Finally, Pi kills the cook because he fears the older man will turn on him. In this scenario, the cook kills the sailor to use him as a source of food, and then Pi’s mother after she viciously berates him for his tyranny. So he tells them a different story, where he is actually shipwrecked with his mother, a Tawainese sailor, and the ship’s cook. When Pi tells them his story about being shipwrecked with the tiger, they don’t believe him. While in hospital, Pi is visited by two investigators from the Japanese Ministry of Transport, who interrogate him to find out the cause of the Tsimtsum’s demise. Pi finally comes across land in Mexico, where Richard Parker literally walks out of his life, never to be seen again. He, in turn, does away with the hyena, leaving himself and Pi alone on the lifeboat, on which they remain for seven months, engaging in a struggle for power – and to stay alive. The hyena ends up making short work of the zebra and orangutang, but its position of power is quickly felled by the appearance of Richard Parker, an adult Bengal tiger who had been hiding in the lifeboat the whole time. Sixteen-year-old Pi is the sole human survivor, ending up on a lifeboat with an orangutang, a zebra, and a hyena. While en route to Canada, the Tsimtsum, a Japanese cargo ship that’s transporting the Patel family along with the animals they’ve sold to various North American zoos, sinks. However, when Indira Gandhi rises to power in 1976, Pi’s family decide to sell the zoo and move to Winnipeg. Piscine Molitor Patel lives in Pondicherry, India, with his parents and older brother on a family-owned zoo.
