(grunts)

- He'll be sound asleep for hours.

- And won't Mowgli be surprised

when he finally wakes up in captivity?

- Well, what now, Rizwan?

Still going to sell him to the circus?

- Of course I am.

He's no use to me, he's more savage

than the wildest beast in the jungle.

The only place for him is in the circus,

and that's where I'll sell him.

- Will people really pay their money

to see this half-naked little waif?

- Yes, they will, when they hear he grew up in the jungle.

When they see the astonishing feats of strength

and agility he can perform,

they'll pay all they have to see him.

It was luck that I noticed him in the street,

but to capture him took cool nerves and cunning.

I brought it off without a hitch.

- It's true, Rizwan, you were clever to bait your trap

with food, the poor hungry boy never stood a chance.

(laughing)

- When we sell the boy, Rizwan,

how are we going to divide the cash?

- I'll take half, you two split the rest.

- That doesn't sound fair to me.

- You're right, I deserve more for doing all the work.

- We'll take half, Rizwan.

- Look, the boy hasn't moved.

I hope you didn't give him too much.

- The powder's potent, but when it wears off,

we better be ready because this wild boy will be

even wilder when he discovers what's happened to him.

(laughing)

(tense music)

(hooves clopping)

(bumping)

- Huh, where am I, huh?

(grunts) Ow, my head!

(struggling)

Hey, is anyone there, can anybody hear me?

Let me out of here!

This isn't funny, now let me go!

- [Man] Who there, whoa.

- Good morning, young Mowgli,

I was wondering when you'd finally awaken.

- Rizwan, it's you.

You have no right to shut me up like this.

Let me go or you're gonna regret it.

- (laughs) Good spirit you have, boy.

I'm not very worried by your threats, though,

not with those iron bars on that cage.

This time you're caught, jungle boy.

Now, we're late, it's time we were rolling.

Mm.

- Mm-hmm.

(mooing)

- Hey, were is it you're taking me, Rizwan?

- To the place where the Bombay road begins.

Hargreaves is waiting there.

- Hargreaves, who's that?

- Mr. John J. Hargreaves runs the Bombay circus.

- Bombay circus, what's a circus?

- I forgot, you wouldn't know that,

there aren't many circuses in the jungle, are there?

Let me try to explain, a circus is a place

where people go to see the wonders and mysteries

of the world, assembled under a single tent,

and the greatest circus of all is the one in Bombay.

Ah, what a show, it's unforgettable, Mowgli,

all the marvels of nature are there to be seen,

wild animals doing incredible tricks at the crack of a whip,

and then Mowgli, there are the human performers

who put on magnificent displays of skill and daring,

and of course, the clowns who weave laughter

into the thrills and excitement.

- This circus, I wouldn't like it.

- Well that's a shame because the circus

is where you'll be going after I sell you to Mr. Hargreaves.

Let's pick up the pace, you two,

if Hargreaves loses patience, he'll leave,

and then we'll have to think of some other way

to rid ourselves of that troublesome jungle boy.

(struggling) (tense music)

- Mowgli should have returned by now.

Where is he?

- I guess he's still in Kenniwara.

- Are you sure of that, Kichi?

- Huh, oh, no Baloo,

he went to Kenniwara to find Jamira,

where else could he be?

- I don't know, but I'm worried.

He could be in trouble out there.

- You're right, Baloo, Mowgli could indeed

be in trouble, but then he's not helpless.

We've all seen how resourceful he is.

Baloo, we taught him, we know his skills,

and Kichi, you've been in tight spots with him,

we should have faith in Mowgli's abilities.

- But Bagheera, he's still just a cub.

- Oh, it's true he's still young,

but his youth brings strength.

- What if he's up against humans?

Strength isn't gonna be enough.

- Kichi's right, humans are dangerous creatures.

- Maybe so, but let's not forget that Mowgli

was born a human himself.

He has the wits of a human and the skills of an animal,

he'll be all right.

- I guess. (laughing)

- But all the same, I'm worried, too.

(mysterious music)

- Mr. Hargreaves.

- Hmm, you're late, Rizwan, I don't like that.

- Oh, I'm terribly sorry, Mr. Hargreaves, sir.

We were, uh, unavoidably delayed, there was--

- Spare me the excuses.

Now then, let's have a look at this jungle boy.

- Ah, you're going to like him, sir, he's a wild one.

- Ha, this is your jungle boy, Rizwan?

Why, I've seen British schoolboys who look wilder than that.

You're trying to swindle me.

- No, I'm not, all that I've told you is true.

With my very own eyes, I've seen this boy

do incredible things, incredible.

Oh, I'll admit he looks normal enough,

but the truth is--

- All right, Rizwan, enough said.

I rather doubt the boy will do my circus much good

unless we can teach him to clean stables,

but I said I'd buy him and a deal's a deal.

- (laughing) Thank you, Mr. Hargreaves.

You two, move the cage to his wagon.

- Right away.

(grunting)

- You look upset, Mowgli.

If I were you, I'd try to relax,

it's a three-day trip to Bombay

and these iron bars make an escape unlikely.

Though if anyone can do it, you can.

(yells)

(tense music) (grunting)

- [Man] Easy now, almost there.

All right, load it on.

- If you are going to escape, better be careful.

Hargreaves has a very short temper,

and I know he has a gun.

Well, goodbye, Mowgli, it was truly a pleasure to know you.

(laughing) Let's go.

(dogs barking)

(growling)

- Quiet there, you dogs will eat

when we make camp and not a second sooner, yah.

(whinnies)

(wheels rumble)

Jungle boy, are you all right back there?

Jungle boy, I'm talking to you.

Fine, if you want to sulk, suit yourself.

(tender music)

(giggling)

- Thank you, dear Mowgli, we'll meet again soon,

I know we will.

(tense music)

- Fresh, ripe melons, sweet and juicy.

(tense music)

- [Man] And this time, don't cook it for so long,

I can't stand dry food.

- That's right, Mowgli, dig in,

there's food enough here to fill your belly.

Thirsty, have a drink of water.

(laughing)

(wheels rumble)

- I'll escape from captivity, I swear I will.

- [Mysterious Voice] Yes Mowgli, you will escape.

You will be free again, but you must be patient.

Your captor is an armed man

and he has trained hunting dogs to help him.

Wait for the right moment.

When it comes, do not hesitate,

you won't get a second chance.

Mowgli, you are a son of Alexander,

the great leader of wolves.

You must keep a cool head as your father always taught you.

You must use the skills you have learned

from Bagheera the panther and Baloo the great bear.

Choose your moment, my son, and freedom will be yours.

(growling)

(birds singing)

(tool clatters) (tense music)

(dogs barking)

- Huh?

Oh, a metal bar.

(struggling)

If I can grab that bar, I can escape.

(upbeat music)

- [Hargreaves] If India were civilized, a man could get

a decent bottle of whisky at a fair price.

(struggling)

I think I'll look in on (hiccups) the jungle boy.

- [Mowgli] I almost have it.

- Jungle boy, you're awfully quiet,

what are you up to?

Hm, nothing.

Rizwan said you were cunning.

He was plainly wrong, oh well.

I suppose I'll just have to put you to work

cleaning out the stables or watering the elephants.

You won't be much good for anything else.

Pity, I paid a handsome price for you

and all I have to show for my money is a dirty little boy

who needs a good haircut. (hiccups)

If you think I'm going to waste food on you,

you're in for quite a shock.

Hmm?

What's that crowbar doing lying there?

I suppose the dogs thought it was a plaything.

No harm done, I'll put it back in its place.

(tense music)

Worn out. (yawns)

Think I'll turn in.

- Huh?

(tense music)

(horse whinnies)

Huh?

The bar, the horse has shaken it loose.

I hope my growls frightened the horse.

(whinnies) (rattling)

It's working, I think I can hear the bar sliding my way.

(snoring)

(whinnies)

That's it, Mr. Horse, don't stop now.

You keep stamping, I have to lay my hands on that metal bar.

(tense music) (growling)

The bar, there it is.

That's it, a little more, I have it.

(growling)

(creaking)

(barking)

- Hmm, sounds like trouble.

(barking) (metal grinds)

Huh, why are the dogs making all that noise?

I suppose they've caught a rabbit.

(barking)

- Back, both of you.

(bar clangs)

(dramatic music) - The boy's escaped!

After him, don't let him get away.

(gun cocks)

(gun fires)

I'm going to teach that jungle brat a lesson.

You know what's good for you boy, you'll give up now.

I'm going to count to three, boy,

and by the time I reach three,

you better be standing in front of me, one.

- Hargreaves! (dramatic music)

(barking)

- No, my rifle!

(splashes)

- So long, gun. (laughing)

- Dogs, catch that scallywag!

(dramatic music) (barking)

Jungle boy, you'll pay for trying to escape.

Dogs, bring him down.

(snarling) (tense music)

(whines)

All right, you asked for it, boy.

(dramatic music)

You should have come peacefully.

Now it's too late for that.

(yelling)

That does it. (grunts)

Rizwan was telling the truth.

(grunts) That boy is savage.

- I made it, I escaped!

(birds singing)

Well, I'm back in Kenniwara,

but it's too dangerous to stay.

I'll have one last look for Jamira.

(sighs)

Maybe today luck will be on my side.

Huh?

(tender music)

Jamira!

Jamira, it's me, Mowgli.

- Huh?

- Huh?

(tender music)

(giggling)

- [Girl] Thank you, dear Mowgli,

we'll meet again, I know we will.

- Yes, we will, (laughing)

and in the meantime, I'm free again.

(upbeat music)

(laughing)

Yahoo!

I'm free! (laughing)
