<font color="#20e020">Cleaned, corrected and
some timings optimized by Tronar</font>

2
00:03:58,171 --> 00:03:59,872
So you were raised in a zoo?

3
00:03:59,874 --> 00:04:01,640
Born and raised.

4
00:04:01,642 --> 00:04:05,010
In Pondicherry, in what was
the French part of India.

5
00:04:05,012 --> 00:04:07,412
My father owned the zoo...

6
00:04:07,414 --> 00:04:10,682
and I was delivered on short
notice by a herpetologist...

7
00:04:10,684 --> 00:04:14,653
who was there to check
on the Bengal monitor lizard.

8
00:04:14,655 --> 00:04:16,522
Mother and I
were both healthy...

9
00:04:16,524 --> 00:04:18,724
but the poor lizard escaped...

10
00:04:18,726 --> 00:04:21,293
and was trampled
by a frightened cassowary.

11
00:04:23,596 --> 00:04:25,664
The way of karma, huh?

12
00:04:26,232 --> 00:04:28,292
The way of God.

13
00:04:29,169 --> 00:04:31,599
That's quite a story.

14
00:04:31,604 --> 00:04:33,364
I had assumed your father
was a mathematician

15
00:04:33,370 --> 00:04:34,970
because of your name.

16
00:04:34,975 --> 00:04:38,675
Far from it, I was named
after a swimming pool.

17
00:04:38,812 --> 00:04:40,579
There is
a swimming pool named "Pi"?

18
00:04:42,282 --> 00:04:44,349
You see,
my uncle Francis was born

19
00:04:44,351 --> 00:04:46,985
with too much
water in his lungs.

20
00:04:46,987 --> 00:04:49,188
They say the doctors
swung Francis around

21
00:04:49,190 --> 00:04:51,523
by the ankles to
clear the water out...

22
00:04:51,525 --> 00:04:54,326
and that's what gave him the
huge chest and skinny legs...

23
00:04:54,328 --> 00:04:56,261
that made him
such a great swimmer.

24
00:04:57,363 --> 00:04:59,331
Is Francis actually your uncle?

25
00:04:59,333 --> 00:05:01,200
He said he was
friends with your father.

26
00:05:01,202 --> 00:05:04,403
He's my honorary uncle,
I call him Mamaji.

27
00:05:04,405 --> 00:05:07,706
My father's best friend,
my swimming guru.

28
00:05:07,708 --> 00:05:11,176
I trained with him three
times a week at the Ashram.

29
00:05:11,178 --> 00:05:14,980
His lessons would
save my life in the end.

30
00:05:14,982 --> 00:05:18,850
A mouthful of water will not
harm you, but panic will.

31
00:05:20,587 --> 00:05:23,956
Remember to breathe now,
don't hold your breath.

32
00:05:23,958 --> 00:05:25,324
Good boy.

33
00:05:29,095 --> 00:05:30,796
I hope you don't
mind vegetarian.

34
00:05:30,798 --> 00:05:33,265
No, no. Not at all.

35
00:05:33,267 --> 00:05:35,967
- And your name?
- Huh?

36
00:05:35,970 --> 00:05:38,837
You were going to tell me how
you got your name, I think.

37
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,739
Oh, yes. I got it from something
Mamaji once told my father.

38
00:05:42,743 --> 00:05:44,743
You see, most travelers collect

39
00:05:44,745 --> 00:05:46,405
postcards or teacups
on their journeys...

40
00:05:46,413 --> 00:05:47,613
but not Mamaji.

41
00:05:47,614 --> 00:05:49,748
Mamaji collects swimming pools.

42
00:05:49,750 --> 00:05:52,351
He swims in every
pool he comes upon.

43
00:06:00,994 --> 00:06:02,794
One day, Mamaji
said to my father that,

44
00:06:02,796 --> 00:06:04,963
of all the pools in the world.

45
00:06:04,965 --> 00:06:08,267
The most beautiful was
a public pool in Paris.

46
00:06:08,269 --> 00:06:10,202
That the water
there was so clear,

47
00:06:10,204 --> 00:06:12,371
you could make your
morning coffee with it.

48
00:06:12,373 --> 00:06:15,374
That a single swim
there changed his life.

49
00:06:29,355 --> 00:06:31,523
Before I was born, he said...

50
00:06:31,525 --> 00:06:34,259
"If you want your son
to have a clean soul...

51
00:06:34,261 --> 00:06:39,031
"you must take him one day to
swim in the Piscine Molitor."

52
00:06:39,033 --> 00:06:43,335
I never understood why my father
took this so much to heart.

53
00:06:43,337 --> 00:06:47,906
But he did, and I was named
"Piscine Molitor Patel."

54
00:06:49,108 --> 00:06:51,710
Imagine me trying
to explain that name.

55
00:06:51,712 --> 00:06:54,346
I barely made it to
the age of 11 before...

56
00:06:54,348 --> 00:06:56,315
Hey, Piscine!

57
00:06:57,517 --> 00:06:59,951
Are you pissing right now?

58
00:07:00,787 --> 00:07:02,954
Look at him, he's pissing!

59
00:07:02,956 --> 00:07:06,992
With one word, my name went from
an elegant French swimming pool...

60
00:07:06,994 --> 00:07:08,727
to a stinking Indian latrine.

61
00:07:08,729 --> 00:07:10,929
I was "Pissing" everywhere.

62
00:07:10,931 --> 00:07:13,398
No Pissing in the schoolyard!

63
00:07:15,168 --> 00:07:16,802
Even the teachers
started doing it.

64
00:07:16,804 --> 00:07:18,670
Not deliberately, of course.

65
00:07:18,672 --> 00:07:22,207
So, then, what might occur
if we release gas too quickly?

66
00:07:22,209 --> 00:07:23,408
Pissing?

67
00:07:24,310 --> 00:07:26,411
He said "Pissing."

68
00:07:31,719 --> 00:07:35,387
That's enough!
Order! Order!

69
00:07:35,389 --> 00:07:37,889
When we returned the next year
for our first day of school,

70
00:07:37,891 --> 00:07:39,224
I was prepared.

71
00:07:39,226 --> 00:07:40,425
Present, sir.

72
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,894
Piscine Patel.

73
00:07:48,768 --> 00:07:51,837
Good morning.
I am Piscine Molitor Patel.

74
00:07:52,572 --> 00:07:53,972
Known to all as...

75
00:07:55,708 --> 00:07:59,411
Pi, the sixteenth letter
of the Greek alphabet...

76
00:07:59,413 --> 00:08:02,881
which is also used in mathematics
to represent the ratio...

77
00:08:02,883 --> 00:08:06,651
of any circle's circumference
to its diameter.

78
00:08:06,653 --> 00:08:08,787
An irrational number
of infinite length,

79
00:08:08,789 --> 00:08:10,756
usually rounded
to three digits...

80
00:08:10,758 --> 00:08:15,160
as 3.14.

81
00:08:15,995 --> 00:08:17,863
Pi.

82
00:08:19,132 --> 00:08:23,468
Very impressive, Pi.
Now, sit down.

83
00:08:27,273 --> 00:08:28,607
And from then on,
you were "Pi"?

84
00:08:29,409 --> 00:08:31,743
Well, no, not quite.

85
00:08:31,745 --> 00:08:33,578
Nice try, Pissing.

86
00:08:35,716 --> 00:08:37,749
But I still had the whole
day ahead of me.

87
00:08:37,751 --> 00:08:39,918
French class was next.

88
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,620
Je m'appelle
Piscine Molitor Patel.

89
00:08:42,188 --> 00:08:43,488
Dit Pi.

90
00:08:45,691 --> 00:08:47,626
Then, geography.

91
00:08:47,628 --> 00:08:51,430
These are the first
20 decimal places of pi.

92
00:08:51,432 --> 00:08:54,032
My last class of the
day was mathematics.

93
00:08:54,700 --> 00:08:58,703
Slowly, slowly, slowly.

94
00:09:03,509 --> 00:09:10,515
Three.
Seven. Five. Eight. Nine.

95
00:09:10,517 --> 00:09:15,420
Eight. Five. Eight. Nine.

96
00:09:15,422 --> 00:09:18,290
It's right.
He's really doing this.

97
00:09:18,292 --> 00:09:22,127
Pi! Pi! Pi!

98
00:09:22,129 --> 00:09:26,665
By the end of that day,
I was Pi Patel, school legend.

99
00:09:28,401 --> 00:09:31,570
Um, Mamaji tells me you're a
legend among sailors, too.

100
00:09:31,572 --> 00:09:33,104
Out there, all alone.

101
00:09:33,106 --> 00:09:35,574
Oh, I don't even know
how to sail.

102
00:09:35,576 --> 00:09:38,210
And I wasn't alone out there.
Richard Parker was with me.

103
00:09:39,378 --> 00:09:41,646
Richard Parker?

104
00:09:41,648 --> 00:09:43,482
Mamaji didn't tell me
everything.

105
00:09:43,484 --> 00:09:46,318
He just said I should look you
up when I got back to Montreal.

106
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:47,853
So, what were you
doing in Pondicherry?

107
00:09:49,355 --> 00:09:51,656
Writing a novel.

108
00:09:51,658 --> 00:09:53,138
By the way,
I enjoyed your first book.

109
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,428
So, this new one,
is it set in India?

110
00:09:56,430 --> 00:09:59,564
No, Portugal, actually. But
it's cheaper living in India.

111
00:10:01,434 --> 00:10:04,369
Ah, well, I look
forward to reading it.

112
00:10:04,371 --> 00:10:05,270
You can't.

113
00:10:06,339 --> 00:10:08,306
I threw it out.

114
00:10:08,308 --> 00:10:10,242
Two years trying to bring
this thing to life...

115
00:10:10,244 --> 00:10:13,778
and then one day, it
sputtered, coughed and died.

116
00:10:15,181 --> 00:10:16,515
Oh, I'm sorry.

117
00:10:18,618 --> 00:10:22,120
Uh, I was sitting in this coffee
house in Pondicherry one afternoon,

118
00:10:22,122 --> 00:10:23,588
mourning my loss...

119
00:10:23,590 --> 00:10:27,292
when this old man at the table next
to me struck up a conversation.

120
00:10:27,294 --> 00:10:29,294
Yeah, Mamaji, he does that.

121
00:10:29,296 --> 00:10:31,429
When I told him about my
abandoned book, he said...

122
00:10:31,431 --> 00:10:33,365
"So, a Canadian
who's come to French India

123
00:10:33,367 --> 00:10:35,433
"in search of a story."

124
00:10:35,435 --> 00:10:38,637
"Well, my friend, I know an
Indian in French Canada...

125
00:10:38,639 --> 00:10:41,540
"with the most
incredible story to tell.

126
00:10:41,542 --> 00:10:45,277
"It must be fate that the
two of you should meet."

127
00:10:49,115 --> 00:10:52,417
Well, I haven't spoken about
Richard Parker in so many years.

128
00:10:52,419 --> 00:10:55,353
So, what has
Mamaji already told you?

129
00:10:55,355 --> 00:10:58,957
He said you had a story that
would make me believe in God.

130
00:10:58,959 --> 00:11:02,027
He would
say that about a nice meal.

131
00:11:03,796 --> 00:11:06,031
As for God, I can only
tell you my story.

132
00:11:08,067 --> 00:11:10,201
You will decide for yourself
what you believe.

133
00:11:10,203 --> 00:11:12,904
Fair enough.

134
00:11:12,906 --> 00:11:14,839
Let's see, then.
Where to begin?

135
00:11:16,208 --> 00:11:20,078
Pondicherry is the
French Riviera of India.

136
00:11:24,417 --> 00:11:26,751
In the streets
closest to the ocean,

137
00:11:26,753 --> 00:11:28,987
you might think you were
in the south of France.

138
00:11:32,191 --> 00:11:35,026
A few blocks inland,
there's a canal.

139
00:11:35,028 --> 00:11:37,062
Just beyond that
is Indian Pondicherry.

140
00:11:38,331 --> 00:11:42,400
And the Muslim quarter
is just to the west.

141
00:11:42,402 --> 00:11:45,937
When the French handed Pondicherry
back to us in 1954...

142
00:11:45,939 --> 00:11:49,774
the town decided that some sort
of commemoration was in order.

143
00:11:49,776 --> 00:11:53,545
My father, who was a clever
businessman, came up with one.

144
00:11:53,547 --> 00:11:56,982
He ran a hotel, and he got
the idea to open a zoo...

145
00:11:56,984 --> 00:11:59,384
in the local
botanical gardens instead.

146
00:12:02,289 --> 00:12:06,558
As it also happened, my mother
was a botanist in the gardens.

147
00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:11,196
They met, married, and a year
later my brother Ravi was born.

148
00:12:11,198 --> 00:12:14,165
I came two years after that.

149
00:12:14,167 --> 00:12:17,168
It sounds magical,
growing up in...

150
00:12:23,109 --> 00:12:24,275
Amen.

151
00:12:25,344 --> 00:12:27,646
Yeah, let's eat.

152
00:12:27,648 --> 00:12:29,314
I didn't know
Hindus said "amen."

153
00:12:29,316 --> 00:12:30,715
Catholic Hindus do.

154
00:12:30,717 --> 00:12:32,717
Catholic Hindus?

155
00:12:32,719 --> 00:12:35,854
We get to feel guilty before hundreds
of gods, instead of just one.

156
00:12:37,123 --> 00:12:39,791
But you're a Hindu first?

157
00:12:39,793 --> 00:12:43,061
None of us knows God
until someone introduces us.

158
00:12:43,063 --> 00:12:45,997
I was first introduced
to God as a Hindu.

159
00:12:45,999 --> 00:12:48,533
There are 33 million gods
in the Hindu religion.

160
00:12:48,535 --> 00:12:50,268
How can I not come to
know a few of them?

161
00:12:52,338 --> 00:12:53,672
I met Krishna first.

162
00:12:55,609 --> 00:12:59,010
Yashoda once accused
baby Krishna of eating dirt.

163
00:13:00,179 --> 00:13:03,882
"Tut, tut you naughty boy -
you shouldn't do that."

164
00:13:04,417 --> 00:13:07,118
But he didn't!

165
00:13:08,421 --> 00:13:09,888
That's what he told her.

166
00:13:09,890 --> 00:13:11,756
"I didn't eat dirt."

167
00:13:12,758 --> 00:13:15,860
Yashoda said,
"No? Well then..."

168
00:13:15,862 --> 00:13:18,196
"Open your mouth."

169
00:13:18,198 --> 00:13:21,099
So Krishna opened his mouth.

170
00:13:21,101 --> 00:13:23,134
And what do you
think Yashoda saw?

171
00:13:23,136 --> 00:13:25,336
What?

172
00:13:25,338 --> 00:13:32,177
She saw in Krishna's mouth
the whole entire universe.

173
00:14:00,239 --> 00:14:03,274
The gods were my
superheroes growing up.

174
00:14:03,276 --> 00:14:05,977
Hanuman, the monkey god...

175
00:14:05,979 --> 00:14:09,781
lifting an entire mountain
to save his friend Lakshmi.

176
00:14:09,783 --> 00:14:12,517
Ganesh, the elephant-headed...

177
00:14:12,519 --> 00:14:17,055
risking his life to defend the
honor of his mother, Parvati.

178
00:14:17,057 --> 00:14:22,560
Vishnu, the supreme soul,
the source of all things.

179
00:14:22,562 --> 00:14:26,331
Vishnu sleeps, floating on the
shoreless cosmic ocean...

180
00:14:26,333 --> 00:14:28,833
and we are
the stuff of his dreaming.

181
00:14:30,436 --> 00:14:33,071
Spectacle.

182
00:14:33,073 --> 00:14:36,875
Don't let these stories and
pretty lights fool you, boys.

183
00:14:36,877 --> 00:14:40,912
Religion is darkness.

184
00:14:43,616 --> 00:14:46,551
My dear Appa believed
himself part of the new India.

185
00:14:47,787 --> 00:14:50,655
As a child, he had had polio.

186
00:14:50,657 --> 00:14:55,527
He used to lie in bed racked with
pain, wondering where God was.

187
00:14:55,529 --> 00:14:59,164
In the end, God didn't save
him, Western medicine did.

188
00:15:02,768 --> 00:15:04,569
My Amma went to college...

189
00:15:04,571 --> 00:15:07,405
and thought her family was part
of the new India as well...

190
00:15:07,407 --> 00:15:09,407
until her parents
cut her off...

191
00:15:09,409 --> 00:15:11,369
because they thought
she was marrying beneath her.

192
00:15:12,778 --> 00:15:16,214
Her religion was the only
link she had to her past.

193
00:15:26,225 --> 00:15:30,128
I met Christ in the
mountains when I was 12.

194
00:15:30,130 --> 00:15:34,232
We were visiting relatives,
tea growers in Munnar.

195
00:15:34,234 --> 00:15:38,269
It was our third day there.
Ravi and I were terribly bored.

196
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:41,506
Challenge.
I'll give you two rupees.

197
00:15:41,508 --> 00:15:44,242
Run in to that church
and drink the holy water.

198
00:16:23,749 --> 00:16:25,049
You must be thirsty.

199
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,588
Here.

200
00:16:30,590 --> 00:16:32,223
I brought you this.

201
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,808
Why would a god do that?

202
00:16:50,810 --> 00:16:53,111
Why would
He send His own son...

203
00:16:53,113 --> 00:16:56,547
to suffer for the sins
of ordinary people?

204
00:16:56,549 --> 00:16:58,249
Because He loves us.

205
00:16:59,351 --> 00:17:01,986
God made Himself
approachable to us,

206
00:17:01,988 --> 00:17:04,889
human,
so we could understand Him.

207
00:17:04,891 --> 00:17:07,558
We can't understand God
in all His perfection.

208
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,395
But we can understand God's son

209
00:17:10,397 --> 00:17:13,031
and His suffering
as we would a brother's.

210
00:17:13,033 --> 00:17:15,800
That made no sense.

211
00:17:15,802 --> 00:17:20,271
Sacrificing the innocent to atone
for the sins of the guilty...

212
00:17:20,273 --> 00:17:22,006
What kind of love is that?

213
00:17:24,710 --> 00:17:26,878
But this son...

214
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,200
I couldn't get
him out of my head.

215
00:17:31,684 --> 00:17:35,119
If God is so
perfect and we are not.

216
00:17:35,121 --> 00:17:38,022
Why would He want
to create all this?

217
00:17:38,024 --> 00:17:40,491
Why does He need us at all?

218
00:17:40,493 --> 00:17:44,228
All you have to know
is that He loves us.

219
00:17:44,230 --> 00:17:47,365
God so loved this world
that He gave His only son.

220
00:17:47,367 --> 00:17:49,467
The longer
I listened to the priest.

221
00:17:49,469 --> 00:17:52,603
The more I came to like
this son of God.

222
00:17:52,605 --> 00:17:56,174
Thank you, Vishnu,
for introducing me to Christ.

223
00:18:04,016 --> 00:18:06,484
I came to faith
through Hinduism

224
00:18:06,486 --> 00:18:08,753
and I found God's
love through Christ.

225
00:18:08,755 --> 00:18:11,055
But God wasn't
finished with me yet.

226
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,335
God works in mysterious ways.

227
00:18:24,337 --> 00:18:27,005
And so it was,
He introduced Himself again.

228
00:18:27,007 --> 00:18:29,240
This time by the name of Allah.

229
00:18:45,024 --> 00:18:46,491
Allahu Akbar.

230
00:18:49,428 --> 00:18:52,063
My Arabic
was never very good...

231
00:18:52,065 --> 00:18:55,433
but the sound and feel of the
words brought me closer to God.

232
00:18:55,435 --> 00:18:57,135
In performing Salah...

233
00:18:57,137 --> 00:18:59,604
the ground I touched
became holy ground...

234
00:18:59,606 --> 00:19:02,507
and I found a feeling
of serenity and brotherhood.

235
00:19:12,317 --> 00:19:15,586
This lamb is exquisite.

236
00:19:15,588 --> 00:19:17,555
It's the best
dish on the table.

237
00:19:18,157 --> 00:19:19,690
You're all missing out.

238
00:19:21,627 --> 00:19:25,063
You only need to convert to three
more religions, Piscine...

239
00:19:25,065 --> 00:19:28,332
and you will spend
your life on holiday.

240
00:19:28,334 --> 00:19:31,769
Are you going to Mecca
this year, Swami Jesus?

241
00:19:31,771 --> 00:19:35,206
Or to Rome for your
coronation as Pope Pi-us?

242
00:19:35,208 --> 00:19:37,108
You stay out of this, Ravi.

243
00:19:37,110 --> 00:19:39,243
Just as you like cricket,
Pi has his own interests.

244
00:19:39,245 --> 00:19:42,146
No, Gita, Ravi has a point.

245
00:19:42,148 --> 00:19:46,184
You cannot follow three different
religions at the same time, Piscine.

246
00:19:46,186 --> 00:19:47,985
Why not?

247
00:19:47,987 --> 00:19:51,756
Because believing in
everything at the same time...

248
00:19:51,758 --> 00:19:55,159
is the same as not believing
in anything at all.

249
00:19:55,161 --> 00:19:58,563
He's young, Santosh.
He's still finding his way.

250
00:19:58,565 --> 00:20:02,767
And how can he find his way
if he does not choose a path?

251
00:20:02,769 --> 00:20:07,071
Listen, instead of leaping from
one religion to the next...

252
00:20:07,073 --> 00:20:08,739
why not start with reason?

253
00:20:09,641 --> 00:20:11,576
In a few hundred years...

254
00:20:11,578 --> 00:20:14,212
science has taken us farther in
understanding the universe...

255
00:20:14,214 --> 00:20:16,581
than religion has in 10,000.

256
00:20:18,417 --> 00:20:20,384
That is true.

257
00:20:20,386 --> 00:20:22,987
Your father is right.

258
00:20:22,989 --> 00:20:25,623
Science can teach us more
about what is out there...

259
00:20:25,625 --> 00:20:27,325
but not what is in here.

260
00:20:28,660 --> 00:20:31,629
Some eat meat,
some eat vegetable.

261
00:20:31,631 --> 00:20:34,031
I do not expect us all
to agree about everything...

262
00:20:34,033 --> 00:20:35,833
but I would much
rather have you

263
00:20:35,835 --> 00:20:37,702
believe in something
I don't agree with...

264
00:20:37,704 --> 00:20:40,805
than to accept
everything blindly.

265
00:20:40,807 --> 00:20:44,342
And that begins
with thinking rationally.

266
00:20:45,911 --> 00:20:47,478
Do you understand?

267
00:20:49,915 --> 00:20:51,382
Good.

268
00:20:57,656 --> 00:20:59,657
I would like to be baptized.

269
00:21:06,198 --> 00:21:08,666
So, you're a Christian
and a Muslim?

270
00:21:08,668 --> 00:21:10,101
And a Hindu, of course.

271
00:21:10,103 --> 00:21:11,969
And a Jew, I suppose.

272
00:21:11,971 --> 00:21:15,072
Well, I do teach a course on the
Kabbalah at the university.

273
00:21:15,074 --> 00:21:17,408
And why not? Faith is a
house with many rooms.

274
00:21:17,410 --> 00:21:19,277
But no room for doubt?

275
00:21:19,279 --> 00:21:21,112
Oh, plenty.
On every floor.

276
00:21:21,114 --> 00:21:22,613
Doubt is useful.

277
00:21:22,615 --> 00:21:25,115
It keeps faith a living thing.

278
00:21:25,118 --> 00:21:27,218
After all, you cannot know
the strength of your faith

279
00:21:27,220 --> 00:21:28,370
until it's been tested.

280
00:21:32,758 --> 00:21:35,193
Where's Selvam? We shouldn't
be in here without him.

281
00:21:35,195 --> 00:21:36,661
Stop worrying.

282
00:21:38,730 --> 00:21:41,265
I have seen him
do this a thousand times.

283
00:21:43,969 --> 00:21:46,571
I want to meet our new tiger.

284
00:21:47,673 --> 00:21:48,906
Pi!

285
00:21:48,908 --> 00:21:52,076
Hello? Richard Parker?

286
00:21:52,078 --> 00:21:55,379
A tiger? Richard
Parker was a tiger?

287
00:21:55,381 --> 00:21:58,349
Yeah, he got his name
through a clerical error.

288
00:21:58,351 --> 00:22:01,219
A hunter caught him drinking from
a stream when he was a cub...

289
00:22:01,221 --> 00:22:03,454
and named him Thirsty.

290
00:22:03,456 --> 00:22:06,824
When Thirsty got too big, the
hunter sold him to our zoo...

291
00:22:06,826 --> 00:22:08,960
but the names got switched
on the paperwork.

292
00:22:10,028 --> 00:22:11,996
The hunter was listed
as Thirsty,

293
00:22:11,998 --> 00:22:14,699
and the tiger
was called Richard Parker.

294
00:22:14,701 --> 00:22:17,468
We laughed about it,
and the name stuck.

295
00:22:17,903 --> 00:22:19,370
Let's go...

296
00:22:20,405 --> 00:22:22,707
before we get into trouble.

297
00:22:22,709 --> 00:22:24,709
I want to see him close up.

298
00:22:24,711 --> 00:22:25,843
You're not a zookeeper.

299
00:22:26,378 --> 00:22:27,845
Come on!

300
00:22:46,598 --> 00:22:48,766
That's it, Richard Parker.

301
00:22:48,768 --> 00:22:50,368
It's for you.

302
00:23:19,966 --> 00:23:20,765
No!

303
00:23:22,167 --> 00:23:24,835
What are you thinking?

304
00:23:24,837 --> 00:23:26,570
Are you out of your mind?

305
00:23:26,572 --> 00:23:28,839
Who gave you permission
to come back here?

306
00:23:28,841 --> 00:23:31,709
You have just ignored everything
I've ever taught you.

307
00:23:32,711 --> 00:23:35,913
I just wanted to
say hello to him.

308
00:23:35,915 --> 00:23:37,648
You think that tiger
is your friend?

309
00:23:37,650 --> 00:23:39,784
He's an animal, not a playmate.

310
00:23:41,153 --> 00:23:43,554
Animals have souls.

311
00:23:43,556 --> 00:23:45,890
I have seen it in their eyes.

312
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:49,860
Find Selvam.

313
00:24:01,107 --> 00:24:03,908
You're sure, Sir?
Pi's just a boy.

314
00:24:03,910 --> 00:24:05,710
Do it. Go ahead!

315
00:24:06,878 --> 00:24:09,847
Animals do not think
like we do.

316
00:24:09,849 --> 00:24:12,717
People who forget that
get themselves killed.

317
00:24:12,719 --> 00:24:17,121
That tiger is not your friend.

318
00:24:17,123 --> 00:24:18,989
When you look into his eyes...

319
00:24:18,991 --> 00:24:22,193
you are seeing your own
emotions reflected back at you.

320
00:24:22,195 --> 00:24:24,528
Nothing else.

321
00:24:24,530 --> 00:24:25,896
Don't be stupid.
Say you're sorry.

322
00:24:27,933 --> 00:24:30,267
What have you done, Piscine?

323
00:24:30,269 --> 00:24:32,389
You know what your father
said about coming back here.

324
00:24:32,804 --> 00:24:35,973
I am sorry. I was...

325
00:24:36,608 --> 00:24:38,476
What are you thinking?

326
00:24:38,478 --> 00:24:40,177
This is between
a father and his sons.

327
00:24:41,948 --> 00:24:43,514
He said he's sorry.

328
00:24:43,516 --> 00:24:45,149
You want to scar them for life?

329
00:24:45,151 --> 00:24:48,252
Scar them?
That boy almost lost his arm.

330
00:24:48,254 --> 00:24:49,820
But he's still a boy.

331
00:24:49,822 --> 00:24:51,922
He will be a man
sooner than you think.

332
00:24:51,924 --> 00:24:54,458
And this is a lesson I do not
want them ever to forget.

333
00:24:55,227 --> 00:24:56,594
Selvam!

334
00:25:45,210 --> 00:25:48,412
...and so has placed the country
in a state of emergency.

335
00:25:48,414 --> 00:25:51,849
Under the directive, the states
of Gujarat and Tamil Nadu...

336
00:25:51,851 --> 00:25:54,852
will be placed under the direct
authority of the central government.

337
00:25:54,854 --> 00:25:56,587
Police will be
granted powers...

338
00:25:56,589 --> 00:25:58,789
to arrest and indefinitely
detain citizens

339
00:25:58,791 --> 00:26:00,224
responsible for the uprising.

340
00:26:05,263 --> 00:26:09,066
Things changed after the
day of Appa's lesson.

341
00:26:09,068 --> 00:26:12,470
The world had lost
some of its enchantment.

342
00:26:12,472 --> 00:26:16,674
School was a bore. Nothing but
facts, fractions and French.

343
00:26:16,676 --> 00:26:20,744
Words and patterns that went
on and on, without end.

344
00:26:20,746 --> 00:26:22,880
Just like
my irrational nickname.

345
00:26:28,086 --> 00:26:30,888
I grew restless
searching for something

346
00:26:30,890 --> 00:26:33,023
that might bring meaning
back into my life.

347
00:26:34,459 --> 00:26:37,261
And then, I met Anandi.

348
00:26:46,004 --> 00:26:48,372
Mother made me study music.

349
00:26:48,374 --> 00:26:51,208
And one day, my teacher
came down with the flu.

350
00:26:51,210 --> 00:26:53,077
He asked if
I could take his place,

351
00:26:53,079 --> 00:26:54,512
playing rhythms
for a dance class.

352
00:27:10,929 --> 00:27:12,730
No.

353
00:27:12,732 --> 00:27:14,632
If you do not concentrate...

354
00:27:14,634 --> 00:27:17,902
you cannot express your
love of God through dance.

355
00:27:17,904 --> 00:27:20,371
Feel the ground
beneath your feet.

356
00:27:20,373 --> 00:27:23,407
Open your gaze out
onto the horizon.

357
00:27:23,409 --> 00:27:27,578
Let that spiritual energy pulse
through you and out into the world.

358
00:27:27,580 --> 00:27:29,280
Through abhinaya.

359
00:27:30,248 --> 00:27:32,683
Anandi, come to the front.
Lead them.

360
00:28:17,629 --> 00:28:19,563
Why are you following me?

361
00:28:19,565 --> 00:28:21,365
What?

362
00:28:21,367 --> 00:28:23,367
You were following me.

363
00:28:25,904 --> 00:28:27,938
What does this mean?

364
00:28:29,708 --> 00:28:32,009
In the dance,
you went from pataka...

365
00:28:32,744 --> 00:28:34,878
which means the forest.

366
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,681
And then you did...

367
00:28:39,017 --> 00:28:40,684
samputa...

368
00:28:40,686 --> 00:28:43,487
which means
something that is hidden.

369
00:28:43,489 --> 00:28:44,822
And after that, you did this.

370
00:28:46,725 --> 00:28:49,393
And then you did chatura.

371
00:28:49,395 --> 00:28:52,763
But at the very end,
you did this.

372
00:28:54,132 --> 00:28:57,534
None of the other
dancers did that.

373
00:28:57,536 --> 00:29:00,004
What did you mean? The god of
love is hiding in the forest?

374
00:29:00,006 --> 00:29:03,240
No, that also means
the lotus flower.

375
00:29:03,242 --> 00:29:05,242
Lotus flower
is hiding in the forest?

376
00:29:06,811 --> 00:29:09,179
Why would a lotus flower
hide in the forest?

377
00:29:17,389 --> 00:29:20,057
And this is Richard Parker.

378
00:29:20,059 --> 00:29:21,859
He is the most
magnificent creature

379
00:29:21,861 --> 00:29:23,260
we've ever had here.

380
00:29:24,362 --> 00:29:26,397
Look at the way
he's turning his head.

381
00:29:28,733 --> 00:29:31,969
Showing off. Like a dancer.

382
00:29:31,971 --> 00:29:34,138
No, he heard something.

383
00:29:36,408 --> 00:29:39,109
He's listening, you see?

384
00:29:48,987 --> 00:29:51,088
We have talked
about it for some time.

385
00:29:51,090 --> 00:29:53,290
Do you understand
what I'm saying?

386
00:29:53,292 --> 00:29:54,425
Pi?

387
00:29:55,860 --> 00:29:57,661
Sorry, you've been...

388
00:29:57,663 --> 00:29:59,496
Worried.

389
00:29:59,498 --> 00:30:01,665
For my family.

390
00:30:01,667 --> 00:30:05,002
Our animals are worth far more
abroad than here in India.

391
00:30:05,004 --> 00:30:06,937
And if the town council
stops supporting us...

392
00:30:06,939 --> 00:30:08,939
I don't know where we will be.

393
00:30:08,941 --> 00:30:11,075
So, it is what we have to do.

394
00:30:12,110 --> 00:30:13,977
Do you understand?

395
00:30:16,281 --> 00:30:18,048
I'm sorry,
what are we talking about?

396
00:30:18,783 --> 00:30:20,718
We are leaving India.

397
00:30:22,253 --> 00:30:23,387
What?

398
00:30:25,657 --> 00:30:28,659
We are selling the zoo.

399
00:30:28,661 --> 00:30:31,462
The zoo was never ours to sell.
The land belongs to the town.

400
00:30:31,464 --> 00:30:33,797
But the animals are ours
and if we sell them...

401
00:30:33,799 --> 00:30:36,066
we will have enough
to start a new life.

402
00:30:36,068 --> 00:30:39,236
But where would we go?
Our life is here, Appa.

403
00:30:39,238 --> 00:30:40,604
Canada.

404
00:30:40,606 --> 00:30:43,574
I have some opportunities
for work in Winnipeg.

405
00:30:43,576 --> 00:30:46,677
I'll be shipping most of the
animals for sale in North America.

406
00:30:46,679 --> 00:30:48,879
We can get freighter passage
for the whole family.

407
00:30:48,881 --> 00:30:50,647
So...

408
00:30:50,649 --> 00:30:52,616
It is settled.

409
00:30:52,618 --> 00:30:55,953
We will sail like Columbus.

410
00:30:55,955 --> 00:30:58,288
But Columbus
was looking for India.

411
00:31:07,365 --> 00:31:09,767
It takes
a lot of work to sell a joke.

412
00:31:10,569 --> 00:31:16,373
Anandi and I had time enough
to break each other's heart.

413
00:31:16,375 --> 00:31:19,143
Of course, I promised
I would come back one day.

414
00:31:20,011 --> 00:31:22,045
It's funny.

415
00:31:22,047 --> 00:31:25,349
I remember everything else
about our last day.

416
00:31:25,351 --> 00:31:28,051
But I don't remember
saying goodbye.

417
00:31:36,928 --> 00:31:40,030
Pi? They're serving
dinner below.

418
00:31:53,278 --> 00:31:55,245
Piscine...

419
00:31:55,247 --> 00:31:57,414
you have a whole life
ahead of you.

420
00:31:58,449 --> 00:32:00,884
We are doing this
for you and Ravi.

421
00:32:03,288 --> 00:32:05,189
Come inside
and have some dinner.

422
00:32:14,866 --> 00:32:16,433
Vegetarian, please.

423
00:32:18,369 --> 00:32:21,171
Oh, my sons and I are vegetarians.
Do you have anything...

424
00:32:21,173 --> 00:32:24,341
No, no, no.
Not more gravy.

425
00:32:24,343 --> 00:32:25,876
- You don't want gravy?
- No.

426
00:32:27,179 --> 00:32:29,179
No, I want
something vegetarian.

427
00:32:29,881 --> 00:32:31,348
Oh.

428
00:32:33,551 --> 00:32:34,451
Pas de problème.

429
00:32:36,988 --> 00:32:40,057
She asked if you have
something vegetarian.

430
00:32:43,027 --> 00:32:45,362
The cow that produced
this liver was vegetarian,

431
00:32:45,364 --> 00:32:48,031
the pigs that went into these
sausages were vegetarian.

432
00:32:48,033 --> 00:32:49,333
Very funny.

433
00:32:50,168 --> 00:32:52,469
But my wife doesn't eat liver.

434
00:32:55,607 --> 00:32:58,308
Pas de problème.

435
00:32:58,310 --> 00:33:01,311
Then she can eat the sausage,
the rice, and the gravy.

436
00:33:02,046 --> 00:33:04,348
Or you can cook your own food.

437
00:33:04,350 --> 00:33:06,483
How dare you talk
to my wife like that?

438
00:33:07,518 --> 00:33:09,119
Here's your rice.

439
00:33:10,889 --> 00:33:12,923
I cook for sailors...

440
00:33:12,925 --> 00:33:14,391
not curry-eaters.

441
00:33:15,627 --> 00:33:16,560
What did you say?!

442
00:33:16,562 --> 00:33:21,231
Who do you think you are?
You're nothing but a servant!

443
00:33:21,233 --> 00:33:23,500
I feed people!
You feed monkeys!

444
00:33:32,343 --> 00:33:34,044
Hello.

445
00:33:34,046 --> 00:33:35,846
I am happy Buddhist.

446
00:33:35,848 --> 00:33:37,648
So, I eat rice

447
00:33:37,650 --> 00:33:39,983
next to gravy.

448
00:33:39,985 --> 00:33:43,487
On ship, gravy is not meat.

449
00:33:43,489 --> 00:33:44,421
Is taste.

450
00:33:45,323 --> 00:33:46,456
You try?

451
00:34:09,514 --> 00:34:11,848
Don't worry.

452
00:34:11,850 --> 00:34:16,453
We will have plenty of fresh
supplies after we stop in Manila.

453
00:34:18,556 --> 00:34:22,459
Why give Orange Juice
tranquilizers?

454
00:34:22,461 --> 00:34:25,595
She's not going to
cause any trouble.

455
00:34:25,597 --> 00:34:28,598
The stress of traveling
is not good for the animals...

456
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:33,003
and it helps
with the seasickness.

457
00:34:33,005 --> 00:34:38,442
We don't want to be cleaning up
after a seasick orangutan...

458
00:34:39,077 --> 00:34:40,310
do we?

459
00:34:47,185 --> 00:34:49,486
My father was a businessman.

460
00:34:49,488 --> 00:34:51,355
He had never tended
the animals himself.

461
00:34:53,191 --> 00:34:54,891
I realized...

462
00:34:54,893 --> 00:34:58,362
leaving India must have been
harder for him than it was for me.

463
00:35:04,335 --> 00:35:06,370
So...

464
00:35:06,372 --> 00:35:08,538
Have I forgotten anything?

465
00:35:08,540 --> 00:35:10,273
I think you've set the stage.

466
00:35:10,275 --> 00:35:13,777
So far, we have an Indian boy named
after a French swimming pool...

467
00:35:13,779 --> 00:35:16,713
on a Japanese ship full of
animals, heading to Canada.

468
00:35:16,715 --> 00:35:18,682
Yes.

469
00:35:18,684 --> 00:35:22,185
Now, we have to send our boy into
the middle of the Pacific and...

470
00:35:22,187 --> 00:35:25,088
And make me believe in God.

471
00:35:26,457 --> 00:35:28,125
Yeah.

472
00:35:28,127 --> 00:35:30,027
We'll get there.

473
00:35:35,500 --> 00:35:38,235
It was four days
out of Manila...

474
00:35:38,237 --> 00:35:42,239
above the Mariana Trench,
the deepest spot on Earth.

475
00:35:44,842 --> 00:35:47,842
Our ship,
the Tsimtsum, pushed on,

476
00:35:47,846 --> 00:35:52,082
bullishly indifferent
to its surroundings.

477
00:35:52,084 --> 00:35:56,053
It moved with the slow, massive
confidence of a continent.

478
00:36:32,623 --> 00:36:33,590
Ravi?

479
00:36:34,692 --> 00:36:36,026
Did you hear that, Ravi?

480
00:36:36,028 --> 00:36:37,561
I'm sleeping.

481
00:36:37,563 --> 00:36:39,629
It's a thunderstorm.
Let's go watch.

482
00:36:39,631 --> 00:36:41,331
Are you crazy?

483
00:36:41,333 --> 00:36:43,667
We will get hit by lightning.

484
00:36:43,669 --> 00:36:46,169
No, we won't. It will
hit the bridge first.

485
00:36:47,905 --> 00:36:49,873
Don't tempt a storm, Pi.

486
00:37:03,588 --> 00:37:04,688
Whoa.

487
00:37:18,536 --> 00:37:19,469
Oh!

488
00:37:54,071 --> 00:37:57,707
More rain! More rain!

489
00:38:00,311 --> 00:38:03,079
Lord of Storms!

490
00:38:03,081 --> 00:38:04,414
Whoa!

491
00:38:05,316 --> 00:38:06,750
Lightning!

492
00:38:24,969 --> 00:38:25,802
Ah!

493
00:38:46,557 --> 00:38:47,824
Amma!

494
00:38:49,227 --> 00:38:50,360
Appa!

495
00:38:52,063 --> 00:38:55,599
Ravi! Get out! Get out!

496
00:39:33,237 --> 00:39:35,305
Help me!

497
00:39:40,544 --> 00:39:41,745
Help!

498
00:39:44,081 --> 00:39:45,548
Get in the boat!

499
00:39:45,550 --> 00:39:47,817
Please! Save my family!

500
00:39:47,819 --> 00:39:49,753
Don't scare, okay?
Wait, stay here!

501
00:39:49,755 --> 00:39:51,421
You have to help them!
Please!

502
00:39:51,423 --> 00:39:53,089
Put this on.

503
00:39:53,091 --> 00:39:55,292
No, no, my family!
Please!

504
00:39:57,629 --> 00:39:59,496
We have to help them!

505
00:39:59,498 --> 00:40:01,698
We don't have time.
My family's back there!

506
00:40:01,700 --> 00:40:04,434
We help!
You must go!

507
00:40:04,436 --> 00:40:05,436
Who let all the animals out?

508
00:40:05,437 --> 00:40:07,070
You have to go now!

509
00:40:07,072 --> 00:40:09,105
No, wait, my father!
He can't swim!

510
00:40:09,107 --> 00:40:10,073
Go!

511
00:40:13,477 --> 00:40:15,979
Hang on to the boat!
Hold, hold!

512
00:40:17,315 --> 00:40:18,848
Bring it down!

513
00:40:27,091 --> 00:40:29,793
Hey! You!
What are you doing?

514
00:40:31,395 --> 00:40:32,529
Jump!

515
00:40:32,930 --> 00:40:34,831
Hey, hey!

516
00:41:38,162 --> 00:41:42,165
Hey! Over here!
Over here!

517
00:42:17,067 --> 00:42:18,902
Richard Parker?

518
00:42:18,904 --> 00:42:20,537
No! No!

519
00:42:21,505 --> 00:42:24,607
No! Go away! Go away!

520
00:44:13,584 --> 00:44:15,018
Agh!

521
00:44:33,637 --> 00:44:36,773
Amma!

522
00:44:36,775 --> 00:44:40,710
Appa, Ravi.

523
00:44:42,446 --> 00:44:45,014
I'm sorry.

524
00:44:47,384 --> 00:44:50,720
I'm sorry!

525
00:46:34,124 --> 00:46:35,091
Hari?

526
00:47:11,095 --> 00:47:13,730
Looks as though your drugs
haven't worn off yet.

527
00:47:28,145 --> 00:47:32,749
Orange Juice!
Orange Juice!

528
00:47:46,296 --> 00:47:48,164
Welcome to Pi's Ark.

529
00:48:13,423 --> 00:48:15,258
Where is your boy,
Orange Juice?

530
00:48:25,669 --> 00:48:29,806
Don't worry, I bet mother
and father found him.

531
00:48:33,277 --> 00:48:35,578
They'll all be here soon.

532
00:48:43,587 --> 00:48:46,055
Hello!

533
00:48:49,259 --> 00:48:51,894
Hello!

534
00:48:53,864 --> 00:48:56,966
Anybody!

535
00:50:00,298 --> 00:50:02,164
No!

536
00:50:02,166 --> 00:50:06,669
Stop it! No!
Stop it! Stop it!

537
00:50:09,773 --> 00:50:14,210
No! No!

538
00:50:59,957 --> 00:51:01,857
I'm sorry, Orange Juice.

539
00:51:01,859 --> 00:51:04,627
I don't have any seasickness
medicine for you.

540
00:51:06,129 --> 00:51:08,998
Supplies.
Oh, supplies!

541
00:52:16,566 --> 00:52:18,801
Yes! Yes!

542
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:30,513
No! No!

543
00:52:31,748 --> 00:52:33,382
No! No!

544
00:52:53,804 --> 00:52:55,838
Come on! Come on!

545
00:52:56,573 --> 00:52:57,973
Come on!

546
00:54:45,248 --> 00:54:46,315
Mmm.

547
00:57:40,690 --> 00:57:43,692
My name is Pi Patel.

548
00:57:43,694 --> 00:57:45,961
I have been in a shipwreck.

549
00:57:46,830 --> 00:57:49,431
I am on a lifeboat alone...

550
00:57:51,835 --> 00:57:52,835
with a tiger.

551
00:57:55,138 --> 00:57:56,839
Please send help.

552
00:59:44,581 --> 00:59:48,717
God, I give myself to you.

553
00:59:49,419 --> 00:59:51,753
I am your vessel.

554
00:59:53,690 --> 00:59:57,259
Whatever comes, I want to know.

555
00:59:59,329 --> 01:00:01,096
Show me.

556
01:00:10,773 --> 01:00:13,609
There are no lines.

557
01:00:18,248 --> 01:00:22,618
Set your house in order and dig
in for the battle to survive.

558
01:00:22,620 --> 01:00:25,053
Establish a strict
schedule for eating,

559
01:00:25,055 --> 01:00:28,123
keeping watch and getting rest.

560
01:00:28,125 --> 01:00:31,059
Do not drink
urine or sea water.

561
01:00:33,396 --> 01:00:37,132
Keep busy but avoid
unnecessary exertion.

562
01:00:40,303 --> 01:00:43,305
The mind can be kept occupied
by playing card games...

563
01:00:43,307 --> 01:00:46,008
Twenty Questions, or I Spy.

564
01:00:49,312 --> 01:00:52,881
Community singing is another
surefire way to lift the spirits.

565
01:00:55,953 --> 01:00:58,687
Telling stories
is highly recommended.

566
01:01:02,859 --> 01:01:05,794
Above all, don't lose hope.

567
01:01:15,104 --> 01:01:17,973
Few things can sap the spirit
faster than seasickness.

568
01:01:19,943 --> 01:01:24,713
Waves are most strongly felt when a
boat turns sideways to the current.

569
01:01:24,715 --> 01:01:29,251
A sea anchor is used as a drag to
keep the boat's head to the wind.

570
01:01:29,253 --> 01:01:32,120
Proper use of them
can increase control

571
01:01:32,122 --> 01:01:34,323
and reduce seasickness
during rough seas.

572
01:01:36,292 --> 01:01:38,760
For castaways who must share
their lifeboats with large,

573
01:01:38,762 --> 01:01:40,495
dangerous carnivores...

574
01:01:40,497 --> 01:01:43,699
it's advisable to establish
a territory as your own.

575
01:01:43,701 --> 01:01:45,400
Try this method.

576
01:01:45,402 --> 01:01:47,002
Step one.

577
01:01:47,004 --> 01:01:50,339
Choose a day when waves are
moderate, but regular.

578
01:01:50,341 --> 01:01:53,742
Step two. With the lifeboat
facing into the waves...

579
01:01:53,744 --> 01:01:58,447
making the ride as comfortable as
possible, blow your whistle soothingly.

580
01:01:58,449 --> 01:02:01,817
Step three. Turn the lifeboat
sideways to the waves...

581
01:02:01,819 --> 01:02:04,987
accompanied by harsh,
aggressive use of the whistle.

582
01:02:04,989 --> 01:02:07,119
With sufficient repetition...

583
01:02:07,124 --> 01:02:09,254
the animal will associate
the sound of the whistle...

584
01:02:09,259 --> 01:02:12,527
with the discomfort
of seasickness.

585
01:02:12,529 --> 01:02:15,897
Similar methods have long been
used by circus trainers...

586
01:02:15,899 --> 01:02:18,900
though they generally lack
access to rough seas.

587
01:02:18,902 --> 01:02:21,970
Let the trumpets blare!

588
01:02:21,972 --> 01:02:25,641
Let the drum rolls begin!

589
01:02:26,342 --> 01:02:29,378
Prepare to be amazed!

590
01:02:29,380 --> 01:02:34,282
Here it is, for your
enjoyment and instruction!

591
01:02:34,284 --> 01:02:38,553
The show you've been waiting
for all your life...

592
01:02:38,555 --> 01:02:41,757
will soon begin!

593
01:02:43,394 --> 01:02:45,060
Are you ready for
the miracle of it?

594
01:02:46,529 --> 01:02:49,665
Well, then, I give to you...

595
01:02:49,667 --> 01:02:53,869
the astounding Bengal tiger!

596
01:03:04,681 --> 01:03:09,151
Hello, Richard Parker.
Sorry about the choppy ride.

597
01:03:43,553 --> 01:03:48,090
Mine! You understand?
Yours, mine!

598
01:03:51,394 --> 01:03:53,195
You understand?

599
01:04:00,870 --> 01:04:02,204
Ew!

600
01:04:05,575 --> 01:04:07,476
Step four.

601
01:04:07,478 --> 01:04:10,746
Disregard steps
one through three.

602
01:04:38,708 --> 01:04:42,844
Here, Richard Parker.
I got some water for you.

603
01:04:57,126 --> 01:05:02,130
In the zoo, we fed our tigers an
average of five kilos of meat a day.

604
01:05:02,132 --> 01:05:04,900
Richard Parker
will be getting hungry soon.

605
01:05:07,470 --> 01:05:10,906
Tigers are powerful swimmers,
and if he gets hungry enough...

606
01:05:10,908 --> 01:05:12,808
I'm afraid the little
bit of water between us

607
01:05:12,810 --> 01:05:15,310
won't be any protection.

608
01:05:15,312 --> 01:05:17,946
I need to find a way
to feed him.

609
01:05:17,948 --> 01:05:21,516
I can eat the biscuits but God
made tigers carnivores...

610
01:05:21,518 --> 01:05:23,852
so I must learn to catch fish.

611
01:05:23,854 --> 01:05:26,655
If I don't,
I'm afraid his last meal

612
01:05:26,657 --> 01:05:28,423
will be a skinny,
vegetarian boy.

613
01:05:38,501 --> 01:05:40,335
Patience!

614
01:07:46,862 --> 01:07:48,430
What am I doing?

615
01:08:06,616 --> 01:08:09,084
Wait! I'm thinking.

616
01:09:39,341 --> 01:09:41,576
Thirty-two cartons
of biscuits.

617
01:09:43,879 --> 01:09:46,414
Ninety-three cans of water.

618
01:10:58,387 --> 01:11:00,221
I'm sorry.

619
01:11:02,958 --> 01:11:04,492
I'm sorry.

620
01:11:06,795 --> 01:11:10,098
Thank you, Lord Vishnu.

621
01:11:10,100 --> 01:11:13,668
Thank you for coming in the form
of a fish and saving our lives.

622
01:11:14,837 --> 01:11:16,504
Thank you.

623
01:13:25,434 --> 01:13:27,735
Of course, I brought all
the biscuits and water

624
01:13:27,737 --> 01:13:29,837
on the raft with me
to keep them safe.

625
01:13:30,973 --> 01:13:32,373
Idiot.

626
01:13:35,711 --> 01:13:37,645
Hunger can
change everything you

627
01:13:37,647 --> 01:13:39,914
ever thought you
knew about yourself.

628
01:14:29,531 --> 01:14:31,599
Here, it's yours!

629
01:14:45,514 --> 01:14:47,048
Oh! Ah!

630
01:15:40,569 --> 01:15:42,170
Mine! Mine!

631
01:16:47,736 --> 01:16:50,238
I can't risk my life every time

632
01:16:50,240 --> 01:16:52,874
I have to climb
onto the boat for supplies.

633
01:16:52,876 --> 01:16:55,443
It's time to settle this.

634
01:16:55,445 --> 01:16:57,144
If we're going
to live together,

635
01:16:57,146 --> 01:17:00,014
we have to learn
to communicate.

636
01:17:00,016 --> 01:17:02,850
Maybe Richard Parker
can't be tamed,

637
01:17:02,852 --> 01:17:05,119
but with God's will,
he can be trained.

638
01:18:15,224 --> 01:18:16,123
No!

639
01:18:24,933 --> 01:18:26,667
Good.

640
01:19:45,681 --> 01:19:49,250
Go, Richard Parker. Go.

641
01:19:49,252 --> 01:19:52,153
Go on home,
I'll leave you alone.

642
01:19:52,155 --> 01:19:54,889
I'll respect that, I promise.

643
01:19:59,227 --> 01:20:01,429
Go. Come on.

644
01:20:09,604 --> 01:20:11,172
Yes!

645
01:20:46,108 --> 01:20:48,342
I never thought
a small piece of shade

646
01:20:48,344 --> 01:20:51,512
could bring me
so much happiness.

647
01:20:51,514 --> 01:20:56,584
That a pile of tools,
a bucket, a knife, a pencil...

648
01:20:56,586 --> 01:20:59,320
might become my
greatest treasures.

649
01:20:59,322 --> 01:21:02,490
Or that knowing Richard Parker was
here might ever bring me peace.

650
01:21:03,792 --> 01:21:05,559
In times like these...

651
01:21:05,561 --> 01:21:07,828
I remember that he has
as little experience

652
01:21:07,830 --> 01:21:10,731
with the real world as I do.

653
01:21:10,733 --> 01:21:14,468
We were both raised in a zoo
by the same master.

654
01:21:14,470 --> 01:21:19,507
Now we've been orphaned, left to
face our ultimate master together.

655
01:21:19,509 --> 01:21:22,843
Without Richard Parker,
I would have died by now.

656
01:21:22,845 --> 01:21:25,479
My fear of him keeps me alert.

657
01:21:25,481 --> 01:21:28,382
Tending to his needs
gives my life purpose.

658
01:21:33,488 --> 01:21:35,156
Dolphins.

659
01:21:35,158 --> 01:21:37,158
Hey, Richard Parker!

660
01:21:54,476 --> 01:21:56,210
Hey!

661
01:22:48,396 --> 01:22:52,466
Above all, don't lose hope.

662
01:23:24,766 --> 01:23:28,802
Eight, five, five,
zero, three, six, six...

663
01:23:28,804 --> 01:23:31,472
zero, eight, zero, one...

664
01:23:31,474 --> 01:23:36,110
three, six, zero, four,
six, six, eight...

665
01:23:44,019 --> 01:23:46,287
What are you looking at?

666
01:23:51,126 --> 01:23:52,927
Talk to me.

667
01:23:56,665 --> 01:23:58,599
Tell me what you see.

668
01:26:05,927 --> 01:26:09,797
Words are all I have
left to hang on to.

669
01:26:09,799 --> 01:26:13,834
Everything mixed up.
Fragmented.

670
01:26:13,836 --> 01:26:18,539
Can't tell daydreams, night
dreams, from reality anymo...

671
01:26:36,925 --> 01:26:38,692
Storm, Richard Parker.

672
01:27:06,454 --> 01:27:07,588
No!

673
01:27:13,027 --> 01:27:14,394
No!

674
01:27:39,187 --> 01:27:41,255
Praise be to God!

675
01:27:42,090 --> 01:27:44,458
Lord of all worlds!

676
01:27:44,460 --> 01:27:47,828
The compassionate,
the merciful!

677
01:27:47,830 --> 01:27:48,929
Ah!

678
01:27:54,102 --> 01:27:55,903
Come out.

679
01:27:57,505 --> 01:28:01,642
Richard Parker! Come out,
you have to see this!

680
01:28:02,810 --> 01:28:04,645
It's beautiful!

681
01:28:15,957 --> 01:28:20,093
Don't hide yourself!
He's come to us!

682
01:28:20,095 --> 01:28:21,662
It's a miracle!

683
01:28:35,577 --> 01:28:38,812
Come out and see God,
Richard Parker!

684
01:28:51,859 --> 01:28:55,162
Why are you scaring him?

685
01:28:55,164 --> 01:28:56,563
Oh, God!

686
01:28:56,565 --> 01:29:01,368
I've lost my family!
I've lost everything!

687
01:29:01,370 --> 01:29:05,505
I surrender!
What more do you want?

688
01:29:29,097 --> 01:29:31,031
I'm sorry, Richard Parker.

689
01:32:39,153 --> 01:32:41,755
We're dying, Richard Parker.

690
01:32:45,460 --> 01:32:47,928
I'm sorry.

691
01:33:20,194 --> 01:33:24,698
Amma, Appa, Ravi...

692
01:33:26,934 --> 01:33:29,970
I'm happy I'm going
to see you soon.

693
01:33:38,346 --> 01:33:41,815
Can you feel the rain?

694
01:34:00,801 --> 01:34:05,138
God, thank you for
giving me my life.

695
01:34:07,441 --> 01:34:09,276
I'm ready now.

696
01:34:40,608 --> 01:34:42,642
Richard Parker?

697
01:35:30,925 --> 01:35:32,392
Mmm.

698
01:36:20,875 --> 01:36:23,009
Excuse me.

699
01:36:23,711 --> 01:36:25,378
Move.

700
01:36:26,347 --> 01:36:28,748
Move. Excuse me.

701
01:38:40,981 --> 01:38:43,249
Hey! Hey!

702
01:38:44,318 --> 01:38:45,552
Hey, come on!

703
01:38:48,289 --> 01:38:49,556
Hey.

704
01:38:50,858 --> 01:38:54,093
Hey, get away.
This is my bed.

705
01:41:02,523 --> 01:41:05,191
It was a human tooth?

706
01:41:05,193 --> 01:41:08,361
Don't you see? The
island was carnivorous.

707
01:41:08,363 --> 01:41:11,197
Carnivorous?
Like a Venus Flytrap?

708
01:41:11,199 --> 01:41:14,767
Yes, the whole island.

709
01:41:14,769 --> 01:41:19,772
The plants, the water in those
pools, the very ground itself.

710
01:41:19,774 --> 01:41:22,775
During the day, those
pools held fresh water.

711
01:41:22,777 --> 01:41:25,011
But at night,
some chemical process

712
01:41:25,013 --> 01:41:27,580
turned the water
in those pools into acid...

713
01:41:28,949 --> 01:41:31,451
acid that dissolved
those fish...

714
01:41:31,453 --> 01:41:33,886
that sent the meerkats
scurrying into the trees,

715
01:41:33,888 --> 01:41:36,155
and Richard Parker
running to the boat.

716
01:41:36,157 --> 01:41:38,591
But where did
the tooth come from?

717
01:41:38,593 --> 01:41:41,461
Years ago, some poor fellow,
just like me...

718
01:41:41,463 --> 01:41:44,464
must have found himself
stranded on that island...

719
01:41:44,466 --> 01:41:48,234
and, like me, thought he
might stay there forever.

720
01:41:48,236 --> 01:41:52,338
But all that the island gave him by
day, it took away again by night.

721
01:41:54,441 --> 01:41:59,312
To think, how many hours spent
with only meerkats for company.

722
01:41:59,314 --> 01:42:02,281
How much loneliness taken on.

723
01:42:02,283 --> 01:42:04,584
All I know is that
eventually he died

724
01:42:04,586 --> 01:42:06,719
and the island digested him...

725
01:42:06,721 --> 01:42:09,222
leaving behind only his teeth.

726
01:42:10,824 --> 01:42:14,293
I saw how my life would end
if I stayed on that island.

727
01:42:14,295 --> 01:42:17,096
Alone and forgotten.

728
01:42:17,098 --> 01:42:21,367
I had to get back to the
world, or die trying.

729
01:42:25,639 --> 01:42:28,574
I spent the next day
preparing the boat.

730
01:42:28,576 --> 01:42:30,910
I filled my stores
with fresh water...

731
01:42:30,912 --> 01:42:33,546
ate seaweed until my stomach
could take no more...

732
01:42:33,548 --> 01:42:35,882
and brought as many
meerkats as I could fit

733
01:42:35,884 --> 01:42:38,651
into the storage locker
for Richard Parker.

734
01:42:40,254 --> 01:42:42,388
I couldn't leave
without him, of course.

735
01:42:42,390 --> 01:42:44,190
It would mean killing him.

736
01:42:46,061 --> 01:42:48,961
And so,
I waited for his return.

737
01:42:51,199 --> 01:42:53,066
I knew he wouldn't be late.

738
01:42:53,068 --> 01:42:56,402
Richard Parker!

739
01:43:09,016 --> 01:43:12,018
No one has seen that
floating island since.

740
01:43:12,020 --> 01:43:15,421
And you won't read about those
trees in any nature book.

741
01:43:15,423 --> 01:43:19,425
And yet, if I hadn't found those
shores, I would have died.

742
01:43:19,427 --> 01:43:21,727
If I hadn't
discovered that tooth,

743
01:43:21,729 --> 01:43:25,198
I would have been lost,
alone forever.

744
01:43:25,200 --> 01:43:27,600
Even when God seemed
to have abandoned me...

745
01:43:27,602 --> 01:43:29,735
He was watching.

746
01:43:29,737 --> 01:43:32,105
Even when He seemed indifferent
to my suffering...

747
01:43:32,107 --> 01:43:34,373
He was watching.

748
01:43:34,375 --> 01:43:37,944
And when I was beyond all hope
of saving, He gave me rest...

749
01:43:37,946 --> 01:43:40,713
then gave me a sign
to continue my journey.

750
01:43:53,927 --> 01:43:56,662
By the time we reached
the Mexican shore,

751
01:43:56,664 --> 01:43:59,866
I was afraid to
let go of the boat.

752
01:43:59,868 --> 01:44:03,803
My strength was gone.
I was so weak.

753
01:44:03,805 --> 01:44:07,173
I was afraid that in two feet of
water, so close to deliverance..

754
01:44:07,175 --> 01:44:09,208
I would drown.

755
01:44:18,719 --> 01:44:22,788
I struggled to shore
and fell upon the sand.

756
01:44:22,790 --> 01:44:25,024
It was warm and soft...

757
01:44:25,026 --> 01:44:29,128
like pressing my face
against the cheek of God.

758
01:44:29,130 --> 01:44:33,232
And somewhere, two eyes were
smiling at having me there.

759
01:44:37,604 --> 01:44:40,840
I was so spent,
I could hardly move.

760
01:44:47,381 --> 01:44:50,183
And so, Richard Parker
went ahead of me.

761
01:44:51,952 --> 01:44:55,521
He stretched his legs
and walked along the shore.

762
01:44:59,760 --> 01:45:03,296
At the edge of the jungle,
he stopped.

763
01:45:03,298 --> 01:45:05,831
I was certain he was going
to look back at me...

764
01:45:05,833 --> 01:45:09,202
flatten his ears
to his head, growl.

765
01:45:09,204 --> 01:45:12,738
That he would bring our
relationship to an end in some way.

766
01:45:14,942 --> 01:45:17,810
But he just stared ahead
into the jungle.

767
01:45:21,882 --> 01:45:24,650
And then, Richard Parker,
my fierce companion...

768
01:45:24,652 --> 01:45:26,819
the terrible one
who kept me alive...

769
01:45:29,856 --> 01:45:33,359
disappeared
forever from my life.

770
01:45:39,866 --> 01:45:43,869
After a few hours, a member
of my own species found me.

771
01:45:43,871 --> 01:45:46,439
He left and returned with a
group who carried me away.

772
01:45:48,643 --> 01:45:51,544
I wept like a child.

773
01:45:51,546 --> 01:45:56,782
Not because I was overwhelmed at
having survived, although I was.

774
01:45:56,784 --> 01:46:02,455
I was weeping because Richard
Parker left me so unceremoniously.

775
01:46:04,124 --> 01:46:06,459
It broke my heart.

776
01:46:12,266 --> 01:46:15,201
You know, my father was right.

777
01:46:15,203 --> 01:46:18,904
Richard Parker never
saw me as his friend.

778
01:46:18,906 --> 01:46:22,275
After all we had been through,
he didn't even look back.

779
01:46:23,844 --> 01:46:25,644
But I have to believe there
was more in his eyes...

780
01:46:25,647 --> 01:46:28,814
than my own reflection
staring back at me.

781
01:46:28,816 --> 01:46:30,816
I know it.
I felt it.

782
01:46:32,019 --> 01:46:33,886
Even if I can't prove it.

783
01:46:39,626 --> 01:46:41,193
You know,
I've left so much behind.

784
01:46:41,195 --> 01:46:45,298
My family, the zoo,
India, Anandi.

785
01:46:45,300 --> 01:46:48,701
I suppose, in the end, the whole of
life becomes an act of letting go.

786
01:46:49,770 --> 01:46:52,738
But what always
hurts the most...

787
01:46:52,740 --> 01:46:56,008
is not taking a moment
to say goodbye.

788
01:46:58,178 --> 01:47:02,448
I was never able to thank my
father for all I learned from him.

789
01:47:02,450 --> 01:47:05,951
To tell him,
without his lessons...

790
01:47:05,953 --> 01:47:07,920
I would never have survived.

791
01:47:10,691 --> 01:47:14,160
I know Richard Parker is a
tiger, but I wish I had said...

792
01:47:14,162 --> 01:47:17,129
"It's over.
We survived.

793
01:47:17,131 --> 01:47:20,966
"Thank you for saving my life.
I love you, Richard Parker.

794
01:47:20,968 --> 01:47:23,502
"You will always be with me.

795
01:47:25,172 --> 01:47:27,406
"May God be with you."

796
01:47:34,815 --> 01:47:36,816
I don't know what to say.

797
01:47:43,557 --> 01:47:45,758
It's hard to believe, isn't it?

798
01:47:49,062 --> 01:47:51,630
It is a lot to take in.

799
01:47:51,632 --> 01:47:54,662
To figure out
what it all means.

800
01:47:54,669 --> 01:47:55,829
If it happened, it happened.

801
01:47:55,837 --> 01:47:58,037
Why should it have
to mean anything?

802
01:47:59,873 --> 01:48:03,075
Some of it is
pretty incredible.

803
01:48:03,077 --> 01:48:06,412
See, I was the only one
who survived the shipwreck.

804
01:48:06,414 --> 01:48:09,448
So the Japanese shipping company
sent two men to talk to me...

805
01:48:09,450 --> 01:48:11,851
in the Mexican hospital
where I was recovering.

806
01:48:14,221 --> 01:48:15,855
I still have a copy
of their report.

807
01:48:18,492 --> 01:48:21,627
They had insurance claims
to settle...

808
01:48:21,629 --> 01:48:24,130
and they wanted to find out
why the ship sank.

809
01:48:25,465 --> 01:48:26,705
They didn't believe me, either.

810
01:48:30,504 --> 01:48:34,039
Thousands of meerkats on a
floating carnivorous island...

811
01:48:34,041 --> 01:48:36,142
and no one has ever seen it?

812
01:48:36,144 --> 01:48:39,078
Yes, just like I told you.

813
01:48:39,080 --> 01:48:40,813
Bananas don't float.

814
01:48:40,815 --> 01:48:42,648
Why are you talking
about bananas?

815
01:48:42,650 --> 01:48:45,418
You said the orangutan floated
to you on a bundle of bananas.

816
01:48:45,420 --> 01:48:47,453
But bananas don't float.

817
01:48:47,455 --> 01:48:48,921
Are you sure about that?

818
01:48:48,923 --> 01:48:52,825
Of course they do.
Try it for yourself.

819
01:48:52,827 --> 01:48:57,062
In any case, we are not here to
talk about bananas or meerkats.

820
01:48:57,064 --> 01:49:00,599
Look, I've just told you a
long story and I'm very tired.

821
01:49:00,601 --> 01:49:05,371
We are here because a Japanese
cargo ship sank in the Pacific.

822
01:49:05,373 --> 01:49:07,606
Something I never forget.

823
01:49:08,975 --> 01:49:11,110
I lost my whole family.

824
01:49:16,016 --> 01:49:17,550
Get him some water.

825
01:49:20,420 --> 01:49:22,188
We don't mean to push you.

826
01:49:23,824 --> 01:49:26,592
And you have our
deepest sympathies.

827
01:49:26,594 --> 01:49:29,261
But we have come a long way...

828
01:49:29,263 --> 01:49:32,097
and we are no closer to
understanding why the ship sank.

829
01:49:32,099 --> 01:49:34,567
Because I don't know.

830
01:49:34,569 --> 01:49:36,402
I was asleep.
Something woke me up.

831
01:49:36,404 --> 01:49:38,704
It could have been an
explosion, I can't be sure.

832
01:49:38,706 --> 01:49:41,474
And then the ship sank.

833
01:49:41,476 --> 01:49:43,175
What else do you want from me?

834
01:49:43,177 --> 01:49:45,678
A story that won't make us
look like fools.

835
01:49:45,680 --> 01:49:48,747
We need a simpler story
for our report.

836
01:49:48,749 --> 01:49:51,250
One our company can understand.

837
01:49:51,252 --> 01:49:53,552
A story we can all believe.

838
01:49:56,790 --> 01:49:59,225
So, a story without things
you've never seen before.

839
01:50:00,026 --> 01:50:01,694
That's right.

840
01:50:01,696 --> 01:50:05,664
Without surprises. Without
animals or islands.

841
01:50:05,666 --> 01:50:08,234
Yes. The truth.

842
01:50:17,143 --> 01:50:19,712
So, what did you do?

843
01:50:24,050 --> 01:50:26,118
I told them another story.

844
01:50:27,287 --> 01:50:29,455
Four of us survived.

845
01:50:29,457 --> 01:50:32,391
The cook and the sailor
were already aboard.

846
01:50:32,393 --> 01:50:34,493
The cook threw me a lifebuoy
and pulled me aboard...

847
01:50:34,495 --> 01:50:37,530
and Mother held on to some bananas
and made it to the lifeboat.

848
01:50:39,232 --> 01:50:42,268
The cook was a disgusting man.

849
01:50:42,270 --> 01:50:45,137
He ate a rat.

850
01:50:45,139 --> 01:50:48,173
We had food enough for weeks, but he
found the rat in the first few days...

851
01:50:48,175 --> 01:50:51,844
and he killed it, dried
it in the sun and ate it.

852
01:50:51,846 --> 01:50:53,913
He was such a brute, that man.

853
01:50:55,849 --> 01:50:59,118
But he was resourceful.

854
01:50:59,120 --> 01:51:03,055
It was his idea to build
the raft to catch fish.

855
01:51:03,057 --> 01:51:05,791
We would have died in those
first few days without him.

856
01:51:08,495 --> 01:51:13,232
The sailor was the same man who
brought rice and gravy, the Buddhist.

857
01:51:13,234 --> 01:51:17,002
We didn't understand much of what he
said, only that he was suffering.

858
01:51:17,004 --> 01:51:19,338
He had broken his leg
horribly in the fall.

859
01:51:19,340 --> 01:51:22,975
We tried to set it as best we could,
but the leg became infected...

860
01:51:22,977 --> 01:51:27,646
and the cook said that we had
to do something or he'd die.

861
01:51:27,648 --> 01:51:28,914
The cook said he'd do it,

862
01:51:28,916 --> 01:51:31,317
but Mother and I had
to hold the man down.

863
01:51:31,319 --> 01:51:33,652
And I believed him,
we needed to do it.

864
01:51:34,321 --> 01:51:36,055
So...

865
01:51:37,958 --> 01:51:41,527
I kept saying,
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

866
01:51:41,529 --> 01:51:44,863
And he just kept looking at me.
His eyes were so...

867
01:51:48,335 --> 01:51:51,370
I'll never understand the point
of that man's suffering.

868
01:51:52,739 --> 01:51:56,075
I can still hear him.

869
01:51:56,077 --> 01:51:59,211
The happy Buddhist,
he only ate rice and gravy.

870
01:52:04,818 --> 01:52:06,652
We didn't save him, of course.

871
01:52:06,654 --> 01:52:08,087
He died.

872
01:52:09,689 --> 01:52:12,124
The morning after, the cook
caught his first dorado...

873
01:52:12,126 --> 01:52:14,960
and I didn't understand what he had
done at first, but Mother did...

874
01:52:14,962 --> 01:52:17,696
and I had never seen
Mother so angry.

875
01:52:18,865 --> 01:52:21,100
"Stop whining and
be happy," he said.

876
01:52:21,102 --> 01:52:23,969
"We need more food or we'll die.
That was the whole point."

877
01:52:23,971 --> 01:52:26,105
"What was the whole point?"
Mother asked.

878
01:52:26,107 --> 01:52:29,775
"You let that poor boy die in
order to get bait, you monster!"

879
01:52:31,411 --> 01:52:32,811
The cook got furious.

880
01:52:32,813 --> 01:52:35,114
He started towards her
with his fist raised...

881
01:52:35,116 --> 01:52:37,850
and Mother slapped him hard,
right across the face.

882
01:52:37,852 --> 01:52:40,152
I was stunned.

883
01:52:40,154 --> 01:52:42,287
I thought he was going
to kill her right then.

884
01:52:43,690 --> 01:52:45,658
But he didn't.

885
01:52:47,927 --> 01:52:50,162
The cook didn't stop
at bait either, no.

886
01:52:51,498 --> 01:52:52,998
The sailor...

887
01:52:55,135 --> 01:52:57,069
He went the same
way the rat went.

888
01:53:00,173 --> 01:53:02,274
The cook was a resourceful man.

889
01:53:06,846 --> 01:53:08,747
It was a week later that he...

890
01:53:10,483 --> 01:53:13,152
Because of me.

891
01:53:13,154 --> 01:53:16,588
Because I couldn't
hold on to a stupid turtle.

892
01:53:16,590 --> 01:53:19,425
It slipped out of my hands
and swam away.

893
01:53:19,427 --> 01:53:21,827
And the cook came up and he punched
me on the side of my head...

894
01:53:21,829 --> 01:53:24,029
and my teeth clacked
and I saw stars.

895
01:53:24,031 --> 01:53:25,731
I thought he was
going to hit me again...

896
01:53:25,733 --> 01:53:27,433
but Mother started pounding
on him with her fists...

897
01:53:27,435 --> 01:53:29,501
screaming,
"Monster, monster!"

898
01:53:29,503 --> 01:53:30,869
She yelled at me
to go to the raft.

899
01:53:33,007 --> 01:53:35,307
I thought she was coming with
me, or I'd never have...

900
01:53:38,812 --> 01:53:40,946
I don't know why I didn't
make her go first.

901
01:53:43,249 --> 01:53:45,217
I think about that every day.

902
01:53:51,725 --> 01:53:54,993
I jumped over and turned back
just as the knife came out.

903
01:53:59,199 --> 01:54:01,333
There wasn't anything
I could do.

904
01:54:03,436 --> 01:54:05,204
I couldn't look away.

905
01:54:09,709 --> 01:54:11,944
He threw her body overboard.

906
01:54:13,947 --> 01:54:17,349
And then the sharks came.
And I saw what they...

907
01:54:22,222 --> 01:54:23,822
I saw.

908
01:54:30,063 --> 01:54:34,166
The next day, I killed him.

909
01:54:34,168 --> 01:54:36,835
He didn't even fight back. He
knew he had gone too far...

910
01:54:36,837 --> 01:54:38,837
even by his own standards.

911
01:54:41,040 --> 01:54:42,608
He'd left the knife
out on the bench,

912
01:54:42,610 --> 01:54:45,377
and I did to him what
he did to the sailor.

913
01:54:48,414 --> 01:54:51,383
He was such an evil man,
but worse still, he...

914
01:54:53,753 --> 01:54:56,155
He brought the evil out in me.

915
01:54:57,891 --> 01:55:00,025
And I have to live with that.

916
01:55:06,966 --> 01:55:09,401
I was alone in a lifeboat...

917
01:55:10,637 --> 01:55:13,172
drifting across
the Pacific Ocean.

918
01:55:13,907 --> 01:55:15,808
And I survived.

919
01:55:21,447 --> 01:55:24,750
After that, they had
no more questions.

920
01:55:24,752 --> 01:55:29,321
The investigators didn't seem
to like the story, exactly.

921
01:55:29,323 --> 01:55:33,292
But they thanked me, they
wished me well, and they left.

922
01:55:40,066 --> 01:55:42,167
So the stories...

923
01:55:45,238 --> 01:55:47,206
both the zebra
and the sailor...

924
01:55:47,841 --> 01:55:50,442
broke their leg.

925
01:55:50,444 --> 01:55:53,879
And the hyena killed the
zebra and the orangutan.

926
01:55:53,881 --> 01:55:58,183
So... the hyena is the cook.

927
01:55:58,185 --> 01:56:01,086
The sailor is the zebra.

928
01:56:01,088 --> 01:56:03,789
Your mother is the orangutan.

929
01:56:03,791 --> 01:56:06,925
And you are...

930
01:56:07,794 --> 01:56:10,128
the tiger.

931
01:56:14,267 --> 01:56:15,968
Can I ask you something?

932
01:56:17,537 --> 01:56:20,005
Of course.

933
01:56:20,007 --> 01:56:23,876
I've told you two stories about
what happened out on the ocean.

934
01:56:23,878 --> 01:56:27,412
Neither explains what caused
the sinking of the ship...

935
01:56:27,414 --> 01:56:31,483
and no one can prove which story
is true and which is not.

936
01:56:31,485 --> 01:56:35,120
In both stories,
the ship sinks...

937
01:56:35,122 --> 01:56:37,556
my family dies and I suffer.

938
01:56:38,091 --> 01:56:39,491
True.

939
01:56:42,428 --> 01:56:44,363
So, which story do you prefer?

940
01:56:52,105 --> 01:56:54,106
The one with the tiger.

941
01:56:55,208 --> 01:56:57,309
That's the better story.

942
01:57:00,747 --> 01:57:02,381
Thank you.

943
01:57:03,182 --> 01:57:05,384
And so it goes with God.

944
01:57:17,196 --> 01:57:19,031
Mamaji was right.

945
01:57:20,133 --> 01:57:22,267
It's an amazing story.

946
01:57:24,070 --> 01:57:25,871
Will you really
let me write it?

947
01:57:25,873 --> 01:57:27,739
Of course.

948
01:57:27,741 --> 01:57:30,541
Isn't that why Mamaji
sent you here, after all?

949
01:57:34,747 --> 01:57:36,907
My wife is here.

950
01:57:36,917 --> 01:57:39,047
Do you want to stay for dinner?
She's an incredible cook.

951
01:57:39,053 --> 01:57:40,213
I didn't know you had a wife.

952
01:57:40,220 --> 01:57:42,220
And a cat and two children.

953
01:57:43,089 --> 01:57:45,190
So, your story does
have a happy ending.

954
01:57:45,792 --> 01:57:48,794
Well, that's up to you.

955
01:57:48,796 --> 01:57:51,129
The story is yours now.

956
01:58:06,446 --> 01:58:08,981
Hmm.

957
01:58:08,983 --> 01:58:13,185
"Mr. Patel's is an astounding
story of courage and endurance...

958
01:58:13,187 --> 01:58:16,388
"unparalleled in the
history of shipwrecks.

959
01:58:16,390 --> 01:58:20,425
"Very few castaways can claim to
have survived so long at sea...

960
01:58:20,427 --> 01:58:23,195
"and none in the company...

961
01:58:23,197 --> 01:58:25,630
"of an adult Bengal tiger."

962
01:58:28,167 --> 01:58:30,268
Hi, Dad.

963
01:58:30,270 --> 01:58:32,504
We have a guest.
Let me introduce you.

964
01:58:33,606 --> 01:58:34,973
- Hi.
- Hi.

965
01:58:34,975 --> 01:58:36,375
Nice to meet you.

966
01:58:36,377 --> 01:58:37,476
Adita.

967
01:58:38,611 --> 01:58:39,578
Ravi.
