The Consequences of Hate and Redemption
Simba
Scar couldn't let go of his hate, and in the end, it destroyed him.
Kovu
I've never heard the story of Scar that way. He truly was a killer.
[genuinely shocked]
Simba
Fire is a killer. Sometimes, what's left behind can grow better than the generation before. If given the chance.
[glances at the burnt plains around them; unearths a small plant from the dust; Zira cackles from offscreen and Kovu and Simba look around and gasp. The Outsiders emerge from the shadows and stalk toward Kovu and Simba and growl. Simba looks to the side to see more Outsiders emerging.]
Kovu
No. Oh, no. No!
[Kovu and Simba look back and forth frantically.]
Zira
Why, Simba.
[emerges, flanked by Nuka and Vitani.]
Simba
Zira.
[angrily]
Zira
What are you doing out here, and so alone? Well done, Kovu. Just like we always planned.
[evilly smirks; Simba squares off against the Outsiders and growl; she, Nuka and Vitani chuckle]
Simba
You!
[to Kovu; angry at being betrayed]
Kovu
No! I didn't have anything to do with this!
[Simba snarls; looks around at the Outsiders desperately.; looks imploringly at Simba.]
Zira
Attack!
Kovu
NO!
[The Outsiders attack Simba while both he and the Outsiders snarl]
Simba
Ah!
[fights back as more Outsiders gang up on him.]
Zira
Yes! We've got him!
[surveys Simba from the top of the gorge.; The Outsiders slide down the side of the gorge toward Simba.; Outsiders snarl]
Vitani
Rah!
[pounces at Simba.]
Zira
Remember your training as a unit!
[from offscreen; The Outsiders chase Simba through the gorge. One jumps on his back but falls. The Outsiders growl and Simba pauses at the bottom of a log pile. He looks up to see that it leads to the top of the gorge., pants, looks behind him to see the Outsiders charging toward him. He begins to climb the log pile. As he climbs, he dislodges a log that falls toward the Outsiders. They back away in time to avoid getting hit. Zira and Vitani glare up at Simba and they snarl. Simba looks over one shoulder at the Outsiders down below. He then looks back up at the log pile. Meanwhile, Kovu stands at the top of the gorge, looking down on Simba.]
Kovu
Simba!
Zira
Get him, Kovu! Get him! Do it! NOW!
[Kovu runs offscreen.]
Nuka
I'LL DO IT FOR YOU, MOTHER! Oh! MOTHER, ARE YA WATCHING?! I'm doin it for you, and I'm doin it for me.
[bounds gleefully up the logs and snickers but loses his balance; looks down at Zira as he climbs; under his breath]
Simba
Ah!
[loses his footing]
Nuka
This is my moment of glory! What? No!
[he grabs onto one of Simba's back paws and yells, as Simba winces and grunts; The log Nuka is standing on breaks, causing him to fall.]
Zira
NO!
Zira
Nuka.
[heartbroken]
Nuka
I'm sorry, M-Mother. {{small|I tried.}}
[weakly; his last words before his death]
Zira
{{small|Shh.}}
[reaches down for Nuka.]
Vitani
Nuka.
[approaches from behind Zira; sadly; bows her head. The scene transitions to the open savanna. Simba limps through the grass. Kiara, Zazu, Timon, and Pumbaa appear on a nearby hill.]
Kiara
Father? Father! Zazu, get help!
[looks at Zazu, who has alighted in a nearby tree]
Zazu
Oh, yes! Help! At once! Of course!
[flies away; Kiara, Timon, and Pumbaa rush down the hill toward Simba, who pauses, looks up wearily at their arrival and grunts]
Kiara
Father.
[nuzzles Simba, then pulls away and watches him with concern. Pumbaa skids to a halt in front of Simba, with Timon in his mane.]
Timon
Simba, talk to me! What happened?
[spreads his arms wide]
Simba
Kovu. Ambush.
[weakly; collapses on his side and moans]
Kiara
No.
Timon
It's all right, buddy. We're here for ya.
[Timon and Pumbaa carry Simba away, while Kiara strides alongside them. The scene transitions to the gorge, where the Outsiders are gathered mournfully around the log pile.]

A Chorus of Exclamations and Sounds
Timon
Ah!
Pumbaa
Hup! Hup! Hup!
[Timon and Pumbaa exchange glances but run on; Timon and Pumbaa run through the grass. They hide behind a tree trunk]
Timon and Pumbaa
Huh. Huh. Huh.
[they look around; they run back into the grass]
Pumbaa
Hup! Hup! Hup! Hup! Hup! Hup! Hup!
[Timon and Pumbaa each peek around one side of a tree; Timon and Pumbaa switch places; Timon and Pumbaa run on. Pumbaa takes up a position behind a rock, while Timon hides in a hollow log]
Timon
This must be where the deer and the antelope play!
[he and Pumbaa look up to see the herd of Topi charging toward them; they scream and duck down, and the Topi jump over them]
Kiara
Timon, what are you doing here?
[sternly]
Timon
Uh, shopping! We thought a nice pelt for the den, some throw pillows, a little potpourri--
Kiara
My father sent you. After he promised to let me do this on my own, he lied!
Timon
No. He just doesn't want you to get hurt.
Kiara
I should have known he'd never give me a real chance. I'll do this on my own. Away from the Pride Lands!
[runs off into the fields, continuing her hunt]
Timon
Hey! Wait! Come back!
[hops on Pumbaa and they run off after her]
Pumbaa
Come back here! Kiara! Come back!
Timon
Kiara, come back! Oh... she's gone again. Somebody's gotta get a beeper for this kid.
[Pumbaa stops running]
Nuka
LET'S LIGHT FIRES!!!!!!! Roasty toasty princess! Roasty toasty princess! Hey, is it hot here or is that just me? FIRE!
[Vitani chuckles evilly while lighting a trail of fire; Nuka guffaws while lighting a fire; finishes lighting the grass on fire in a circle around him and jumps in excitement, but then pauses; realizes he's surrounded by fire; shoots out and screams; lands away from the fire circle and laughs in amusement.]
Vitani
Come on!
[pulls him away]
Kiara
Unh!
[Kiara pauses, her nostrils flaring. On the ridge ahead of her, the herd doubles back and starts running toward her, pursued by flames. Kiara's expression turns to horror as she gasps. She turns and runs in the separate direction, with the herd hot on her heels. Meanwhile, Zira and Kovu survey the fire from a nearby ridge]
Zira
The plan is in motion. Go!
Zazu
Don't worry, Simba. She'll be fine. What could happen?
[Simba pauses abruptly in his pacing and stares at a distant column of smoke]
Simba
No. No! Kiara! Zazu, fly ahead! Find her!
[gasps; Simba runs off. Zazu flies into the air and stares in consternation at the smoke; gasps and Simba bounds down Pride Rock; Simba races past the lionesses, who move to follow him]
Zazu
I must tell Simba!
[flies overhead; he notices Kovu and Kiara and gasps; flies away]
Kiara
Where am I?
[Kovu drags her onto dry land, where she regains consciousness; weakly]
Kovu
You're safe in the Pride Lands.
Kiara
The Pride Lands? No! Why did you bring me here? Who do you think you are?
[shocked; angrily]
Kovu
But I think I'm the one who just saving your life.
Kiara
Look, I had everything under control.
Kovu
Not from where I'm standing.
Kiara
Then move downwind.
[The lions confront each other. Kiara begins jumping from side to side, as she had done in their earlier encounter as cubs. Soon Kovu's interest is piqued]
Kovu
What are you doing?
Kiara
Kovu?
[recognizing him; smirks proudly]
Simba
Kiara!
[offscreen; Simba and the lionesses from Pride Rock arrive. Simba jumps in front of Kiara, snarling and growling.]
Nala:
Kiara! You're all right.
Kiara
Father, how could you break your promise?
Simba
It's a good thing I did. I almost lost you. No more hunts for you, not ever.
Kiara
But I was doing just fine. Even before Kovu--
Simba
Kovu?
Nala
Simba!
[surprised at Simba's ferocity; Rafiki has arrived and is standing on the hillside behind Simba.]
Rafiki
Hey! You! How dare you save the King's daughter?
[sarcastically]
Simba
You saved her? Why?
Kovu
I humbly ask to join your pride.
Simba
No. You were banished with the other Outsiders.
[sternly]
Kovu
I have left the Outsiders. I'm a rogue. Judge me now, who I am. Or am I to be blamed for a crime I didn't commit?
[Simba snarls and paces around. Nala looks hard at him]
Nala
Simba, you owe him your daughter's life.
Zazu
Hmm, yes, sire. Clearly, we are in his debt. And royal protocol demands that all debts be paid. Though, in this case, you might want to make an exception.
[Simba paces a few moments more, then comes to a decision]
Simba
Hmm. My father's law will prevail. For now, I reserve judgment. We'll see who you really are.
[Kovu smiles inwardly and looks sidelong at Kiara, who smiles back at him. Zazu turns his back on Kovu]
Zazu
Hmph. Riffraff.
[Zazu flies off. All make their way back to Pride Rock, with Kovu walking behind Simba and growling to himself]

A Father's Concern for His Daughter's Safety
Kiara
Wow!
[starts to bound down Pride Rock.]
Simba
Whoa! Where do you think you're going in such a hurry?
[catches Kiara by her scruff and lifts her back onto Pride Rock; she giggles mischievously, and tries to bound away, but Simba stops her with a paw.; lifts Kiara into the air.]
Kiara
Daddy. Let go.
[grunts; giggles as Simba sets Kiara onto her stomach.]
Simba
Well, I just want you to be careful. Kiara, are you listening? Accidents can happen. You could easily get hurt or stepped--
[Kiara growls and jumps at a butterfly, but fails to catch it when he steps on Kiara's tail; she tries to jump, only to get stopped; Kiara sits up]
Kiara
Hurt or stepped on or even get lost.
Simba
And remember, I want you to stay in sight of Pride Rock at all times.
[steps off Kiara's tail.]
Kiara
At all times. I know. And if I see any strangers, don't talk to them. Come straight home. Okay, okay. Can I go now? Please?
[smiles pleadingly]
Simba
Hmm. Very funny.
[Nala approaches and sits next to Simba.]
Nala
Mind your father, Kiara.
[chuckles]
Kiara
Yes, mom.
[chuckles]
Simba
And stay away from the Outlands.
Zazu
Nothing there but a bunch of backstabbing, murderous Outsiders.
[flies down next to Kiara]
Simba
Zazu's right. You can't turn your back on them.
[looks over one shoulder.]
Kiara
Really? How come?
Simba
Never mind. Just run along now.
[gestures with his head.]
Kiara
But, Dad, I--
Simba
You'll understand someday. Go on.
Kiara
Dad.
[walks toward Simba.; nuzzles against Simba's leg and purrs]
Simba
And stay on the path I've marked for you.
[rubs the top of Kiara's head with a paw. She bounds away and starts clambering down Pride Rock; anxiously]
Nala
Simba, who does she remind you of? Hmm?
[chuckles]
Simba
Huh? What? Who?
[confused; looks at Nala]
Nala
She's just like you were when you were young.
[nuzzles Simba's chin]
Simba
Exactly. Do you realize the dangers we put ourselves in?
[Nala pins Simba to the ground, and he grunts]
Nala
You mean the dangers you put us in. She'll be fine.
[nuzzles Simba and they both purr; chuckles; strides toward the interior of Pride Rock. She smiles at Simba over one shoulder.]
Simba
Hey, Timon. Pumbaa. Come here.
[gestures with his head]
Timon
Good morning, Mon Capitán.
[sits astride Pumbaa's mane. They look over their shoulders and stride toward Simba.]
Simba
I want you to keep a close watch on Kiara. You know she's bound to run off.
Timon
No worries, Simba. We're on her like stink on a warthog.
Pumbaa
Hey!
Timon
It's a hard truth, Pumbaa. Live with it.
Simba
Guys, I'm counting on you. Danger could be lurking behind every rock.
[looks left and right]
Timon
Ah-ha. Hmm! Hmm! Hmm.
[looks quizzically at Simba, then takes him seriously; looks left; looks right]
