treated him with kindness and respect.

He considered all men

to be his enemies.

Since other tribes would hunt

his troop as a rite of passage.

Chief Muviro knew what he was.

You must get to him.

Since no man ever

started with less.

John?

(Bird chirping.)

(Bird chirping.)

Blue bottom Rufous Towhee.

Mating call.

Be still my beating heart.

Mandrill.

Also a mating call.

Cheetah.

Mating call.

Seven. Six.

Five. Four.

Three.

Two.

I know you took my handkerchief.

We're from America.

My father's a professor.

So I didn't grow up

believing in spirits.

Hello.

You're welcome to have it.

Will you speak to me?

Um.

You must know that this is

uh, very peculiar.

I'm not sure my father would

find this very appropriate.

But um.

We must make an effort

to embrace customs of...

Oh!

I don't think so, wild man!

No, no, no.

Wait!

I speak many languages.

Kneel!

A Kuba chief, never kneels.

- Down, all of you!

- Get down!

Hold him still!

Tighter!

Tighter!

He ain't so tough.

Be good, you little monkey boy.

Some legend, Mr. Rom.

Chief Mbonga will be disappointed.

Wind up 10 of the strongest.

- We'll need porters.

- Yes, sir.

These go right to you, sir?

You're coming, men.

You're coming with me!

John!

Get off me!

Eddie, alright push.

John!

- Stop it, woman.

- Get off me. John!

Must have been something

the first moment you saw her.

After all the Negroes and baboons.

John!

Quickly!

Don't look at me.

Never look at me.

- Move, woman!

- Get your hands off me!

Mr. Rom, we'll bring him back.

Go!

Go.

Get the Maxim ready!

Hurry!

Focus fire on the boilers,

below the chimney.

Pull away!

Where do you think you are going?

Stay back!

I need you to scream for me.

Like a damsel?

No matter.

He's Tarzan,

you're Jane.

He'll come for you.

John!

John!

John!

John!

They came for me, Kwete.

This was not done by you.

Do you know they were.

We've heard of Whites that

come and fight for money.

Do not wear Belgium colors

Called Force Publique.

The man I interviewed in

Belgium told me about them.

Did anyone mention

a man named Rom?

Nobody gave up any names.

But, Leon Rom.

He's king Leopold's envoy to Congo.

Any other revelations?

Not from me.

Why did you say

they came to get you?

The boat is traveling upstream.

It will slow it down.

We should get to

Boma's mountains before them,

if we take this route

through the Mangani lands.

How do you know

where they are going?

This route is longer

But it is where they are

building the railroad.

We can ride it

part of the way.

Good.

John.

John.

John.

Fine!

I'm still coming with you.

You can't keep up.

I might not be able to

keep up with Tarzan
