(birds sing)

- [Mowgli] Here I go.

- [Jumeirah] Keep it up now, Mowgli!

Sharpen those hunting skills!

- You may fool her but not us, jungle boy!

You're no hunter, you're much too young to hunt.

- Yeah, and besides, real hunters use rifles,

everyone knows that.

You're a big faker.

- If you're a hunter, why don't you go catch a tiger.

- [Both] Yeah, catch a tiger!

- Tough guy!

(all laughing)

(Mowgli grunting)

(suspenseful music)

- Hmm.

(Water running)

Where is Shere Khan?

(water splashes)

He's certainly not in his lair.

- Hmm.

Nothing, no sign of Shere Khan,

but surely someone has seen him.

(grass rustles)

Hm?

(Hyena gasps)

- Hi Mister Panther.

- Have you seen a tiger around lately?

- T-t-tiger?

Why uh, no Mister Panther, sir, now that you mention it,

I haven't seen any tigers, not a single one,

I swear.

(Bagheera growls)

- Let me rephrase the question,

have you seen Shere Khan around here?

If you say no, I'm going to be very disappointed.

- Ah, uh, no, I haven't seen him lately.

- How about Tabaqui?

- Who?

- Tabaqui!

Have you seen that jackal or not?

- No, I can't say I have.

- You're lying!

(Hyena whimpers)

Where is Tabaqui hiding?

- I'm telling you, I haven't seen Tabaqui in days.

He's disappeared with Shere Khan.

- Hm. If you're not telling me the truth,

I'm liable to become highly upset.

- I swear to you, Mister Panther,

I haven't seen Tabaqui or Shere Khan.

(Bagheera growls)

It's the truth, Bagheera, please don't be angry.

- If you were hiding something, I'd know by now.

(Bagheera growls)

(Hyena yelps)

(Hyena whines)

Tabaqui, I'll find you and Shere Khan, beware!

(Bagheera roars)

(birds singing)

(soft orchestra music with bells)

- [Akru] No sign of Shere Khan anywhere.

- No, Akru, he's apparently gone to great lengths

to keep from being detected.

I'm afraid he may be planning an attack.

- If that's true, then we must find him Bagheera.

- You're right, Sura, and whatever he's planning,

Tabaqui is in it with him.

If we do find them, they'll put up a terrible fight.

- Bagheera, we're going to need a strategy.

- Yes and we already have one.

Old Akela came up with it.

- He did?

- Yes and it's a good strategy.

It hinges on trapping Shere Khan in the river canyon.

- That would deprive him of room to maneuver, right?

- Mmhm, are you following, Mowgli?

- I think so.

- If the tiger can't maneuver,

- He's trapped.

- Precisely.

A big animal like Shere Khan needs a lot of open ground.

- So if we catch him in the canyon,

- Then he'll be at a disadvantage.

He'd be wise to surrender.

- Hooray, that's a terrific strategy!

Wonderful!

But if Shere Khan is trapped,

won't he escape along the river bank?

- Good point Mowgli, we'll need guards on hand to stop him.

- How about the buffalo?

- Mmhm.

- Great idea!

We can herd them into the river canyon.

- We'll trap Shere Khan but beating him won't be easy.

- Don't you worry about that Bagheera.

I'll make sure he's defeated.

- [Both] We'll be there every

step of the way to help you, Mowgli.

(Mowgli laughs)

- We wolves stick together, don't we?

- [Both] Mm hm.

- Alright, time to find Shere Khan,

I won't rest until I've tracked him down.

Wish me luck.

(birds singing)

- Well Bagheera, did you tell Mowgli and the others

about my strategy?

- Yes Akela.

- And did they all approve of it?

(Bagheera laughs)

- They sure did, Baloo.

Now then, has Shere Khan been spotted?

- I'm afraid not.

- That cursed tiger!

- [Lala] Hi.

- [Luri] Hello.

- [All] Oh hi Luri.

- Have you found Shere Khan yet Bagheera?

- What? Shere Khan?

- Come now, I know you plan to trap him in the canyon.

- Luri, how do you know about that?

- I'm the one who told her about it.

- Lala, you weren't supposed to go repeating that to Luri.

- [Both] And you weren't supposed to tell Lala!

- No harm done, perhaps I can help.

I know how you can slow Shere Khan before you confront him.

Just see to it that he captures a couple jungle pigs.

- That way he'll fill his stomach.

- Exactly.

His full belly will weigh him down.

Everyone knows that a tiger is less dangerous

when he's well fed then when he's hungry.

That's true of Shere Khan.

- Yes, as always Luri, you have spoken wisely.

- And we will use your wise advice to defeat Shere Khan,

that is if we ever manage to track him down.

(All sighs)

- Hey everybody, I've found Tabaqui.

- You sure, Chil?

- I'm positive, he's holed up below the flowering grove

in the river canyon.

- [All] Did you say the river canyon?

- That's right.

- What luck!

- Bagheera! Tabaqui's hiding

in a cave near the flowering grove.

I think Shere Khan is with him, be careful.

- Thanks Chil!

(intense string music)

(water running)

- Ah, the grove is in full bloom.

Huh?

(distinguished trumpet music)

I've found Shere Khan, I better take a closer look.

(Birds singing)

- [Kaa] Psst

- Hm?

What's up?

- Shere Khan is in there, I saw him.

- Good work Kaa, I'll tell the others.

- I'll stay here and keep a look out.

- Right, see you soon.

(buffalo bellowing)

(Mowgli grunting)

- [Mowgli] Oh, hi Chil!

- I have good news Mowgli, we found Shere Khan.

He's lurking in a cave with Tabaqui.

- That's terrific!

Thanks Chil!

- It's not me you should thank, Mowgli,

Kaa and Bagheera spotted Shere Khan.

- Where was he hiding?

- In the river canyon, near the flowering grove.

We have him where we want him, Mowgli,

Bagheera sends word to be ready tomorrow,

as soon as the sun rises.

Good luck, my young friend, and be brave.

- I will.

(river running)

(water splashes)

(Hyena yawns)

- Ah, breakfast.

(distinguished trumpet music)

(Shere Khan laughs)

- Go!

(water splashes)

(Shere Khan roars)

- They fell for it Akela, now they'll eat their fill.

- Yes, Baloo, when Shere Khan has eaten,

his reflexes will slow down for a while.

But he'll still have a quick temper.

(Both laugh)

I hope Mowgli and the others are alright.

- Mm.

(buffalo bellows)

(birds sing)

- [Mowgli] Round them up Akru!

Hi yah!

(hoofs pounding)

- Whoa!

- Oh no, the buffalo!

Wait, come back!

- [All] Wait!

- Hm.

- I hope nothing's happened to Mowgli.

- Now, now, Baloo, he's a little late, that's all.

- And don't forget, Bagheera and the others are with him.

They'll be along soon.

(upbeat orchestra music)

(wind whistles)

(fire crackles)

- [Mowgli] Hi yah!

(water splashes)

- Get along there!

- Go!

Go!

- Huh?

Tabaqui, wake up, I hear a strange noise.

- Huh? Sounds like thunder, guess we're in for a storm.

(Tabaqui yawns)

(Shere Khan yawns)

- Halt!

- Ah.

- Shere Khan, hear me, law breaking tiger!

I come with a warning, leave our jungle and never return,

or face the consequences.

(Shere Khan roars)

- Who dares speak threateningly to Shere Khan?

(Tabaqui yelps)

- It is I, Mowgli who speak thus.

I am the son of Alexander.

- And I'm Mowgli's brother, Akru.

- I'm his brother Sura!

- Oh, man cub, you and your pipsqueak brothers

have the audacity to threaten me?

(Shere Khan roars)

Now, you will taste my wrath, insolent man cub.

[All Growl]

- [Mowgli] No, wait.

The sons of Alexander can handle this tiger.

Let us face him.

- I understand, Mowgli.

For your father's sake, we will stand aside

and leave this to the sons of Alexander.

(Shere Khan chuckles)

- Like father, like son.

(Shere Khan roars)

(Mowgli gasps)

(Mowgli yelps)

(Shere Khan howls)

- [Mowgli] Ya!

(Shere Khan growls)

(Mowgli grunts)

(Shere Khan roars)

(Sura whines)

(Akru growls)

(Fire roars)

(Mowgli grunts)

(Shere Khan growls)

(Wolves barking)

(Baloo and Akela growling)

- Ah!

- Hm?

(Mowgli pants)

(Shere Khan chuckles)

- Ah!

(Shere Khan roars)

(Mowgli yells)

- I've had to wait a long time, but now man cub,

you're mine!

(Wolves growl)

Let me go!

(Sura whines)

- Shere Khan!

(Shere Khan roars)

(Mowgli yells)

(Bagheera yells)

(Mowgli pants)

(Shere Khan yells)

(Shere Khan grunts)

- No choice, Mowgli, end it now.

(Mowgli yells)

(Shere Khan roars)

(intense music)

(river running)

- Huh?

(triumphant music)

(wolves howling)

(Mowgli howls)
