Which one do you think is better?

Bagheerai neither.

What do you mean?

I'm bringing you to the man village.

What?

Bagheera, I don't know man.

You will.

You always said

we're not supposed

to go near a man village.

That was different.

Why is it different?

You always said, "stay away

from the man village...

"Because you might fall in a trap...

"Or get eaten,

or get hurt by flying rocks."

I know what I said.

Whoa. Elephants.

- Bow your head.

- Why?

Show them respect.

The elephants

created this jungle.

Where they made furrows

with their tusks,

the rivers ran.

Where they blew with

their trunks, the leaves fell.

They made all that belongs.

The mountains, the trees...

The birds in the trees.

But they did not make you.

That is why you must go.

What if I live with the nilgai?

No.

Or the mongoose?

This is not a discussion.

But this is my home!

I don't even know what man's like.

You'll learn.

But I wanna stay in the jungle.

Why do I have to go there?

Because the jungle

is no longer safe for you.

You're being hunted...

B'! 8 get.

Only man can protect you now.

Whoa!

This isn't fair.

You're not giving me a choice.

There's a lot of stuff

you're not telling me, too.

Don't think I didn't notice.

You say you're taking me

where I came from...

But you found me in the jungle.

Are you bringing me back

to the jungle? No.

Why are you bringing me

to the man village

if you found me in the jungle?

And why does the tiger

hate me so much?

Does he know me?

Sure seems like he knows me.

Down.

What? Now we have to bow

to the buffalo, too?

Listen to me. This is not a game.

You're gonna run to that ravine.

What are you talking about?

Go to the north,

where the sky glows at night.

I'll find you on that path.

Bagheera, I'm not taking one

more step until you tell me...

Bagheerai run, mowgli!

Run!

Gray, what's wrong?

Why don't you come outside and play?

What is that?

Why did he have to leave?

Gray.

We could've protected him.

We shouldn't have let him go.

I miss him, too.

What's important is, he's safe now.

Get inside.

I suppose you know why I've come.

The man-cub has left the jungle.

I thought I made myself clear.

I wanted him turned over to me.

We no longer harbour him.

He has left the pack.

And where, may I ask, has he gone?

He's with his own kind now.

So, the man-cub has left the jungle.

Akelai that's right.

You and I no longer have a quarrel.

And, most importantly...

We have peace.

I guess it's done, then.

Unless I can draw him...

Back out!

Akela!

Have I got your attention now?

I didn't want it to be this way.

I made it so simple.

All I asked for was one thing,

and you denied me!

That ends now.

Spread the word.

Until I have the man-cub,

these hills are my hills.

You did not respond to reason!

So now, you will know fear.

Bagheera?

Hmm?

Hey, there.

Do you have a language?

You're kind of cute, I guess.

You want a bite?

Come on.

Come here. Come on, it's all right.

Don't be afraid.

Come on.

Hey, those are mine!

Hey, come back!

Those are mine!

Drop it!

Hello?

Who's out there?

Kaai hi, little cub.

Oh, no. Don't be scared.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

I was just passing through.

I don't want any trouble.

There's no trouble.

Are you alone out here?

Mmm. That's not good.

We should never be alone.

I'm waiting for a friend.

He should be here soon.

I can stay with you,

until he gets here.

Would that be all right?

I'll keep you safe.

Just you and me, sweet thing.

Who are you?

Kaa.

Poor, sweet little cub.

What are you doing

so deep in the jungle?

This is my home.

Don't you know what you are?

I know what you are.

I know where you came from.

You do?

Yes.

Would you like to see?

Yeah.

Kaa". Mostly, men stay in their village...

Far from the dark of the jungle.

But sometimes...

They travel.

And when they do...

Their caves breathe in the dark.

They call it...

The red flower.

Man's creation.

It brings warmth and light...

And destruction to all that it touches.

Who is that?

The traveller, protecting his cub.

Shere Khan ended

the man's life that night.

But not before he was burned

by the red flower's touch.

He ran so fast, he didn't

notice the cub he left behind.

And that cub...

Was you.

The panther found you.

Oh, you poor, sweet thing.

You want to stay in the jungle?

You can be with me, if you want.

I'll keep you close.

Let go of your fear, now.

Trust...

In me.

Relax, kid.

No need to get worked up. Okay?

- Where am I?

- Uh...

This is a cave. It's my cave.

You don't remember

what happened, do you?

- No.

- I saved your life.

Yeah, I snatched you

from the jaws of death.

The coils of death, if you will.

And lucky for you...

Your new favourite hero,

old baloo, here...

Just happened to be passing by.

Uh, no big deal.

Just tell me this.

Can you...

Climb?

Yeah.

Then let's quit wasting time

and get on with it.

Get on with what?

Payback, kid. Payback.

What do you mean "payback"?

Payback for what?

You owe me, kid.

You owe me. You owe me.

Slow down.

- And you're gonna pay back.

- But, but...

Because that's right.

You're gonna do the right thing.

That's the right thing to do.

You're gonna pay me back,

because you owe me.

You got it?

Okay, here's our little task.

You see that golden stuff,

dripping down there?

That's called "honey."

All you need to do, little one...

For payback purposes...

Is to just shimmy on up there...

And get me that thing up there

that's making that funny noise...

And bring it back down.

You're kidding me, right?

No, not really.

I can get killed

going up there.

Kid!

Kid, kid, kid. Try to understand this.

I'm a bear.

It means that I have to eat my weight...

Every day...

For hibernation purposes.

I know I'm asking for a lot...

But I don't climb and you do.

Look, I really need your help.

Winter's coming.

You don't want me to go to sleep...

And never wake up.

There are a lot of bees up here.

Yeah, some.

But don't worry. These ones don't sting.

Attaboy!

Ow! I'm getting stung!

Okay-

I would've done this myself,

but I'm afraid of heights.

Oh, boy. Here we go again.

Why don't you mind your own business?

You can do it!

- He's just gonna run away.

- Not this one.

As soon as the monkeys get

stung, they always run away.

- He's not a monkey. A man-cub.

- What is he?

A man-cub?

Yeah! Could you keep your voice down?

I'm trying to concentrate.

- Everything going a-okay up there?

- Ow!

Oh, boy. Looks like you got another one.

- Buzz off.

-Lt's a man-cub.

- A man-cub?

- Yeah, it's a man-cub.

- It's not a monkey?

- No, it's a man-cub!

You have never been

a more endangered species...

Than you are at this moment.

You're doing an amazing job!

I'm getting stung!

Oh, boy. Here we go again.

-It's not a monkey, Fred.

-Lt's a man-cub.

- A man-cub?

- Yeah, it's a man-cub.

- Can you believe it?

- Are you sure?

Would you please shut up?
