MIYAGI: Left, right, left.
Glide. Left, right, left.
Find the rhythm, Daniel- san.
Be like eagle in flight.
(WHIMPERING)
He looks more like a do-do bird
coming in for a landing.
DANIEL: Very funny, Taki.
Never take eyes off river.
Right. Sorry, Mister Miyagi.
TAKI: Are you sure we're on the trail of the shrine, Mister Miyagi?
I haven't seen anything but trees and water all day.
Me either. (CAMERA CLICKS)
DANIEL: Those rumors about the animals acting weird must be superstition.
Shrine works in mysterious ways.
Sometimes, little things show more than big.
MIYAGI: Just have to look harder.
HUNTER: There he is! That way!
(KALA PANTING)
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
Great spirit, call the winged ones from the sky.
(EAGLES SCREAMING)
(ALL GROANING)
MIYAGI: Birds are sign.
Shrine is near. So is danger.
Left. Right. Balance, Daniel- san
(TAKI SCREAMING)
(TAKI AND DANIEL COUGHING)
We lost everything.
Hurry, or lose shrine, too.
(PANTING) (GRUNTS)
You cannot escape us, coward!
(PANTING) No!
(YELLS)
(GRUNTS)
(GASPING)
Hunter!
(GRUNTING)
Huh?
Mud!
(MIYAGI YELLS)
Must learn to adapt to environment, Daniel- san.
Smile. (GASPS)
Come on, old man. Fight us!
Oh! Mister Miyagi's in trouble!
Mister Miyagi!
Go. Miyagi be home for supper.
DANIEL: But, Mister Miyagi Go, Daniel- san!
I don't get it.
Mister Miyagi could've taken them with his eyes closed.
Mister Miyagi always has a reason.
It must be to find the shrine.
The boy! Come on!
DANIEL: I know he went this way.
Careful, Daniel.
The jungle can play tricks on you.
Ahhh!
(GROANS)
This is quicksand! I'm sinking!
Do not fear.
(QUICKSAND BUBBLING)
The pit is for intruders.
You are friend.
I am Kala.
You come to my home and change clothes.
The way you fought the hunters.
You, you run like the deer.
You spring upon your prey like the jaguar.
I never thought of it that way.
Kala, why were the hunters after you?
I was forced to flee my village.
I am an outcast.
Hunters do not want me to return.
TAKI: But why? No talk.
Soon it'll be dark. We must catch fish.
I think he expects us to follow.
(SCREAMING)
Where is the "magic boy"? Is he coming?
Stand back, old woman!
The boy is our rightful leader.
NOHUA: Who is the intruder?
Where is boy?
We had him. Intruder attacked us. He escaped.
You must answer for this crime.
Who ask?
I. Nohua.
Chief of the Jaguar Tribe.
Then I answer. It no crime protect weak from strong.
You have broken tribal law.
(CHUCKLING) I give your fate to the alligators.
Take him away!
The people are talking.
I saw the boy call the birds from the sky.
Could he have the power to rule?
There is no reason to fear him.
He is a coward!
It is the tales that spread among the tribe
that we must fear.
NOHUA: They hope for his return!
We must find him and destroy him.
Where I come from
man innocent until proven guilty. (ALLIGATOR GRUNTS)
Where we come from, if you survive you are innocent.
(BOTH CHUCKLING)
(SNARLING)
This not jury of my peers
(GROANING)
Let us make sure the alligators have had their supper.
(CHUCKLING) They have had their fill. We go!
(CRACKLING)
Mmm, smells delicious.
(THUDDING)
Hunters!
(SNIFFING)
Mmm. Miyagi on time for supper?
How did you find Kala when hunters fail?
Miyagi not find Kala.
Miyagi find Daniel.
What happened to you, Mister Miyagi?
Greeting from tribal chief.
You have met Nohua?
Yes.
Honorable gentleman is what Daniel- san call
real jerk.
Did you find the shrine?
It is found.
(ALL GASPING)
No! It is mine!
Kala, power dangerous. Not yours!
Kala does not need power.
Kala can survive without it.
Eat now, then rest.
Tomorrow, busy day.
We build new raft.
And then we go home to return the shrine to my village.
(YELLS)
(THUDDING)
Mister Miyagi, how did you know Kala had the shrine?
Village people believe boy has magic powers.
Miyagi put two and two together.
(YELLS) (THUDDING)
Kala rightful leader of tribe.
People wait for his return.
Chief no like competition.
Why doesn't he go back to his village and challenge the chief?
Only Kala know that.
Take boy. Relieve Taki on look-out.
(SQUIRREL CHATTERING)
Looks like we've got company.
DANIEL: We can't let him find our camp.
Okay, when he's right below us, we'll jump him.
DANIEL: I hope this works.
(YELLS)
(GROANING)
Kala, the spear!
Little jungle worm!
(GASPS)
Kala! (GROANING)
(GASPS)
DANIEL: Where's Mister Miyagi when I need him?
Uh, can't we talk about this? (YELLS)
Boo! Ahhh!
(BOTH SCREAMING)
What's with them? (CHUCKLING)
Think Miyagi ghost. Where boy?
Oh, that wimp? He ran out on me.
Kala let feet rule heart.
Bravery not come easy to everyone.
Hey, Mister Miyagi, wait up.
Mister Miyagi, you have to teach Kala balance like you taught me.
Why? Why?
Because I was afraid before you taught me. Remember?
MIYAGI: Remember big difference.
Ow! Difference is, you asked Miyagi to teach.
Boy must make own choice.
What choice? Without the shrine those guys will clobber him.
Or even worse. There's always choice, Daniel-san.
MIYAGI: Boy stay or boy go.
No fight.
You mean go with us? And leave his people?
Hai. Hai.
But Mister Miyagi, how is Kala going to have balance
if he doesn't fight for what's his?
If you won't teach Kala, then I will.
Listen, Daniel- san.
To be teacher, not same as student.
If you fail, Kala lose more than balance.
Lose life.
I have to try Mister Miyagi. I know I can do it.
All I need is time!
Hmm Got three days till raft finished.
Great! Now all I got to do is convince Kala.
This is gonna improve your hand-eye coordination.
Doing good. Don't let anything distract you from your goal.
Look, there's Tarzan!
(GROANS)
Hey, sorry. I thought you were ready for that one.
Kala was not Focused.
Are you sure you know what you're doing, Daniel?
Are you kidding? Sure I do.
He's getting there.
DANIEL: Okay, you're on the log. You're focused.
You're the best. You could beat him.
(SCREAMING)
(GROANING)
Whoa!
(COUGHING)
You're not trying hard enough, Kala.
Let's do it again. No.
Kala! Come back!
Ha, ha!
Running away again, little coward?
(GROANS)
Focus, Kala! You're losing it!
(BOTH GROANING)
(PANTING)
Nice going, Kala. You did it.
(CHUCKLING) Kala learn fast.
Tell Nohua Kala come tonight to make the challenge.
Kala! What are you saying?
You have taught me, Daniel. Now I am ready.
I will go and prepare.
Taki, quick.
Where's Mister Miyagi?
He went to find a special tree sap to make the raft water-tight.
He said we will leave tomorrow.
Tomorrow is too late!
Wait, Daniel! What do you mean?
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
You can't go, Kala.
You're not ready yet.
I'm going in your place.
Are you nuts? You will be killed.
I've got to do it!
(GROANS)
I must use the shrine.
I cannot let Daniel risk his life for me.
DANIEL: Now you remember the plan?
As soon as I win, we'll switch places.
Then all you gotta do is rule the people.
I understand. I don't. This is crazy.
ALL: (WHISPERING) Kala Kala has come. Kala Kala

KALA: (GROANING) No!
Let me go!

He sent strangers to fight his battles.
This is how I deal with imposters!
(YELLS)
(GROANING)
Come on! Before they bake you, potato.
After them!
Ahhh!
NOHUA: So this is how you gained power over the beasts.
Now I will use it the way it was meant to be used.
To call up the spirit of our tribe!
Then I will hunt down the three
who have caused me so much trouble. No!
(GROWLING)
(SNARLING)
After Nohua finishes with your friends,
he will return to finish you.
I must help Daniel
(STRAINING)
Show yourself! You, you Breath of the baboon!
I challenge you!
What did you call me, boy?
Yeah! (CRASHING)
Ow!
(PANTING) They are still after us.
What are we gonna do?
