Sympathy for the Mandrill
00:00:06[snoring]
00:00:09[squeals]
00:00:17[grunts]
00:00:18Hey, can you tell me what that says?
00:00:23-[monkey chittering] -[gasps]
00:00:25[sighs]
00:00:27[screeching]
00:00:29[sighs] No response to formula 124.
00:00:33Status report on the mandrill?
00:00:35-[monkey screeching] -No signs of mutation, yet.
00:00:38We only have a few non-intelligent animals from the old world left.
00:00:42Increase the pace. I want him on two, three formulas a day.
00:00:45We will be the ones who learn what made the animals mutate.
00:00:48And then we will fix them. Understood?
00:00:54Guess I've gotta give you some more formula, Hugo.
00:00:58I'm sorry.
00:00:59[monkey screeching]
00:01:01It's OK. Look, we got something for you.
00:01:04[monkey screeching]
00:01:06-Yeah, that's better. -Formula 125.
00:01:11-[slurps] -One-hundred twenty-five.
00:01:14Have a good feeling about this one.
00:01:17Formula 3,853. I've got a good feeling about this one.
00:01:29Hoo-go.
00:01:31-[gasps] -Hu-go.
00:01:33Hugo!
00:01:35-[laughing] -Hugo.
00:01:37That's right.
00:01:39That's your name! You did it!
00:01:41-Welcome to our world, Hugo. -[laughing]
00:01:44-I guess we should tell Emilia. -Should we?
00:02:12[Emilia] We'll reach Scarlemagne's palace from the tunnels underneath.
00:02:16This is where we'll lead the humans out while Kipo fights off the Mega Monkey, I'm pointing to no one.
00:02:21Where's Kipo?
00:02:23She's been asleep all day. [chuckles]
00:02:26Transforming into a giant jaguar is pretty exhausting.
00:02:29Fine, you can catch her up later.
00:02:31Now, all we need is someone to steal a nectar bomb from under Scarlemagne's palace, so we can blow the tunnels behind us.
00:02:37We'll do it! We're great at sneaking around.
00:02:40Yeah. We're small and fast!
00:02:42And I'm very likeable.
00:02:47Kipo said she would be back by now. She definitely got captured.
00:02:50Yeah, that's why we're getting the nectar bomb.
00:02:52-So we can find Kipo, and-- -Shh, shut up for a sec, those nectar bombs are right under Scarlemagne's palace!
00:02:58[gasps] We can break Kipo out, then stop somewhere for dinner on the way back!
00:03:02-Emilia's none the wiser. -Uh... Yeah, Dave.
00:03:06Everything but the dinner part was already the plan.
00:03:09So, you're saying I made the plan even better.
00:03:11Hopefully, Mandu can keep Dr. Emilia from getting suspicious.
00:03:14[squeals]
00:03:19Mmm...
00:03:21Sorry, but this is really, really good!
00:03:24Are you hurt? Did you go to the goats?
00:03:26I'm so glad you're here, but what are you doing here?!
00:03:29Don't worry, Dad. I'm OK.
00:03:30A lot has happened since I saw you.
00:03:33Kipo Oak, I can't tell you how long I've waited for this.
00:03:37Just do what he asks. It's gonna be all right.
00:03:39Do you like your dress?
00:03:40Tell me. Wait, don't tell me!
00:03:42OK, tell me.
00:03:43So, uh, wait, you want me to tell you?
00:03:46Desperately!
00:03:48It's lovely. And poofy.
00:03:50To be honest, I thought I'd be locked in a spooky dungeon eating dirt.
00:03:53Don't give him any ideas.
00:03:56[chuckles] Please, you're no prisoner!
00:03:58You're my guest of honor, free to do as you please.
00:04:01Eat, wander, relax, but... no jaguar business.
00:04:11Uh... OK.
00:04:13Wonderful!
00:04:14Now that we have all the nasties out of the way, I must admit,
00:04:18I had ulterior motives for our little soiree.
00:04:22Some mutes have been rather fixated on the Burrow Girl.
00:04:27The half-mute hero of Brunchington Beach, who fought off the tyrant Scarlemagne.
00:04:32[laughs] You can see how that's bad for my image.
00:04:36-[groans] -So, tomorrow I want you to stand by my side as I take the crown, thus silencing any doubts of the total authority of Scarlemagne.
00:04:44But your name isn't Scarlemagne. It's Hugo.
00:04:49-What happened to you? -Lio...
00:04:51My own baby sister and you never told her about us?
00:04:55Well, tell her! No, don't tell her.
00:04:58I'll tell her.
00:04:59"Which is why he would forever be known as King Louis the Beloved."
00:05:05Do kings still exist on the surface?
00:05:07[chuckles] No. Not... not for a long time.
00:05:10Maybe I could be the king.
00:05:11And I'll throw big parties and wear beautiful habiliments.
00:05:16That means clothes.
00:05:17We could all live in my palace!
00:05:19And go wherever we want, with no walls to contain us!
00:05:22[both] Shh.
00:05:23Remember, buddy, no one else can hear you talk.
00:05:26It's too dangerous.
00:05:27Things changed for us the moment you spoke your name.
00:05:29But we're afraid if she hears you, she'll take you away from us.
00:05:47[sighs]
00:05:49Good night, King Hugo.

00:07:13[gasps]
00:07:16[Scarlemagne] She'd seen me.
00:07:17Dr. Emilia.
00:07:18-Dr. Emilia?! -Ah, ah, ah.
00:07:21Don't interrupt, it's rude.
00:07:22Didn't you teach her any manners?
00:07:24As I was saying...
00:07:25OK, OK. We... we were going to tell you about our progress.
00:07:29But... but... but we had to confirm the results.
00:07:31Yeah, I just watched a monkey play a piano solo.
00:07:34I think they're confirmed. So, which formula held the mutagen?
00:07:38-We don't know. -Excuse me?!
00:07:41You had us give him three variations just today.
00:07:43And who knows whether this was a delayed effect or a reaction
00:07:45-between two different formulas-- -Then I'll do it myself.
00:07:48We're so close to turning these mutes back into the animals they are.
00:07:50Zane, take a sample.
00:07:54Come here, monkey.
00:07:56Stop, you're scaring him.
00:07:57[grunts]
00:08:01Oh...
00:08:02[whimpering]
00:08:08[Hugo] Stop it!
00:08:12Um, let me go? Please?
00:08:17Zane? What are you doing?
00:08:19Mandrills have pheromones that can influence other primates, but the mutagen must have heightened the effects.
00:08:26Tell him something else. Do it.
00:08:29Do the waltz?
00:08:34Incredible.
00:08:38You two, stay here. Don't let him out of your sight!
00:08:42[door opens]
00:08:46What you just did is remarkable!
00:08:48-A little scary, but remarkable. -Is it true?
00:08:51You only gave me intelligence so you could take it away from everyone else?
00:08:56That's how it started.
00:08:58But you showed us we couldn't be a part of that anymore.
00:09:01That's why we're going to escape the burrow.
00:09:02Let's leave right now.
00:09:03-We... we can't. -Yes, we can!
00:09:05I can make them do whatever I want with my pheromone.
00:09:08I can make them pay for being so mean to us...
00:09:10I know you're angry, and I am too, but forcing people to do things against their will, that's wrong, Hugo.
00:09:17As soon as the baby's born, we're breaking you out of here.
00:09:21We'll escape together. I promise.
00:09:31We only have a couple of minutes before the guards are back.
00:09:33Those nectar bombs are close. I can feel it deep in my bug bones.
00:09:41Dave, you better hold that thing tight.
00:09:43One wrong move and this whole cave
00:09:45-goes up like a firecrack-- -[footsteps approaching]
00:09:46-[gasps] -[whispering] Shh... Guard, hide!
00:09:53Close one. Now, let's rescue Kipo.
00:09:56-Wait, where's the bomb? -I panicked.
00:09:58You guys were leaping behind crates like majestic gazelles, and I didn't want them to see that I had the nectar bomb, so, I kinda ate it.
00:10:06Oh, Dave. Oh, no.
00:10:08[belches]
00:10:12[gasps]
00:10:14[Emilia] I expected the mutation to affect his size, his intelligence, sure.
00:10:19But, to manifest a power like this?
00:10:22[panting, grunts]
00:10:24It's an incredible discovery.
00:10:28You can't lock him in a cage! He's a person!
00:10:31He's an animal, Lio.
00:10:33The future of the human race is on the line.
00:10:35So, think like a scientist and stop getting so attached.
00:10:39I trust you won't need any more convincing.
00:10:45It's OK. It's just a little longer until the baby comes.
00:10:49I promise.
00:10:51[hip-hop music playing]
00:11:17-[rumbling] -[gasps]
00:11:19[alarm blaring]
00:11:21Hello?
00:11:22[animals growling]
00:11:24What's happening?! Hello?
00:11:28-[yelling] -[glass shattering]
00:11:33[grunts]
00:11:39[panting]
00:11:40Oh.
00:11:51[roaring]
00:11:59It wasn't you?
00:12:00Dr. Emilia was controlling my mom?!
00:12:03Wait, that massive monkey is Song?
00:12:07She's alive?
00:12:08I knew there was something different about that Mega Monkey.
00:12:13Song's pregnancy had side effects.
00:12:17And with your pheromone, Dr. Emilia turned her into a weapon.
00:12:20I spent months tracking them, and I tried to get her back,
00:12:23-but she's gone. -No, Dad, she's not!
00:12:26She knew who I was.
00:12:28What? Uh... Are you sure?
00:12:31[laughs] You failed her, and now I have her.
00:12:36-Oh, that is so us. -My parents raised you.
00:12:39They named you. They... they loved you.
00:12:42-How could you hate them so much? -I was a child, on my own.
00:12:46Thrown into a world a billion times larger than anything I'd ever known.
00:12:50Do you have any idea what that's like?
00:12:52Actually, yes. I know how scary it must have been alone.
00:12:57You have no idea what it was like.
00:13:01[groans]
00:13:03[panting]
00:13:05[rumbling]
00:13:10[squawking]
00:13:12[panting]
00:13:18[screams]
00:13:22[panting]
00:13:40[rumbling]
00:13:42[squawking]
00:13:45[growling]
00:13:46Oh!
00:14:00It's a palace!
00:14:02[rock music playing]
00:14:13They're just like me.
00:14:16Well, kind of.
00:14:17-[piano playing] -[rock music stops]
00:14:22Um, hello, chaps.
00:14:24The name's Hugo, and I have wonderful news.
00:14:27You are my first friends on the surface!
00:14:30What are you doing in our dark food court? This is my domain.
00:14:34[sniffs] You smell like a human.
00:14:37Oh, gross. Humans are disgusting.
00:14:40-They are not! -You're a weirdo, aren't you?
00:14:43-Seems a bit harsh. -OK, tell you what,
00:14:45I'll give you a chance to prove your worth in battle.
00:14:49Hm... Please, say it's a battle of wits.
00:14:51[rock music playing]
00:14:53-[grunts] -[groans]
00:14:56[both grunting]
00:14:58Oh, you're very strong.
00:15:02Good for you.
00:15:03Should I finish him?
00:15:05[chuckles] Go for it.
00:15:14[grunts]
00:15:18[Hugo, voice echoing] You're going to lose the fight.
00:15:22[grunts]
00:15:24[grunting]
00:15:27-[groans] -[laughs] Yeah!
00:15:29C'mon, Porcelaine! You can do it, just get him!
00:15:32[grunts]
00:15:35[groans]
00:15:38[panting]
00:15:40[laughs] Not bad! All right, you're in.
00:15:50OK, Dave. Easy does it.
00:15:52One step at a time.
00:15:54[stomach rumbling]
00:16:04[gasps]
00:16:05No!
00:16:08Go without me. I'll never make it.
00:16:10-We would never. -Yeah, you have the bomb.
00:16:14But what if I explode? Everyone but me would die!
00:16:17And I'll be bummed out for a really long time!
00:16:19Scarlemagne's palace is guarded by a thousand mind-controlled humans.
00:16:23It's gonna take all of us to break Kipo out.
00:16:26I know you can do it. I believe.
00:16:28What about Wolf?
00:16:29Do you believe in me just as much as Benson?
00:16:31-Uh... uh... yep. -You paused!
00:16:34Just please don't blow us up.
00:16:35Whoa, everyone's counting on me.
00:16:40Oh, almost there.
00:16:46I did it!
00:16:48[exhales]
00:16:50[gasps]
00:16:53No!
00:16:55[laughing]
00:16:56He's just, like, trying so hard.
00:16:58-It's sad, it's, like, so weird. -I know, right?
00:17:04Hey, hey, quiet down.
00:17:07We're here.
00:17:09They're distracted. Let's loot that observatory.
00:17:12Oh, we're stealing?
00:17:14Yeah, that's how it works up here.
00:17:16You stick with your kind and take what you need from everyone else.
00:17:20[all growling]
00:17:21[Lio] Stay back! Stay away!
00:17:25Everybody, cool it!
00:17:26[sniffing] Smells like fresh meat.
00:17:29It's those goth apes! C'mon, let's get 'em!
00:17:31Oh snap, run!
00:17:34[wolves howling]
00:17:36Lio. Lio!
00:17:39Hugo?
00:17:42I thought you were...
00:17:45Oh, Hugo.
00:17:47I can't tell you how good it is to see you.
00:17:51Where's Song?
00:17:52When the burrow fell... we barely made it out.
00:17:57[cooing]
00:17:59Is that my blanket?
00:18:01-Hugo, I-- -You promised we would all leave together.
00:18:05Did you even try to save me?
00:18:07Did you at least return, to see if I'd survived the collapse?
00:18:10-[crying] -It all happened so fast.
00:18:12Emilia came for the baby. We had to run.
00:18:14Hugo, we've been running ever since.
00:18:16But you made it out, and now we are together!
00:18:19You, me... and this is Kipo.
00:18:22You didn't even look.
00:18:26May I... hold her?
00:18:30I don't think...
00:18:33-[crying] -Let me hold her!
00:18:36[both grunting]
00:18:38[Kipo crying]
00:18:42I'm sorry.
00:18:44[laughing]
00:18:50[grunts]
00:18:51[laughing]
00:19:00[grunts]
00:19:01[panting]
00:19:03Hugo, where'd you go? You missed...
00:19:06[grunts]
00:19:08You're no longer the leader of this pack.
00:19:11You're a subject. My subject.
00:19:14You know, I was once told that forcing someone to act against their will is wrong.
00:19:19But, you know what I think is wrong?
00:19:20Ignoring that which makes you superior.
00:19:24The surface shall have kings once more.
00:19:28-And the world will bow before-- -Hugo?
00:19:32No...
00:19:36Scarlemagne!
00:19:38[laughing]
00:19:43So, you see, Kipo?
00:19:45All of this really began with your father... with our father.
00:19:49Dad, how could you leave him?
00:19:52I had to make a choice. And I chose you.
00:19:57-I am so sorry, Hugo-- -Don't you dare call me that!
00:20:01-Take him away! -[gasps]
00:20:10What? What are you doing?
00:20:13-I'm hugging you. -Why?
00:20:15Because you need it.
00:20:21Man, that was tense.
00:20:23[stomach rumbling]
00:20:24Dave, what was that?
00:20:25OK, it is possible that this explosive nectar is upsetting my stomach.
00:20:30[gasps]
00:20:31Run!
00:20:34Dave, no! Stop following us!
00:20:37Oh, oops!
00:20:39My bad.
00:20:40Take cover!
00:20:41[explosion]
00:20:44[sneezes]
00:20:45Oh, I think I'm allergic to this stuff.
00:20:48[sneezes]
00:20:50[sneezes]
00:20:51[sneezes]
00:20:54Bless you.
00:20:57What are you nerds waiting for?
00:20:58Scarlemagne's palace is this way.
00:21:01[sneezes]
00:21:07Dad?
00:21:10He's right. All of this is my fault.
00:21:15-You must hate me. -Of course not.
00:21:22-No more secrets? -No more secrets.
00:21:25[explosion]
00:21:28[all coughing]
00:21:30Are you sure that was only one drop of nectar?
00:21:32Whoa, that stuff was inside me.
00:21:35Let's find the secret prison and blow the doors off the place.
00:21:38Found her.
00:21:40Hey.
00:21:42[music playing]
