them longer and stronger.

See how strong they are?

You wanna see the really cool part?

It's inside. Come on, let's go!

Come on!

It's the honey stash for winter!

Have you lost your mind?

You said you wouldn't get mad.

Did you listen to anything

akela taught you?

There's no place...

In the jungle for these...

Tricks!

You want to do this,

you do this in the man village.

But I'm helping baloo

get ready for hibernation.

Bears don't hibernate in a jungle.

What are you teaching him?

Not full hibernation, but I nap a lot.

Listen to me, you con artist!

He may not know your game, but I do.

- He's leaving now.

- But I don't wanna leave!

You don't have a choice!

Why don't we all just

settle down for a minute.

Look, it's gotten late.

Too late to travel.

So, why don't we all

just have a little honey...

I don't eat honey.

No problem. I'll eat the honey.

Let's all get a good night's sleep...

And we can talk about this

in the morning.

Fine. But we're leaving, first thing.

Bagheerai mowgli.

Where is he?

- In the pit.

- In the what?

- Is this your teaching?

- Oh, come on!

You know I'd never teach him

to mess around with elephants.

Hey, guys.

What'd I tell you? He's special.

I know he's special.

I raised him.

Then don't make him leave, bagheera!

You gotta let him be what he is.

You don't understand.

The boy's in danger.

I know, he told me.

He's being hunted by a tiger.

Not any get. Share Khan.

Shere Khan's hunting him?

Oh.

But if you send him back

to the man village,

they'll ruin him.

They'll make a man out of him.

We should send him back

to the wolf pack.

Who's their Alpha?

Akela, he can protect him.

Akela is dead.

- What?

- Shere Khan killed him.

He will stop at nothing

until he has this boy.

Nothing.

The only way we can save him...

Is if he goes to that man village.

Please, baloo.

You're the only one he'll listen to.

Hey, kid.

Hey.

That was pretty cool,

what you did back there.

Bagheera didn't think so.

Oh, no, I talked to him.

He was very impressed.

He was?

We both were. Yeah.

I've never seen anyone get

that close to an elephant before.

So, listen, kid.

I gotta talk to you about something.

What do you wanna talk about?

I've been thinking.

Now that your friend has shown up...

Maybe it's time...

For you two to just mosey along.

Now it's winter...

And it's really time for you to go.

But I wanna stay here with you.

We're buddies, aren't we?

Huh? No, we were never friends.

I certainly never thought

of you as my friend.

You helped me get honey

and I don't really need you any more...

Do I have to spell this out?

I don't want you around any more.

I did it.

And that's about the hardest thing

I've ever done.

I know.

Go away.

Get away from me.

Stop it.

Get away from me!

Bagheera!

Mowgli!

Mowgli, hold on!

Bagheera!

What was that?

Where are they taking him?

Bagheerai this way.

Mowglii ahh! Ah!

Whoa!

We see you! We see you!

Come on, jump!

And watch the claws.

Gah!

Uh...

I'll take it from here.

No, I'm coming.

It's doable...

If I don't have to go too high.

Good. Let's get going.

All right.

A bird. That can't be a good sign.

Baloo.

Look at me. Look at nothing but me.

- Hmm?

- You're doing fine.

Just keep your eyes up high.

All right. I'm coming. I'm coming.

What part of the jungle you from?

You, man-cub.

You come from the south, the north?

What part of the jungle?

The south, I guess.

Southern jungle, the seeonee.

Beautiful, I hear.

I never been there myself.

So, tell me, you ever had

a taste of the pawpaw fruit...

Down there in the seeonee?

Some people call it the...

What's the word?

Papaya. Stolen words.

I say pawpaw.

Goes to the sound it makes

when it tumbles to the jungle floor.

Try it.

Go ahead.

It's good.

You know who I am?

No.

I am the king of the bandar-log.

Call me Louie.

I did it!

Well done, old chap.

He must be in there.

Follow me.

No, no.

We're on level ground here.

I'm in charge.

And I've got a plan.

You are a man-cub

who wants to live in the jungle.

How do you know that?

Kid...

I got ears. My ears got ears.

You wanna live here?

You need a people to protect you.

Only I can protect you...

And I will, for a price.

I don't have anything to give you.

I think you do.

What?

Look around, man-cub.

I got everything.

I have plentiful food...

Endless treasure...

Command vast legions.

But there's one thing I don't have...

And that's the one thing...

You can give me.

The red flower.

I don't have that!

You're a man, aren't you?

That's what makes you a man.

You can summon the red flower...

And control it.

They told me not to go near

the red flower.

You know why they tell you that?

Because once you have it,

you rise to the top of the food chain.

Nothing in this jungle can stand up...

To the red flower.

Please, I just wanna go.

Now, don't try to kid me, man-cub

I'll make a deal with you

what I desire is man's red fire

to make my dream come true

now give me the secret, man-cub

come on!

Clue me what to do

give me the power

of man's red flower

so I can be like you

oh, ooo-be do

I wanna be like you-oo-oo

I wanna walk like you,

talk like you too-oo-oo

you'll see it's true-oo-oo,

someone like me-ee-ee

can learn to be

like someone like you-oo-oo

now you might think

it's ridiculous that me

a gigantopithecus,

would ever dream

I'd like to team with

the likes of you, man-cub

but together we'd have powers

all the jungle's treasures, ours

I got desire, you got the fire

but the dream I dream takes two

so, 00-00-00

I wanna be like you-oo-oo

I wanna use that flame

just the same as you can do

oh, how magnificus it would be

a gigantopithecus like me

could learn to do

like you humans do-oo-oo

just one thing we need...

To reach our full potential.

Bring me that red flower...

And we will rule this jungle.

I will protect you.

And you will want for nothing,

ever again.

I can't!

You can't or you won't?

I can't!

You will!

Excuse me!

Anybody?

Excuse me...

Am I in the right monkey temple?

Oh, my gosh.

Is that king Louie?

This is so exciting.

The legends do you no justice, sir.

You are truly enormous.

In the best way.

Look at all of that flesh...

Just squatting there...

On an ancient throne.

How majestic.

Seize him.

Hey, hang on.

Can you just hang on?

I climbed a mountain to see you,

and I'm not a climber.

Just to be in your presence.

For me, this is a dream come true. Oh...

Throw him off the cliff.

Wait, wait, wait.

I have no problem with that.

I don't have any problem with that.

I came up here without an invitation.

It was extremely presumptuous of me.

Let me interrupt myself.

I just gotta say...

You guys are so much handsomer

in person than anyone knows.

No one ever gets up close to you.

Why?

Because of the smell.

The smell is rough.

But it's not just, "oh, look at me."

It's, "i got the brains."

You guys got the know-how.

You got the noggin.
