The.Ghost.And.The.Darkness.1996.720p.BluRay.x264-[YTS.**] Subtitles

00:01:11,318 --> 00:01:16,This is the most famous
true African adventure,

00:01:16,289 --> 00:01:22,famous because what took place
at Tsavo never happened before.

00:01:22,162 --> 00:01:25,Colonel John Patterson
was there when it began.

00:01:25,865 --> 00:01:28,A fine Irish gentleman,

00:01:28,569 --> 00:01:30,a brilliant engineer.

00:01:31,371 --> 00:01:33,He was my friend.

00:01:33,674 --> 00:01:35,My name is Samuel.

00:01:36,376 --> 00:01:37,I was there.

00:01:39,279 --> 00:01:41,Remember this...

00:01:41,214 --> 00:01:46,Even the most impossible parts
of this story really happened.

00:01:55,362 --> 00:01:58,John Henry Patterson.
I'm Robert Beaumont.

00:01:59,632 --> 00:02:02,Firm handshake. I like that.
Tells me a lot about you.

00:02:02,269 --> 00:02:03,Do sit down.

00:02:08,308 --> 00:02:09,Now, why don't you
tell me about me?

00:02:11,311 --> 00:02:12,Well, to get you started,

00:02:12,712 --> 00:02:15,many people fine me handsome
with a wonderful smile.

00:02:15,548 --> 00:02:17,I'm sure you agree.

00:02:17,384 --> 00:02:20,Winning personality,
heaps of charm.

00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,My wife is the game player in the family,
sir.

00:02:26,259 --> 00:02:27,Thank you, gentlemen.

00:02:30,563 --> 00:02:33,Look at me closely,
Colonel Patterson.

00:02:33,533 --> 00:02:35,I'm a monster.

00:02:35,868 --> 00:02:40,My only pleasure is tormenting
those people who work for me.

00:02:40,940 --> 00:02:42,People like yourself.

00:02:42,842 --> 00:02:44,Make one mistake,
and I promise you,

00:02:45,645 --> 00:02:47,I'll make you hate me.

00:02:48,648 --> 00:02:50,We're in a race, Colonel,

00:02:50,483 --> 00:02:52,and the prize is nothing less

00:02:52,519 --> 00:02:54,than the continent of Africa.

00:02:54,854 --> 00:02:57,We are building the most expensive
and daring railroad in history

00:02:57,824 --> 00:03:01,for the glorious purpose of
saving Africa from the Africans

00:03:01,461 --> 00:03:03,and, of course, to end slavery.

00:03:03,696 --> 00:03:06,Our competitors are the
Germans and the French.

00:03:06,366 --> 00:03:08,We are ahead
and we will stay ahead,

00:03:08,468 --> 00:03:11,provided you do what
I've hired you to do.

00:03:12,339 --> 00:03:15,Build a bridge
across the River Tsavo

00:03:15,809 --> 00:03:18,and be finished in five months.

00:03:19,246 --> 00:03:20,Can you do that?

00:03:20,513 --> 00:03:22,I ** sure you've
examined my record.

00:03:22,682 --> 00:03:24,You know I've never
been late on a bridge.

00:03:24,918 --> 00:03:28,I'm well aware of your distinguished record,
Colonel,

00:03:28,888 --> 00:03:30,but let me humbly remind you,

00:03:30,623 --> 00:03:31,you've never built in Africa.

00:03:32,024 --> 00:03:33,I have in India.

00:03:33,593 --> 00:03:36,Each country presents
its own challenges.

00:03:37,730 --> 00:03:40,You'll need all your confidence,
I promise you.

00:03:40,633 --> 00:03:43,I love Africa.
I've always wanted to go there.

00:03:44,604 --> 00:03:47,And if I may speak personally,

00:03:47,374 --> 00:03:49,my wife is having
our firstborn in six months,

00:03:49,776 --> 00:03:52,and I promised her I'd
be there for the birth,

00:03:52,512 --> 00:03:54,and I always keep my word.

00:03:54,914 --> 00:03:56,Very moving, Colonel Patterson.

00:03:56,550 --> 00:03:59,I'm... I'm touched
you... you confided in me,

00:03:59,687 --> 00:04:03,but I really don't give a s***t
about your upcoming litter.

00:04:04,524 --> 00:04:06,I've made you
with this assignment.

00:04:07,827 --> 00:04:09,Don't make me break you.

00:04:12,031 --> 00:04:13,You won't have the opportunity.

00:04:14,701 --> 00:04:16,Any other words
of encouragement?

00:04:19,372 --> 00:04:21,Then I have a train to catch.

00:04:35,855 --> 00:04:36,Tell me about Beaumont.

00:04:37,023 --> 00:04:38,Does he understand
how brilliant you are?

00:04:38,991 --> 00:04:40,How lucky he is to have you?

00:04:40,927 --> 00:04:44,It was embarrassing.
The man showered me with praise.

00:04:44,897 --> 00:04:46,Oh, dear.

00:04:49,769 --> 00:04:51,You're getting that
downtrodden look again.

00:04:51,904 --> 00:04:53,No. No.

00:04:55,908 --> 00:04:58,I would never have taken
this had we known sooner.

00:04:58,378 --> 00:04:59,And you would
have been in agony,

00:04:59,879 --> 00:05:01,and it would have been my fault.

00:05:02,048 --> 00:05:05,You've been desperate to
see Africa all your life.

00:05:05,985 --> 00:05:07,There may be difficulties.

00:05:07,554 --> 00:05:09,There will be.
There always are.

00:05:09,889 --> 00:05:12,Which only means
that our son and I,

00:05:12,759 --> 00:05:14,note my confidence,

00:05:15,628 --> 00:05:17,will have an excuse
to come and visit you.

00:05:19,799 --> 00:05:21,All aboard!

00:05:23,403 --> 00:05:26,Come along.
Put me on the train.

00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:29,You go.

00:05:36,883 --> 00:05:38,Such a gentleman.

00:05:45,492 --> 00:05:48,I ** desperate to see Africa,
but it's just a place.

00:05:48,928 --> 00:05:51,You build bridges, John.

00:05:51,498 --> 00:05:53,You have to go
where the rivers are.

00:05:59,439 --> 00:06:00,Bye.

00:06:34,107 --> 00:06:35,Colonel Patterson!

00:06:36,042 --> 00:06:37,No... No, thank you.

00:06:37,444 --> 00:06:39,Colonel Patterson, yes?
No, thank you.

00:06:39,646 --> 00:06:41,No, thank you.
No, thank you.

00:06:41,448 --> 00:06:44,Welcome to Africa, sir,
and good morning.

00:06:44,684 --> 00:06:47,Angus Starling.
I ** to assist you at Tsavo.

00:06:47,587 --> 00:06:49,But Beaumont will have
told you that, surely.

00:06:49,689 --> 00:06:51,No, actually.

00:06:51,558 --> 00:06:53,He did give me
his monster speech.

00:06:53,460 --> 00:06:56,That. Oh, I know
Robert seems dreadful,

00:06:56,963 --> 00:06:59,but once you truly get to know the man,
he's much worse.

00:07:00,733 --> 00:07:01,And I'm one of his defenders.

00:07:02,034 --> 00:07:03,Forget him for now.

00:07:03,704 --> 00:07:04,Follow me, sir.

00:07:04,837 --> 00:07:06,It's your first trip
to Africa, yes?

00:07:07,006 --> 00:07:09,Good, because I've reserved
the best seats on the train.

00:07:40,139 --> 00:07:41,They're amazing, aren't they?

00:07:41,775 --> 00:07:44,You know the most amazing
thing about them?

00:07:44,276 --> 00:07:46,They sleep only
five minutes a day.

00:07:54,286 --> 00:07:55,Don't like them much.

00:07:55,588 --> 00:07:56,The females are bigger.

00:07:57,056 --> 00:07:59,Only animals here like that.

00:07:59,191 --> 00:08:00,Have to be
or they wouldn't survive

00:08:00,660 --> 00:08:02,because the males eat the young.

00:08:17,276 --> 00:08:18,Anything special about them?

00:08:19,045 --> 00:08:21,Well, it's just that they
fart through their mouths.

00:08:22,916 --> 00:08:24,I bet they don't kiss very much.

00:08:24,817 --> 00:08:26,I've lived in Africa for a year,

00:08:26,152 --> 00:08:27,and I don't know what you know.

00:08:27,754 --> 00:08:29,How long have you been here?

00:08:29,622 --> 00:08:31,Just about 24 hours.

00:08:32,258 --> 00:08:35,But I've been longing
for this all my life.

00:09:29,249 --> 00:09:30,Welcome to Tsavo.

00:09:48,768 --> 00:09:49,Samuel!

00:09:49,970 --> 00:09:52,Samuel's camp liaison,
absolutely indispensable.

00:09:52,905 --> 00:09:55,He's the only man here
everyone trusts.

00:09:55,241 --> 00:09:56,Does he speak English?

00:09:56,776 --> 00:09:58,And very poor French.

00:09:59,079 --> 00:10:01,Samuel, Colonel John Patterson.

00:10:01,380 --> 00:10:02,The bridge builder.

00:10:03,916 --> 00:10:05,We've been getting ready
for you.

00:10:05,184 --> 00:10:07,Good. I'd like to
see the bridge site.

00:10:07,419 --> 00:10:09,I've g***t some medical
supplies to deliver.

00:10:09,722 --> 00:10:11,Come along to the hospital
when you're done.

00:10:11,691 --> 00:10:12,I'll bring him, Angus.

00:10:18,330 --> 00:10:19,Where are you from, Samuel?

00:10:19,999 --> 00:10:22,That way,
beyond those mountains.

00:10:22,969 --> 00:10:24,I'm from...

00:10:25,071 --> 00:10:26,Over there.

00:11:14,220 --> 00:11:16,Everything seems to be
under control.

00:11:16,255 --> 00:11:19,Thank you.
If it is, it's a miracle.

00:11:20,459 --> 00:11:21,Why is that?

00:11:21,894 --> 00:11:25,The truth is,
the workers don't like each other at all.

00:11:25,732 --> 00:11:28,Obviously, the Africans
hate the Indians,

00:11:28,101 --> 00:11:30,but the Indians
also hate other Indians....
