Everyone comes to peace rock, so many smells to catch up on.

I can’t help but notice there’s this strange odor today.

What is it?

This scent that I’m on.

I almost.

almost think it was some kind of man cub.

Mowgli belongs to my pack, Shere Khan.

Mowgli?

they’ve given it a name.

When was it we came to adopt man into the jungle?

He’s just a cub.

Does my face not remind you of what a grown man can do?

Shift your hunting ground for a few years and everyone forgets how the law works.

Well, let me remind you.

A man cub becomes man.

And man is forbidden

What do you know about law?

Raksha.

Hunting for pleasure, killing for power.

You’ve never known law.

The cub is mine.

Mine to me.

So go back to where you came from, you burned beast

The tiger knows who rules this part of the jungle.

I’m sure he doesn’t mean to come here and make threats.

Especially during a water truce.

Know I’m deeply respectful of these laws that keep us safe.

So here’s my promise.

Nothing lasts forever.

The rains will return and the river will rise.

And when this rock disappears.

That truce will end.

You want to protect him?

Fine.

But ask yourselves: How many lives is a man cub worth?

How many lives?

Who could answer that question?

Keep it dry, keep it dry, keep it dry.

These quills get stuck on everything

When the rains returned.

there was a question the council had to face.

They deliberated and they argued.

For many days.

What do you think they’re talking about?

No one had ever come between the pack before.

But Shere Khan’s threat was not to be ignored.

Mowgli, you’re not supposed to go up there

Please

I am leaving.

I don’t wanna see anyone get hurt.

Mowgli, go back to the den

A man cub belongs with man.

We raised him as one of our own.

He’ll have the boy either way.

Akela.

Maybe I can be of help.

The boy’s right.

Maybe it’s time he found another people.

No.

I am the one who brought him to you.

And now I’ll return him to where he belongs.

I won’t let you.

He’s my cub

We knew this day would come.

We are the only family he’s ever known.

Raksha, it’s the only place he’ll be safe.

It’s okay, ammi.

I won’t go far.

I’ll come back and visit.

Never forget this.

You’re mine.

Mine to me.

No matter where you go or what they may call you.

You will always be my son.

The turtles like me.

Maybe the crocodiles.

What about the rhinos?

They always let me hang around.

Of course, the rhinos sleep standing up.

I don’t think I’d be very good at that.

It’s either the turtles or the crocodiles.

Which one do you think is better?

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.

Elephants.

Bow your head.

Why?

Show them respect.

The elephants created this jungle.

Where they’ve 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 tree.

But they didn’t 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 by a tiger.

Only man can protect you now.

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 that 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
