00:00Go! Go! Go! Go! Come on! Move, man! Move! Move! Go! Go!
00:08Keep moving! Keep moving! That's it! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
00:12Keep on going! Move! Come on!
00:27You sure of information? Dead sure. All their patrols are north, northeast of here. We have a clear run to
00:32the target.
00:41Target! Get ahead!
00:46I see them.
01:22I see them.
02:38How many this time?
02:39Twelve.
03:01They are truly God's creatures and it is an indictment on a soul that one day soon they may be
03:06hunted to extinction.
03:10Why did you want to see me, Mr. Nudaka?
03:13Ivory is a big business. Operations mounted with military skill and firepower.
03:20Oh, yes, indeed, sir. But you have rangers and police at your disposal. After all, you are the Minister of
03:24the Interior.
03:25They are not equipped to fight a full-scale war. And amongst them, I fear, are a few rotten apples.
03:31Until I can pinpoint which few are corrupt, I have to assume they all are.
03:36Which is why I need outside help. CI5 help.
03:42This is what the latest activity looks like from the air.
03:56Sir, if CI5 were to undertake such an investigation, I would need your assurance of complete secrecy.
04:04You have that assurance.
04:09That is the area where the killing took place.
04:38I can't believe Malone approved the budget for this.
04:46Chris, he did approve it, right?
04:49Hey, we're high rollers. Isn't that our cover?
04:52We've got to look the part.
05:20We've got to look the part.
05:23We've got to look the part.
05:34We've got to look the board.
05:39We've got to look the further in the end of the game.
05:54How would you like your head ventilated?
06:00I didn't know you got those cops.
06:02We're not.
06:03Cops agreed to your rights.
06:05They wouldn't just shoot your kneecaps out
06:06and leave you there to bleed like I'm about to do.
06:08They'll do it. Believe me.
06:10What do you guys want?
06:11Who's the man around here?
06:12We're looking for white ivory.
06:14I don't know nothing about ivory.
06:19No, no. Okay.
06:21The cat. He knows everything.
06:24Alright?
06:54Easy.
06:55I may have made the connection.
07:36Caspers don't say much.
07:39But this...
07:41This speaks my language.
07:45Ivory, huh?
07:48Ivory hunters are destroying my heritage.
07:53But that's another story.
07:55The man you're looking for is Willie.
07:57Willie Jagger.
07:58Where do we find him?
07:59There's a poker game going out at his place every Saturday.
08:02He likes to flee the suckers.
08:05Maybe I can get you in.
08:07But after that, you are on your own.
08:11I guess you can get me more.
08:13Where this came from.
08:23Have a nice day.
08:31You have a big mouth. I've told you before.
08:52You sure about this?
08:53It's easy.
08:54You just wait till it's my deal.
08:56And when I scratch my nose like this...
08:59Go for it.
09:01We're gonna cheat.
09:04You bet.
09:16Sam Curtis.
09:18And you must be Mr. Keel.
09:19Hi.
09:19Willie Jagger.
09:21Jock Wilson.
09:21Peter Pembridge.
09:22Play the gentleman you'll be playing with.
09:24Alright.
09:25Bye.
09:26Please sit down, gentlemen.
09:29About drinks?
09:30Here.
09:32Red wine?
09:33Sir.
09:34Let's play poker.
09:46I'll go with that.
09:53I'll go for that.
10:02Your luck has deserted you, Mr. Keel.
10:1020,000.
10:1010,000.
10:18Your luck has deserted you.
10:24I'll go put a pen.
10:2620,000.
10:3122,000.
10:3322,000.
10:3823,000.
10:4023,000.
10:4024,000.
10:42Raise your ten grand.
10:45Fifteen.
10:46Too rich for me.
10:48So you're fifteen.
10:50Raise your twenty.
10:55Very confident, Mr. Keele.
10:58Especially against a pat-a-hand.
11:00You could be bluffing.
11:02It's the nature of the game.
11:04Indeed it is.
11:05We've only recently met Mr. Keele,
11:08so how could you possibly know my nature?
11:11I hate to lose.
11:13Seventy to see.
11:17You leave me no alternative.
11:21I will see you,
11:22and you have to beat
11:24Lewis.
11:28Like you said, Mr. Yeager,
11:30we barely know each other.
11:33So you like to win.
11:42Mr. Keele, Mr. Curtis.
11:45Perhaps you could stay and take cognac with me?
11:48Ah, please take a seat, gentlemen.
11:52Oh, are you always so lucky, Mr. Keele?
11:54Luck had nothing to do with it.
11:58We cheated.
12:03Hey, we don't need your money.
12:05Here.
12:06Keep it.
12:13So what are you here for?
12:15Elephant.
12:17We want to shoot some elephant.
12:20Pow!
12:22You know, of course, that's illegal.
12:24We can pay.
12:26And the ivory looked kind of nice over my fireplace,
12:29don't you think?
12:33A discreet safari
12:36might be possible.
12:39Just one more thing.
12:41We don't just want to shoot one elephant.
12:44We had in mind maybe
12:4650?
12:48A hundred?
12:50And it doesn't matter who does the shooting
12:52just as long as we keep the ivory.
12:53You see, there's this man we know in China.
12:56He's just crazy about the stuff.
13:01So,
13:02can we deal?
13:07I'll see what arrangements can be made.
13:23I'll see what happens.
13:23I'll see what happens.
13:36I don't know.
14:04Well, that's proof that I can deliver.
14:06Impressive.
14:07We'll take it.
14:09All of it.
14:10This lot's spoken for, but your needs can be taken care of in a couple of days, once your credit's
14:15been approved.
14:38All right, Chris, come here.
14:42Come here.
14:43I've been thinking.
14:46What?
14:47Look, now we know where he keeps the ivory.
14:49Why don't we put the cat amongst the pigeons?
14:51An anonymous tip-off to the cops?
14:53Panic Jaeger?
14:54See how he runs.
14:56I like it.
14:57Yeah, and I thought you would.
14:59That's why I already made the call.
15:08Ladies.
15:19At last.
15:21We've kept you, boys.
15:38Do you see what I see?
15:40Mm-hmm.
15:43What is this?
15:45What's going on?
15:47They're not confiscating the stuff.
15:50They're moving it.
16:14Deadly accurate, up to a thousand meters.
16:17Now, with this, we can mount a ground assault, too.
16:20Take out only the big tuskers.
16:22It'll be a lot simpler, huh?
16:24Look, this tip-off, it has to be a coincidence.
16:27Gary says it was anonymous, and there'd been others before this.
16:30But so soon after you met this Curtis and Creole, is it?
16:34Sure, they saw the ivory.
16:35But they were prepared to buy them.
16:37They ship it out right away.
16:38If I'd said yes, there would have been nothing to tip-off about.
16:42They're on the level, I'm sure of it.
16:44We can't take a risk.
16:46I'll use my saucers.
16:47We'll check it out.
16:48I mean, what are they doing now?
16:49They're touring in the bush.
16:51Ah.
17:08Well, according to the minister's map, it's somewhere over here.
17:30Sam!
17:32Over here!
17:45There's more over there.
17:47Must be 20 at least.
17:49It's a killing field.
17:51Look at this.
17:54Russian.
17:56Yeah, well, that doesn't mean much nowadays, does it?
17:58You can get these almost anywhere.
18:16Keep your hands where I can see them.
18:18Who are you and what are you doing here?
18:20We got lost.
18:23We're the adventurous type.
18:24You could be poachers.
18:26Yeah, that's right.
18:27Next elephant that comes along, I'm going to wrestle it to the ground with my bare hands.
18:31And Sam here is going to hit it with his shoe.
18:34The adventurous kind can end up dead in this territory.
18:37Show me your papers.
18:39Come in.
18:41It is not good news, I'm afraid.
18:43I have reason to believe that my dispatch case has been broken into.
18:47What was in it?
18:49Foolishly, details of our previous meetings.
18:51It has to be a member of my personal staff, but I have no way of finding out who.
18:55Details of my agent, sir?
18:57I regret to say yes.
19:00If there's anything I can do.
19:01Anything at all.
19:05Minister, if you would excuse me just for a moment.
19:07Miss Barcus, please.
19:08Miss Barcus.
19:17Call Curtis and Keele.
19:18Tell them their cover is well and truly blown and get them back here right away.
19:22Yes, sir.
19:25We're setting up a night assault here.
19:29Thought you chaps might like to go along and see how we do things.
19:31After all, it is your ivory they'll be shooting.
19:34What's this about?
19:35Three hundred miles?
19:35Yeah, about that.
19:36That little plane of yours will do it easy.
19:37You can land there, and I'll send someone out to meet you.
19:41Well, it'll be getting dark soon.
19:43We must be going.
19:44Very efficient, Mr. Yeager.
19:46I'm impressed.
19:47Thanks for putting it together.
19:49Good hunting.
19:55Good hunting.
20:00They're not in their rooms, and the entire hotel has been paged.
20:03Who the hell are they?
20:04They're supposed to call in every four hours.

29:51Don't move.
29:52Don't move.
29:53Don't move.
29:55One more time.
30:13Miss Curtis. I took the liberty of checking your passports. John Mavoy. All right, Max, I'll handle this.
30:22Don't mind, Max. It's a penalty of being an advisor to the government. They insist upon posting armed guards.
30:31Your friend seems to be doing all right. His leg will heal. And I should imagine you'd kill for a
30:39cold beer.
30:39My own mother. Down the hall to the right. Thank you very much.
30:51Cheers. Cheers.
31:02For an accountant, you're a man of many skills, Mr Curtis. Your passport says accountant.
31:09But the way you dealt with your friend's fracture.
31:12First aid course at school.
31:16You were armed as well?
31:18Local advice for the wild animals. I told them I couldn't hit a barn door, but they insisted.
31:24Tell me about the plane crash. Do you know where you came down?
31:27East of here. A long ridge in a valley.
31:30Fitzgibbon Ridge?
31:31I don't know. We were off course.
31:35If it was a Fitzgibbon, you've made a remarkable journey, Mr Curtis. A remarkable journey indeed.
31:39Could I use your telephone, please?
31:41Of course. Go ahead.
31:44Call me if you need me.
32:04Yeah, get me my loan.
32:08It's Curtis. We're okay, but I can't talk till I get to a secure line.
32:12I understand. Keep me informed.
32:19Yes, they made it.
32:20Oh, yes.
32:29Let me turn to Willie Jacob, please.
32:32Willie.
32:33John the boy.
32:35Did you act on the information I got you?
32:38Two men?
32:40Lane crash.
32:42My God, Willie, they're still alive.
32:52Come on, get dressed. We're out of here.
32:54What is it? What's going on?
32:55We're in trouble.
32:57They're with me here.
32:59They're here in my house.
33:00Now!
33:01Now!
33:10Take it.
33:19Hey!
33:20Come with me!
33:22Come with me!
33:23Oh, my God.
33:25Oh, my God.
33:55They took off south-east of Mavoie's place. Mavoie's after them.
34:08You all right?
34:09Fine.
34:31Come on. Move it. Move it.
34:39We're clear.
34:41We're clear.
34:43All right. Hold on.
34:50We're clear.
34:59You're clear.
35:26I've lost them, but I don't know where they are.
35:37And sunset will be in five, four, three, two, one.
35:51I love this country.
35:55I've had Jo'burg on the line. They're worried.
35:58These two men could bring down the whole organization.
36:01It won't happen.
36:03They know about us, for God's sake!
36:06More important, they know about me!
36:08Tomorrow, first light.
36:10We'll find them.
36:24They know about us.
36:49I'm surprised you got this far.
36:55Is that look broken?
36:57Seen better days.
36:58I've chased you guys for two days ever since we located the wreck.
37:01You wouldn't have stood a chance without Mwali here.
37:03He says he can find a flea on a rhino's ass.
37:10Is that a requirement in these parts?
37:12We tracked you as far as Mavoy's place, then you cut and ran. Why?
37:16There's something you should know about John Mavoy.
37:19I think you're going to tell me something I've suspected for a very long time.
37:23Shh, shh.
37:28Molo Moya.
37:33Chopper heading our way.
37:34Mavoy, we've got to get you out of here.
37:52Get it!
38:16There it is!
38:17Down there!
38:18Take it out!
38:42Nothing!
38:43Just tire tracks could be rangers.
38:46Right, let's find them.
38:48I don't know.
38:48Not understand.
39:05Stay in love.
39:05It was waters.
39:05This is gone.
39:05Do you need to hide?
39:07Yes, you need to hide them.
39:09Can I stay as soon?
39:26Rangers!
39:34They're bound to check us out.
39:37Already at the police.
39:38No!
39:39That would be a really bad idea.
39:41Believe me.
39:56That way, Mawali will show you.
39:59Let's get a move on.
40:30Put on the gun!
40:32Police!
40:33Superintendent Geary!
40:37That's not a police jumper!
40:39Come and do it.
40:42We're searching for two fugitives.
40:44They're armed and dangerous.
40:46Have you seen any sign of them?
40:49I haven't seen anyone for 200 miles.
40:51Unless they're disguised as buffaloes.
40:55Okay, if you see anything, get me on this frequency.
41:01Have a nice day.
41:04No sign of anyone.
41:10They're still out there somewhere.
41:12We'll grid search!
41:30You know this man?
41:36It's the guy who tried to mug me.
41:37No, it's the guy you murdered.
41:40Excuse me?
41:42He was found dead.
41:43And in Cape Town, you two have been identified as his killers.
41:46They won't stop searching till they find you.
41:49Well, we didn't do it.
41:51I know.
41:52Which is why I'm helping you.
41:54A chopper can take you into the city tomorrow morning.
41:57Where you can find a lawyer.
41:58Chopper?
41:59Did you say chopper?
42:01Mm-hmm.
42:03You understand now?
42:04We're hijacking the chopper.
42:06Laura, here's a witness.
42:07Right.
42:09You held you at gunpoint.
42:11Nothing you could do.
42:13Right.
42:14Well, don't just stand there.
42:16Give me a hand.
42:22Are you sure you're okay to fly this thing?
42:24Just get in, will you?
42:27Yeah.
42:28Yeah.
42:32Let's go.
43:23You should have searched the villagers.
43:25We did some.
43:26But there's dozens of them.
43:42Who are they?
43:46Just the rangers.
43:49Hey, son, all right.
43:51Let's go faster.
43:53No, but we've got one advantage.
43:55Yeah, what's that?
43:56Me!
44:00What the hell are they doing?
44:02They're not rangers!
44:02No, but we're not rangers!
44:16It's them!
44:18What are you doing?
44:20Scaring the...
44:21Men or me?
44:40I'm coming back
44:41Shoot him out of the sky
44:50Hey
44:51Relax
45:18Oh my god
45:31Happy hunting
45:37Let's take it home
45:56Ever seen elephants in the wild?
45:58Live ones, I mean
46:01There were once over a thousand in this area
46:03And now?
46:04At last count, a hundred and seven
46:07There's one thing you can do when you get home
46:10Spread the word
46:11Otherwise elephants will be just a memory
46:13Which is kind of ironic
46:16Well, elephants never forget, do they?
