32. THE BEAR CUBS
Still in search of The Flower in Seven Colours,
Lydia and her two friends are now on the western coast of Norway.
What a beautiful landscape!
Do you think there's any chance to find here The Flower in Seven Colours?
I know what you are thinking about. There aren't many flowers in this region.
But that doesn't mean anything, right, Cador?
- Where did he go? - Cador?
Cador!
It's not like him to leave without a word.
Cador!
- Excuse me, mister... - I apologize too, I was distracted...
- Lydia! - But it's Boris!
I'm beginning to wonder if it wasn't you who stole Cador.
- Me, steal Cador? - Give him back to us!
But I don't know what are you talking about...
- You lie! - Do I look like a liar to you? Really!
- Yes! - Will you shut up, Lydia?
- Sabrina! - We don't know anything about this story.
You better mind your business and find the Flower!
Now it's not the time for this!
Cador! Cador!
Where could he go?
We must keep looking for him!
You better watch them closely, or they will escape you!
At your orders!
Ladies and gentlemen, behold my beautiful dogs!
They are of good breed! The dog is man's best friend!
Especially this one, who will make a fine watch dog!
What will I do? This is unbelievable! Lydia and Cathy will be worried!
Yes, I remember this dog. It was here this morning.
It was purchased by a hunter, if I'm not mistaken.
A hunter, you say?
Do you know where this hunter lives, Madam?
In the mountains, I think.
Oh my God!
We are home! And now we will go after a bear!
It's like he understands me! It's a phenomenon!
Maybe he is special. Anyway, he will be of great help.
You will be a bad hunter if you fear firearms' noise.
It's just a learned behaviour. You will forget about the fear in front of the bear.
We are walking for quite some time, Lydia!
Don't be afraid, it's just a squirrel!
I was really scared, Lydia!
There is no home around here. Where is this hunter living?
I wonder where he took Cador.
Do you see any roof or smoke?
I think there's no one on this mountain.
Look how cute they are, Cathy!
See? They want to play!
They must think you are a bear. Come here, little ones!
It tickles!
Look at them wasting time instead of searching for The Flower!
Lydia is dumb! If the mother bear shows up, she will make a face....
This I would like to see!
- What is it, Boris? - There...
B... Beh-ind...
Help!
- Lydia, the mother bear is here! - Help!
- Let's run, Cathy!
- Let's jump into the lake! - Run faster, you imbecile!
Faster! I don't want to end up bear food!
- We must jump into the lake! - No! Bears swim better than us!
Listen! We were just having fun, that's all!
We assure you, we meant no harm to your cubs!
How do you think she's going to understand?
Please, try to understand!
- I think she finally understood. - We are safe and sound!
We must find Cador!
Look at that, we jumped in the lake for nothing!
You are an idiot! You make only absurd decisions! You are good for nothing!
Today I will kill that bear for sure!
Come on, let's go!
Come on, dog!
Fresh marks. They can't be far.
Sniff it, it's the bear's scent. You must find the bear!
- Why is he making me do this? - Come on, lazy dog, sniff!
Look there, Lydia! The cubs are playing in the water!
How cute!
I smell Lydia and Cathy near the bear.
Yes, we are close.
I finally understood! Lydia and Cathy are looking for me!
There she is!
I finally found them!
We were after a mother with cubs?
I will kill the bear right away!
How good it must be to have a mother!
I was waiting for this for so long!
What is it with you, stupid dog?
Dumb dog!
- Stop! - Don't go there, Lydia!
Stop!
You! Where are you going?
Cador! We finally found you!
Bad luck!
I know already. Killing a mother with cubs is wrong.
Then why do you do it?
It wasn't me who started it! I have a good reason for revenge!
This is a revenge?
I want to avenge my son!
Nearly a month ago, I came here with my boy fishing for trout.
Dad! Look what I found, cute bears! They are adorable!
No, Michael! Don't do it!
No, Michael!
Michael! Michael!
And I have never seen him since.
Then I decided to start hunting and I came here.
I am determined to avenge my son's death!
And next time, you will not stop me!
I will use the dog to find the bear and take her life!
Just a second, mister! The dog is mine!
- What are you saying? I brought him! - It was stolen from me.
So? I will give him back to you after I'm done!
Looks like Lydia will stay here for a while. Our bad luck!
Don't worry, Miss Sabrina! I will take care of the matter!
You can't sleep either? It's strange, no?
Yes...
You can't sleep because it's not yet night.
No, because something bothers me.
How can Cador sleep on an evening like this?
Don't worry. I will lead him as far as possible from the bears.
There's no way that he will find them.
Don't you understand? He will not find peace until he kills the bear.
Indeed...
The thought that he could kill the mother bear gives me the shivers.
Who's there?
- Keep down the noise. - And who are you?
It does not matter. But I came to help you get your revenge.
To help me get my revenge?
I have set traps. The bears will soon be caught!
Then, you will only need your rifle to finish her.
This is a wonderful idea!
- Have you heard too? - It's that scheming Boris!
Cador, Cathy, you must get outside and warn the mother bear!
- Come on, quickly! - Yes...
- Sometime, Lydia goes too far. - How does she expect us to warn them?
We don't speak their language.
- And now which way? - This way.
They are there!
- You go ahead! - No, you go!
- No, you! - After you!
We came to tell you to be careful for the hunter's traps.
There is great danger!
I don't think she understood.
Legs crack like this... when they are caught in the trap.
Now I think she understood..
Thank you!
Lydia! I think I heard the cubs crying!
I hear them! They are very sad!
Maybe they got caught in a trap!
What?!
He left! He took the rifle!
So, what do you think about my plan?
Now we just have to wait for the mother.
Now it's the moment!
- Wait, Mister! - Go away!
- Please, wait! - Don't come or I'll shoot you!
Michael, you will be avenged soon.
Flower! Flower! Flower!
Damn!
Michael!
You are alive!
- Is this boy your son? - Yes, he is Michael, my beloved son!
- What's wrong, Michael? - The little one has lost his memory.
He lost his memory?
I took him out of the river when I was fishing.
It's surely him.
I took care of him, then brought him back to the river, to remember.
But with no avail. He doesn't even remember who he is.
There is no doubt, he is my son, I am sure of it!
- Help! - Michael!
Dad! It's you!
It's over, Michael. I am your father.
He remembered!
No! Stop!
There is no reason now to kill her!
Don't do it, dad! It was my fault, because I played with her cubs!
Michael!
The mother will do us no harm if we leave her alone.
Madam bear, I will try to free your cub.
Stand back, Lydia! That's a dangerous animal!
She will not touch me, you'll see! I am sure of it!
I mean no harm!
I will give you back your cub. He is not hurt.
Just a second. There.
I am happy!
Why do your ideas end always so badly?
You do nothing right. Have this!
Thank you, Lydia! Good bye!
Good bye and see you soon!
Good luck!
I think the mother and her cubs are also saying good bye.
Good bye, little cubs!
The animals love their children as much as we do.
To never forget this, will you plant these seeds, Mister?
After a while,
the seeds given to Michael's father bloomed into wonderful wallflowers.
Whenever they looked at the flowers, the father and the son remembered
about the mother bear's love for her cubs.
In the language of flowers, the wallflower stands for 'bounds of love'.
