Mr. Rom.
Opa.
We found it.
Captain Moulle.
Form your lines.
Maxim ready, sir!
Steady.
Wait.
Fire!
Stand your ground!
Chief Mbonga, I presumed.
How do you know my name?
You're the man I came to see.
These are what you came for.
What would you do for them?
Whatever is necessary.
There is one thing I desire above all else.
Bring it to me.
Bring him to me.
And you shall have your diamonds.
All I need is a name.
THE LEGEND OF TARZAN
His Serene Highness, King Leopold of Belgium.
has extended an invitation to Lord Greystoke,
to take a loyal tour of the Congo free state.
To visit the schools and churches he's built.
To acknowledge his success of his anti-slavery initiatives
and to open trade discussions.
Lord Greystoke, let me explain the Africa situation.
King Leopold controls the Congo.
He's defaulting on his loans and needs a business partner to fill the gap.
Your invitation is a perfect opportunity for her majesty's government to get involve.
Consider the jobs we would create for the poor natives of the Congo.
Ah.
- And I thought the civil war was long. - Dr. Williams, you are a guest here.
Prime Minister, if you are not going to say it,
... allow me. You, are Tarzan.
Lord of the apes, King of the jungle.
Me, Tarzan. You, Jane.
Tarzan. Tarzan...
King Leopold is inviting you because you are a celebrity.
He wants to show you the schools and churches he built.
You woo and aww in front of the newspapers
and he's validated by Africa's favourite son.
England pays his debts. We make money.
- Ham sandwich, easy. - Mm-hm.
So. Your majesties.
Can we get this show on the road?
No.
- No? - God's sake, why not?
Well, I've already seen Africa.
And it's hot.
Excuse me. Did you say hot?
Please send my apologies to the Serene Highness.
And my name isn't Tarzan.
It's John Clayton the third.
Son of John and Alice Clayton.
Fifth Earl of Greystoke.
A member of the House of Lords.
Mr. Clayton.
Lord Clayton.
My apologies. George Washington Williams, Diplomatic Envoy for the United States.
- I was sent by President Harrison. - To do what?
Join up with the Queen's emissary.
You know, America was the first country to recognize King Leopold's claim on Congo.
You don't want to lose your place at the trough.
Look.
I need your invitation to get in.
I'm afraid my intentions aren't exactly
what I expressed to your government on my end.
And what exactly do you want, Dr. Williams?
Leopold has spent the last 7 years getting control of the Congo.
He used up his entire fortune building that railroad of his
and shut off access to 99% of the country.
Why?
Because he wants to be the first monarch in history
that doesn't want people to see his good deeds?
I don't buy it.
Tell me this, Lord Clayton.
How does a bankrupt king keep the whole of the Congo working?
Slavery?
I hope I'm wrong, but I need to know.
And for the sake of your friends back home...
You do too.
Accept Leopold's invitation and take me with you.
You know Africa of the beaten path.
The languages, the people, the customs.
If we find anything amiss, I need
someone to tell the world that they will believe.
I'll make all the arrangements. I'll see you in Liverpool.
My family.
I've done all I can to protect them.
We have been surrounded by predators since the shipwreck.
The jungle consumes everything.
It preys on the old, the sick, the wounded, the weak.
But never the strong.
Today I buried my Alice.
My dear Alice.
Now I fear for my child.
God help us.
God help him.
The most dangerous beast in Africa is so powerful,
it can snap a crocodile's back with a single bite.
Anyone?
Is it a hippopotamus?
Yes, preciously. Well done, Mary.
Now.
Can anyone tell me what my favourite bird sounds like?
Anyone?
How did you live in the jungle?
Look at his hands!
- Whoa. - Whoa.
I grew up running on all fours.
It changes the bone structure.
Do you swing on things inside?
Like when you go upstairs.
Oh, I never take the stairs.
I usually take the curtains.
Is it true, you mom was a monkey?
Of course not. My mother is Alice Clayton.
I can't wait to see Wasimbu again.
- How many children would he have now? - Jane.
We know about Keko. She's what? Four?
- Everyone will have children. - Jane.
I mean, 8 years just feels like a lifetime.
This isn't a holiday.
How many corsets does a diplomat bring?
I can't take you.
- I say zero. - Four.
I suppose a British lady should faint at least twice
to justify the silly title.
- It isn't safe there. - Of course it's not safe there, John.
You take a nap in the wrong place, you got a 50-50 chance of being eaten.
Ladies. Albert.
You can't possibly still think there's a danger, John.
You haven't spoken his name in years.
Talk to me.
Mbonga is not my concern.
You are.
We lost a baby.
The last thing you need is more stress.
Yes. Well.
Thank you for the reminder.
Oh, in case you forgot. We both grew up there.
So perhaps I will fulfill your duties for the Queen
and you can stay here hypothesizing coconuts
and playing ping pong.
- I want to go home. - This is our home.
Trying to keep me here won't work.
COLONIAL OFFICE - JOHN CLAYTON -
John, my son.
You are the heir to Greystoke, our future.
England is your home, not this wretched place.
If I don't survive,
I pray that someone will save you.
Promise me you'll stay with the Kuba the whole time.
Not a chance, Jane.
Kickback of the Colt is very nasty.
As a matter of fact, that's why they went out of style.
Pretty little ladies like you kept knocking themselves in the face with it.
I bet I can hit that log over there, first try.
Jane.
He's known them since they were cubs.
BOMA WELCOMES JOHN CLAYTON III
Force Publique, move aside. Force Publique, move aside!
I want port of entry.
I want port of disembarkation for every passenger.
Yes, sir. These are the last.
- Sir. - Thank you.
[John Clayton] [George Washington Williams]
Excuse me, sir. The ledger.
Yes, thank you.
Mr. Frum.
Champagne. The music.
The entire operation just fell apart.
- Have faith, Mr. Frum. - Faith is for missionaries.
He gave you the slip.
Make sure the rest goes down below.
Our invitation has been snubbed, Mr. Frum.
They jumped ship further up the coast
and they are on their own little tour home.
So from Boma up to here will take me 3 days.
I shall deliver Tarzan and return. A week's delay.
You are not in position to ask for anything, Mr. Rom.
Your king's payment was due 3 months ago.
Yes.
I manipulated my firm to keep this deal alive.
Ah. You agree because you will get stinking rich so don't get droughty
- Now you must but us more time. - I already bought all the time...
Look, it's really very easy.
You say aloud to the arriving fleet and tell them payment must be made
in Boma for security reasons.
Opa better not be a myth.
Bring me the rest and you'll have your mercenaries.
But, if you fail to make good this time,
my firm will go to the barter parliament for compensation.
Your king will lose this land and who do you think he will blame?
Leon Rom.
Tarzan, you look funny!
Muviro! Muviro!
Jane! Thank goodness.
Keko. How are you?
Wasimbu? Oh my god.
Jane Porter, welcome home.
As is custom, no one has entered until you returned.
This is where Jane grew up.
Her father taught English in the village.
Well, I'm not going to drink some foam and a couple of
you know what it is you won't tell me.
That's sweating everybody, huh. Mm-hm.
They are singing the legend of Tarzan.
For many moons he was thought to be an evil spirit.
A ghost in the trees.
They speak of his power over the animals of the jungle.
Because his spirit came from them.
He understood them.
And learned to conquer them.
His ape mother, Kala, loved him as her own.
And his ape brother, Akut, 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.
He was good to him.
Since no man ever started with less.
John?
(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.
You 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. We got a 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!
- 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 hand 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!
- They came for me quickly. - This was not done by you.
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.
Fine! I'm still coming with you.
You can't keep up.
I might not be able to keep up with Tarzan
but I sure as hell can keep up with you.
It is not wise. Falling behind means certain death.
I spent over half my life in the wild.
Besides, nobody here is better than me with a rifle.
That one right there. He'll still be choked out
redder than the cardinal's ass if it wasn't for me.
And that's the truth...
You really think I care about my life?
Get your mitts off me.
- If you would just... - If I just what?
Left you in England in your castle!
They have my wife and their families.
Whoever you are, we're here by royal invitation.
As guest of King Leopold.
Lady Clayton, I orchestrated the invitation.
You were not included.
Now was Dr. Williams.
A tribe of savages is trying to tear your husband apart
and maybe butcher him and eat him.
And I'm going to deliver him to them.
And once I'm dispatch with him,
Dr. Williams will not be left as a witness, that's clear.
Which begs the question.
Where does that leave you?
You'll notice none of the natives are smiling.
That one's your friend?
They all are.
You do know that the right side of your mustache is just
a little lower than the left.
John! John!
Different kind of wilds.
How are we suppose to catch a train going 40 miles an hour?
Gravity.
SHIT!
Ahhhhh!
Climb on my back.
Alright, legs too.
Don't think for a second you're saving my life.
Give me the keys to the chains.
- Are you the commander? - Don't tell him anything.
Those are some mighty big earlobes you got there, son.
You think that was a lucky shot?
I'm just an engineer for the bridge.
And how many men have been enslaved to build your bridge?
800, plus this group of natives.
Please, I'm here to build bridges for Monsieur Rom's army.
I have no part in that.
What army?
The railroads, combine with the navigable rivers,
put 60% of Congo within 3 days of a fort.
Forts are done. But the army has not come.
Where are they?
I don't know.
They were supposed to be here months ago.
But, they said the king has yet to pay for them.
How many are there?
20,000.
And they are not regular soldiers.
They are mercenaries.
Long to enjoy killing for a living.
20,000 men. 50 forts.
That's 400 blood thirsty bastards arm with a Maxim gun
and repeating rifles at each one.
He'll end up enslaving the entire country to get what he wants.
People won't stand a chance.
What is Mr. Rom's part in this?
It's his plan.
He's in charge of all of it.
They expected he would be name Governor-General Rom soon.
No, no, no. Wait!
Wait, please!
Shut it! Clucker.
Now, if you do anything
unladylike in there,
He drowns.
Enjoying your peek show?
Of course I know you can see me, Lady Clayton.
- Are you a religious man, Mr. Rom? - Oh. Oh.
Madagascar spider silk.
My priest purchased it for me in Jerusalem when I was nine.
Sounds like you and your priest were awfully close.
Why?
I want you to know,
I think your husband had no right to bring you along.
- I brought myself, Mr. Rom. - Yes, of course.
But he was supposed to be the only casualty.
Aside from the entire country of people you're enslaving of course.
Would you pass the pepper?
It can also serve as a necklace.
On my last visit to Europe,
I attended a few lectures at the Sorbonne.
The king of France got a soft clap.
Henry Morton Stanley, a bastard orphaned by birth, got a standing ovation.
You know.
People love a good story.
Yeah, few are born blue bloods like your husband.
But everyone can relate to a low born scrapper who
rescued his king from bankruptcy and saved the honor of his nation.
That is a man who will never be forgotten.
My king's army is due in 6 days.
All I have left to do is deliver Tarzan to chief Mbonga.
I doubt you recognize the name.
I'm aware of his obsessive desire to kill your husband
but I have yet to discover the cause:
"What did Tarzan do?"
Killed his only son.
- Oh. - Mm.
And get ready because that is nothing
compare to what he will do to you.
Your husband's wildness disturbs me more than I can easily express.
Whereas your spirit.
My knife, please.
Slowly. Your friend won't float.
Thank you.
Lady Clayton's finished.
A normal man can do the impossible to save the woman he loves.
My husband is no normal man.
You cannot go alone.
They consider a seven a raid.
None of us will survive.
This says it's against the law to pay natives to work.
This is ledger of all the slaves taken so far.
Slave labor. Diamonds everywhere.
Rom is going to make his monarch the richest king in the world.
Dr. Williams, you have your evidence.
I'll take care of Rom.
I have no choice.
I'll lose 2 days going around.
- Go around what? - Mangani.
Those gorillas you used to live with?
They are not gorillas.
Gorillas are gentle. Mangani are not.
I've never left a friend in trouble.
Or a partner in the lurch. I'm not about to start now.
Stop calling me Doctor. My name is George.
We'll keep your proof safe, George.
I know.
Meet us in Boma.
- If we don't make it back. - We will... with your family.
Get the books to my grandfather in London.
- Still not waiting for you. - Tell me something I didn't know.
What I wouldn't give for a horse right now.
Why the people don't ride zebras?
The horses kick to escape.
Zebras continue until you are dead.
Zeebra. Zehbra. Tomayto. Tomahto.
It's nearly impossible to take the wild out if something born to it.
That seem to work with you.
Look. I feel foolish for asking, but...
Can you really talk to animals?
You're an educated man, Dr. Williams. You tell me.
Hey. Hey, pretty lady.
That's a male.
He's warning us to stay clear.
You're trying to tell me those things are deadly?
If you get too close it will knock you to the ground
and disembowel you with those 3 inch talons.
No ostrich is going to kill me.
You can try and ride him.
Ha ha. You like that, wouldn't you.
Oh.
Damn. That is one odious aroma.
- Woo, god. - Keep your voice low.
That them?
You don't want to do that, George.
Kill one and the rest won't stop until they torn you to pieces.
So how do you want to play this?
Their leader will come down and we'll fight.
You're going to fight one of those?
Oh I wish.
I have to fight Akut.
He's my brother once.
And now he will consider me a deserter.
Whatever happens, do not interfere.
- Understand? - Mm-hm.
Christ almighty.
That's Akut?
You sure you don't want me to shoot him?
Promise me.
Get on your knees and bow.
Right now!
Expose your most vulnerable part.
You want me to lick his nuts too?
If you want to live.
- George. - I wasn't gonna.
Oh, you looked like you would.
- Is he coming back? - No.
It's quite decisive.
This bite is infected, you're going to have problems.
And there's this.
Now you know, I was not going to lick his...
- You looked like you are. - Well, I wasn't.
You aren't going anywhere until we get this stitch up.
Are you eating them?
- Taste like bacon. - Eww.
You get us a nice fat snake, I grow up on that.
Snake's a good meat. I ain't eating no damn ant.
Well, suit yourself.
And when you are finished,
chew the flowers until poultice and wipe it on the cut with a rub.
That will hold.
Are you aware that you always seem you're going to do something right before you do it?
Yeah? Well.
That's only since I've been saddled with your company.
How is it?
It's manageable.
Pain.
I get too much experience with it.
The Civil War was dark fighting.
But I was proud to be part of it.
It changed me though.
Afterward, I was a walking talking powder keg.
Joined up to fight Maximilian down in Mexico.
Then, worked as an Indian fighter.
Did both those for the money.
I was young.
That's no excuse.
Mexico was bad.
But what we did to the Indians...
I'm not better than those Belgians.
My old friend.
The Tekes say an elephant's eyes speak the greatest language.
What else can make you feel so much without a word?
Is Mr. Rom ready for some more scintillating conversation?
He was the only reason you weren't serviced.
Serviced?
Is that what your mother would call it?
Shut your mouth!
Stop the boat! Stop the boat!
Turn it around!
Stop shooting! You'll hit the girl!
That woman.
Wait!
They'll follow my tracks! Go get help!
Go!
Promise you won't hurt them?
No! Stop!
Please, stop!
John!
Stop! Stop it!
Please!
- Come on. - Move out!
What was that?
Tarzan.
Although it sounded different than I thought.
Better.
Schmidt-Rubin.
John!
Stop!
John!
Now you feel my pain!
I'm not your enemy.
Rom is buying an army with your jewels.
- They cannot touch us! - You know nothing!
Your lands are full of diamonds! He'll come back for them.
Your chief is under my knife!
You are under my knife!
Finish it.
STOP!
Your son killed the only person who ever cared about me.
It was an animal.
She was my mother.
How was he to know?
My son was just a boy!
Not like you!
Where was your honor?
I had none.
Can we please just stop this?
We won't get all of you, or you us.
But Rom will.
He'll wipe you out.
Every last one of you. Like you never even existed.
You think that's impossible?
You are looking at a man that had seen it happened.
Rom's got the diamonds. There's a thousand men down there.
And 20,000 more on the way. We're screwed.
- Where are you going? - To get some friends.
Landing station! Prepare to land!
It doesn't matter. He's too late.
Run! Run!
Fall back!
Bring her!
Grab the diamonds!
Run!
John! No!
John!
Get to the boat! Go!
We're coming! Hold on!
John?
That's the payment.
Lower the skiff and don't dally.
Did you see him?
Is he down there?
1886 model Maxim machine gun.
This is way better than my Walker Colts.
Mr. Rom!
Mr. Frum, you portly coward! Come and get your diamonds!
Farewell, sweet lord.
Take Tarzan with you.
The future belongs to me.
What was that?
Mating Call.
Tarzan!
John!
John...
We are not going to go into that mess for free.
Raise the anchor.
Ain't this a hell of a day?
Nice outfit there, Jane.
You look like you're about to give me a hug.
I wasn't.
Look like you were.
An open letter to His Serene Majesty, Leopold the 2nd,
King of the Belgians.
Every charge I'm about to bring against your Majesty's personal government of Congo
has been carefully investigated.
We have witnesses, documents, letters and official records
to bring to your attention.
And to verify our claims of your systematic abuse
and enslavement of the Congolese people.
George Washington Williams. July 18, 1890
