(monkeys chatter)

- Let me go, or I'm really gonna get mad!

(monkeys screeching)

- Uhhhhh, uhhhhh!

- Not so fast!

- Are you sure you want us to let ya go?

- Yes - aaaaaaaah!

(monkeys screeching)

- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

(monkeys chatter)

- Huh?

(ominous music)

(bird whistles)

- (gasps)

(wind blowing)

- Well, what have we here?

It looks like the monkeys have

caught something worth poaching.

(wind whistling)

(monkeys chatter)

- It's Baloo's young friend!

- Huh?

(wind whistling)

- Good, he's seen me!

(monkeys chatter)

- Chil!

- Mowgli, Mowgli, where are you, Mowgli?

I'm worried.

Mowgli?

Something's wrong.

(sad music)

- Huh?

Kichi, are you all right, little friend?

Where's Mowgli?

- Ooooooohhhhhhh, monkeys got him.

- Monkeys, you shay?

Shere Khan's behind this.

- Help Mowgli!

He's in great danger.

- Oh, I can't very well leave Kichi here

in this condition.

Trust that Baloo to disappear

just when there's an emergency,

leaving me to do all the work, aaargh.

(buzzing)

- (slurps) Nothing like a paw full of honey.

If Mowgli studied harder, I'd reward him

with a sweet slurp or two. (slurps)

(swooping wings)

- [Chil] Baloo!

- Mmm-hmmm.

Oh!

- I have a message for you.

- A message for me?

Since when are kites the messengers of the jungle?

- I'm here as a favor to your friend, Mowgli.

- Huh? You saw Mowgli?

- Yes, and he looked as if he was in some trouble.

(monkeys chatter)

- Chil, please help me!

Listen, monkeys, we be of one blood, he and I.

- Hmmmm, he remembered the password perfectly.

I guess I'm really a good teacher after all.

- Baloo, do you want to hear the message or not?

- Sure.

- Mowgli has been captured by a group of monkeys

and they're taking him away.

He hopes you'll help him out.

- Huh? Captured by monkeys?

This is terrible.

I hate to trouble you, but could you watch

where they take Mowgli?

I'll follow right behind with reinforcements.

- What?

I'm a kite, not a messenger bird.

I flew all the way over here as a favor to Mowgli.

That's enough work for one day.

- Sorry, Mr. Chil, I'd forgotten

what an important bird you are.

You're known as the king of the sky, aren't you?

- Why, yes, I happen to have a royal reputation.

- And I hear you fly very fast.

- Nobody's faster.

- Well, then, you ought to show those monkeys they're wrong.

- How's that?

- They called you a puffed-up old slowpoke.

- Called me a slowpoke, did they?

- If we work together, we could

teach those monkeys a lesson.

- And we will, don't worry, Baloo,

I'll find out where they took Mowgli.

Slowpoke, am I?

(wings swooping)

- That's settled.

Now I better get help.

If only Bagheera were here.

How come panthers are never around when you need them? Hmph.

- Ooooh, I couldn't eat another bite.

- What a leader Vermillion is!

That was our best hunt ever.

- What are we going to do if he really leaves?

- (growls) Huh?

What do you want, Bagheera?

- Put that panda down.

You don't know where it's been.

- Sura and Lala, take care of Kichi

while Akru goes and finds Luri.

- Kichi looks badly hurt.

- But, Bagheera!

- No questions, go!

- What's the matter, Bagheera?

- Well, hmmmm?

- Where were you? - Where were you?

- Something dreadful's happened.

- I know, Mowgli's been kidnapped by monkeys.

- Mmm-hmm, you know?

Chil the kite is watching where they take him.

- Bagheera, what's going on here?

- I don't have time to explain.

We need help.

- I'll volunteer.

- What's the matter with all of you?

Mowgli's in danger.

- That's not our problem.

Mowgli's a human.

- What was that? (growls)

Akela, why aren't you speaking for the pack?

- I can't.

(bird screeching)

- Huh?

(wings flapping)

- It's Chil.

- Baloo, the monkeys crossed the Kohenor River

at the western rim of the jungle.

- They crossed the river?

That's tiger country!

- They're heading toward the Cold Lair.

- I was afraid of that.

(thunder rumbles)

- Bagheera, what's happened to Mowgli?

- The monkeys have carried him to the Cold Lair.

- It can't be!

(thunder rumbles)

- What is this Cold Lair?

- It's a place where humans lived a very long time ago.

- There is a curse on it.

It's a place of violence and destruction.

Wise hunters never go near it.

- Then we're not going there to help Mowgli.

- You seem ready to give up in advance.

Up until now, I haven't known wolves

to be such cowards.

- What's that?

- Don't help us, but stay here with Luri while we're gone.

- Farewell, Akela, the time will come

when the pack needs your wisdom.

Don't lose heart, old friend.

We'll be back soon with Mowgli.

(water drip)

- Huh?

(rain falling)

- I'm coming with you, Baloo, wait, huh?

Vermillion, don't stop me.

I must go to my son.

- I promised I'd stay here with you. (growls)

- But, Father!

Make him go!

- Lala, your father made a promise.

I can't make him go back on his word.

(lightning crackles)

(thunder rumbles)

(loud rain falling)

- Sandah, I'm going to join the rescue party.

Will you come?

- Thank you, father.

- Why are you doing this?

- Alexander was the greatest wolf I ever knew.

Mowgli is his son, and I must help him.

- I don't understand why he changed his mind.

- Long ago, Vermillion was Alexander's rival

for the love of Luri.

- Don't worry, I'll do my utmost to see he isn't hurt.

(tense music)

(running feet)

- Is that the fastest you can run, Baloo?

- I'm doing my best.

How am I supposed to keep up with that skinny cat?

(grunts)

- I'm going to run on ahead.

- Wait for me!

- I know you want to help, Baloo,

but I can go much faster alone.

- I understand, but I don't want you

to have to face Shere Khan all by yourself.

- I'll be all right.

(dramatic music)

(thunder rumbles)

(monkeys laugh)

- Huh? (gasps)

(rain falling)

(thunder rumbles)

- [Louis] You wanted to learn about humans, man cub?

Well look around you. (laughs)

- Huh?

- You can't say we didn't keep our promise.

(monkeys chatter)

(grunts)

(lightning crackles)

(thunder rumbles)

- Huh?

(dramatic, pounding music)

- Don't lose sight of him.

(monkeys chatter)

(dramatic, pounding music)

(lightning crackles)

(music intensifies)

- Did humans really make all this?

- Oh, yes, and much more.

You see there was a time when a great herd

of humans lived here.

- If the herd was so great, why are they all gone?

- They destroyed each other.

- Destroyed each other?

How could they have done that?

(fire roars)

(horses whinny)

(arrows whistle)

(clanking jewels)

(shouting men)

(galloping horses)

- [Louis] It was as though a fever had seized them.

Brother turned against brother,

and friends became enemies, all for worthless mounds

of shiny pebbles.

In the end, nothing remained but the silent stones.

- Then it's true, humans really are heartless and cruel.

(cries)

- You must be feeling terrible right now, Mowgli.

Let us end your misery.

- Huh?

- Face it, humans are dreadful creatures.

They hunt for sport and even hurt each other.

But the great Shere Khan is different.

When he hunts, it's because he must.

- What do you mean?

- [Tabaqui] Well, well.

- Huh?

- Mr. Mowgli, welcome to the city.

Animals know this place as the Cold Lair,

and believe there's a curse on it.

No hunter ever comes here, so your friends will stay away.

- [Shere Khan] Enough yapping, Tabaqui.

- It's Shere Khan!

(thunder rumbles)

(intense music)

(gasps)

- Uhhh, uhhhh.

- How long I have waited for this.

- (gasps)

- Do you really think you can escape me, man cub?

- Uh, uh.

(growls)

(shouts)

- Running off so soon, Mowgli? (roars)

- Aaaah!

- (laughs) I haven't enjoyed a hunt this much in ages,

but all good things come to an end. (roars)

(smacking sound)

- Huh?

- Bagheera!

- Mowgli, find a place to hide and don't worry.

Help is on it's way.

- Too late, you're mine, boy!

- Run for it!

- Aaaaah!

- I said run, Mowgli, hurry!

(growls)

- Follow the boy!

(monkeys screeching)

(running footsteps)

- I'll catch you, man cub.

- (grunts)

(stomping sounds)

- Aaaaaaaa!

(growls)

- You would have been wiser to stay away, Bagheera.

Now you're going to pay for your insolent meddling.

(growls)

(falling rocks)

- Sorry, got to run. (laughs)

(monkeys chatter)

- Don't just stand there,

stop the panther from reaching Mowgli!

(monkeys screeching)

- (groans)

- (gasps)

(rubble falling)

(monkeys screeching)

- Heh, heh, heh, you can run Mowgli,

but you can't hide, heh, heh, heh.

(music intensifies)

- (gasps)

- Hi!

(monkeys chatter)

- Uhhh!

(lightning crackles)

(thunder rumbles)

- Time for the final showdown, Mowgli.

- (cries)

- (roars)

- (shrieks)

- Out of my way!

Who's that?

(monkeys chatter)

- Huh?

- Huh?

I knew it!

- Mowgli, now's your chance, get away!

- What about you, Baloo?

- Don't worry about me, Mowgli.

I've got something for you, Shere Khan!

(monkey falling)

- Monkeys, you know what you must do.

Stop that bothersome bear!

- (howls)

- (grunts)

- (growls)

(monkey falling)

- You've pulled your last stunt, Mowgli.

Your little bag of tricks is finally empty.

- [Mowgli] Baloo!

(smacking sound)

- Now, let's get out of here!

- Not so fast, Baloo. (growls)

(roars)

(monkey screeching)

- (moans)

- Huh?

- (groans)

- Vermillion!

- (growls)

- (shouts)

- Okay, where's that panther, well?

- Sandah!

- I want Bagheera to know wolves aren't cowards.

- Hey, Sandah!

- Huh?

- I take it all back, you're a brave wolf.

- Bagheera!

- Guess we better show that tiger we mean business! (roars)

- Are you monkeys or mice?

Attack!

(monkeys growl)

- Look out, monkeys! Aaaah!

(monkeys shriek)

(growls)

- If it isn't my old friend, Vermillion. (roars)

- (roars)

- You're mine. Huh?

(gunshots)

(gasps)

(engines revving)

- S-s-s-s-sounds like humans!

- Humans, oh, no!

- What do we do now?

(engines revving)

(music intensifies)

- Real live humans?

(brakes screeching)

(engines revving)

- Humans!

I'm finally going to see them!
