1. I think he's
starting to pack it in.
Copy !req
2. Now, Stephen.
Copy !req
3. Two hours, 20
minutes, 53 and 1/5th seconds.
Copy !req
4. Six and a half minutes
longer than Wednesday's test,
Copy !req
5. about 12 minutes longer
than the one before that.
Copy !req
6. It's remarkable how regular
Copy !req
7. the increase appears to be, isn't it?
Copy !req
8. It'll be interesting to see what happens
Copy !req
9. when its expectation of removal is
Copy !req
10. countered by its physical limits.
Copy !req
11. Shouldn't take too much longer.
Copy !req
12. Shall I schedule
the tank for Monday, Doctor?
Copy !req
13. Same procedure as last time.
Copy !req
14. And oh yes, Stephen,
Cambridge are anxious for us
Copy !req
15. to go ahead with the
social deprivation series.
Copy !req
16. We do have a monkey set
aside for that, don't we?
Copy !req
17. Just waiting for the go-ahead.
Copy !req
18. Right, then, get it
into the cylinder this evening.
Copy !req
19. Oh, and that tank, Stephen,
Copy !req
20. have it cleaned out will you please.
Copy !req
21. Ah, well that's for thee there.
Copy !req
22. Now, get ya down.
Copy !req
23. Here poor lad.
Copy !req
24. You're not still getting nowhere?
Copy !req
25. Hey, what's this?
Copy !req
26. Poor little bugger.
Copy !req
27. Too much for you, was it?
Copy !req
28. Harry, Harry?
Copy !req
29. Hello.
Copy !req
30. You still mucking about in there?
Copy !req
31. Right.
Copy !req
32. Well I'm going into Coniston for a pint.
Copy !req
33. Can't you loan me the car?
Copy !req
34. Aye, alright.
Copy !req
35. Just a few more packets here and I'm done.
Copy !req
36. Oh.
Copy !req
37. Can't keep me awaitin' forever.
Copy !req
38. Just comin'.
Copy !req
39. Rowf.
Copy !req
40. Come back.
Copy !req
41. I can't do it.
Copy !req
42. I'll fight.
Copy !req
43. I'll tear their white coats.
Copy !req
44. Damned white coats.
Copy !req
45. It's not the white coats,
Rowf, it's me, Snitter.
Copy !req
46. Listen, the door is not a wall anymore.
Copy !req
47. The tobacco-man lit it with his matches.
Copy !req
48. Can you smell it burning?
Copy !req
49. I can't stand the water anymore.
Copy !req
50. When I shut my eyes,
the water comes again.
Copy !req
51. How do you get out, do you drink it?
Copy !req
52. Or does the Sun dry it out, or what?
Copy !req
53. I don't know.
Copy !req
54. I hate it, Snitter.
Copy !req
55. The water's terrible.
Copy !req
56. The wire's loose here, Rowf.
Copy !req
57. Along the bottom.
Copy !req
58. If I put my nose under it, I
might be able to get through.
Copy !req
59. Why do they do it, Snitter?
Copy !req
60. I'm not a bad dog.
Copy !req
61. I don't think they do it because
Copy !req
62. they think you're bad, Rowf.
Copy !req
63. Do you think you're the only one
Copy !req
64. who hates this damn place?
Copy !req
65. Rowf, now I remember.
Copy !req
66. That's why I came.
Copy !req
67. The door in your pen's unfastened.
Copy !req
68. We can go through it, Rowf.
Copy !req
69. - They'd only bring us back.
- We can do it.
Copy !req
70. We can get out of here.
Copy !req
71. It's safe in here.
Copy !req
72. I don't mean out of your
kennel, I mean out of here.
Copy !req
73. The whole place.
Copy !req
74. We can do it.
Copy !req
75. It's bad out there.
Copy !req
76. Bad?
Copy !req
77. Think of the water.
Copy !req
78. What could be worse than that?
Copy !req
79. Hours of struggling in the
metal water with the white coats
Copy !req
80. peering down into the tank, watching you.
Copy !req
81. And one day you won't get out.
Copy !req
82. They'll let you drown.
Copy !req
83. They say, go in the water, I'll...
Copy !req
84. They're not masters.
Copy !req
85. I had a master once, and I know whatever
Copy !req
86. the white coats are, they are not masters.
Copy !req
87. Where are you going?
Copy !req
88. How did you get loose?
Copy !req
89. And what's that on your head?
Copy !req
90. It's smells of the stuff the white
Copy !req
91. coats put over everything.
Copy !req
92. The white coats made me better.
Copy !req
93. First they made me ill, and
then they made me better.
Copy !req
94. I've been ill, you know.
- Look, flat face.
Copy !req
95. How does the tobacco-man
go through that door?
Copy !req
96. He is usually carrying things.
Copy !req
97. And he pushes it with
his shoulder or his foot,
Copy !req
98. and then edges through sideways.
Copy !req
99. Let me tell you what
happened when I was ill.
Copy !req
100. First of all, the white
coats made me better,
Copy !req
101. as I said and then they made me worse.
Copy !req
102. I didn't know whether
I was coming or going.
Copy !req
103. First I was well, then I was ill.
Copy !req
104. I was in a total state of confusion.
Copy !req
105. Don't jump at it, Rowf.
Copy !req
106. Just push.
Copy !req
107. That's it.
Copy !req
108. There must be some
reason, mustn't there?
Copy !req
109. It must do some sort of good.
Copy !req
110. Some terrible sort of disease in there.
Copy !req
111. That's what the smell's about.
Copy !req
112. Leave it spilt, old Rowf.
Copy !req
113. Let it trickle away.
Copy !req
114. It's made the floor sharp,
Copy !req
115. and the blood will run out of your nose.
Copy !req
116. Come on.
Copy !req
117. Mud and rain, gutters and leaves' smell.
Copy !req
118. No good, though.
Copy !req
119. Won't get through here.
Copy !req
120. It's cold, my feet are cold.
Copy !req
121. Something's been burnt in there.
Copy !req
122. It's a death place.
Copy !req
123. Bones, hair.
Copy !req
124. They must burn creatures in there.
Copy !req
125. Fresh air, Rowf.
Copy !req
126. Sheep, rain I can smell
it underneath the ashes.
Copy !req
127. In there?
Copy !req
128. Smells come through cracks, dogs don't.
Copy !req
129. Outside, don't you see?
Copy !req
130. Past the burnt smell.
Copy !req
131. Snitter.
Copy !req
132. Are you hurt, old Rowf?
Copy !req
133. I was afraid I'd never get through.
Copy !req
134. Alright now.
Copy !req
135. This is your idea of fresh air and rain?
Copy !req
136. Snitter, stay.
Copy !req
137. It's that
terrier, it was its fault.
Copy !req
138. The dog killed him.
Copy !req
139. Wake up, Rowf, we've got to get on.
Copy !req
140. Not yet, I'm tired.
Copy !req
141. It's warm in here.
Copy !req
142. This is where it's coming from.
Copy !req
143. Fresh air, Rowf.
Copy !req
144. Bloody hell is all this?
Copy !req
145. Glass everywhere.
Copy !req
146. - Here...
- Rowf, we can't stay here.
Copy !req
147. The white coats will find us.
Copy !req
148. We've got to get out.
Copy !req
149. There isn't any out.
Copy !req
150. Yes there is.
Copy !req
151. You can smell it out there.
Copy !req
152. We could be free.
Copy !req
153. Go on, Rowf, go on.
Copy !req
154. Get on, Rowf, fast.
Copy !req
155. Come on, light, damn it.
Copy !req
156. What's the matter with the thing?
Copy !req
157. Damn this place, damn the white coats.
Copy !req
158. Damn you all!
Copy !req
159. You bit me.
Copy !req
160. I bit you?
Copy !req
161. I didn't.
Copy !req
162. Really, I didn't.
Copy !req
163. You did.
Copy !req
164. You've hurt me.
Copy !req
165. Get up and come with me, old Rowf.
Copy !req
166. We're free.
Copy !req
167. They've taken everything away.
Copy !req
168. The houses, the roads
cars, pavement, the lot.
Copy !req
169. How did they do it Rowf?
Copy !req
170. The white coats
must've changed it,
Copy !req
171. so they could do something
or other to animals.
Copy !req
172. My master never
used to do anything to me.
Copy !req
173. I don't want to
hear about your master.
Copy !req
174. When I was
at home, my master...
Copy !req
175. Aren't you listening to me?
Copy !req
176. Masters are different, Rowf.
Copy !req
177. You will see what I mean
when we've found one.
Copy !req
178. Suppose there aren't any
masters left, what then?
Copy !req
179. There must be.
Copy !req
180. It's just that I wasn't expecting this.
Copy !req
181. Look, Rowf, look.
Copy !req
182. Everything's so still in there.
Copy !req
183. If I was in there, covered
over, my head would be cool.
Copy !req
184. Things would keep still.
Copy !req
185. If you fall in, they won't let you out.
Copy !req
186. Well, it's better out
here than in the pens.
Copy !req
187. Isn't it Rowf?
Copy !req
188. When are we gonna eat?
Copy !req
189. I'm hungry.
Copy !req
190. The flies in my head they keep buzzing.
Copy !req
191. Feels like smoke.
Copy !req
192. Look, how the wind sends the
leaves running across the sky.
Copy !req
193. There are the houses.
Copy !req
194. I knew they couldn't have gone far.
Copy !req
195. Come on Rowf, we're alright now.
Copy !req
196. Go on, get out ya bugger, get out!
Copy !req
197. Away with ya.
Copy !req
198. You spoiled it, Rowf.
Copy !req
199. You've got to treat them properly
Copy !req
200. if you want to get anything from them.
Copy !req
201. Did he hit you with that stone?
Copy !req
202. No.
Copy !req
203. If he had, I'd have really gone for him.
Copy !req
204. You mustn't rootle about in dustbins,
Copy !req
205. however nice they smell.
Copy !req
206. Not if masters are anywhere near.
Copy !req
207. Makes them angry for some reason.
Copy !req
208. The proper thing, if you want
to get food out of a man,
Copy !req
209. is to go and make friends first.
Copy !req
210. Then, he gives you something.
Copy !req
211. You do the man before the food.
Copy !req
212. Not after.
Copy !req
213. Look, there's a shop.
Copy !req
214. A shop.
Copy !req
215. You know, where they keep
meat, and biscuits, and things.
Copy !req
216. Now, watch me, Rowf.
Copy !req
217. And remember do the man first.
Copy !req
218. Hey, a dog with a cap on.
Copy !req
219. Oh why, look at that.
Copy !req
220. - White coats.
- It was a white coats place?
Copy !req
221. Maybe the towns are all white coats.
Copy !req
222. I must've made a mistake.
Copy !req
223. It looked like a shop.
Copy !req
224. One of them had a knife.
Copy !req
225. They must cut them up on
those glass tables in there.
Copy !req
226. Why has everything changed so much?
Copy !req
227. Rowf.
Copy !req
228. I'm blind.
Copy !req
229. Rowf, the truck's coming.
Copy !req
230. The truck's coming.
Copy !req
231. Been run over, do you think?
Copy !req
232. Nay, not run over.
Copy !req
233. It's been to the vet, look
at the dressing on its head.
Copy !req
234. Ought to be inside somewhere,
by rights, must've got out.
Copy !req
235. It's got this green collar, Jack.
Copy !req
236. Nothing on it but a number.
Copy !req
237. Let's put it in the back of the
car and get it off the road.
Copy !req
238. Bloody hell.
Copy !req
239. I told you, Snitter.
Copy !req
240. I told you, you think you you
know everything about men.
Copy !req
241. They were trying to help me.
Copy !req
242. They were masters.
Copy !req
243. It was my head all on
fire, I couldn't see.
Copy !req
244. They were white coats, they
were gonna take you back.
Copy !req
245. Are you alright?
Copy !req
246. I think.
Copy !req
247. Yes, I think so.
Copy !req
248. Aye, there's two of them gone.
Copy !req
249. I thought I better let thee
know, like, first thing.
Copy !req
250. You said all the
doors and windows were locked.
Copy !req
251. There's just no other way
they could've got out.
Copy !req
252. Well, they'll not have gone far.
Copy !req
253. Last time they were fed was Friday night.
Copy !req
254. So they'll have to get
some grub somewhere.
Copy !req
255. If they've been chasing
sheep out fell an' all,
Copy !req
256. that'd be a right do, that would.
Copy !req
257. That's offense against the law, ya know.
Copy !req
258. Being in possession of a
dog that worries sheep.
Copy !req
259. Rowf.
Copy !req
260. Look, take a good look.
Copy !req
261. I was right, I told you.
Copy !req
262. That, Rowf, is a master.
Copy !req
263. A real master of dogs.
Copy !req
264. We'll do what they're doing.
Copy !req
265. Don't you see?
Copy !req
266. And then the man will
take us home with him.
Copy !req
267. Oh, what luck.
Copy !req
268. My master used to throw sticks, or a ball.
Copy !req
269. They like you to run about and do things.
Copy !req
270. Well, this man uses sheep
instead of sticks, that's all.
Copy !req
271. We'll show 'em, Rowf.
Copy !req
272. We'll show 'em.
Copy !req
273. What the hell art thou playin' at?
Copy !req
274. Art thou stark bloody mad, or what?
Copy !req
275. - We just need a master.
- Just need a master?
Copy !req
276. Of all the...
Copy !req
277. Art thou out of thou minds,
chasing yows up an' down fell?
Copy !req
278. Snappin' an' bitin'.
Copy !req
279. Where's thy farm at?
Copy !req
280. Where's thy master?
Copy !req
281. Thy's nipped yon yow too, the bastard.
Copy !req
282. It's bleedin'.
Copy !req
283. Lay off, you don't own this place.
Copy !req
284. Don't own it?
Copy !req
285. Then I'd like to know who bloody does.
Copy !req
286. Hey Wag, he says we don't own fell 'ere.
Copy !req
287. Bloody cheek.
Copy !req
288. What they reckon they're up to, then?
Copy !req
289. What're you up to, then?
Copy !req
290. Gatherin', you daft sod.
Copy !req
291. Seekin' wooled sheep, of course.
Copy !req
292. An' then they comes
down like bloody bulls,
Copy !req
293. and spoils half hour's good work.
Copy !req
294. Aye, they'll be tourists.
Copy !req
295. Thee, with yon patch on the
head where's thy master at?
Copy !req
296. Has he been hurt and thee run away?
Copy !req
297. We haven't a master.
Copy !req
298. We thought, maybe your master...
Copy !req
299. He'll fill thee with lead,
he will, worrying sheep.
Copy !req
300. We were only
doing the same as them.
Copy !req
301. Don, come back here.
Copy !req
302. Wag, come back here.
Copy !req
303. We better get out of here.
Copy !req
304. They belonged where they were.
Copy !req
305. You could smell it.
Copy !req
306. No white coat does anything to them.
Copy !req
307. But what are we going to do, Rowf?
Copy !req
308. This isn't the world I left when
Copy !req
309. I was sold to the white coats.
Copy !req
310. Must've changed when I killed my master.
Copy !req
311. Everything I do turns out wrong.
Copy !req
312. You would kill me, wouldn't you?
Copy !req
313. Rowf?
Copy !req
314. I mean, if they try to take us back.
Copy !req
315. What're you talking about?
Copy !req
316. You're getting crazier all the time.
Copy !req
317. We would've been fed by now, wouldn't we?
Copy !req
318. We couldn't even find our
way back to the white coats.
Copy !req
319. I mean, supposing we wanted to.
Copy !req
320. Do you want to go back?
Copy !req
321. I don't know.
Copy !req
322. There's nothing up here.
Copy !req
323. I don't anyone's been up
here since it was made.
Copy !req
324. Well, the white coats
won't come up here, anyway.
Copy !req
325. No, they won't come up here.
Copy !req
326. But neither will your master.
Copy !req
327. My master can't anymore.
Copy !req
328. Rowf, if we don't find
food soon, we'll die.
Copy !req
329. I'm not gonna die.
Copy !req
330. Not without a fight.
Copy !req
331. Who are you going to fight?
Copy !req
332. There's no one here.
Copy !req
333. I'll fight this.
Copy !req
334. But we'll have to change.
Copy !req
335. Change, change to what?
Copy !req
336. To what we used to be.
Copy !req
337. Real animals, wild animals.
Copy !req
338. We'll find food.
Copy !req
339. We'll live by our teeth, and kill.
Copy !req
340. That's what we'll do.
Copy !req
341. Kill.
Copy !req
342. Those sheep belonged to that man.
Copy !req
343. Then this one must, too.
Copy !req
344. We must get away.
Copy !req
345. And leave this?
Copy !req
346. We can finish it off later.
Copy !req
347. Come on.
Copy !req
348. Where?
Copy !req
349. I don't know, down there.
Copy !req
350. Into that valley.
Copy !req
351. Slowly, Snitter, I'm sore all over.
Copy !req
352. That sheep battered me to bits.
Copy !req
353. It's most unfortunate.
Copy !req
354. I still can't quite
understand how it happened.
Copy !req
355. As far as I can make out,
Copy !req
356. there was a length of wire netting loose,
Copy !req
357. and 815 must've got under
sometime that night.
Copy !req
358. But if the door had been fastened
Copy !req
359. it wouldn't open of its
own accord, would it?
Copy !req
360. It is possible, that Tyson didn't
Copy !req
361. shut the door properly, of course.
Copy !req
362. They couldn't have gotten into
Copy !req
363. Dr. Goodner's section, could they?
Copy !req
364. No, no, no,
we're quite sure of that.
Copy !req
365. That was the first place I checked.
Copy !req
366. I've spoken to Dr. Goodner,
and he's sure that...
Copy !req
367. Yes, well,
that's something, anyway.
Copy !req
368. I can't, Snitter.
Copy !req
369. You better go on.
Copy !req
370. I've had enough.
Copy !req
371. Maybe I'll feel better later.
Copy !req
372. But if you stay here, Rowf in the open...
Copy !req
373. Might as well lie here as anywhere.
Copy !req
374. Where are we going, anyway?
Copy !req
375. I've got to stop, Snitter.
Copy !req
376. My leg hurts.
Copy !req
377. Rowf, listen, listen to me.
Copy !req
378. Go away, leave me alone.
Copy !req
379. I have found a place, Rowf.
Copy !req
380. A sort of house, secret.
Copy !req
381. Dry, out of the rain.
Copy !req
382. They won't find us there.
Copy !req
383. Man must've made it.
Copy !req
384. No, no, Rowf, I'm sure
I've found something good.
Copy !req
385. How can anything be
good in a place like this?
Copy !req
386. Come, see.
Copy !req
387. Wouldn't there be a chance?
Copy !req
388. Just a chance?
Copy !req
389. This goes a long way in.
Copy !req
390. No one will be able to find us, ever.
Copy !req
391. There's no smell of man.
Copy !req
392. Maybe you're right, Snitter.
Copy !req
393. It does seem safe.
Copy !req
394. Look at the clouds, Rowf.
Copy !req
395. They never go backward, do they?
Copy !req
396. They go only one way.
Copy !req
397. They must be starving by now.
Copy !req
398. Suppose they start worrying sheep?
Copy !req
399. Well, then some
farmer will shoot them.
Copy !req
400. Or realize where they're
from and get onto us.
Copy !req
401. In which case we'll only have to pacify
Copy !req
402. one local instead of the whole district.
Copy !req
403. Damn shame though.
Copy !req
404. All that work on those
dogs, gone for nothing.
Copy !req
405. God almighty.
Copy !req
406. They've left little enough.
Copy !req
407. It's not just them.
Copy !req
408. Some other creature's been at it.
Copy !req
409. You're right.
Copy !req
410. I can smell it.
Copy !req
411. I don't know what it is, but
it makes me angry somehow.
Copy !req
412. - It's not here now.
- Yes, it is.
Copy !req
413. Lurking about, watching.
Copy !req
414. I can feel it.
Copy !req
415. Stay where you are, I mean it.
Copy !req
416. Now wait now, kidda.
Copy !req
417. No need for you an' me to start battlin'.
Copy !req
418. Where'd you get that crack
on your head, bonny lad?
Copy !req
419. The road was black and
white, and then the truck came
Copy !req
420. and lightning shot down my head.
Copy !req
421. It is a dog, isn't it?
Copy !req
422. He's a thief.
Copy !req
423. Now, give ower.
Copy !req
424. Let's all be mates, no need for a barney.
Copy !req
425. Stick with me, and we'll all be jumpin'.
Copy !req
426. Else you'll soon be dead.
Copy !req
427. - Dead?
- Aye, dead.
Copy !req
428. And no argument about it.
Copy !req
429. - We're not about to die.
- No?
Copy !req
430. Why hinny, you've got no chance at all.
Copy !req
431. I've been watchin' ya the
last two days, ye'll not last.
Copy !req
432. Hollerin' yer heads off,
racin' about the fell.
Copy !req
433. What do you mean, what're you saying?
Copy !req
434. Just a proposition, bonny lads.
Copy !req
435. If you'll hunt an' kill with me,
Copy !req
436. I'll keep you right and
you'll get your meat.
Copy !req
437. You'll run through the
night and follow me feet.
Copy !req
438. I don't understand a word he's saying.
Copy !req
439. He's saying he'll show
us how to live out here,
Copy !req
440. if we let him share what we kill.
Copy !req
441. Aye, laddie, that's it.
Copy !req
442. Why, you'll have no bother with me.
Copy !req
443. I'm a delicate eater.
Copy !req
444. I don't naught but pick at me meat.
Copy !req
445. He'll cheat us and run
away when it suits him.
Copy !req
446. Bloody thief, that's what he is.
Copy !req
447. Well, we've nothing to lose.
Copy !req
448. He's a sharp one, Rowf.
Copy !req
449. If you're still here when it's light
Copy !req
450. we'll decide what to do then.
Copy !req
451. Ah, now you're talking sense.
Copy !req
452. Keep a tight ahold of your
meat, an' good luck go with you.
Copy !req
453. - What do you call yourself?
- I'm the Tod.
Copy !req
454. Tod, you know, canniest
Tod on moss an' moor.
Copy !req
455. We wanted to help
them, but they drove us away.
Copy !req
456. It's hard to find food.
Copy !req
457. It's not like having a master.
Copy !req
458. Even the white coats fed us.
Copy !req
459. Snitter wanted to find
some man who'd take us
Copy !req
460. to his house, and look after us.
Copy !req
461. I told him it was a silly thing to expect.
Copy !req
462. You're right, laddie.
Copy !req
463. Guns an' dogs an' traps an' all.
Copy !req
464. Have you ever had
anything to do with men?
Copy !req
465. Aye, now and again.
Copy !req
466. But as a rule, as little as possible.
Copy !req
467. You'd be loose in the head to
seek out the likes of them.
Copy !req
468. Live as a wild animal.
Copy !req
469. That's what I mean to do.
Copy !req
470. Oh aye, without me, bonny lad?
Copy !req
471. If you go the way you're goin',
Copy !req
472. you'll have no more than three mornings.
Copy !req
473. I've not seen a dafter pair.
Copy !req
474. Lyin' flat out on the fell, as like there
Copy !req
475. was neither dogs nor shepard about.
Copy !req
476. You kills his sheep, bolts it down,
Copy !req
477. keeps away for a spell
an' comes back like cubs.
Copy !req
478. You pair of daft twits.
Copy !req
479. But mind, you pull yon
yow down clever, though.
Copy !req
480. By hinny, you're a hard one.
Copy !req
481. I'm still bruised all over.
Copy !req
482. Laddie, there's ways
of gettin' stuck in hard,
Copy !req
483. an' ways of duckin' out.
Copy !req
484. With me beside you, a great hard bugger
Copy !req
485. like you would have no bother at all.
Copy !req
486. You'll sharp learn the ways.
Copy !req
487. Do you kill sheep, then?
Copy !req
488. Well, maybe a wee lamb in the
spring, if the chance comes.
Copy !req
489. But you could take care of any size.
Copy !req
490. Come to that, you could both be dab hands.
Copy !req
491. And you think you could
help us to live out here?
Copy !req
492. Aye, us Tods we're used to runnin'
Copy !req
493. till the dark comes, anyway.
Copy !req
494. The Dark?
Copy !req
495. What's the dark?
Copy !req
496. That's the place when
you stop runnin' for good.
Copy !req
497. And unless I'm along, that
would be in no time at all.
Copy !req
498. What do you mean,
I won't have to kill it?
Copy !req
499. No need to, hinny.
Copy !req
500. But it'll be movin' sharply,
Copy !req
501. so you'll have to watch yourself.
Copy !req
502. You don't want to go down with it.
Copy !req
503. It'll be coming up as
fast as we can drive it.
Copy !req
504. Do you think you can do it?
Copy !req
505. Ah, don't worry, you'll manage canny.
Copy !req
506. Snitter?
Copy !req
507. Well done, Snitter.
Copy !req
508. How far down do you think it is?
Copy !req
509. A canny way down but better than
Copy !req
510. getting bashed about, isn't it?
Copy !req
511. What's happened to you?
Copy !req
512. What do you mean?
Copy !req
513. Your head.
Copy !req
514. It's just a hole.
Copy !req
515. Not all that strange, not really.
Copy !req
516. Holes after all, I've seen
holes in cars, and pipes,
Copy !req
517. you know, running under the road?
Copy !req
518. Of course, that was before the truck came.
Copy !req
519. Time we were goin' down.
Copy !req
520. You'll be no doubt hungered like me.
Copy !req
521. You see?
Copy !req
522. There's nothing to it, lad.
Copy !req
523. The next one will be yours.
Copy !req
524. Now go on, lad, don't wanna hang about.
Copy !req
525. If you muzzle them
then it's ridiculous you see?
Copy !req
526. There's some bloody
beast or other living up there.
Copy !req
527. There is that.
Copy !req
528. Two sheep inside eight or nine days.
Copy !req
529. Where'd ya find 'em?
Copy !req
530. First one were almost at the top.
Copy !req
531. But it's real steep and
it were two year old.
Copy !req
532. Not an old one, Bob.
Copy !req
533. I saw its teeth an' all.
Copy !req
534. Two other were out by
town, near Rough Ground.
Copy !req
535. They were both the bloody same.
Copy !req
536. Pulled to pieces.
Copy !req
537. No fox could've done it.
Copy !req
538. That'll be dog then, bloody hell.
Copy !req
539. Have you got no brains in
your head, you great nit?
Copy !req
540. As soon as me back's turned,
then you're bloody up an'...
Copy !req
541. Could you not wait till I tell ye?
Copy !req
542. You great stupid...
- What's the matter, Tod?
Copy !req
543. What did he do?
- What did he do?
Copy !req
544. Kill out in the open, right
on the shepherd's trod,
Copy !req
545. clottin' the place up with blood.
Copy !req
546. Do you think he's blind?
Copy !req
547. You're for it, tinny.
Copy !req
548. You're arse will be inside out by mornin'.
Copy !req
549. I'm not bidin' with
you lot, me, I'm goin'.
Copy !req
550. But where are you going?
Copy !req
551. Oh, I'm just goin' to
bark at the farmer's door.
Copy !req
552. Maybe he'll let me shove
me head up his gun.
Copy !req
553. Save a lot of bother that will.
Copy !req
554. Tod, Tod, wait.
Copy !req
555. Let him go.
Copy !req
556. Good riddance.
Copy !req
557. I was just wondering what it
would be like to have a master.
Copy !req
558. The kind you talk about.
Copy !req
559. But there's no one, only us.
Copy !req
560. The Dark that Tod talks
about, it's all around us.
Copy !req
561. I can feel it.
Copy !req
562. Good morning, George.
Copy !req
563. Alright, go on, out you get.
Copy !req
564. Not too early for you?
Copy !req
565. Too early, it's always too early.
Copy !req
566. How are you, alright?
Copy !req
567. I'm alright.
Copy !req
568. I'll be a damn sight better
Copy !req
569. if we can get this business over with.
Copy !req
570. Give us a bite now, kidda.
Copy !req
571. There'll be naught left.
Copy !req
572. You're quick enough to come
crawling around for a piece.
Copy !req
573. Now hang on, lad.
Copy !req
574. I've come back to tell
you to lop off sharp.
Copy !req
575. The farmers are down in the
valley, headin' this way.
Copy !req
576. Dogs all over the place.
Copy !req
577. And they've got guns.
Copy !req
578. How is it doing to end?
Copy !req
579. Running around these mountains?
Copy !req
580. We've got to go, Rowf.
Copy !req
581. The Tod's right.
Copy !req
582. We're wild animals now.
Copy !req
583. Are we goin' now, or do I go me self?
Copy !req
584. And you'd best be sharp.
Copy !req
585. Maybe what they're doing to us is right.
Copy !req
586. I'm a good dog, Snitter.
Copy !req
587. You're no dog at all, now.
Copy !req
588. You're a sheep killer.
Copy !req
589. And they'll blast your arse out, hinny.
Copy !req
590. No trouble.
Copy !req
591. I tell you, we best be off or you'll both
Copy !req
592. be dead or dying inside half an hour.
Copy !req
593. Look at that.
Copy !req
594. Yeah, that's dog, alright.
Copy !req
595. Maybe, I'm not certain.
Copy !req
596. Well, that proves it.
Copy !req
597. Bastards.
Copy !req
598. They're shifty, and they
know their way about.
Copy !req
599. They got away going through
that oldest used mine.
Copy !req
600. The one near Leaver's house.
Copy !req
601. Bloody irresponsible, it is,
letting dogs loose on fell.
Copy !req
602. I just had an idea, Dennis.
Copy !req
603. Wasn't old Larry Tyson saying
something about lost dogs?
Copy !req
604. He's over at Coniston, isn't he?
Copy !req
605. In the research station?
- Ah, that's right, he is.
Copy !req
606. Coniston's government controlled.
Copy !req
607. Government department responsible
for sheep killing dogs?
Copy !req
608. Be real embarrassing, that would.
Copy !req
609. They'd not like it at all.
Copy !req
610. Not at all.
Copy !req
611. It's plenty a good
save I was stuck in court.
Copy !req
612. Well it's a serious matter, Harry.
Copy !req
613. He's sheep killin', and
there's no doubt they're dogs.
Copy !req
614. Can't be nothing else, living
systematically off the sheep.
Copy !req
615. But the boss at
the lab says they're nothin'.
Copy !req
616. And them that pays the
piper, goes the tune.
Copy !req
617. Can I help you?
Copy !req
618. I'm ringing to ask
Copy !req
619. if you're missin' any dogs.
Copy !req
620. Could you tell me a
little more about this, Mister...
Copy !req
621. My name is Williamson.
Copy !req
622. I farm sheep up Dunnerdale way.
Copy !req
623. How do you come to be asking us?
Copy !req
624. There's sheep
Copy !req
625. being killed in Dunnerdale.
Copy !req
626. Three of four of 'em and
I'm not the only farmer,
Copy !req
627. who reckons it's stray dogs.
Copy !req
628. Now, I'm just asking for a straight
Copy !req
629. answer to a straight question.
Copy !req
630. Have you lost any dogs?
Copy !req
631. I'm sorry, I
can't tell you straight
Copy !req
632. off the cuff, Mr. Williamson, but if I...
Copy !req
633. There must be somebody there
Copy !req
634. who knows how many dogs you've got.
Copy !req
635. May I ring you back?
Copy !req
636. I hope it'll be soon
Copy !req
637. as some chaps here have
to work for a living.
Copy !req
638. Down there, that yow.
Copy !req
639. We'll fell that one.
Copy !req
640. Telling this Williamson
that we have nothing to say
Copy !req
641. was exactly the right line to take.
Copy !req
642. He's gonna think
that's very suspicious.
Copy !req
643. And what about Tyson?
Copy !req
644. I've already
had a word with Tyson,
Copy !req
645. and the most he can say, if he's asked
Copy !req
646. is that two pens were found empty.
Copy !req
647. You think Williamson's
going to accept that?
Copy !req
648. I don't think
we're under any obligation
Copy !req
649. to answer that farmer's questions.
Copy !req
650. If he thinks evil, let him prove evil.
Copy !req
651. If he can.
Copy !req
652. Come on, then.
Copy !req
653. That's a good fella.
Copy !req
654. Come on.
Copy !req
655. Yes, that's it.
Copy !req
656. Come on, boy.
Copy !req
657. Good.
Copy !req
658. Who did that to you?
Copy !req
659. Come on then.
Copy !req
660. Yes, that's it.
Copy !req
661. Come on boy, come on.
Copy !req
662. That's a good fella.
Copy !req
663. Come on, up we go.
Copy !req
664. There he is,
that's one of the buggers.
Copy !req
665. - Sneaky sods.
- Are they looking for us?
Copy !req
666. Who else?
Copy !req
667. Let's away now, an' stop yer yammerin'.
Copy !req
668. Not without Snitter.
Copy !req
669. If they're hunting the valley
for us, Snitter's in danger.
Copy !req
670. That may be, hinny.
Copy !req
671. But that looks like real trouble.
Copy !req
672. - Ackland here.
- Mr. Ackland
Copy !req
673. I wonder if you'd consider
doing a small job for me?
Copy !req
674. Who's this I'm talking to?
Copy !req
675. Boycott, Dr. Robert Boycott.
Copy !req
676. I'm with the Lawson Park
Experimental Station, in Coniston.
Copy !req
677. Oh
aye, what kind of job?
Copy !req
678. Well, I understand
Copy !req
679. that there are two dogs,
Copy !req
680. that have worrying
sheep up near Thirlmere.
Copy !req
681. If you have the time, I'd be
most grateful if you could
Copy !req
682. see your way clear to ensuring that
Copy !req
683. they they don't do anymore damage.
Copy !req
684. Rowf.
Copy !req
685. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
686. I've been searching
for the past two days.
Copy !req
687. What happened to you?
Copy !req
688. Didn't you hear it?
Copy !req
689. I mean, when the air all blew to pieces.
Copy !req
690. I know it's my fault,
Copy !req
691. but I didn't do it on purpose.
Copy !req
692. What blew to pieces?
Copy !req
693. What're you talking about?
Copy !req
694. We're dead, you and I.
Copy !req
695. I've killed us both.
Copy !req
696. I've destroyed everything.
Copy !req
697. Now, calm down and tell me everything.
Copy !req
698. I was coming back and all the grass
Copy !req
699. and stones in my head were very loud.
Copy !req
700. Sort of humming, like a strong wind.
Copy !req
701. And I was on a road like last time.
Copy !req
702. He called me, and smiled.
Copy !req
703. And I went to him and
everything smashed to pieces.
Copy !req
704. I smashed it like I did the other time.
Copy !req
705. It all comes from me, Rowf.
Copy !req
706. Out of my head.
Copy !req
707. I killed that man, like
I killed my master.
Copy !req
708. That's why we're here now, like this.
Copy !req
709. We'll be punished, Rowf.
Copy !req
710. They can't do anything worse
Copy !req
711. than they've done already.
Copy !req
712. Everything bad comes out of my head.
Copy !req
713. Don't you see?
Copy !req
714. Perhaps dying, even dying doesn't stop it.
Copy !req
715. I don't understand what
you're saying but as for dying,
Copy !req
716. I'll fight before I'm killed.
Copy !req
717. They'll shoot you, Rowf
when they come with guns.
Copy !req
718. The noise breaks the world to bits.
Copy !req
719. If we send someone up there now,
Copy !req
720. we'll have a national exclusive.
Copy !req
721. Oh, I'm sure we
can do a big number on it
Copy !req
722. exclusive from our reporter
in Cumberland, et cetera.
Copy !req
723. All that, and then the whole
thing folds in the middle.
Copy !req
724. We could look very foolish.
Copy !req
725. Suppose a farmer
shoots the dog next week.
Copy !req
726. - That'll be the end of it.
- That's not the point.
Copy !req
727. In the first place, half
the conservation groups
Copy !req
728. in the country were opposed to the lab
Copy !req
729. being set up in a national park.
Copy !req
730. Secondly, no one has the teeniest idea
Copy !req
731. what on Earth it is that
they're doing there anyway.
Copy !req
732. Do any of you?
Copy !req
733. No.
Copy !req
734. Now there's talk of sheep killing,
Copy !req
735. and a member of the local gentry
Copy !req
736. gets himself shot by the dog.
Copy !req
737. Ah, but was there a dog
Copy !req
738. involved in the shooting at all?
Copy !req
739. There were muddy paw
marks on him, and dog hair.
Copy !req
740. I've got a feeling about this one.
Copy !req
741. Get someone up there right away.
Copy !req
742. Today, in fact.
Copy !req
743. Vera, are you awake?
Copy !req
744. Yes I am, did
you hear that noise?
Copy !req
745. Do you think it's a
sheep got in at the back?
Copy !req
746. I can't tell, eh, wait a minute.
Copy !req
747. Hey, it's two dogs down there.
Copy !req
748. They're pulling the
rubbish all over the place.
Copy !req
749. Oh, what a nuisance.
- But whose dogs are they?
Copy !req
750. I've not seen them before.
Copy !req
751. Lord save us, what ever
Copy !req
752. happened to that little one?
Copy !req
753. It's head, look, it's almost cut in two.
Copy !req
754. Did you ever see anything like it?
Copy !req
755. Look, the other one, the big one.
Copy !req
756. Did you remember what Dennis said?
Copy !req
757. That must be
the dog that killed poor
Copy !req
758. Mr. Chetwind down at Cockley Beck.
Copy !req
759. Don't go down, Vera.
- I am going down.
Copy !req
760. I'm not hiding indoors
while a couple of stray dogs
Copy !req
761. pull rubbish up and down the yard.
Copy !req
762. Be off with ya and go on!
Copy !req
763. Will you get out of here?
Copy !req
764. Go on, go on, out.
Copy !req
765. I don't think this one's likely
Copy !req
766. to give any trouble, Vera.
Copy !req
767. Poor little thing, I think it's sick.
Copy !req
768. No wonder either, with that head.
Copy !req
769. Look at it.
Copy !req
770. Well it's frightened to death.
Copy !req
771. Here now, what's your name, then?
Copy !req
772. It might be best not to touch it
Copy !req
773. if there's something catching.
Copy !req
774. Especially if it's comes
from that research place.
Copy !req
775. We'll shut it in the shed
Copy !req
776. and telephone the police in Broughton.
Copy !req
777. They'll know what to do.
Copy !req
778. You lookin' for me?
Copy !req
779. The way you were runnin', I
thought your arse was afire.
Copy !req
780. Snitter's in bad trouble.
Copy !req
781. Your wee friend's still lost, is he?
Copy !req
782. Just come with me quickly, please.
Copy !req
783. We need you.
Copy !req
784. - Double zero five, go ahead.
- Falcon zero, zero, nine.
Copy !req
785. Snitter, can you hear me?
Copy !req
786. I'm inside my head now and
it's where I should be.
Copy !req
787. This is no time for one of your turns.
Copy !req
788. Come on out, you great fond fool.
Copy !req
789. Sharp with ya now,
before we're all caught.
Copy !req
790. I can't come out.
Copy !req
791. If I do, I'll go mad again.
Copy !req
792. Move yourself.
Copy !req
793. Sharp now, ya great nannyhammer.
Copy !req
794. Get out of the way.
Copy !req
795. Right in front of ya, that drain.
Copy !req
796. Follow it to the end.
Copy !req
797. That's the way out of the shed.
Copy !req
798. We keep fairly accurate
records of our animals.
Copy !req
799. I'm sure you do, sir.
Copy !req
800. Show this identification
before the matter request
Copy !req
801. as far as the laboratory is concerned.
Copy !req
802. If you'll just come through here, see.
Copy !req
803. Look, there, he's getting out!
Copy !req
804. Got him.
Copy !req
805. Why, the bugger bit me.
Copy !req
806. This
is Steven, go ahead.
Copy !req
807. Okay
Steven, 251, 050 area over.
Copy !req
808. 1251,
any other sign of them?
Copy !req
809. I'm so sorry
to keep you waiting.
Copy !req
810. Oh, it's alright.
Copy !req
811. Fill it up, please.
Copy !req
812. As a matter of fact
we've had a bit of a rumpus.
Copy !req
813. Quite a to-do, while it lasted.
Copy !req
814. Really?
Copy !req
815. Early this
morning some stray dogs
Copy !req
816. broke in and upset our dustbins.
Copy !req
817. Both the dogs had green collars.
Copy !req
818. And they say that means they come
Copy !req
819. from the Coniston research place.
Copy !req
820. We had one of them shut up in the shed.
Copy !req
821. And a young gentleman come over
Copy !req
822. from Coniston, with a policeman.
Copy !req
823. Positive identification, right.
Copy !req
824. But he got away.
- Yes of course.
Copy !req
825. The dog, I mean.
Copy !req
826. I must say though, oh,
won't the dogs come back?
Copy !req
827. We'll try to see, that they don't.
Copy !req
828. Their sheep killing's a nasty business.
Copy !req
829. I've been reading
about that in the paper.
Copy !req
830. Something about a man
being killed, wasn't there?
Copy !req
831. I still need to
get a proper look at them.
Copy !req
832. They both had green collars on.
Copy !req
833. Did you not see that one, as it was
Copy !req
834. pushing itself through the drain hole?
Copy !req
835. Kind of a terrier, it was,
with that terrible gash.
Copy !req
836. And I don't know where a dog could come
Copy !req
837. by such a cut-across
head as that terrier had
Copy !req
838. except by, well, by vivisection,
if that's the right word.
Copy !req
839. It was a terrible sight.
Copy !req
840. Well it had just about got away
Copy !req
841. by the time we got there.
Copy !req
842. So I really didn't get a good look.
Copy !req
843. I've got to stop by
station first Mr. Powell,
Copy !req
844. before I take it back to
Coniston, if that's alright.
Copy !req
845. I'm heading
towards Coniston, Mr. Powell.
Copy !req
846. I'd be happy to give you a lift.
Copy !req
847. Oh well,
that's very kind of you.
Copy !req
848. Thank you very much, Miss...
- Driver, Lynn Driver.
Copy !req
849. Away, now.
Copy !req
850. We've got to get the wee
fella back before night.
Copy !req
851. He'll manage well enough.
Copy !req
852. But if the
dogs were from the lab,
Copy !req
853. they couldn't have been in good
Copy !req
854. enough physical condition
to kill sheep, could they?
Copy !req
855. Well, I'm not so sure about that.
Copy !req
856. 732 was a biggish labrador, and strong.
Copy !req
857. We were doing some survival
endurance tests with it.
Copy !req
858. Doing fantastic times.
- And the other dog?
Copy !req
859. Well I wouldn't
think it's likely to be alive,
Copy !req
860. much less out killing sheep.
Copy !req
861. It had a pretty drastic operation
Copy !req
862. a short while before it escaped.
Copy !req
863. - What sort of operation?
- A brain operation.
Copy !req
864. Something quite new, I think.
Copy !req
865. Confusing the subjective with
Copy !req
866. the objective in the animal's mind.
Copy !req
867. I think that's right.
Copy !req
868. I wasn't all that involved in it.
Copy !req
869. Terrible waste, you know.
Copy !req
870. All that work down the drain.
Copy !req
871. Now we'll never know if it was successful.
Copy !req
872. I suppose
there are compensations.
Copy !req
873. Defense contracts?
Copy !req
874. Hush-hush stuff?
Copy !req
875. No, I don't
get that sort of work.
Copy !req
876. Goodner's the chap for that.
Copy !req
877. Far off, Tod.
Copy !req
878. Look.
- Out there.
Copy !req
879. That's the sea.
Copy !req
880. Have you never seen it before?
Copy !req
881. Salt and the weeds, it's all water there.
Copy !req
882. If only I could've stayed
inside my head this morning
Copy !req
883. I might've been able to
decide how to get there.
Copy !req
884. How to reach it.
Copy !req
885. It was the police, I had to go.
Copy !req
886. By going with
them, it looks as though
Copy !req
887. we're admitting our
connection with the matter.
Copy !req
888. Oh well, it can't be helped now.
Copy !req
889. Perhaps our best cause is to
make a short announcement,
Copy !req
890. acknowledging that two dogs have escaped.
Copy !req
891. Do you think that'll satisfy...
Copy !req
892. All they're concerned
with, is not getting involved.
Copy !req
893. They know the kind of work we do here.
Copy !req
894. If we prove to be an embarrassment
Copy !req
895. they'll drop us in a minute.
Copy !req
896. Lakeland
shopkeeper Phyllis Dawson
Copy !req
897. was awakened early yesterday by two dogs
Copy !req
898. which have recently been causing havoc
Copy !req
899. with farmers around Dunnerdale,
Copy !req
900. in the heart of the Lake District.
Copy !req
901. Scientist Stephen Powell,
hastening 18 miles
Copy !req
902. from the Lawson Park
Animal Research Station,
Copy !req
903. arrived too late to...
Copy !req
904. Accidental death?
Copy !req
905. Aw, well that's all he could've found.
Copy !req
906. Couldn't have found nothin'
else, Dennis, could he?
Copy !req
907. He never said nothin'
about a dog though, did he?
Copy !req
908. But it was a bloody dog, brought it about.
Copy !req
909. Well, coroner
couldn't bring that up.
Copy !req
910. No evidence.
Copy !req
911. And even if he had, they'd still call it
Copy !req
912. accidental death, wouldn't they?
Copy !req
913. Aye, but if the coroner had pinned
Copy !req
914. blame fair and square on the dogs
Copy !req
915. then the police should have somewhat.
Copy !req
916. Go out, find 'em and shoot 'em.
Copy !req
917. The way it's been left now,
Copy !req
918. we could lose a couple more sheep tonight,
Copy !req
919. and three next week and
nobody'd give a damn.
Copy !req
920. Are these dogs indeed a public danger,
Copy !req
921. as local farmers haughtily maintain
Copy !req
922. or are they wrongly blamed?
Copy !req
923. This is Lynn Driver,
reporting from Coniston.
Copy !req
924. Wait a minute, Rowf.
Copy !req
925. I know where we are.
Copy !req
926. That first night after we escaped
Copy !req
927. after we'd left those sheep dogs,
Copy !req
928. who got so angry with us.
Copy !req
929. Would you remember?
Copy !req
930. And then we changed into wild animals.
Copy !req
931. You two?
Copy !req
932. Wild animals?
Copy !req
933. Don't be daft.
Copy !req
934. This story of his, about killin'
Copy !req
935. a man with a gun is it true?
Copy !req
936. Or is it just the crack
in his head talking?
Copy !req
937. As far as I can make out, it's true.
Copy !req
938. I don't know how it happened, exactly.
Copy !req
939. You know how he goes on.
Copy !req
940. By the little bugger, shoot a man.
Copy !req
941. Now that's something.
Copy !req
942. Mind, it's bad.
Copy !req
943. Damn these cobwebs.
Copy !req
944. Your mate's gone daft
as a brush, you know.
Copy !req
945. If I had the sense I was born with,
Copy !req
946. I'd be off an' away, an' leave you to it.
Copy !req
947. You're always leaving
when it gets rough.
Copy !req
948. Give over, bonny lad,
no need to go on so.
Copy !req
949. Do you know why we're
still alive, with hundreds,
Copy !req
950. maybe thousands of men
that'd be glad to kill us?
Copy !req
951. They wouldn't dare.
Copy !req
952. I've only got to drown
or jump under a truck,
Copy !req
953. and the sky will fall down,
and all the men will die.
Copy !req
954. Have you ever thought of that, Rowf?
Copy !req
955. That puts us one up on them.
Copy !req
956. I'll tell the pair of you why.
Copy !req
957. Because I know them, the way they think.
Copy !req
958. So as long as you do what I
say, we'll stay ahead of them.
Copy !req
959. If not, there's just no chance.
Copy !req
960. I don't have
nothing to do with it.
Copy !req
961. It's secret, like I told you.
Copy !req
962. Do you have
any idea what he does?
Copy !req
963. He works in a special place,
Copy !req
964. like, an' it's kept locked.
Copy !req
965. But I do know it's got to do with rats.
Copy !req
966. Dr. Goodner were talking to me about
Copy !req
967. disposal of the beasts' bodies,
Copy !req
968. and I've seen a letter at his office.
Copy !req
969. It were from government.
Copy !req
970. And marked, secret.
Copy !req
971. What I want to know is,
Copy !req
972. how did the media get hold of all this?
Copy !req
973. Have you said anything to anyone?
Copy !req
974. Me?
Copy !req
975. No, not a thing.
Copy !req
976. You're absolutely
certain, not to anyone?
Copy !req
977. Oh well I I might've mentioned
Copy !req
978. something about dogs to a lady
Copy !req
979. who drove me back to the lab
Copy !req
980. after the incident with the police.
Copy !req
981. But nothing about Goodner's
work, or bubonic plague.
Copy !req
982. I couldn't, could I?
Copy !req
983. I didn't even know he was
working with the damn plague.
Copy !req
984. Sometimes I feel sure
Copy !req
985. I caused everything bad to happen.
Copy !req
986. But if you
really can do these things
Copy !req
987. why don't you make men afraid of us
Copy !req
988. and send us a nice warm chicken?
Copy !req
989. Now that really would be something.
Copy !req
990. I wouldn't go in there.
Copy !req
991. There's two of them blatherin' away.
Copy !req
992. What's that you're
licking off your face?
Copy !req
993. Oh eggs, hinny.
Copy !req
994. There was a lay-away nest in
the nettles 'round the back.
Copy !req
995. I ate the whole lot.
Copy !req
996. You, what about us?
Copy !req
997. Goes in there...
Copy !req
998. Stuffs itself full of eggs.
Copy !req
999. I'm finished with him.
Copy !req
1000. And for good, this time.
Copy !req
1001. We don't need him to
help us, we never did.
Copy !req
1002. He can't help what he is.
Copy !req
1003. Anyway I admire him.
Copy !req
1004. He's natural.
Copy !req
1005. Natural?
Copy !req
1006. It drives me crazy.
Copy !req
1007. But Rowf, the Tod warned us.
Copy !req
1008. I don't care
what the damn Tod said.
Copy !req
1009. We're going to eat.
Copy !req
1010. Don't.
Copy !req
1011. Look at them collars.
Copy !req
1012. Didn't they say something
on telly about dogs
Copy !req
1013. with green collars
escaping from Lawson Park?
Copy !req
1014. Plagued, they said.
Copy !req
1015. What're you going to do with
them after they're shot?
Copy !req
1016. Let 'em go.
Copy !req
1017. And let them take contaminated
chickens with 'em.
Copy !req
1018. I'll call police.
Copy !req
1019. They can catch them if they want.
Copy !req
1020. Awkward.
Copy !req
1021. If the media are intent on making
Copy !req
1022. a meal of this plague business,
Copy !req
1023. it could be extremely awkward.
Copy !req
1024. I agree.
Copy !req
1025. But tell me, could the dogs
in fact have had any contact?
Copy !req
1026. Almost certainly not.
Copy !req
1027. Boycott says it's out of the question.
Copy !req
1028. But, fleas, cracks, doors.
Copy !req
1029. Precisely.
Copy !req
1030. How can the secretary of state stand up
Copy !req
1031. in the house and swear for certain
Copy !req
1032. that not a single flea escaped
Copy !req
1033. and popped on one of the dogs?
Copy !req
1034. Damn Tod.
Copy !req
1035. He was only doing what he'd have
Copy !req
1036. done for himself if he was alone.
Copy !req
1037. I wish you hadn't driven him away.
Copy !req
1038. He'll never come back now.
Copy !req
1039. Good riddance.
Copy !req
1040. Just the smell of him.
Copy !req
1041. My paw's starting to hurt again.
Copy !req
1042. It's getting harder
and harder like, like...
Copy !req
1043. Like what?
Copy !req
1044. Like the white coats' tank.
Copy !req
1045. Last night, the
medical officer of health
Copy !req
1046. for Coniston reported that
farmers near Glenridding
Copy !req
1047. were attacked by two dogs thought
Copy !req
1048. to be those escaped from the Lawson
Copy !req
1049. Park Animal Research Laboratories.
Copy !req
1050. The dogs, one described as a fox terrier
Copy !req
1051. with a wound on his head, and
a mixed Labrador retriever
Copy !req
1052. have been terrorizing a large
section of the Lake District,
Copy !req
1053. killing sheep and other livestock.
Copy !req
1054. Of perhaps more importance
is the accidental killing
Copy !req
1055. of wealthy landowner Mr. Pierce Chetwind
Copy !req
1056. with who's death the dogs are implicated.
Copy !req
1057. The police have asked the
public to look out for the dogs
Copy !req
1058. and phone them at Coniston
1798, should they be seen.
Copy !req
1059. Why, do you suppose they've done it?
Copy !req
1060. To try and kill us, I suppose.
Copy !req
1061. They're trying to make it
too cold for us to live.
Copy !req
1062. Ooh, they're clever.
Copy !req
1063. Everywhere we go, they
can see where we've been.
Copy !req
1064. No they can't.
Copy !req
1065. They've been too clever this time.
Copy !req
1066. As long as this stuff goes on falling,
Copy !req
1067. it blots out the marks we make.
Copy !req
1068. There have
been new developments
Copy !req
1069. in the plague dogs over the Lake District.
Copy !req
1070. Here, from the scene, is
our reporter, Lynn Driver.
Copy !req
1071. We have with us Geoffrey Westcott
Copy !req
1072. who was attacked by the dogs,
Copy !req
1073. which have been terrifying
Lakeland for the past four weeks.
Copy !req
1074. Mr. Westcott, can you tell
us exactly what happened?
Copy !req
1075. I'd just got
out of the car, for a minute,
Copy !req
1076. about five miles north of Dunmail Raise...
Copy !req
1077. When all of the sudden, I saw these dogs.
Copy !req
1078. Mad dogs, and that's what they were.
Copy !req
1079. There were two of them, both
wild and ferocious as wolves.
Copy !req
1080. I don't know if plague
sends its victims mad,
Copy !req
1081. but I wouldn't be surprised.
Copy !req
1082. And did these dogs attack you?
Copy !req
1083. Well, not
me exactly, but my car.
Copy !req
1084. They took everything edible.
Copy !req
1085. I happened to have my
pocket camera with me,
Copy !req
1086. so I was able to get some photos.
Copy !req
1087. These are the
photos Mr. Westcott took.
Copy !req
1088. You can just make out the
numbers on the collars.
Copy !req
1089. With the help of these photos,
we've been able to verify
Copy !req
1090. that these are indeed the dogs accused
Copy !req
1091. of killing sheep and other
livestock in the Lake District.
Copy !req
1092. But are these the dogs form
Lawson Park Research Station
Copy !req
1093. as these collars appear to confirm?
Copy !req
1094. And if so what's so secret,
that for nearly three weeks
Copy !req
1095. the authorities there denied
these animals escaped?
Copy !req
1096. This is Lynn Driver, reporting
from the Lake District.
Copy !req
1097. What art doing here?
Copy !req
1098. We've nowhere to go.
Copy !req
1099. How does thy mean?
Copy !req
1100. You've not been bidin' on fell all night?
Copy !req
1101. Where've all the sheep gone?
Copy !req
1102. Sheep?
Copy !req
1103. You don't leave sheep on
fell once it starts to snow.
Copy !req
1104. All the sheep were brought down yesterday
Copy !req
1105. an' damn cold work it were an' all.
Copy !req
1106. Wag, come by here.
Copy !req
1107. Yo, Wag.
Copy !req
1108. I've never seen anything like it,
Copy !req
1109. since there were that dog
reckoned sick with rabies.
Copy !req
1110. Rabies?
Copy !req
1111. What's that?
Copy !req
1112. You don't know?
Copy !req
1113. It's a sickness, kills dogs.
Copy !req
1114. I'll bet the gaffer thinks thou's got it,
Copy !req
1115. or else he'd not have run.
Copy !req
1116. But you're not afraid of us.
Copy !req
1117. Nay, I'd know right
enough if thou had sickness.
Copy !req
1118. You're thin, the both of you.
Copy !req
1119. Hey Wag!
Copy !req
1120. - Do I know thee?
- Hey Wag!
Copy !req
1121. Wag, Wag, Wag, Wag.
Copy !req
1122. Hey Wag!
Copy !req
1123. He didn't recognize us.
Copy !req
1124. What are we going to eat, Rowf
if there aren't any sheep?
Copy !req
1125. Have you ever thought, Rowf
Copy !req
1126. that we won't need food when we're dead?
Copy !req
1127. Or names, for that matter.
Copy !req
1128. Cold.
Copy !req
1129. Wonder who the buzzards will like best?
Copy !req
1130. You or me?
Copy !req
1131. I hope you make sure we're properly
Copy !req
1132. dead before you start, old rip-beak!
Copy !req
1133. I'd rather die here
that in the white coats' tank.
Copy !req
1134. It's little enough dignity we've got left.
Copy !req
1135. Damn foolish, going
out in weather like this.
Copy !req
1136. He should've known better.
Copy !req
1137. Even the best could
get caught out up here.
Copy !req
1138. There are some tracks
down below, what're they?
Copy !req
1139. It looks like two sets
Copy !req
1140. of animal tracks and footprints.
Copy !req
1141. I'll follow them.
Copy !req
1142. What's that up ahead?
Copy !req
1143. By the base of Dow Crag?
Copy !req
1144. Can you get closer?
Copy !req
1145. Oh my god, look at that.
Copy !req
1146. I'm glad you're back, Tod.
Copy !req
1147. Well, I never really went away, laddie.
Copy !req
1148. Just sort of lagged a bit behind you.
Copy !req
1149. Tod, what I said before, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
1150. It was...
Copy !req
1151. No need to be sorry about anythin'.
Copy !req
1152. But if it wasn't for
you, I'd be dead now.
Copy !req
1153. We're certainly not
Copy !req
1154. denying that two dogs got out.
Copy !req
1155. We said as much in an early press release,
Copy !req
1156. but what happened to them after that,
Copy !req
1157. I'm afraid I can't tell you.
Copy !req
1158. You'll forgive
me doctor Boycott,
Copy !req
1159. if I can't help feeling that that's
Copy !req
1160. just a shade lacking in well frankness.
Copy !req
1161. Now, when
we say something here,
Copy !req
1162. it's always 100% reliable.
Copy !req
1163. But, for all practical purposes...
Copy !req
1164. Would you care
to amplify that a little?
Copy !req
1165. No, I don't think I would.
Copy !req
1166. It's really a matter between
the local hill authority
Copy !req
1167. and the responsible government body.
Copy !req
1168. If they're not bothered...
- Not bothered?
Copy !req
1169. They're not bothered
Copy !req
1170. that any risk of bubonic plague exists.
Copy !req
1171. Now, if you want to know more than that...
Copy !req
1172. Excuse me, please.
Copy !req
1173. Dr. Boycott.
Copy !req
1174. You were sure it was one of ours?
Copy !req
1175. A green collar?
Copy !req
1176. Yes, I'll ring you back.
Copy !req
1177. Yes, immediately.
Copy !req
1178. And, someone will be down to
the station straight away.
Copy !req
1179. I hope that my right
honorable friend will be able
Copy !req
1180. to deal with this rather
serious matter promptly
Copy !req
1181. and not make it a political issue.
Copy !req
1182. We have learned, not
because the research station
Copy !req
1183. told us of their own accord
Copy !req
1184. but because the media reported it,
Copy !req
1185. and they could not deny it
that these dogs may have been
Copy !req
1186. infected, during their
escape with bubonic plague.
Copy !req
1187. So, this is how we find
out that scientists
Copy !req
1188. are studying bubonic
plague at Lawson Park.
Copy !req
1189. We do not know why they're doing this
Copy !req
1190. but since the disease has not
Copy !req
1191. been a serious public
health risk for many years,
Copy !req
1192. one must assume that the work
Copy !req
1193. is connected in some way with defense.
Copy !req
1194. Surely, such work, if necessary at all,
Copy !req
1195. should not be carried out in
the middle of a national park.
Copy !req
1196. I come finally to the matter
of the distressing tragedy
Copy !req
1197. which occurred two days ago.
Copy !req
1198. It would be pointless for me to try
Copy !req
1199. to allot blame for a thing of this kind.
Copy !req
1200. The point is and I address this to my
Copy !req
1201. right honorable friend, the
secretary of state of defense.
Copy !req
1202. What is going to be done?
Copy !req
1203. I am glad.
Copy !req
1204. I am glad my right honorable
and gallant colleague
Copy !req
1205. is not attempting to ascribe any kind
Copy !req
1206. of blame to the Ministry of Defense.
Copy !req
1207. And indeed the member for Keswick is right
Copy !req
1208. in demanding quick and decisive action.
Copy !req
1209. Accordingly, the Ministry has
taken the following steps.
Copy !req
1210. Two companies of the third battalion
Copy !req
1211. of the parachute regiment
are at this moment
Copy !req
1212. on their way to the Lake District.
Copy !req
1213. Tomorrow they will begin an intensive
Copy !req
1214. search of the most likely
areas, and they will continue
Copy !req
1215. until the dogs are found, and destroyed.
Copy !req
1216. Mr. Speaker?
Copy !req
1217. Mr. Devin Port.
Copy !req
1218. Ordinary people,
Copy !req
1219. and that includes honorable members
Copy !req
1220. have no idea at all of the distressing
Copy !req
1221. use these animals are put to.
Copy !req
1222. The house must have an opportunity through
Copy !req
1223. a parliamentary inquiry, to fully examine
Copy !req
1224. the conduct of experiments at Lawson Park.
Copy !req
1225. B company will go three miles
Copy !req
1226. down the valley to Eskdale Green
Copy !req
1227. where they'll deploy two platoons
Copy !req
1228. north of the river, and two south
Copy !req
1229. maintaining lateral communications.
Copy !req
1230. Search any cover, that
might conceal the dogs.
Copy !req
1231. Sergeant, let you dogs reign freely
Copy !req
1232. until they get the scent.
Copy !req
1233. You do not, on any account,
break the line of advance.
Copy !req
1234. The C company will deploy
widely as practicable,
Copy !req
1235. and they'll start patrolling down the Esk.
Copy !req
1236. Operational HQ will remain
in radio-telephone contact,
Copy !req
1237. and in ground-to-air contact
with the helicopters.
Copy !req
1238. If the helicopters spot the dogs anywhere
Copy !req
1239. along the tops, they'll inform HQ
Copy !req
1240. and further orders will
be issued as appropriate.
Copy !req
1241. Do you think
they're looking for us?
Copy !req
1242. No one else, laddies.
Copy !req
1243. They're going to kill us, Rowf.
Copy !req
1244. They're watching us.
Copy !req
1245. If we can get across the valley,
Copy !req
1246. without them seein' us
we'll be away an' free.
Copy !req
1247. Flies out of my head.
Copy !req
1248. Look.
Copy !req
1249. They've grown huge.
Copy !req
1250. Circling round and round over the hills.
Copy !req
1251. I'll go ahead and see how the land lies.
Copy !req
1252. Make sure he doesn't get
crazy an' start shoutin'.
Copy !req
1253. We don't need that just now.
Copy !req
1254. He knows what he's doing, that one.
Copy !req
1255. We've never been very good
at being wild, have we?
Copy !req
1256. We just started too late.
Copy !req
1257. Doesn't look like
it'll much longer now.
Copy !req
1258. We ought to be back in
Catterick by this evening.
Copy !req
1259. Oh yes, it looks that way.
Copy !req
1260. I feel sorry for
the dogs, don't you Major?
Copy !req
1261. It's this whole damn business.
Copy !req
1262. Well, they have
cause a lot of damage.
Copy !req
1263. And eating that man's body.
Copy !req
1264. Damn it, that's exactly the point.
Copy !req
1265. They were starving.
Copy !req
1266. They didn't set out to
cause all this havoc.
Copy !req
1267. The place is crawlin' with men.
Copy !req
1268. I've never seen anything like it.
Copy !req
1269. That's the fly
I've been talking about.
Copy !req
1270. It's got out of my head.
Copy !req
1271. They're white coats.
Copy !req
1272. Tod, can we cross the valley?
Copy !req
1273. Is it safe?
- We might get them.
Copy !req
1274. Now, whatever happens, don't stop.
Copy !req
1275. Remember, keep movin'.
Copy !req
1276. This place is gettin'
distinctly overcrowded.
Copy !req
1277. Sergeant, let the dogs loose.
Copy !req
1278. This is where we part, me old mates.
Copy !req
1279. I've got a few tricks up me sleeve
Copy !req
1280. that ought to surprise 'em,
Copy !req
1281. Now away, lads, and do as I said.
Copy !req
1282. Straight across the valley,
and up the other side.
Copy !req
1283. They'll be too busy with
me to bother with you.
Copy !req
1284. Do you think that...
Copy !req
1285. They'll never catch
him, he's too crafty.
Copy !req
1286. Get those dogs on a leash Sergeant!
Copy !req
1287. It's a fox, sir.
Copy !req
1288. They've got a bloody fox.
Copy !req
1289. Rowf.
Copy !req
1290. Do you smell something?
Copy !req
1291. It's the sea, Rowf.
Copy !req
1292. Like the Tod said, it's the sea.
Copy !req
1293. Down there, I've spotted them.
Copy !req
1294. Look.
Copy !req
1295. That's the sea, Rowf.
Copy !req
1296. The salt and the weeds.
Copy !req
1297. That's what the Tod said.
Copy !req
1298. It's moving all the time.
Copy !req
1299. And it's nice here too.
Copy !req
1300. There they are.
Copy !req
1301. Let me rest a while.
Copy !req
1302. Wake me when the Tod comes back.
Copy !req
1303. Boycott here.
Copy !req
1304. The undersecretary?
Copy !req
1305. Well yes, of course I'll speak to him.
Copy !req
1306. Good afternoon, Sire.
Copy !req
1307. It has been, inconvenient.
Copy !req
1308. I've taken the steps to ensure
that it doesn't happen again.
Copy !req
1309. Suspend work completely, sir?
Copy !req
1310. Couldn't we perhaps?
Copy !req
1311. No, no, of course not, Minister.
Copy !req
1312. I understand completely.
Copy !req
1313. I'm not going back.
Copy !req
1314. They won't take me back.
Copy !req
1315. Out there, Rowf.
Copy !req
1316. Look out there.
Copy !req
1317. It's our island.
Copy !req
1318. Don't you see it?
Copy !req
1319. That's where we have to go.
Copy !req
1320. We can be free.
Copy !req
1321. They're directly in front of you.
Copy !req
1322. Poor little bastards.
Copy !req
1323. Go forward, get it over with quickly.
Copy !req
1324. Wait.
Copy !req
1325. Wait for me.
Copy !req
1326. It's a wonderful island, Rowf.
Copy !req
1327. Snitter, wait.
Copy !req
1328. Come on, move it, move it.
Copy !req
1329. Is it far, Snitter?
Copy !req
1330. Not very far, old Rowf.
Copy !req
1331. I can't see
anything in front of us.
Copy !req
1332. I'm getting tired.
Copy !req
1333. Can't seem to move my legs anymore.
Copy !req
1334. Keep going.
Copy !req
1335. Try.
Copy !req
1336. Can't swim anymore, Rowf.
Copy !req
1337. We must be near the island.
Copy !req
1338. There isn't any island, Rowf.
Copy !req
1339. There is.
Copy !req
1340. There.
Copy !req
1341. Can't you see it?
Copy !req
1342. Our island.
Copy !req
1343. Just stay with me.
Copy !req
1344. I'll get you there.
Copy !req
