Nice outfit there, Jane.

You look like you're

about to give me a hug.

I wasn't.

Look like you were.

An open letter to His

Serene Majesty, Leopold the 2nd,

King of the Belgians.

Every charge I'm about to bring against

your Majesty's personal government of Congo

has been carefully investigated.

We have witnesses, documents,

letters and official records

to bring to your attention.

And to verify our claims

of your systematic abuse

and enslavement of the Congolese people.

George Washington Williams.

July 18th, 1890

They are singing

the legend of Tarzan.

For many moons he was

thought to be an evil spirit.

A ghost in the trees.

They speak of his power over

the animals of the jungle.

Because his spirit came from them.

He understood them.

And learned to be

as one with them.
