:09:19 Gentlemen, there is no
00:09:23 We have removed
00:09:26 When we leave this evening, lock
00:09:30 Keep those fires burning high.
00:09:35 Aren't there any questions?
00:09:38 You two sleep beautifully in your tent
00:09:41 And where will you two
00:09:47 We will spend the night waiting
00:09:52 And I can assure you,
00:09:56 those lions are gonna find it irresistible.
00:11:39 Just think about something else.
00:11:43 - Have you ever failed?
00:12:17 I meant to ask you, that trap you set
00:12:22 - Aye.
00:12:27 - I used the same device myself once.
00:12:33 No, in point of fact it didn't.
00:15:04 Johnny... Get the lock.
00:15:48 - We must not leave!
00:15:51 - We must not leave!
00:18:02 Hurry up!
00:19:54 One of us needs to be brave.
00:20:30 It would've been a beautifuI bridge.
00:20:37 I guess I had
00:20:41 Not actually something
00:20:44 I got up this morning and...
00:20:51 The setting's so beautifuI...
00:20:58 You've just been hit.
00:21:03 Yeah.
00:21:07 The getting up is up to you.
00:21:13 They're only lions.
00:21:18 Yeah, yeah, they're only lions.
00:21:21 Well, I just saw some fresh paw prints
00:21:27 So I guess we've both been hit.
00:21:32 Let's go after them.
00:21:46 When I was growing up,
00:21:50 He used to terrorise everybody.
00:21:55 He had a brother who was worse
00:22:00 One or the other was always in jaiI.
00:22:06 Alone they were just bullies,
00:22:11 - They were reaI killers.
00:22:16 Well, I got bigger.
00:25:19 Oh, my God.
00:25:29 Holy Christ.
00:25:34 Lions don't do this.
00:25:37 Lions... never have a lair like this.
00:25:49 They're doing it for the pleasure.
00:25:54 - They'll know we've been here.
00:26:19 - Both of them.
00:26:29 - Have you ever used a machan?
00:26:32 - A machan.
00:26:38 I figure
00:26:43 if we... put this in a clearing...
00:26:47 I'm not quite sure of the scale.
00:26:52 - It might be too small for the both of us.
00:26:56 I ain't gonna be there. This is
00:27:03 So, you want me to be bait alone.
00:27:05 That's right. I'm gonna be in some tree
00:27:12 Now, can you controI your fear?.
00:27:15 I suppose I'll have to.
00:27:30 Lions hate the sound of a baboon.
00:27:33 Anything to make
00:27:37 Hey, this here's for you.
00:27:40 You might need it.
00:28:05 This certainly is the best opportunity
00:28:13 Good luck.
00:28:18 Including the workers that I've lost
00:28:21 - how many do you think they've killed?
00:28:25 A hundred. Maybe more.
00:28:28 But you know something?
00:28:31 - Why?.
00:28:41 - Oh, Merry Christmas.
00:28:45 Oh, yeah, this is the month.
00:34:11 Excuse me.
00:34:15 Because he's just like
00:34:19 He's alone for the first time
00:34:25 Somehow,
00:34:33 I just keep wondering
00:34:38 I love Africa. I could never forget her.
00:34:44 You're young, Johnny, I mean...
00:34:47 So many things flash by
00:34:50 "Oh, yeah, this is gonna
00:34:54 "I will never forget this dawn...
00:35:00 "... this passion", and then...
00:35:05 It's all gone.
00:35:08 Well, I hope it stays here.
00:35:13 - Another toast.
00:35:16 To memory.
00:35:20 I wanted to remember
00:35:27 I was so excited.
00:35:37 I know why I wanted to build the bridge,
00:35:40 but I can tell you the memory
00:35:44 To see my son come into the world.
00:35:48 To bring worlds together.
00:35:55 Well, my life was shaped because
00:36:01 It took me around the world.
00:36:06 The memory that I wanted...
00:36:09 That was the family that I lost.
00:36:15 You know, Charles...
00:36:19 You're a rather cheerfuI fellow
00:36:30 Well, I should've warned you.
00:36:36 Oh, Johnny...
00:36:39 When you meet your son,
00:37:03 Excuse me.
00:37:06 - I'd like to see John Patterson, please.
00:37:10 Could you tell him that his wife...
00:37:22 Sorry.
00:37:45 Hello! Hello, darling!
00:37:57 No.
00:37:59 - Hello...
00:38:04 - I can see you!
00:38:12 No! Go back!
00:38:22 - Go back!
00:39:10 No, Charles...
00:39:18 Oh, God.
00:39:29 Charles!
00:39:34 Charles!
00:41:20 John!
00:41:23 Where do you think you're going?
00:41:27 I'm gonna sort it out.
00:41:31 I'm going to sort it out.
00:42:31 Get down! Get down, John!
00:42:35 Down!
00:43:27 John!
00:44:32 ColoneI Patterson?
00:44:36 ColoneI Patterson.
00:44:38 My name is NigeI Bransford.
00:44:44 I'm so proud to meet you.
00:44:46 Patterson the lion killer.
00:44:50 - No, you don't.
00:44:52 - Excuse me. You have a visitor.
00:45:01 Welcome to Tsavo, NigeI.
00:47:09 Patterson did hold his son high.
00:47:12 People came back.
00:47:16 People went their ways.
00:47:20 If you want to see the lions today,
00:47:26 They are at the Field Museum
00:47:30 Even now, if you dare lock eyes
