Kong: King of the Apes

Trust me, I'm your friend.

Bawk! Run for your lives!

Finger five on it!

Get ready, Brag.

Only about 15 minutes to San Francisco.

And our ten million.

Thanks to that little black market baby.

I still can't believe we found a collector

willing to pay that much for a stinkin' ape.

Come on, Wheeler, we might have bagged the last wild ape on Earth!

Hey! How the heck did he get out?

Who cares? Just get him back in the cage!

Stand still, you miserable little...

Gotcha!

Get off me, Brag, or we'll crash!

Uh-oh!

Hold on!

Don't move, Wheeler.

Don't even breathe.

- Oh, no! - We gotta get outta here!

Yeah, 'cause our ten mil is getting away!

Ahhh!

No way we're letting all that money escape!

Dad, did you hear that crash?

Must have been the chopper that just flew over.

I just spoke to 911.

They're dispatching rescue workers, but it will take time to get up here.

We need to try and locate that crash and see if there are any survivors.

I'm sure the sound came from this direction.

You know these woods better than anyone, so, lead the way, Lukas.

Gah! Missed!

I'll nail the little...

That sounded like a gunshot.

I bet the pilot fired a rescue flare.

Or maybe poachers are hunting the Redwoods again!

Either way, let's keep a sharp eye and stick close.

Don't worry, Dad, I know what I'm doing.

Ugh! Oh, gross!

- I just stepped in... - Deer dung!

Oh, this is great!

Thanks a lot, Lukas.

No, I meant, I haven't seen any for so long,

I was afraid there might not be any deer left!

Between habitat destruction and poachers,

in another ten or so years,

I fear there won't be any wild animals left.

Too bad bugs aren't extinct.

I hate them so much,

I'm going to invent a gigantic bionic insect-eating spider.

Hello! Spiders already eat insects, Richard.

Nature takes care of itself.

We don't need Richard's useless bionics.

I can't believe you just dissed our dad!

- I didn't. - Yeah, he did!

Dad's the most important bionics scientist in the whole world.

You know I didn't mean it like that!

I understand how you feel, Lukas.

I love nature, too.

That's why I got into bionics, to help people and injured animals.

Lukas!

Ahhh!

We got him now!

No way out.

Out of tranq darts!

Psst.

Come with me.

Hurry, this way. I want to help you.

Trust me.

I'm your friend.

- Hey! What the... - Where'd that rotten ape go now?

- Come on! - There!

Cops!

We gotta get outta here!

Okay, but I swear, one day, I'll find that filthy brat

that just cost us $10 million!

Your brother was right.

The police said the helicopter they found was definitely used by poachers.

You think they got Lukas?

- Maybe they'll hold him for... - He's fine.

Lukas sent a holo-text saying he has a surprise for us.

I just had to wait for the police to leave.

Why? What are you hiding?

Shh! Be quiet, you'll scare the baby.

Baby?

The poachers were shooting at him, so I had to help.

This is my dad, Dr. Leo Remy.

And my brother, Richard.

It's okay.

I swear, I'm never gonna let anyone hurt you again.

Lukas, you shouldn't lie!

Even to a dumb monkey.

Not a monkey, Richard.

I'm certain that this is a baby gorilla,

which were believed to be extinct in the wild!

Okay, fine. A dumb ape.

But Lukas still lied.

You can't protect it.

We have to turn it over to the police or a zoo or someplace...

No! Dad, we have to keep him!

If we don't, he could end up spending his entire life locked in a cage!

Or worse, in some lab!

Now, I appreciate what you're saying, son, but while he's cute and little now,

once he becomes a full-grown gorilla...

"Apes in the wild could grow up to 5'11" and weigh over 500 pounds?

Forget that!

Anyway, if Mom were here, she'd never let you keep it.

Yeah, well, Mom moved back east with her new husband, so why don't you just...

- Now, that's not the point. - Right! Dad...

You've always told us that it's every human's responsibility

to do everything they can to protect wildlife.

So, this is our chance to do the right thing!

Please, Dad...

Very well.

We can see how he does back home in the city.

But, it's just a test.

No promises.

And you boys will be responsible for taking care of your...

your pet.

Nuh-uh! Not me.

I didn't ask to live with a smelly ape.

I'll do it! I'll take care of everything he needs.

I swear, Dad!

All right, we'll give it a try.

Now let's start packing up.

Hey, hey, you need a name.

Kong! Kong! Kong!

That's it, then.

You are Kong!

Hey, Dad, are you going to the lab today?

I wanna show Kong your island.

Now, let's just see how baby Kong adapts first.

- Oh, he'll be great! No prob. - Oh, come on.

Fit right in.

Until Anita sees his ugly face and freaks out.

You are late, Dr. Remy!

But I made your favorite cookies, anyway.

Bawk! Favorite cookies!

Thank you, Anita, but I need to warn you that...

we have a little surprise.

Let's get 'em, Kong!

It's all right, Anita, it's not a monster.

It's, uh, just a baby gorilla.

Oh, yeah, Anita's gonna quit for sure if the ape isn't history.

Wow, Anita!

Baby Kong totally loves your cookies.

Well...

At least el pequeño has good taste.

Oh, what a good niño!

You can have the last cookie!

Bawk! No fair! Bawk! No fair!

Aw, man, I can't believe this.

Well, I'm very happy to see.

Chatter's new bionic wing is working so well.

First bionic bird! Bawk!

First bionic bird! Bawk!

I am very glad you were able to save his life,

but did you have to save his voice as well, Dr. Remy?

- He's such an annoying chatter box! - Bawk!

One hurdle down.

Kong seems to have won Anita over.

Now let's see how the little fellow does inside our houseboat.

Hey, Kong, want to come toss the ball with us?

Do you know how to throw a ball?

Like this.

Throw it back!

No! That's my ball!

Throw it! Don't eat it!

Like this.

Like this.

Whoa! That's some arm!

Happy you're on my team.

Catch me if you can!

Hey! I'm trying to study here!

Come on, Kong! Over here!

Uh-oh!

What happened? I...

Kong grew... again!

Stop that! Awk! Big ape! Bawk!

Kong is already as large and heavy as any gorilla in recorded history.

And he's still technically just a baby.

And way stronger, too.

Dad, you should see his fastball.

Kong could pitch the World Series!

Check out what he did to my mitt!

Everyone, outside! Now!

- We need to get onto the dock! - Is it an earthquake?

No, it's your overgrown ape!

Bawk! Run for your lives!

What is that thing? It's huge!

I can't believe Kong wrecked our house.

He grew right through it!

Everything's gone!

I'm just grateful no one was hurt.

Don't worry, everything will be okay.

Wanna bet?

Uh-oh! Big ape! Bawk! Big trouble!

Don't shoot!

I'm Dr. Leo Remy.

I assure you, this animal is harmless.

Hold your fire, but keep your weapons trained on that...
