- Will you sh...

Captain Boone, thank God!

What is he doing here?

That wasn't part of the plan,

now was it, Buldeo?

- It was a mistake.

- Captain Boone.

Am I to understand

you're with this scum?

Much to my surprise, sir.

I have many friends in low places.

Sgt. Harley?

I've had 25 years of the likes of you

without making a penny from it,

so don't you Sgt. Harley me,

you silly wee man!

My God! I've never heard such

insubordination! Lieutenant Wilks?

It's Wilkins, sir. Look,

I know this looks bad, sir.

Oh, shut up, Wilkins.

Look here.

You're all soldiers in the British Army.

You're under my command, and I order

you to return to the fort immediately!

To be hung, drawn or quartered?

No, no, I'm afraid that won't do at all.

- This is treason!

- No.!

Oh, God, now we're in it.

- Ah! You woman, you!

- How could you do this?

But you don't know what's

at the end of the rainbow, my sweet.

- Why have you brought us here?

- I will answer that!

Ah... right on time.

Come down here.

Or else unpleasantries may occur.

Tabaqui! Schula!

- This is good!

- Take us to the treasure and she'll live.

I will take you there,

and we will see who lives.

Why do you suppose

he stares at us like that?

Because to him... you are food.

Oh, good.

My God! Listen to that.

Aw, are the noises bothering you,

sonny?

Can't you get 'em to shut up?

A man talking to animals?

Is this done?

If we don't get my father to a doctor,

he'll die.

He's a British officer. He can make do.

So, my jungle friend,

where do we go from here?

Follow the mountains.

- And then?

- And then, if you are still alive,

I will tell you more.

Shut up.

Shut up.

- Shut up!

- Aye. Shut up.

Calm yourself, Wilkins.

What's that?

How the hell should I know?

Never heard anything like that in my life.

It is Shere Khan. He's returning.

Good. I'd like to bag me a tiger.

Do not be wishing for this tiger, sahib.

He's the devil.

Shere Khan hunts us.

I must protect you from him.

I must escape.

- We're going with you.

- No.

It's safer with

these men and their guns.

Be careful.

I will come back for you.

I know.

Oh, stop.

Ah! He's escaped!

Wake up! He's escaped!

No, no. No, no!

Boone, help me! Boone! Wilkins!

- Somebody help me.!

- Harley, what are you doing in there?

It's quicksand, Wilkins!

It's sucking me down.

- It's got my legs! It's sucking me under!

- Gimme your hand!

Get Gimme your hand!

- Stretch to me. Come on.

- Gimme your hand, Wilkins!

- Come on, reach!

- I can't.

- Come on.

- That's a boy.

- Come here. Harley, you're pulling me. Harley!

- Don't!

- Don't let go.!

- You're pulling me in!

Damn you, Wilkins!

- Harley.

- Well,

let's not be discouraged

by every little thing.

Let's go.

- Go on.

- But my father.

You can't leave my father!

He'll die!

Such is life.

God!

Come. We must go, quickly.

Hey.

- My friend will take you back to the village.

- Friend?

An elephant.

It had to be an elephant.

Bring her back for me.

Please.

Mowgli.

I think a man lucky who can

count you as a friend.

Tut, tut, tut, tut.

Tut, tut, tut, tut?

Whoa! Bloody elephants!

Bane of my existence.

This'd be a damn fine country if it

wasn't for all the bloody elephants.!

Now this is just great.

Great.!

Just... Just be careful

with that thing, will you?

Bloody oaf!

"Join the army" they say.

"See the world" they say. This is

singly the most ridiculous thing...

I've ever done in my life.!

Once I get back to soci

Ow.!

Bloody mosquitoes.!

Bloody jungle.!

Bloody jungle.!

My father lives.

What a shame.

Well, shall we continue?

Kill him.

Mowgli.!

No!

Come on.

My God!

- What is that?

- Sounds like monkeys.

Monkey City.

Shere Khan!

- My God, what are they doing?

- They run from Shere Khan!

Boone?

Boone.!

Boone.!

Boone!

Wilkins.! You bloody shot me.!

- Oops.

- Wilkins.! I am going to be killing you.!

Stupid.

Oh, my God, I've been shot.!

Stupid.

Wilkins!

Wilkins!

You could die too, you know?

He won't let me die.

- You're hurting me.

- Behave yourself and I won't.

Follow him!

Follow King Louis to your treasure.

Damn.

See, Katherine?

It's not all that disgusting.

It's not the place,

It's the company.

It's beautiful.

Brilliant.

- Mowgli!

- Come on!

I'm knowing you are down here,

my little man cub.!

Huh?

My leg!

No!

Help me!

Buldeo?

Buldeo?

No!

So, you've returned

to seal your fate, have you?

Friend of yours?

Aha.

Oh, dear.

What do you think you have

that I don't, huh?

Strength of a bear.

- Speed of a panther.

- No!

- No.!

- Heart of a wolf!

And very sharp teeth.

Oh.

Kitty, come! We must go quickly!

- We have to take some with us.

- This treasure only brings death!

- Just one thing.

- Please.

Katherine.!

Look what we can have together.

Katherine, come back.!

All right, go then! Go!

Go with your jungle boy.!

I got what I came for.!

I don't need you.

What's happening?

Shere Khan sees me not as a man,

but as a creature of the jungle.

Hello.

Look who's here.

Baloo.

He was a very good patient.

Hmm? Yes, you are.

Look!

So that is how it came to pass,

that Mowgli, keeper of the jungle law,

protector of creatures great and small,

became lord of the jungle.

So listen well and hear the call...

and long life to those

that keep the jungle law.
