Tarzan Goes to India

''Tarzan Goes to India''

We'll be arriving in a few moments now.

Get ready.

Hit it.

I'm kamara.

Not what I expected.

Your father used to tell me about a little girl

that rode elephants and climbed mountains.

I still do.

I'm very anxious to see him.

He's very sick.

He's not the man you knew.

Don't be too shocked at how he looks.

It's been a long time, my dear friend.

Too long.

We had good times together in Africa.

We'll have them again.

Please.

Let me tell him, father.

Did you see the dam on your flight?

Yes.

It's nearly completed.

In three weeks, they'll open the floodgates.

Miles of jungle will be flooded.

This was once my father's land.

He turned it into an animal sanctuary.

I wanted to give them a home.

Where they could live without fear or being hunted.

Now they will all be drowned.

The largest herd of elephants in all India.

Why don't you just drive them off?

Oh, we've tried, but the herd's being led

by a rogue elephant, and people are afraid.

How many elephants are there?

Over 300.

That's something to be afraid of.

Yes?

Mr. O'Hara's waiting to see us.

He's the engineer who's building the dam.

Talk to him.

I know if anyone can save my animals, it's you.

I'll try.

When that power station goes into operation,

it'll be puttin' out over 40,000 kilowatts.

What's the gradient here, Mr. O'Hara?

Forty two degrees.

The elephants will never get out of here.

I'm afraid not.

All ready to leave, Mr. O'Hara.

Good. This is raju Kumar.

He's gonna be one of our top engineers.

I heard you were coming, Tarzan.

- Welcome to India. - Thank you.

I believe you and the Princess know each other.

Yes, we know each other.

When the floodgates are open to the dam up there,

those pipes will spill the water down into the river.

All that jungle will be under water.

It's a natural reservoir

completely surrounded by mountains.

Except for one gap.

There's a pass through the mountain?

Only one.

How far away is it?

About 50 miles.

My men are already working there.

We're sealing it off with a concrete wall

to keep the water in.

He's blocking the only escape route for the animals.

I'm afraid we'll have to.

The wall has to be finished in three weeks.

Or we're right in the monsoon rains.

Even if it means drowning the animals.

There is no other alternative.

We are talking about life

and you dismiss it as if it's nothing.

A choice between wildlife and progress?

Which would you take?

Bryce.

My chief engineer, he's in charge of building the dam.

I know Bryce. He helped build a dam in Africa.

His hobby was killing elephants throughout.

Bryce, I would like you to meet...

We've met before.

I heard the raja sent for you.

Sorry, I wasn't here to greet you personally.

Still mad over the ivory.

In Africa, I mixed a little sport with profit.

You would've thought the elephants belonged to him.

Killing for profit. Why don't you call it by its right name?

- Everything ready? - All set.

I'll keep in touch, Mr. O'Hara.

- Good luck. - Let's go.

Yes, sir.

Bryce.

Those elephants aren't gonna drown.

I'm gonna drive 'em through the pass.

Let's keep one thing straight right now.

I'm building a wall across that pass.

I'm not holding up my word for you or your elephants.

Stay out of my way.

He means what he said.

So do l.

How many of these villages have you moved?

Nearly all of them.

It's sad having to uproot people from their homes.

Most of those never even heard of the dam.

We tell them the land is gonna be flooded.

They're moving to a new village. It makes no sense to them.

Where do you take these people?

To a transit camp first, then on to new homes.

You've been running all this?

Yes.

Pretty good for a maharaja's daughter.

Times have changed..

Rajkumari ji, rajkumari ji, rajkumari ji.

There's trouble at the dam.

They've spotted a rogue elephant.

Keep firing!

Get over here.

Hold your fire, hold your fire.

Alright, you saw it.

Don't waste my time with anymore talk about saving animals.

- I'm going after that elephant. - No.

You leave with me in the morning.

But I might be too late, he may lead me to the main herd.

This jungle, you don't know what you're going into.

If I need you, I'll find you.

You're right, it is a problem.

Now that you've caught me, what are you gonna do with me?

I'm too big to carry.

Doubt if I'd be very good to eat.

Gajendra, gajendra.

Gajendra, gajendra.

Gajendra, gajendra.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

I came here to be your friend.

You've got him well trained.

Why, why you wear such clothes like me?

Because I live in the jungle, just like you.

You, you British doctor?

No.

British hunter?

No.

You, you say, you live in jungle.

I never see you before.

Well, the jungle I live in is far away from here.

In Africa.

- My name is Tarzan. - My name is jai.

You have an elephant?

I have many friends who are elephants

but I don't own any of them.

Gajendra is my elephant. It means king of elephants.

He's a fine elephant. Never seen a better one.

Did you hear that, gajendra?

He says you are a fine elephant.

Gajendra says he like you too.

You have house, place to stay?

- No. - You come home with me.

Alright, come up.

- I like you. - That's because I like you.

Be quiet.

You're the youngest.

You will eat when your elders are finished.

Her name is Terry. She's a very nice goat.

Give the milk all the time.

Best milk I ever tasted.

How long have you been living in the jungles, jai?

When they tell our villagers to go because of the water.

- You didn't go. - No, I would not go.

Your mother and father, they must be lonesome without you.

No mother, no father. I run away.

Where did you get gajendra?

When my father die of sickness, gajendra is mine.

What are you gonna do when the water comes?

Water will not come. Gajendra and I will stop it.

You mean, like you tried to stop them at the dam last night.

Jai, you've got to understand that there are other people

who love the elephant.

You want to stop them too?

Yes, of course I do. Not the same way that you do.

They are too strong for you.

No one is stronger than gajendra.

Guns are stronger than gajendra. And guns will kill gajendra.

No talk anymore, jai go to sleep.

- You sleep here too. - Thank you.

Easy, gajendra.

It's alright, gajendra. I'm not gonna hurt him.

Get back, get back. Bala will kill you, get back. Get back.

Tarzan, Tarzan, help me, Tarzan, Tarzan, help me.

Get back, get back! Bala will kill you!

Get back, get back. Tarzan, Tarzan.

Get down, get down.

Don't be ashamed of being frightened.

- I was frightened too. - You?

Sure, killer elephant leading a herd that size

enough to frighten anyone.

You seen bala? = oh, I saw him.

Bala is very strong, very big.

Bala is a rogue elephant. He's mad.
