In a world where hope seems lost, one orphaned boy's journey from despair to heroism becomes a beacon of resilience and courage, as he rises to defend the oppressed and bring justice to a corrupted city.

**Plot Summary:**
In the bustling yet gritty city of Ravenbrook, young orphan Lucas finds himself alone after a devastating fire claims the lives of his parents. Sent to a dilapidated orphanage, Lucas experiences the harsh realities of life on the streets. Despite the overwhelming odds, his indomitable spirit and a series of fortunate encounters lead him to a path of self-discovery and purpose.

Lucas's life takes a dramatic turn when he stumbles upon a secret society known as the Order of the Phoenix, a clandestine group of vigilantes dedicated to protecting the innocent and fighting against the pervasive corruption in Ravenbrook. Intrigued and desperate for a sense of belonging, Lucas persuades the Order to take him under their wing. Through rigorous training and mentorship, he hones his skills in combat, strategy, and intelligence.

As he grows into a formidable fighter, Lucas adopts the moniker "The Defender," masked and determined to rid the city of its criminal plague. His journey is fraught with peril, facing powerful adversaries such as the ruthless crime lord Victor Kane and his network of corrupt officials. Along the way, Lucas forms alliances with other vigilantes, including a brilliant hacker named Maya and a reformed thief, Alex.

Lucas's mission becomes deeply personal when he discovers that the fire that killed his parents was no accident, but part of a larger conspiracy orchestrated by Kane to seize control of the city's underground.

00:00:00So keep silence along the banks, and I will tell you one of these tales, a story as enchanting
00:00:08as the jungle itself.
00:00:11It is about pride and power and treasure, and about fangs and claws and talons, but
00:00:18mostly it is about love.
00:00:49My new command was at the edge of the world, surrounded by a million miles of jungle.
00:00:57With me was my daughter Catherine, whom everyone called Kitty.
00:01:03Leading us was an Indian guide whose son was called Mowgli.
00:01:10From the moment they were born, Mowgli and Kitty had a common bond, for both of their
00:01:15mothers had left this world while bringing them into it.
00:01:22Also with us was my good friend, Dr. Julius Plumford, who was to be our surgeon.
00:01:45Dabbed elephant! Let's go together!
00:01:59Shere Khan.
00:02:01I say, could somebody possibly grab this elephant? Sorry to bother you.
00:02:16And as surely as a tiger named Shere Khan was to be the jungle's royal keeper, Mowgli
00:02:32was destined to become its lord.
00:02:35Well done, Mowgli.
00:02:39Udal, what on earth's going on?
00:02:41Shere Khan, he's returning.
00:02:43Yeah, a tiger?
00:02:45Shere Khan, king of tigers.
00:02:47He's angry because these men with their guns have gone into his jungle
00:02:50and killed more than they can eat.
00:02:52What is a tiger carrying? A few animals here or there?
00:02:55Would you allow someone to break into your house and steal your food?
00:03:00These three broke the jungle law. Shere Khan knows it.
00:03:04You best beware.
00:03:15Shere Khan!
00:03:45Shere Khan!
00:04:15Shere Khan!
00:04:34All right.
00:04:38What is this?
00:04:41Blue.
00:04:42And in English?
00:04:43Fair.
00:04:45I bet you can't tell me what this is.
00:04:48Bagheera?
00:04:51Uh-huh.
00:04:54Panther?
00:04:55Very good.
00:05:07Oh, my God, the boy.
00:05:14Oh, my God.
00:05:44Oh, my God.
00:05:47Oh, my God.
00:06:13Where's Mowgli, father?
00:06:17He's gone, Giddy.
00:06:19The boy is gone.

00:19:25What about those over there?
00:19:27Who can name those? You see them?
00:19:29Anybody?
00:19:35Kitty?
00:19:37Yes, Doctor?
00:19:39Perhaps you can name the primates
00:19:41that we are about to paint.
00:19:45That one there is a macaque,
00:19:47those two are rhesus,
00:19:49And the bunch up there are langurs.
00:19:53Well, at least I've taught somebody something.
00:19:56Oh, my goodness, there's a spider monkey with a moustache.
00:20:00Where?
00:20:01He's got a white hat on and a linen suit.
00:20:14Now, this bridge separates mankind from the animal kingdom.
00:20:20To cross over there is to take your life in your hands.
00:20:24You see this sign? It says,
00:20:26Danger.
00:20:27To cross this bridge is to enter the black jungle,
00:20:31the jungle of death.
00:20:34Actually, Doctor,
00:20:36all the sign says is,
00:20:38Beware, this bridge is old.
00:20:42It's a very literal translation, Kitty.
00:20:45Come on, ladies, we'll do our painting down there.
00:20:50I dare you to cross it.
00:20:52I would never.
00:20:53Neither would I.
00:20:55Well, I certainly wouldn't.
00:20:57I would.
00:21:01Why am I not surprised?
00:21:20Hello.
00:21:34Hello.
00:21:39Hello.
00:21:50Hello.
00:21:55Hello.
00:22:19Hello.
00:22:49He'll kill you.
00:23:19Hello.
00:23:27Catherine.
00:23:29Hello, William.
00:23:30What are you doing here? You're not supposed to cross the bridge.
00:23:32You know it's dangerous.
00:23:33I know, I know.
00:23:34You're a very naughty girl.
00:23:35Not in public, Billy.
00:23:37Public?
00:23:39What public?
00:23:41I seem to remember our last kiss being quite public.
00:23:46Heat of the moment, my good man.
00:23:48Heat of the moment.
00:23:49Now we best get back across the bridge.
00:23:52I should warn you,
00:23:53I'm feeling quite the hunter today.
00:23:56And am I to be your prey?
00:24:05What the?
00:24:07Why, you little savage!
00:24:11And what have we here?
00:24:13An animal.
00:24:14An animal that needs to be taught a lesson in manners, I think.
00:24:18Come on, put them up!
00:24:20Put them up!
00:24:21Be careful, William.
00:24:22Don't worry, Catherine.
00:24:24I'll protect you.
00:24:25Actually, William, I think that's what he's trying to do.
00:24:28Come on, put them up!
00:24:36Crush him!
00:24:37Crush him good, Billy boy!
00:24:39Come on!
00:24:40Come on!
00:24:41Come on!
00:24:42Come on!
00:24:59You're a dead one, you are.
00:25:03You all right, Billy?
00:25:04Get him!
00:25:06Now you'll get yours, sunshine.
00:25:11Well, get him!
00:25:12Get him!
00:25:25Stay exactly where you are!
00:25:27Put the gun away!
00:25:28William, tell him!
00:25:29Keep out of this, Catherine.
00:25:31I'm warning you.
00:25:32Shoot him!
00:25:34Shoot him!
00:25:35Just... just stay back!
00:25:36I said shoot him, Wilkins, that's an order!
00:25:39Leave him, Wilkins, he's harmless!
00:25:41Shoot him, come on, man!
00:25:42I'm warning you!
00:25:43Shoot him!
00:26:11Billy...
00:26:42I don't understand, man!
00:26:48I just don't understand!
00:26:50Halt! Halt! Halt!
00:26:53I don't understand it.
00:26:55I don't think it's what you think it is.
00:27:18You heard from the Bairns lately?
00:27:20Not a word.
00:27:21Well, that's a trouble, isn't it?
00:27:36Hot hang! Fire!
00:27:44Ten-eight!
00:27:45Please!
00:27:47Mr. Command!
00:27:51Fire!
00:28:16Bloody elephants.
00:28:22Intruder!
00:28:24Intruder!
00:28:26Well, don't just stand there! After him!
00:28:28Get back!
00:28:29Turn it off!
00:28:32Help!
00:28:36Any time you're under my gun!
00:28:52Fire!
00:29:08What are you doing here?
00:29:11Please leave.
00:29:13If I scream, they'll hear me.
00:29:15Please, you must go.
00:29:22Right, I'll take it, but only if you promise to leave.
00:29:28There, go now.
00:29:32What is it with you and flowers and kissing?
00:29:37Billy!
00:29:38Billy!
00:29:40It's the savage we caught in the jungle.
00:29:42He's here!
00:29:43What?
00:29:44What?
00:29:50Who are you?
00:29:54Do you speak English?
00:29:58Hindi?
00:30:00What's your name?
00:30:02Do you speak anything?
00:30:04Don't touch that.
00:30:08I told you.
00:30:10Here.
00:30:15It's all right.
00:30:19It's all right.
00:30:45Why did you get this?
00:30:50Why did you get this?
00:30:52This used to be mine.
00:30:57You.
00:30:58Mowgli.
00:31:01Mowgli.
00:31:03I'm Kitty.
00:31:06Kitty Bryden.
00:31:09Oh, God, you've got to leave, quick!
00:31:11I'll kill you, go!
00:31:12Get him!
00:31:13Are you all right?
00:31:14Are you sure?
00:31:15I'm fine.
00:31:16Did he touch you?
00:31:17No, no, no, he's harmless.
00:31:18Wilkins!
00:31:19Just listen to me.
00:31:20Go!
00:31:21All right, stay here and lock the door.
00:31:22No, please, you don't understand.
00:31:23William!
00:31:29There he is!
00:31:30On the wall!
00:31:31There he is!
00:31:32On the wall!

00:34:37Thank you, Bulldale.
00:34:39That's Queen's evidence now.
00:34:41Yes, Captain Sahib.
00:34:49Stolen from some rich Maharaji, no doubt.
00:34:51No doubt.
00:34:55Captain Sahib!
00:34:57Sir, he's having very important family.
00:34:59Hello!
00:35:21Ah, my favourite officer.
00:35:23Evening, Jets.
00:35:25Evening, Harley.
00:35:27And what have we got here, then?
00:35:29Caught this one attempting to kill the Colonel's daughter.
00:35:31Well, we can't be having any of that now, can we?
00:35:33And...
00:35:35we found this on him.
00:35:37May have a brother and sister.
00:35:39Well, we can't be separating no family now, can we?
00:35:43No, we most certainly cannot.
00:35:45Right then.
00:35:47Come on, my little brown brother.
00:35:51Time to wake up.
00:35:53I know where you got the dagger.
00:35:55Come on!
00:35:59You little twat!
00:36:01On him! On him!
00:36:03What do you mean?
00:36:05Come to order, if you please!
00:36:09What's going on here?
00:36:11This is the intruder we caught.
00:36:13Well, I'm aware of that.
00:36:15But does detaining a prisoner mean you have to beat him half to death?
00:36:17You kicked me in the sweets.
00:36:19So, no sweets, eh, Harley?
00:36:21Sir!
00:36:23What's his name?
00:36:25Don't know, sir.
00:36:27What is your name?
00:36:35If I may say so, sir,
00:36:37congratulations on your perfect Hindi, sir.
00:36:39Shut up, Wilkins.
00:36:41I'm sorry, sir. It's stupid.
00:36:43He, um...
00:36:45hasn't said a word.
00:36:47Not yet, anyway.
00:36:49I can assure you, sir,
00:36:51I intend to investigate this business
00:36:53personally.
00:36:57All right, Boone, you're a good man.
00:36:59I will entrust him to your care.
00:37:01And you show the boy some charity.
00:37:03Go on.
00:37:05Very good, sir.
00:37:13You heard the man, sergeant.
00:37:15Show the boy some...
00:37:17charity.
00:37:35Stupid gentlemen.
00:37:47Father?
00:38:03Catherine, how are you?
00:38:05Fine. What is that boy doing in the dungeon?
00:38:07Well, self-evident.
00:38:09He's stolen to the palace and broke into your bedroom.
00:38:11He's gentle and harmless.
00:38:13Tell that to Sergeant Harley's sweets.
00:38:15Never mind, never mind.
00:38:17Anyway, it's Captain Boone's concern now.
00:38:19Father, please listen.
00:38:21Speaking of Captain Boone,
00:38:23no news for your old father?
00:38:25Father, please.
00:38:27Hello, Geoffrey.
00:38:29Isn't it all very, very exciting?
00:38:31Exciting what?
00:38:33The boy, Father.
00:38:35He's Mowgli.
00:38:37Mowgli?
00:38:39Mowgli, the boy?
00:38:41Your little friend?
00:38:43Possibly.
00:38:45He was five years old.
00:38:47No child could survive in the jungle,
00:38:49not for ten minutes, much less...
00:38:53That's your mother's bracelet.
00:38:55I gave this to you when you were young.
00:38:57Yes, and I gave it to a small boy named Mowgli.
00:38:59Remember?
00:39:01Could it be him?
00:39:07Well, it's our duty to help him.
00:39:09Fascinating case study, Geoffrey.
00:39:11You know, chart his development,
00:39:13his ability to learn language, to reason.
00:39:15Find out the effects of growing up away from civilization.
00:39:17It's...
00:39:19A unique scientific...
00:39:21Opportunity.
00:39:23Exactly.
00:39:25Rather thought this out, haven't you?
00:39:27Just came to this.
00:39:29Spontaneously.
00:39:31What am I supposed to do, invite him for the weekend?
00:39:33Well, we've been preparing a place for him
00:39:35outside in the garden shed.
00:39:37So he won't feel so confined.
00:39:39Where did you get that dagger?
00:39:41Kiddose, Mila!
00:39:43Kiddose, Mila!
00:39:47Yeah.
00:39:49Harley, my dull friend,
00:39:51your Hindi is worse than your breath.
00:39:53He's really something, this one, isn't he?
00:39:55Well, he's an animal, isn't he?
00:39:57Hello, William, it's John from Sergeant Harley.
00:39:59Miss Catherine. Catherine.
00:40:01What are you doing down here?
00:40:03Dr. Plumford and I believe your new prisoner
00:40:05is the jungle boy the villagers all talk about.
00:40:07The jungle boy is by the animals?
00:40:09Yes. We want to help him re-enter man's world.
00:40:11Teach him to speak.
00:40:13But he's vicious and uncivilized.
00:40:15Then we'll make him civilized.
00:40:21What did you do to him?
00:40:23He did it to himself.
00:40:25We tried to stop him.
00:40:27Oh, he has, miss. He's done it to himself.
00:40:29He's mad, you see.
00:40:31Well, put your fingers in there, miss. You'll bite them off.
00:40:37Ugly.
00:40:45Kitty.
00:41:01Billy,
00:41:03if he can be taught to speak,
00:41:05then he can be made to talk.
00:41:11Come on, Leslie.
00:41:13Come on. Good.
00:41:15Nice, hot English bath for you.
00:41:17You'll enjoy it.
00:41:19Nothing to be scared about.
00:41:21Splendid.
00:41:23All right, then.
00:41:31All right, then.
00:41:35Thank you.
00:41:53Ah, look.

00:43:15What friend?
00:43:17I'm your friend, and, uh...
00:43:19Dr. Plumper's your friend.
00:43:21Tongue depressor. Also friend.
00:43:23Birds are beautiful.
00:43:25Birds are beautiful.
00:43:27Dr. Plumper, please.
00:43:29Kitty, I'm trying to examine him.
00:43:31Kitty is pest. Pest.
00:43:33You see? He understands. You is pest.

00:44:01You are.
00:44:03Thank you.
00:44:07Picking it up fast, isn't it?
00:44:13Where are you going?
00:44:21Animals are friends.
00:44:25Isn't that the same bear you fought?
00:44:27Saving my life.
00:44:29Baloo?
00:44:31Yes. Baloo.
00:44:43Right hand goes here.
00:44:45Left hand goes here.
00:44:47Right hand goes here.
00:44:49Right hand goes here.

00:45:07It's all right.

00:46:05Iron. Jump. King.
00:46:07Lamb. Male. Quick. Royal.
00:46:09Victory. Extra. Yellow. Zebra.
00:46:11Very good.
00:46:17Can you speak with the animals?
00:46:19Yes, but they speak not as men speak.
00:46:21With animals, every move, every look,
00:46:23every sound has a meaning.
00:46:25Oh.
00:46:27The jungle speaks to me
00:46:29because I've learned how to listen.
00:46:31If you could have spoken to me
00:46:33the first time in the jungle,
00:46:35what would you have said?
00:46:39Did you, uh...
00:46:41Did you feel anything?
00:46:43No.
00:46:45Fire.
00:46:47Fire.
00:46:51A great fire.
00:46:53Oh.
00:46:57It's late. We better go.
00:46:59Please, stay here
00:47:01with me.
00:47:05I can't.
00:47:07There are conventions, formalities.
00:47:09Things that are just not done.
00:47:11I must do what civilizes me.
00:47:15What must I do?
00:47:29Catherine?
00:47:31Hello, Father.
00:47:33Julie, hello, Father.
00:47:35Me, I've had men combing the whole
00:47:37bloody district looking for you.
00:47:39Where were you?
00:47:41You were with that jungle boy, weren't you?
00:47:43Mowgli, Father. His name is Mowgli.
00:47:45Savage. He's bred in the jungle,
00:47:47raised by animals.
00:47:49It's not right for a girl of your standing,
00:47:51of your background.
00:47:53It's not done, you hear? It's just not done.
00:47:55What's not done? I haven't done anything.
00:47:57People are beginning to talk.
00:47:59Well, people always talk, Father.
00:48:01Just want what's best for you.
00:48:03Well, I think you want what's best for you.
00:48:07Oh.
00:48:19I'm sorry, Father.
00:48:21That's all, Salma.
00:48:23It's my fault, dragging you halfway around the world.
00:48:27I'm thinking,
00:48:29perhaps it's in your best interests
00:48:31if I send you home.
00:48:33To England?
00:48:35But India's my home. I love it here.
00:48:37Look, in England, you'd have dozens of
00:48:39handsome young suitors.
00:48:41It's time you turned your mind to
00:48:43settling down.
00:48:45I've plenty of time. No, no, no.
00:48:47No good reason for you to stay on.
00:48:49Unless...
00:48:51Unless, of course, there's a better offer.
00:48:55Hmm? Yes, Father.
00:49:05Come on.
00:49:29All right, what's this all about?
00:49:31What it is all about,
00:49:33my good Captain Sahib?
00:49:35It's the last city of Hanuman.
00:49:37Yes, yes, I know the legend.
00:49:39It is not a legend.
00:49:41Oh, no, Sahib.
00:49:43Most certainly it is not.
00:49:45Many thousand years ago,
00:49:47in time of Hanuman,
00:49:49deep in the heart of Black Jungle,
00:49:51there was a most
00:49:53magnificent city.
00:49:55All people in Asia traveling there
00:49:57for chance to save their souls.
00:49:59Bought their way into heaven, did they?
00:50:01Ah, yes.
00:50:03And the treasures, they are piling higher and higher.
00:50:07Till one day,
00:50:09Black Jungle is becoming very angry
00:50:11and is swallowing the whole city.
00:50:13And it was lost forever.
00:50:15And all these centuries,
00:50:17it's been waiting for the right men
00:50:19to come and find her.
00:50:21Men like us.
00:50:23Lots of men have gone in search
00:50:25of the last city.
00:50:27But no one is ever returning.
00:50:29To go into the Black Jungle
00:50:31is to invite death.
00:50:33Understand?
00:50:35Unless, of course, one knows the way.
00:50:37The Jungle Boy.
00:50:39Precisely.
00:50:41But getting his cooperation
00:50:43may take some
00:50:45persuasion.
00:50:55What are you looking at?
00:50:57What's that?
00:50:59That's King Louie.
00:51:01King Louie.
00:51:03If you see him,
00:51:05tell him I know who took his hat.
00:51:07I'll do that.
00:51:09Captain William Boone.
00:51:11Mind your manners, Mowgli.
00:51:13Hello, William.
00:51:15Hello, my dear.
00:51:17I thought I'd pay you a surprise visit,
00:51:19seeing as we've been, uh,
00:51:21too busy to see each other of late.
00:51:23I brought you these.
00:51:25I know they're your favorite.
00:51:27Thank you.
00:51:29You're very sweet.
00:51:33So,
00:51:35lessons going well, I hope?
00:51:37Very well.
00:51:39Good, good.
00:51:45Huh.
00:51:47Attentive fellow, isn't he?
00:51:49Yes, very.
00:51:51I've been doing a lot of thinking
00:51:53You have?
00:51:55Yes. And, uh,
00:51:57well...
00:52:01Catherine Ann Brydon.
00:52:03Will you marry me?
00:52:05William, I'm flattered.
00:52:07Good. Then it's settled.
00:52:09But my father's planning on sending me back to England.
00:52:11Shh. I've already spoken to your father,
00:52:13and he feels this is the better offer.
00:52:15I don't know what to say.
00:52:19Then don't say anything.
00:52:23Oh, Catherine.
00:52:25We shall be the most perfect couple in all India.
00:52:27We'll have success,
00:52:29wealth, power...
00:52:31Love?
00:52:33Yes, yes, that too, of course.
00:52:35You know,
00:52:37I feel awful.
00:52:39I've been quite remiss in my duties to you of late, haven't I?
00:52:41I tell you what.
00:52:43Why don't I take your friend...
00:52:45What's his name?
00:52:47Mowgli.
00:52:49Mowgli, yes.
00:52:51You like that, don't you?
00:52:55You know, William, you can be quite sweet
00:52:57when you put your mind to it.
00:52:59Uh, this one
00:53:01is a personal favorite of mine.
00:53:03You, um, you thrust it into your opponent's belly
00:53:05like that, you see,
00:53:07and then you twist it a little,
00:53:09and you rip out his stomach.
00:53:13Then do you eat him?
00:53:15No, of course not.
00:53:17Does he want to eat you?
00:53:19Why, no.
00:53:21Then why kill him?
00:53:25Because he's your enemy.
00:53:27What is enemy?
00:53:31Someone you hate.
00:53:33What is hate?
00:53:41Fifteenth century.
00:53:43Smart little buggers back then, weren't they?
00:53:49And this one?
00:53:51This one belongs to you, doesn't it?
00:53:53Hmm.
00:53:55Where did you get it?
00:53:57From Monkey City.
00:53:59Monkey City?
00:54:01Was there more treasure there?
00:54:05More like this?
00:54:07In Monkey City,
00:54:09there's mountains of treasure.
00:54:13Mountains, you say?
00:54:19Yes.
00:54:21Shhh.
00:54:47I want you to take me to this, um...
00:54:52Monkey City of yours.
00:54:55No.
00:54:57No?
00:54:59For heaven's sake, why not?
00:55:01Only those who keep the jungle law, amigo.
00:55:03My dear boy, I'm a British officer.
00:55:05My job is to keep the law.
00:55:07You keep not the jungle law.
00:55:09Look here, um...
00:55:13I don't know about any jungle law,
00:55:15but I do keep man's law.
00:55:17And man's law rules around here.
00:55:21Man has many laws,
00:55:23most about killing.
00:55:25You kill for sport
00:55:27and anger
00:55:29and treasure.
00:55:31The jungle law say
00:55:33we may only kill to eat
00:55:37or to keep from being eaten.
00:55:39You know,
00:55:41you almost sound like a man
00:55:43instead of an animal.
00:55:45Instead of an animal
00:55:47that's been trained to sound like one.
00:55:49The more I learn
00:55:51what is a man,
00:55:55the more I want to be an animal.
00:55:59I hunt animals, you know.
00:56:03Maybe someday
00:56:05you hunt me.
00:56:07Thank you for inviting me, Dr. Bumford.
00:56:09Oh, think nothing of it, my boy.
00:56:11Now, look at that.
00:56:13The color and majesty of India.
00:56:15The exquisite manners
00:56:17and food of England.
00:56:19All the bare necessities of life.
00:56:21Oh, incidentally,
00:56:23I was joking about the food.
00:56:27Adrian!
00:56:29So, I'm currently waiting about you.
00:56:31My, my, my.
00:56:33But don't we look dandy tonight?
00:56:35What does he think he looks like?
00:56:37I'm not entirely sure, Billy.
00:56:39But perhaps he could teach us
00:56:41how the apes dance, hmm?
00:56:43That would be fascinating.
00:56:47I know we were supposed to name these monkeys,
00:56:49but I couldn't remember the names of their kin.
00:56:51Oh, I'm sorry.
00:56:53I'm sorry.
00:56:55I'm sorry.
00:56:57I'm sorry.
00:56:59I know we were supposed to name these monkeys,
00:57:01but I couldn't remember the names of their kin.
00:57:29Fascinating. Come, Catherine. Your father has a little announcement he'd like to make.
00:57:52Ladies and gentlemen, if I could have your attention please, I have an announcement to make.
00:58:00This evening, to my great surprise and delight, one of the finest young men that I've ever had the privilege to know
00:58:08has sought my consent to marry my daughter Catherine, she having accepted his proposal.
00:58:15Nowadays, of course, parents are the last to know these things.
00:58:18Still, never having been one to stand in the way of progress or true love, I am glad to give that consent.
00:58:27And so it is with the greatest pleasure that I announce the engagement of Catherine Ann Brydon to Captain William Boone.
00:58:35A toast to Catherine and William.
00:58:48What does this mean, Doctor?
00:58:59It means, Mowgli, that they are to wed.
00:59:04It means she belongs to him.
00:59:19Excuse me, Doctor.
00:59:31Sorry, old bean.
00:59:34Pardon me, old chap.
00:59:48Let him go.
01:00:15Catherine!
01:00:19Mowgli!
01:00:24Mowgli! Mowgli, where are you going?
01:00:29To my home.
01:00:31You can't go back. You're not an animal, you're a man.
01:00:34I am not a man!
01:00:40And I am not an animal.
01:00:44Please don't leave.
01:00:48Why should I stay?
01:00:56I run with the wolf pack.
01:01:00You must run with the man pack.
01:01:05It is the proper thing.
01:01:20I will shame your house no more.
01:01:24You know, I think you owe me an apology.
01:01:51There's been a mistake, Queen.
01:01:52A mistake?
01:01:55I can't marry you. I won't marry you.
01:01:59No, Catherine. I think it is you who is mistaken.
01:02:03I realize this adolescent infatuation you have with this savage has addled your brain.
01:02:08But I cannot allow you to make a fool of me, and I will not lose you to some puerile jungle boy.
01:02:23I'm sure you won't reconsider. I mean, after all, Captain Boone is a very...
01:02:27No, father.
01:02:29Ah well. I'm sure you'll be very happy in England.
01:02:32Yes, I'm sure I will be.
01:02:35I shall miss you dreadfully.
01:02:52We're ready.
01:03:22Now then, where do you suppose my little brown brother's got to?
01:03:36Oh, nothing personal.
01:03:44Keep your eyes open, laddies.
01:03:47Look for the man that spots him.
01:03:52Ah!
01:04:10Ah, me sweet soul!
01:04:22Grrrr!
01:04:25Grrrr!
01:04:27Grrrr!
01:04:31Grrr!
01:04:33Grrrr!
01:04:43Ah!
01:04:45Hello?
01:04:49Hello?
01:05:20Dr. Ruffner! Dr. Ruffner!
01:05:48Where's the doctor?
01:05:50He just left. To bring Miss Catherine to the ship to England.
01:05:53Where?
01:05:54They're on the road to Jaipur.
01:06:11Bloody hell! Bandits!
01:06:17Oh my God!
01:06:24Regroup! Return fire!
01:06:38Mother!
01:06:39Jeffrey!
01:06:40Doctor!
01:06:48Farewell!
01:06:53You!
01:07:13Rosalie!
01:07:17Jeffrey!
01:07:32Why did they do this?
01:07:34They want me to come for her.
01:07:37They know I'll come for her.
01:07:40You saved my life, Mowgli.
01:07:43Yes, Doctor.
01:07:48Now I need you to save the life of another.
01:08:11Get off me!
01:08:12Get off me!
01:08:15Remember me, Colonel Sahib?
01:08:17Let me go!
01:08:18Ah, yes, I remember you.
01:08:19Buldeo, you bloody cod.
01:08:21Let me go!
01:08:24Hello, darling.
01:08:25Sergeant Harlan.
01:08:26Aye.
01:08:28Look who's here, lad.
01:08:30Hello, Catherine.
01:08:32Looks like the last dance belongs to me.
01:08:36Oh, thank God!
01:08:38What is he doing here?
01:08:40That wasn't part of the plan, was it, Buldeo?
01:08:42It was a mistake, Captain Boo.
01:08:46I have to understand you're with this scum.
01:08:48Much to my surprise, sir.
01:08:51I have many friends in low places.
01:08:55Sergeant Harley?
01:08:56I've had 25 years of the likes of you
01:08:59without making a penny from it,
01:09:01so don't use Sergeant Harley me, you silly wee man.
01:09:06God, I've never had a touch into boarding school.
01:09:08God, I've never had a touch into boarding nation.
01:09:11Lieutenant Wilkes!
01:09:13It's Wilkins, sir.
01:09:16Look, I know this looks bad, sir, but...
01:09:17Oh, shut up, Wilkins.
01:09:22You're all soldiers in the British Army.
01:09:26You're under my command,
01:09:28and I order you to return to the fort immediately.
01:09:31To be hung, drawn, and quartered?
01:09:33No, no, I'm afraid that won't do at all.
01:09:35This is treason!
01:09:36No!
01:09:38Now we're in it.
01:09:40How could you do this?
01:09:42You don't know what's at the end of the rainbow, my sweet.
01:09:46Why have you brought us here?
01:09:47I will answer that.
01:09:49Ah, right on time.
01:09:53Come down here, or else unpleasantries may occur.
01:10:02This is good.
01:10:04Take us to the treasure, and she'll in.
01:10:12I will take you there, and we will see who lives.
01:10:34I will take you there, and we will see who lives.
01:11:05Come.
01:11:23Why do you suppose he stares at us like that?
01:11:26Because to him, you are food.
01:11:30Come, come.
01:12:00My God.
01:12:01Listen to that.
01:12:02Oh, the noise is bothering you, sonny.
01:12:09Can't you get him to shut up?
01:12:11A man talking to animals.
01:12:14Is this done?
01:12:18If we don't get my father to a doctor, he'll die.
01:12:21He's a British officer.
01:12:23We can make do.
01:12:25So, my jungle friend.
01:12:30Where do we go from here?
01:12:32Follow the mountain?
01:12:34And then, and then, if you are still alive, I will tell you more.
01:12:41Shut up.
01:12:44Shut up.
01:12:47Shut up.
01:12:48Aye, shut up.
01:12:50Calm yourself, Williams.
01:13:00No.
01:13:24What's that?
01:13:25How the hell should I know?
01:13:27I haven't had anything like that in my life.
01:13:29It is Shere Khan.
01:13:31He's returning.
01:13:32Good.
01:13:34Like to bag me a tiger?
01:13:36Do not be wishing for this, Tiger Sahib.
01:13:39He's the devil.
01:13:43Shere Khan hunts us.
01:13:45I must protect you from him.
01:13:48I must escape.
01:13:50We're going with you.
01:13:51No.
01:13:52It's safer with these men.
01:13:54And their guns.
01:13:57Be careful.
01:14:00I will come back for you.
01:14:04I know.
01:14:19Stop.
01:14:30Stop.
01:14:46He's escaped.
01:14:48Wake up, he's escaped.
01:14:53Stop.
01:14:54Stop.
01:14:55Fuck.
01:14:58No.
01:14:59No, no.
01:15:01Bob, help me.
01:15:03Bob, look out.
01:15:05Nobody help me.
01:15:06Raleigh.
01:15:07What are you doing in there?
01:15:08It's quicksand, Wilkins.
01:15:10It's sucking me down.
01:15:12Come here, give me your hand.
01:15:13It's got my legs.
01:15:14It's sucking me under.
01:15:15Give me your hand.
01:15:16Stretch.
01:15:18Give me your hand.
01:15:19Stretch.
01:15:20Give me your hand.
01:15:21Give me your hand, Wilkins.
01:15:23Come on, breathe.
01:15:25Come on.
01:15:26Come on.
01:15:27Come on.
01:15:32Honey, you're putting me in, honey.
01:15:33Don't.
01:15:34Don't.
01:15:35Honey, you're putting me in, honey.
01:15:36Don't.
01:15:37Don't.
01:15:38Don't.
01:15:45Hold on.
01:15:55Raleigh.
01:16:01Raleigh.
01:16:03Well,
01:16:05let's not be discouraged by every little thing.
01:16:10Let's go.
01:16:11Come on.
01:16:12But my father.
01:16:14You can't leave my father, he'll die.
01:16:17Such is life.
01:16:25Raleigh.
01:16:55Come on.
01:16:57Come.
01:16:58We must go.
01:16:59Quickly.
01:17:06My friend will take you back to the village.
01:17:09Friend?
01:17:19An elephant.
01:17:21There had to be an elephant.
01:17:26Bring her back for me.
01:17:30Please.
01:17:33Mowgli.
01:17:37I think a man
01:17:39lucky
01:17:41can count you as a friend.
01:17:47Ted, Ted, Ted, Ted!
01:17:56Ted, Ted, Ted, Ted.
01:17:59Bloody elephants.
01:18:00The pain of my existence.
01:18:02This would be a damn fine country
01:18:04if it wasn't for all the bloody elephants.
01:18:08This is just great.
01:18:10Great.
01:18:19Just be careful with that thing, will you?
01:18:22Bloody oaf.
01:18:23Bloody oaf.
01:18:24Join the army, they said.
01:18:26See the world, they said.
01:18:28This is seemingly the most ridiculous thing
01:18:30I've ever done in my life.
01:18:33Once I get back to the city.
01:18:36Bloody mosquitoes.
01:18:38Bloody jungle.
01:18:40Bloody jungle!
01:18:53My father lives.
01:19:23My father lives.
01:19:53Oh, no.
01:20:24Come on.
01:20:26Just a second.
01:20:47What a shame.
01:20:50Well,
01:20:51well,
01:20:52shall we continue?
01:21:00Kill him.
01:21:06Mowgli!
01:21:07No!
01:21:22No!
01:21:31Come on.
01:21:41My God.
01:21:52What is that?
01:21:54Sounds like monkeys.
01:21:56Monkeys?
01:21:59Shaitan!
01:22:05My God, what are they doing?
01:22:06They're after Shaitan!
01:22:21Shaitan!
01:22:52Run!
01:22:54Run!
01:23:04Wiccans!
01:23:06You bloody shot me!
01:23:08Whoops.
01:23:09Wiccans!
01:23:10I am going to kill you!
01:23:14Stupid.
01:23:15Oh, my God.
01:23:16I've been shot.
01:23:18Stupid.
01:23:19Take cover.
01:23:22Keep moving.
01:23:47No!
01:23:52No!
01:24:05Wiccans!
01:24:08Wiccans!
01:24:09Shaitan!
01:24:20You could die too, you know.
01:24:23He won't let me die.
01:24:33You're hurting me.
01:24:35Behave yourself and I won't.
01:24:40It's...
01:24:43mine.
01:24:47Follow him.
01:24:48Follow King Louie to your treasure.
01:24:52Damn.
01:25:10See, Catherine?
01:25:13It's not all that disgusting.
01:25:16It's not the place, William.
01:25:18It's the company.
01:25:39It's beautiful.
01:25:55Brilliant.
01:26:10Come on.
01:26:31Oakley!
01:26:32Come on.
01:26:39Come on.

01:29:09Odell?
01:29:21No!
01:29:39No!
01:30:09No!
01:30:40No!
01:30:46So, you've returned to seal your fate, have you?
01:30:59Friend of yours?
01:31:09No!
01:31:34Odell!
01:31:39Odell!
01:32:09What do you think you have that I don't, huh?
01:32:17Strength of a bear.
01:32:20Speed of a leopard.
01:32:24Heart of a wolf.
01:32:31And very sharp teeth.
01:32:40No!
01:32:58Kitty, come. We must go quickly.
01:32:59Mowgli, we have to take some of it with us.
01:33:01This treasure only brings death.
01:33:07Just one thing.
01:33:08Just one thing.
01:33:09Please, Catherine!
01:33:11Look what we can have together.
01:33:17Catherine, come back!
01:33:21All right, go then.
01:33:23Go!
01:33:24Go with your jungle boy.
01:33:27I got what I came for.
01:33:29I don't need you.
01:33:38No!
01:34:08No!
01:34:39No!
01:34:41No!
01:35:09No!

01:35:47No!
01:35:52No!
01:35:57What is happening?
01:36:04Shir Khan sees me, not as a man.
01:36:07but as a creature of the jungle.
01:36:37Hello.
01:36:38Good girl.
01:36:39Hello.
01:36:40He was a very good patient.
01:37:09Yes, you are.
01:37:39So that is how it came to pass, that Mowgli, keeper of the jungle law, protector of creatures
01:37:51great and small, became lord of the jungle.
01:37:56So listen well, and hear the call, and long life to those that keep the jungle law.
