(suspenseful music)

- You're the one who stole our emergency food supply.

(gasping)

- [Second Wolf] Come on Bacchus, admit it!

- Hey don't all gang up on him!

Let him talk!

- Why?

I'm beginning to think you were in this with him.

- I was not.

(growling)

- Stop this.

It's a disgrace.

In time of famine, there is no greater crime

than to steal from the pack's emergency food supply.

The law is clear, the thief must be found.

- (muttering) Yeah

- And now, Bacchus, Mowgli, speak.

And truly, as befits a wolf.

Which one of you stole and let the pack go hungry?

- I didn't do it.

- And neither did I.

(growling)

- I see.

Then I fear the law must take its course.

(gasping)

- Banish them.

- But we can't do that.

- The pack must not harbor a thief.

We cannot tell who is guilty,

so both must be cast out at once.

- You can't, I,

we can't banish them.

- Wait, I can tell you who stole the food.

(gasping)

(dramatic music)

- How come, Bagheera, did you see him?

- No, but I can tell it was a demon.

- [All] Huh? A demon? Wow. A what?

- Didn't you know?

Demons always come at times like these.

Whenever game is scarce in the jungle,

and everyone is hungry.

It happened to some friends of mine.

- Really?

- Once upon a time, there was a band of monkeys.

They couldn't find enough to eat,

so they decided they had to use

their food reserve.

They found it was gone,

and they thought one of their own

had stolen it.

(growling)

- But that's not what happened, huh?

It was some kind of a demon's trick, right?

- That's right.

Then the demon played a more dangerous trick.

It whispered lies.

And the monkeys fought with each other.

(gasping)

- An ugly tale.

- Indeed, but it's instructive.

- Yes, you're right, a demon must have done this.

- Excuse me, what do demons look like?

- They can't be seen, even by the sharpest eye.

The keenest nose will never smell them out.

(gasping)

- If we can't see them or smell them,

then how can we chase them away?

- I'll tell you, by remembering our duty to the pack.

If we do that, the demons will run away.

- Well, quite a crowd, what's going on?

- I was warning them about demons and their ways.

You know what?

It's a pity you missed it, Fargas.

Tell me, where have you been?

- [Mowgli] Bagheera!

- I found an empty lair, so I decided

to have a little rest.

Anything wrong with that?

- I guess not.

But you better beware of the demon, Fargas.

- Hmm.

We mustn't be downhearted.

Things aren't as bad as that.

You'll see, when the red flowers blossom on the plain,

you'll have good hunting,

better than you ever had before.

- We will?

- Yes, I promise you.

The plain'll be full of deer and buffalo.

Hordes of them, hundreds.

(light music)

(birds chirping)

(dour music)

- Boy, I just hope old Fargas is right

and all those scrumptious deer show up soon.

They better, because if they don't,

I'm gonna forget everything I ever knew about hunting.

- Cheer up, Bacchus.

Remember, he promised when the red flowers bloom,

the hunting will be better than ever.

- Yes, but is it true?

- He was Father's friend.

Fargas wouldn't lie.

(wind blowing)

- Hm?

Baloo, there you are.

Where have you been?

- Out scouting around the rest of the jungle.

I went east, but there was nothing.

No roots, no berries, nothing.

You look worried.

Is there something on your mind?

- It isn't something, friend, it's somebody.

- Tell me, maybe I could help.

(light music)

- Um, I've never been so hungry.

(jungle sounds)

Huh?

At last, a square meal.

- Huh?

Hey, did you see where it fell, Fargas?

- Uh, yes, it's right here.

Good work, very good.

Why not let me take it back, save you the trip?

- No thanks, it's no trouble.

(gulping)

- Rats, oh rats.

- Rabbits, five rabbits.

(dangerous music)

- Take care, they must not escape.

(groaning)

Rabbits? They're porcupines.

(yipping)

(sighing)

(wind blowing)

- I'm beginning to think the game will never come back.

- Fargas promised it would,

and he's a wise old wolf, so it will.

Won't it, Baloo?

- Who knows? But I can tell you one thing.

All we can do is hope, and watch, and wait.

- Um hm.

(eerie music)

(growling)

(dramatic music)

- Fargas, I knew it.

- Please let me go.

Oh please, Bagheera, pity me.

I'm too old to hunt for myself.

- I oughta unmask you in front of the whole pack,

but I can't.

They must stay united.

- [Akela] Who goes there?

(whimpering)

- Help, save me, get him off.

Help, someone.

- Fargas, Bagheera.

- Yes, Akela?

- Akela, stop him, hurry.

You don't know what he's been doing.

- Hear me.

- Listen, I caught him breaking into

the emergency food supply.

- What did you say?

- It's true, I caught him in the act.

I tried to stop him, but he's so much stronger.

I did the best I could.

- You wouldn't.

- You deal with him.

Oh, my poor nerves.

(gasping)

- Bagheera, is this true?

- Of course not.

- Mowgli, you must believe me.

I was your father's friend.

I saved Alexander's life.

Help me, help me.

Mowgli. (crying)

- Should I?

- You doubt the word of one of your own?

I'm a wolf, Mowgli.

Can't you trust Alexander's friend?

(growling)

- Stop it, all of you.

We all know Bagheera'd never do that.

(grunting and groaning)

- So it's come to this.

I do not want to have to fight you.

Do you grant me free passage?

- We do.

But come no more among us.

- I will not.

Fargas, Mowgli trusts you.

See that you don't betray him.

- Eh?

- Bagheera!

(muttering)

- Good for you, Fargas.

- That was pretty brave for an old wolf like you.

- [Lala] So much for that panther,

good riddance I say.

- [Akela] I will distribute the food.

Mothers with young cubs come first.

- We'll straighten it all out, Mowgli.

Don't worry.

- Yes, but--

- Mowgli, hurry up or there won't be any left.

- Mowgli!

- After him.

- Right.

- No, let him be.

(sad music)

- Not bad for an old wolf.

(gentle music)

- I'm going to miss them all.

But who knows, maybe it's for the best.

Baloo, what are you doing here?

- Hi there.

How's it going?

Wouldja look at that, what a beautiful jungle.

It's changed a bit since I was young,

when a lotta good folks lived there.

- Um hm.

- Were you planning to say goodbye

to any of them before you go away?

- I am not.

- Okay.

But you know, Bagheera, there are a lot of

hard truths in the world,

and Mowgli's going to have to learn

whether we like it or not.

- But not now, it's too soon, he's too young.

It can wait until he's a little bit older.

Then you can teach him whatever you like.

- Gee, thanks pal.

You think I wanna be the one to warn him

that he better not trust his friends?

Come on, Bagheera, let's go back.

We'll see how Mowgli deals with the demon.

- I really don't want to.

Poor kid'll be so disappointed.

- Please, Bagheera, if you must know,

I'm not sure I can help him by myself,

that is if I make it back down in one piece.

What's the big idea making me climb

all the way up here to talk to ya?

Panthers are all the same, no consideration for,

(groaning and panting)

- Be right with you.

(birds chirping) (delicate music)

- I'll never believe that Bagheera's the one

who stole the food.

- Then who did, Fargas?

- Of course not, no friend of my father's

would do a thing like that.

- Well someone must have done it.

Who do you think it was?

Maybe it was that demon Bagheera talked about.

- I don't know what to think.

(splashing)

- Wow, what a scary face.

- Hmm?

A demon's face.

- Mowgli, don't tell me you turned into a demon.

(dramatic music)

- No, but I think I understand what Bagheera

was talking about.

(thundering)

- Is nobody guarding the food?

- They're all out hunting.

- Someone's coming, quick!

(thundering)

- Fargas, it's Fargas.

- What's he doing?

- Shh, watch.

Oh no, don't. Don't steal it.

- Mowgli!

- Fargas! Huh?

(thundering)

It was you.

(dramatic music)

(gentle music)

Why, Fargas? Tell me.

- Oh, Mowgli.

I'm by myself because my pack banished me.

They said I was a disgrace to them,

and they were right.

But I wish you could have known me

when I was young, Mowgli.

(thundering)

Everybody depended on me, not just the cubs, everyone.

I was the best hunter in the pack.

But I got old, I couldn't run as fast,

and I couldn't bring down the game

the way I used to.

I had to hunt for me, now.

I couldn't stand it.

I wanted to make them believe I could still hunt,

so I stole.

I knew it was wrong, but I stole from the food supply,

and I got caught.

(thundering)

That's the story.

It was stupid of me.

But when you're really good at something,

and then you can't do it anymore,

it's hard to face.

(thundering)

- Was Alexander really your friend?

- No, I made that up.

I only met him once.

He saved my life when I was being attacked.

(wolves running)

- Mowgli, Fargas!

- Huh?

(thundering)

(growling)

- Mowgli, are you at it again?

- Of course not, you haven't been stealing,

have you, Mowgli?

(thundering) (growling)

(dramatic music)

- Demons.

- Akela, I--

- I let you down.

I'm sorry, really sorry.

- Mowgli!

- I don't believe you.

- What did you say?

(thundering)

- It was me all the time.

You wanted to know who's been stealing food?

It was me.

- You can't do that.

Oh no, ah!

Baloo, Bagheera.

(thundering)

- Are you the thief?

Think well before you answer.

- I am.

- Akela, I--

- Please Fargas, this matter concerns the pack.

It must be settled, you are not involved.

You know the law.

- But Grandfather, he admitted it all by himself.

Don't that count for something?

- It does, but we cannot ignore his crime.

Did you do it? Answer.

Mowgli, you have broken the law and injured the pack.

You are no longer one of us.

Henceforth, you are banished from this pack,

and from the jungle, utterly and forever.

Now, go.

(thunder crashing)

(murmuring and sighing)

- Dear.

- We may have to step in.

- Yes, I know.

I told you I might need you.

(whimpering)

- Akela, this is some kind of terrible mistake.

- Justice has been done, now go about your business,

all of you.

- Grandfather!

- At least we've seen the last of the demon.

(howling)

(dramatic music)

- Akah, my demons, where is it?

We can smell it. (howling)

We know it's there, and we want it, it's ours.

Mowgli, help, Mowgli!

It's the demon.

The demon has come back again--

- Fargas, what's the matter?

- Drive it out the way you did last time.

(howling)

We're hungry, yes we are,

and we're going to feed.

Beat him up.

- But I can't see him, I'd have to beat you.

I can't do that, Fargas.

- I can.

- Now don't get carried away.

(snarling)

(growling)

- Bagheera!

(thundering)

- I don't think you'll have any more trouble, Akela.

- No, you all saw.

The demon attacked Fargas.

But together, Mowgli and Bagheera

came to the rescue and drove the demon away,

never to return.

Now we can be at peace.

(gentle music)

- Are you okay?

- I'm fine now, Mowgli.

You saved me, just as your father did.

Thank you.

- Look, over there, red flowers.

(fire crackling)

- Red flowers, they finally came.

That means game in the jungle again.

Fargas, come and see. Fargas!

- Fargas is gone, Mowgli.

He's gone on a journey.

But you may see him again one day.

- I hope so, he's my friend.

- I swear it, Mowgli.

The jungle and the plain will be full

of deer and buffalo.

- Old one, wait.

I'll see you on your way.

- Bagheera, thank you.

- Don't mention is, Fargas.

Any friend of Mowgli's is a friend of mine.

(fire crackling)

(wind blowing)

(birds chirping)

(bright music)

- Whoo--

- Ahh!

(groaning)

- Bachus, you dope.

- It was Mowgli's fault.

- What?

- What else is new?

- Watch it, Lala.

- Faster, faster.

(yelling)

(laughing)
