(unsettling music)
(wings fluttering)
(whizzing sound)
(jars clinking)
- [Samia] Beaks up, gang.
Maisah, you stand by on the corner
and MNA, you're a distraction.
Street clear, Hakim?
- Hmm?
Oh.
Hmm.
(bright tones)
It's all clear.
(wings fluttering)
(tense music)
- Huh?
Saheed.
(marabous cackling)
(Saheed moans with fright)
(marabous cackling)
- [Bubo] I can't see them.
- [Biba] Because they're too far away.
- [Bubo] Well.
(resolute music)
(Saheed grunts)
(Saheed gibbering)
- You think this jewel will set us free?
- No, but it'll keep us alive for one more day.
You stay clear, yeah?
- Mm-hmm.
- Maisah, spring the bling.
(intrepid music)
(pin twangs)
Ha.
(Samia gasps)
(merchant grunts)
(Samia grunts)
Where is it? Where'd it go?
(Basak laughs)
(merchant grunts)
(both grunt)
We're done here. (group laughs)
(exotic string music)
(Pigeon C farts and screams) (Pigeon A screams)
(adventurous music)
- Whoo-hoo! Haha!
(Richard laughs)
Today is the day.
- Yeah!
Wait, day what? What day?
- Test day. Shine time.
I'll finally prove that I got what it takes
to lead our flock back home.
- Oh yeah. Forgot.
But that's not till this afternoon, right?
Still tons of quality chill time.
- Chill all you want, man,
as long as you do it at maximum velocity.
(both grunt)
(sprightly music)
(Max moans)
(Richard laughs)
- Watch out, bro!
- You watch out, Slow.
(laughs) I'll lead you into the turn.
- Lead all you want.
(sprightly music continues)
- Woo-hoo!
Haha!
(Richard laughs)
Max, follow me.
(sprightly music continues)
(group yells)
Impossible.
(Max yells)
- Sorry, Nonsense Birds.
(Max moans)
(hatchling screams)
(hatchling moans)
- Nest wreckers!
(Richard pants)
- Never seen someone soar so slow.
(Richard grunts)
Dad?
- Hey, Dad. Sup?
- Flying right, boys?
- Yep, and super fast too. Haha.
- Don't waste your energy, little hothead.
You'll need it for later today.
- Ha, you know me, Dad.
My energy is inexhaustible.
- I do know you, Richard,
which is why I'm telling you to slow down.
- Whoa!
- You on the other claw,
could stand to step up your game, Max.
- Huh?
- Just remember, my sons,
whichever of you is chosen
as flock leader trainee today,
we will always love you both.
For a parent's love is a vast, powerful force.
(Richard yawns)
Family bond...
- Blah, blah, blah.
- My father used to say... - You're so right, Dad.
Your wisdom is just like kablam.
- We need to prep for the big test
and, uh, ponder all you said.
(Aurora laughs)
- I'll never forget what a mess you were
the day you became flock leader trainee.
Flitting around like an adorable,
nervous little hummingbird.
- (gasps) I have never flitted in my life.
I knew I was the stork for the job.
- (laughs) Whatever you need to tell yourself, dear.
(bird squeals and whimpers)
- Migration routes north,
through Gibraltar, into Spain.
- Oh, stop. - And then France.
- You cram any more facts in your brain,
you're gonna turn into a compass.
- Well, I don't wanna ace the big trainee test
and then lead the flock in the wrong direction.
(Max yells)
- Oh guano, I forgot the trainee test
involved a test! - What?
This test is literally the only thing I talked about
for three months.
- The flock doesn't even migrate for five days, right?
Forget this crazy, stressful stuff.
We ought to be resting up for the homeward trip,
and chilling our beaks off.
- Well, you're taking this test
whether you like it or not.
But first, the bird with no fear stands once more
atop the cliff of doom.
Will this dashing daredevil dazzle his fans
by waiting even later to deploy his wings?
- Breaking your neck would be
very irresponsible, little hothead.
- What a shame his brother is too much of the scaredy bird
to follow him and experience the ultimate thrill of
the cliff drop!
(laughs) It's super fun.
You have to do the cliff drop someday.
It really tickles the belly.
- Someday.
(zipping sound) Huh?
- [Richard] Woo-hoo! Yeah!
(upbeat music)
- Welcome my fellow feathered friends.
I'm Kiki, your host today,
three times a day, every day.
Sit back, unruffle those feathers and enjoy.

(Kiki grunts and gibbers)
(Kiki groans)
Thank you, my wonderful audience, uh...
(Olga clapping)
Of three?
(Kiki sighs deeply)
(small bird yawns)
- I've been more entertained watching palm leaves grow.
- Oh!
- Hopefully your imaginary friend was excited.
(small bird groans)
(restrained music)
- Well...
Did Oleg like it?
- What do you think, Oleg?
Hmm?
Mm-hmm.
Oleg says he was somewhat entertained.
(Kiki groans)
- Oh, but that's the best review he's ever given,
by the way.
- Olga, I'm not hip anymore.
(gasps) See? I said hip!
(Kiki sobbing)
- Are you upset that we disturbed your show?
- No, the disturbance was the only interesting part.
The show itself is a stale pile of disco doo-doo.
- You just need new inspiration.
Another little adventure with your best friends.
- Ooh! That could help.
- First adventure should be the exams.
Let's kick some eggs.
- Exams? I love competitions.
Whoo-hoo! Showtime!
(bright music)
(storks clattering rhythmically)
(bright music continues)
- Test one, the living obstacle course.
(storks clattering)
- Whoo!
- Nonsense Birds, go!
(birds yell)
- Prepare to be amazed.
Yeehaw!
- Hope they've forgotten all the demolished nests.
(birds yell)
- Whoa! Ooh!
Whoa. (laughs)
(tense music)
(bright tones)
- No collisions. Test one is passed.
(storks gagging)
- [Olga and Kiki] Emergency first-aid test!
(urgent music)
- Okay, let's see here.
Hold her tight. Hi-ya!
- Blagh!
(Max grunts)
- Blagh!
(bird grunts) (bird laughs)
- Test number three, fish out of water.
- [All] Mm-hmm.
(Richard groaning)
- He should get some extra points for that wiggling one.
- No bonus points,
that goes against protocol.
(stork clattering)
(Max grunts)
Thank you for your reasonably satisfactory efforts, boys.
We have come to the final test,
candidate's choice.
- That is where you show us what kind
of leader you would be.
- Show us who you really are.
- Good luck, boys.
(stork groans) (gong resounds)
- My fellow storks,
I give you stork-won-do.
(Max grunting)
- [Aurora and Walter] Huh?
(vigorous music)
- Ha!
- Hi-ya!
(Max grunting)
- What am I looking at?
Are they dancing?
- Sparring I think, Weep.
Their choice, remember? That's protocol.
- Well, I need to answer the protocol of nature.
I've seen enough of this stork-fon-du.
(Max grunts)
(Max chattering)
- Hi-ya!
(Richard yelling)
- Thank you for that interesting demonstration, Max.
Richard, it's your turn.
- Follow me, flock.
Hold onto your beaks, everyone,
as I show you my bravery with the cliff drop.
(wind whistling)
(Max whimpers)
- Um, nope. Negatory.
Never. Uh-uh.
All 31 flavors of no!
- You said you would do it someday,
and guess what?
Someday is today! Just do what I do.
You've seen it a thousand times.
- But we don't exactly have the same dimensions
and proportions and stuff.
(intrepid music)
(Max whimpers)
- Yeah!
- Max, no!
- (sighs) Okay.
- [Claudius] Max! Stop!
- [Aurora] No!
(intrepid music continues)
(Max groans)
(Walter yells)
(Max yells)
(Max grunts)
(Max groaning)
- Huh?
(Max laughs)
- Ha, told you you could do it.
Nil points for style, but hey.
- That young bird is against proto-
(Max grunts)
- ...col!
- That is the coolest thing I've ever done.
Being in your flock is gonna rock.
Let's do it again.
- Boys!
- Are you okay?
Why would you do that?
- That was very irresponsible of you.
- It was just advanced flying.
I mean, it's fun. Tell him, Max.
- I think (grunts)
we have seen enough, harrumph.
- We'll clatter when the decision is made.
(Max grunts)
(Richard grunts)
- Oh, Richard.
- Unacceptable.
That little hothead is way too reckless for the job.
- Every young bird makes mistakes.
Richard did very well in the other tests.
- Hmm!
One must never place a flock member in danger.
- Walter is right. This is serious.
- For safety's sake,
he must be disqualified.
(Aurora sighs)
- I'll go tell him. - No!
That goes against protocol.
(Claudius sighs deeply)
(Richard sighs)
- I totally nailed it.
- Word, bird.
Ow!
- Sore muscles?
- Ugh, it's the twigs.
- No worries.
- You have been a twig tamer for your last test,
'cause you are the master of itty-bitty pokey sticks.
(storks clattering)
- Oh, I can't wait till they announce that I won!
Whoo!
(solemn music) (storks clattering)
(Richard laughs)
- First an important announcement.
The winds are changing faster this year,
so our migration window will close in four days.
- And now to the official part of the evening.
We want to honor both our candidates.
(tense tones)
- The Flock Council have come to an agreement
of who will be taken under Claudius's wing
for the next three years,
after which he will succeed Claudius
as our trusted leader.
The choice ended up being quite obvious.
Who, um?
(Richard laughs)
Where was I again?
- It was quite obvious!
- Oh, yes. (laughs)
Thank you.
It was quite obvious that Richard...
- Yes! (laughs)
- had to be disqualified!
- Huh?
- Our new leader trainee
will be Max.
- Max? - What?
- You mean me Max, Max me?
(solemn music)
- Mm-hmm.
- Uh.
(crowd laughs)
(storks clattering)
(Max laughs nervously)
- Mm-hmm.
(Richard grunting)
- Protocol dictates that you say a few words
to your future followers.
(solemn music)
- Dear fam...
D-dear flock...
Flockies. Flockers.
I'm not sure what to call you now.
I know this is a gigantic duty.
(laughs) Duty.
Uh, and I will do my duty as good as possible.
- No! - With a beak load
of help from my- - He's not better than me.
- That goes against protocol!
- Why? Why not me?
- Richard! - I, I did best.
- Go to your nest. Now.
- It's not fair!
(tense music)
- Ooh!
- Meet me at first light tomorrow
for flight combination training.
But for now, go have some fun.
- Oh.
(upbeat music playing in the distance)
(footsteps tapping)
- It's his fault.
He just had to do it my way.
- He did the best he could.
- He wanted to win himself.
- I don't think so.
He knows how important that was for you.
He cares about you.
- No one cares about me.
- They do. We do too.
But as I know from that one time
I gave a bad performance,
you just need some alone time to get over this.
(sighs) Probably two or three minutes are enough.
- Come find us when you feel better.
- We'll be the ones raising the bird house roof, woot-woot!
- Come on, Oleg, you heard Richard.
He wants to be alone.
(wings fluttering)
- See you on the dance floor, Max.
- Huh?
- You were supposed to lose.
- I tried. I never wanted this.
- Prove it, go tell Dad that I deserve
to be the new leader.
- You mean the leader trainee.
You know I can't.
- A real leader trainee would have no problem
telling Dad who the trainee should be.
You're just weak and lazy.
- Maybe this is why they didn't choose you,
because you are a self-centered hothead!
- I'm not a hothead.
Get a squawk, man.
- Yeah, squawk away, man.
- You know what?
Take a squawk on the wild side.
I don't need a flock.
(ominous music)
- Oh, squawk.
(birds chirping)
- [Olga] I don't care.
We gotta do something about this now.
- [Kiki] But everybody's still asleep.
- [Olga] Hey, Max! Get up!
- Huh?
- Your brother's gone.
(Max yawns loudly)
- He'll be darting around.
- Maybe, but not at the lake.
- We've searched everywhere.
- Do you know anything about it?
(wind whistling) (Richard shivering)
- Huh?
(ill-boding music)
Okay, over here.
North.
Sporks are the best navigators in the world.
No flock needed.
(ill-boding music continues)
(wind whooshing)
- Would he really migrate north alone?
Of course he would, and it's my fault.
Oh Richard, you're gonna get yourself killed.
- Well, then we have to be really brave.
- Following him into the desert?
Oh, this adventure seems a bit too bold.
- What do I do?
Dad's expecting me to prepare.
- You have a responsibility to your flock.
You have to prepare to lead them.
We'll find him.
He can't be that far.
(daunting music)
(Richard panting)
(thunder rumbling)
(Richard panting)
(Richard groaning)
(Richard panting)
(Richard grunts)
- Oh! (moans)
(wind whooshing)
- [Claudius] - Left wing down. Right wing up.
Stretch to the side.
And up, a nice strong V formation.
Focus.
Where's your head at?
The flock will starve if we miss the time window.
The winds are changing even faster than we thought.
We can't stay longer than two days.
You need to step up.
- On, on your marks.
- [Claudius] And again.
(Weepy Walter groans)
- Watch out, wait, wait, wait.
(Max sighs)
(Kiki panting)
(Kiki whimpering)
(Kiki yelling in fright)
- We'll end like this, like the ugly marabou.
- Oleg's scared too, but we can't give up.
(gasps) That's Richard's claw writing.
Now we know where he went.
(zipping sound)
No, Oleg, not that way.
We came from there.
Come on, bestie,
we gotta stick together.
(wind whistling) (distant rumbling)
- Ridiculous.
(Richard panting)
(Richard yelling)
(Richard screaming)
(both screaming)
- Janky-tailed sparrow knocked us off line.
- Reconnecting.
(beeping sound) (warbling sound)
It'll take more than a sunbaked sparrow
to stop the (yells) freedom fighters.
- Link to the city is back up.
Iron Claw's days are numbered.
(Richard panting)
(tense music)
- What?
- [Kiki] Could we, maybe, cancel this adventure
before the finale?
(Kiki panting)
(Kiki sighs)
(screams) Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot!
- [Pigeon A] Iron Claw's firewall is too strong.
- Look. - We may need more
than cyberattacks to take out the evil emperor.
- We've been spotted.
Hacktivists, take cover.
- We are wires. You cannot see us.
- Have you seen a sparrow around here?
- Is that some sort of code?
- (gasps) Are you Zamano's new henchbirds?
- What? No.
- Who's Zapato?
- Maybe they can help us take down Iron Claw.
- Yes, we can use them as Trojan horses.
- But they're way too small to ride on.
- Uh, learn history.
We can use them to attack Iron Claw Zamano,
our sock puppets in the city.
- Huh?
- What city? (Pigeon A laughs)
- The one we're fighting to free from its evil emperor.
(Pigeon A farts) (all scream)
- Did you see a sparrow or not?
- Activate stealth helmet.
- Many layers of security.
This is top secret info.
- There was an incident with a sparrow earlier this morning.
- Disconnected the tin foil hats and flew to the city.
- Where's your stealth onion?
- Oh, no! I ate it.
Information insecure and breath terrible.
- OMG. Disguise, disguise, deadly.
- Whoa!
- Oh! Oh!
- How do we get to this city?
- Impossible flight through the deadly mountain pass,
or take the bus.
(Richard grunts)
(Richard moans)
(gentle flute music)
- Huh?
(gulping sound)
Ah. (shivers)
Haha!
(bright music)
Whoo-hoo!
Whoa!
(beak clattering)
(energetic music)
(Richard laughs)
Whoo.
(Richard panting)
Man, it's so cool to be alone!
(horn blaring)
Whoa!
- Richard!
- Huh? - Yoo-hoo!
- [Olga] Richard!
(Richard grunts)
- Whoo!
That tour guide sure knows his stuff.
We know about every mountain in the area now.
- (sighs) What are you doing here?
- Looking for you.
- He looks scuzzy. Ugh.
You should have taken the bus, too.
Now that's my kind of adventure.
- You shouldn't have come.
- We had to.
If you're not back at the Great Lake in three days,
your family can't migrate.
- Tell them to go without me.
I'm on my own now.
- Ouch.
- We are your friends, Richard,
and friends don't leave friends alone.
- Friends. You like adventures, right?
- Well.
- Look at this place.
I've never seen anything like it.
Let's explore today and go back tomorrow.
- Gorgeous.
Oh!
We could maybe stay a tiny bit longer.
I really need to try these scarfs.
- I'm hungry. (stomach growling)
(Olga slurping)
Yes, the migration.
I know, Oleg.
(soft music)
Unpacking his knack bag.
Sure, unexpected things can happen.
Dangers of the city.
But come on, it's too late
to go all the way back.
One night. - Mm-hmm.
- Not convinced yet?
- But it's three against one.
- Oleg, can't argue against that.
- Yes!
(Kiki laughing)
- No, we didn't blindside you.
- Whoo! Hoo-hoo!
(lively music)
Ooh! (laughs)
(Richard laughs)
Wow!
- Whoa!
- Whoo-hoo!
- Ooh!
- Ah!
(lively music continues)
(Kiki gasps)
(Richard laughs)
- Whoo! (laughs)
(warbling sound)
(Kiki laughs)
- Whoop.
(Olga gasps)
- Yummy!
(lively music continues)
- Whoop.
Whoo!
(Kiki grunts)
Oh.
(Olga grunting)
- Oh.
- Whoo! (laughs)
(Richard grunts)
Yahoo!
Ooh!
(Biba cackling)
Huh? What do you guys want? (tense music)
- Trouble finding shiny...
- precious treasures.
- Are you lost from your tiny, pathetic group?
As you know, we'll show no mercy.
(Biba cackling)
- No mercy.
- What are you talking about?
Stop it. Leave me alone.
- [Samia] Is this what you're looking for?
- You should keep your little thieves
on a tighter leash, Samia.
- Uh-huh.
- Humph!
(tense music)
- Oh!
(Biba cackling)
(Richard laughs)
Olga?
Kiki?
Where are you?
- What's up?
- You gotta see these sparrows.
Follow me.
(whizzing sound) - Huh?
- [Pigeons] Whoa!
- Resistance report:
sunbaked sparrow and sock puppets survive run-in
with Iron Claw's cruel jewel squad.
- Ooh! Cruel jewel squad.
Oh!
(Pigeon C grunting)
- They're headed straight
for Iron Claw's stronghold. (farts)
- The sock puppets could help us strike
at the evil's very heart.
(resolute music) (gong resounds)
- There they are.
- Is that normal sparrow behavior?
- Oleg says no.
- Huh?
(Saheed humming)
Hi.
- Ugh.
- Thanks for helping me out back there.
(wings fluttering)
Pretty weird behavior for marabous.
(Saheed whimpers)
How can I repay you?
Hmm? - By staying out of our way.
- Who are you?
- We're riffraff.
(Saheed gibbering)
(tense music)
- (gasps) Oh. Wow.
(Bubo cackling)
(Biba cackling)
(jewels clinking)
- Almost too late.
The beautiful Zamano awaits you.
- And he's not a good waiter.
(both cackling)
- Huh?
- Here we are again.
(enigmatic music)
- Oh, I'd do anything for tailfeathers like that.
- [Zamano] Samia, approach.
Did you find it?
- Hope so.
It's a golden clip with precious jewels.
(Biba grunts)
- How could one of these pathetic,
little specks be the Great Jewel?
Are you out of your mind?
(Basak whimpering)
Did she really believe that this is the Great Jewel?
- Uh... - Say nothing, Basak.
- Did she?
Hmm?
- Uh.
No.
- What did she say about it?
- That it keeps us alive for one more day.
- Did you little sparrows think you could trick me?
- Yeah. - [Olga] Enough!
- Not enough.
Who do you think you are
that you dare disturb this ceremony?
- Ha!
I don't see a ceremony here.
I see a cocky peacock and his goons playing dress up
and abusing small, innocent birds.
You know I can't stop myself when someone's suffering.
Come on, Oleg,
let's flap 'em off and then we can head back home.
- Hmm?
- [Olga] Don't be scared.
- I see.
- Oleg?
- Who are you strangers?
- Oleg. Oleg.
- I'm Richard, and these are my friends, Kiki and Olga.
- So Richard, where are you from?
- We came from over the desert.
- (laughs) It's been a long time since someone did that.
It's hardly even possible for little birds.
You must be a great leader, hmm?
- I'm even faster than I look,
and I've trained my stamina.
- I bet.
But see, we have a peaceful
and flawless working community here in the city.
We are not interested in more sparrows
or their dull followers.
- My friends aren't dull,
and we're only staying until tomorrow.
Then we're going back north before the hot dry winds rise.
- That's good.
- No, that's not good.
What's going on here?
- Please, we appreciate you trying to help,
but we can handle this.
(Zamano laughs disdainfully)
- Oh.
Can you!
- Uh-oh.
(Zamano grunts aggressively)
Samia, our arrangement is you search
for the Great Jewel, and I let you live.
Is it not?
I'm losing hope that you will ever be able to deliver.
(Basak whimpers)
What do you think?
Should we ask these strangers to find it
so I can deliver you from this misery?
(Basak sneezes)
- Leave her alone, or I'll knot your tailfeathers together.
Don't hold me back, Oleg, let me at him!
- What's that, Oleg?
Yes, yes, she is loud - I can't help it, Oleg.
I'm an empath.
- And rude too.
(gasps) She does things you don't appreciate.
- Hey, stop talking to Oleg.
- Huh? - And even worse,
she made you stay here instead of going back.
Ah, I feel you.
Life must be hard with someone like Olga around.
- That's not true.
Don't answer, Oleg.
- You two have so much conflict.
Life would be easier for Oleg without you.
- (gasps) Don't you dare say that.
- I'll liberate him from you.
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no! (Zamano cackling)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no! (disorienting music)
No, no, no, no! (Zamano cackling)
(dissonant tones)
- Oleg, you're free from this miserable relationship.
(tense music)
(Olga groans)
- Where is he? Where is he?
- I put him in there. (laughs)
- Oh, no!
No, Oleg!
Oleg, get out, get out!
- Release Oleg from the mirror, now!
- See how dull you all are.
You completely believe her brother is trapped in my mirror,
even though it's only her own reflection.
- You know nothing about Oleg.
He's her bestie, not her brother.
You obviously can't talk to him.
And when Olga says he's in the mirror,
then he's in the mirror, and we'll get him out.
- Sure, but he stays right there
until you bring me the Great Jewel.
All of you do what I say,
or you'll never get Oleg back
and the ugly Bous will end your pathetic, poor lives.
(Olga whimpers)
You will finally bring me the Great Jewel tomorrow
before the tower's shadow reaches the pavilion.
- When is that?
- Just before sunset.
(ominous music)
- [Richard] Can you tell me more about this jewel?
- No.
- I get that you're upset or jealous, or whatever.
You couldn't find it.
But from now on- - Zamano made this up.
The Great Jewel doesn't exist.
It's a stupid legend.
- How can you be so sure?
- Because we would've found it.
We've searched for years.
- Why would you do that if it doesn't exist?
- Because we have no choice.
We can't leave the city
because half the flock couldn't make it across the desert.
We can't hide because the marabous monitor everything
circling over the city.
So every day we look for any jewel to bring to Zamano
to buy ourselves one more day of life.
- That sounds like a not so hot plan.
- Yeah, well, there's plans and then there's real life.
- What's in it for the marabous?
- Zamano reminds them day in, day out, how ugly they are.
The jewels make them feel better.
It's a perfect rip-off system.
- That lets him control the city, but why?
- Because he's a twisted, mean, small-minded,
sticky-feathered, cruel,
menacing, bright wing- - Anyway!
We have to find the Great Jewel to get Oleg back.
So it exists, it has to exist.
- Ugh. - Yes, and if it does exist,
then you are the key to finding it
because you already know all the places where it isn't.
- Very funny.
- No, seriously.
Where haven't you looked?
That's the place that we should start.
- You don't wanna go there.
- What place is that?
- The tower.
(Basak whimpers)
- Huh? (choir vocalizing)
- There are definitely no jewels.
- The tower it is then.
- No, not that way.
You should never take the main street.
- (laughs) You may not be big on plans in this city,
but you sure got a lot of rules.
- Oh.
- Ugh, they'll screw it up.
(calm music)
(stick twangs) - Hm.
(stick twangs) (Max grunts)
(Max groans)
(stick twangs) Doh!
- What's bothering you, Max?
(Max grunts)
- Just trying to fix my nest, that's all.
- Why isn't Richard helping you?
(Max grunts)
- I can do it without him.
(stick twangs)
I am just trying (lighthearted music)
to fix it by myself. (loud thuds)
- You know, you can always tell me
if something is bothering you.
(Max yells)
(stick twangs)
- He's so selfish.
He just flew north alone without even-
- Richard left?
We need to find him.
He can't survive in the desert all by himself.
We need to set up the Stork Patrol to search the area.
- You gonna tell Dad?
- I have to. We're a team.
(suspenseful music)
(marabous cackling)
- That tower doesn't look too scary.
(Kiki groans)
- It's even scarier inside.
- You've been in there?
- Yeah, well, I think so.
It's a strange place.
- You think you've been in there.
- Ugh, look,
it's hard to explain, okay?
- The tower knows you better than you know yourself.
- It's dangerously disorienting.
- Ha, leave it to me.
I grew up with storks.
I'm an expert in navigation.
Most of the time they even ask me for directions.
(Olga grunts)
(unsettling music)
Whoa.
(wings fluttering)
We'll cover more ground if we split up
and meet at the top.
Everyone choose a different staircase.
Olga, since you have night vision,
you take the darkest one.
Which one will you take, Kiki?
- (gasps) Uh, none.
- Good one. So which one?
(doubtful music)
- This one looks good.
- Fine, then I'll take the one on the left.
Samia, you go right.
- No.
I've been there already,
I'll go left.
- Ah, good choice.
I'll take the one you couldn't handle.
- Mm.
- Where do I go?
- Come with me, little feather ball.
- Yeah!
(doubtful music continues)
(Kiki groaning)
(Kiki screams)
- What is it? Rats?
Snakes? Scorpions?
(Olga laughing and chomping)
- A wrinkle!
Oh, I'd kill for a soothing clay mask right now.
Friends, I've got to work on my image.
- Okay, let's go.
(wings fluttering)
(unsettling music)
- Well, ours goes down.
- What does that mean?
I thought we'd meet at the top.
- I don't know. It'll be fine.
- Mm-hmm.
(Olga humming with optimism)
(Richard panting)
- Oh, hey. Were you racing?
- No, I don't care who gets to the top first.
- Me neither.
(restrained music)
Yeah.
(both panting)
- Hey.
- Sup?
(both grunt)
- Breaking a sweat there?
- The only thing I break are speed records.
(wings fluttering)
- Ooh. (voice echoing)
Haha!
(Kiki laughs)
Oh my.
(bright tones)
Nice.
Haha!
(disco ball whirring)
(upbeat music)
(gasps) What razzle-dazzle!
Oh! I'm bedazzled! (laughs)
(disco ball whirring)
(Kiki laughs)
(upbeat music continues)
(Basak humming)
- We don't have a second to spare.
We'll search the desert,
heading towards the great mountains.
- Hmm.
- Spread out, but don't lose sight of your wing man.
- Huh? You're coming with us?
- Of course, Max. He's my son.
- Is everyone ready?
- Yes, Dad.
- Then hurry, everyone.
We don't have long until sunset.
(urgent music)
(Richard panting)
(both grunt)
(both groaning)
(both grunt)
(both groan)
- You're already here?
- Yeah, it was strange.
We went downstairs all that time
and somehow ended up here.
(tense music)
Where's Kiki?
- Oh no.
We lost him.
- [Guardian] He will be all right.
(mysterious music)
Don't worry about your friend.
- Why shouldn't we?
- He's fine.
He'll be back in time when he needs you and you need him.
- Oh, that's cool.
- Who are you?
- My name is Zora.
I'm the guardian.
- The guardian of what, exactly?
(whizzing sound)
- I am the guardian of memories.
Memories of this city.
- Okay, then you must remember
if there's a Great Jewel, right?
- Ah, there is one, yes.
- What, where? Ha, I knew it.
- Calling all gullible bird brains.
(wings fluttering)
- There is an old legend to be told, Zamia.
- It's Samia.
- I know, Zamia.
There is an old legend to be told.
The Great Jewel exists,
and it's your destiny to find it.
- Perfect.
So what's your deal with Zamano?
Free antiques for every fool you convince?
- Ugh.
Things may just be a little different than you imagine.
Olga, do you mind changing the time?
- What?
- Turn the hourglass.
(Olga grunts)
(tense music)
(Olga yells)
- [Zora] This was once a peaceful city.
(pensive music)
Zamano was friendly.
(sword clanks)
But the humans cut Zamano's wings
so that he couldn't escape the garden,
and he turned sour.
He made everyone pay for his pain.
No one is allowed to be free in the city of Zamano's prison.
(pensive music continues)
Then he heard about the legend of the Great Jewel,
and a terrible, cruel hope was planted
in the rotten garden of his broken heart.
Zamano wants the Great Jewel
because he truly believes it will bring him freedom.
(sand rustling)
- So to recap.
Zamano didn't make the Great Jewel up,
he believes in it.
But I don't. So what?
- You should believe in it.
The fate of your flock has always been connected with it.
- Why does Zamano think the Great Jewel can free him?
- Because the big dumb bully got the legend wrong.
The Great Jewel does mean freedom,
but not for Zamano.
For the sparrows.
- I live out there in the real world
where a jewel a day keeps Zamano away.
(whizzing sound)
- Your servitude isn't bearable forever.
Your flock came asking for shelter,
and Zamano took everything you had
and made you the outcasts of his warped dominion.
It's disgraceful.
Stand up for your rights.
- Even if we could,
where would we begin?
- At noon find the sun.
Merge all mirrors to one.
The bird who does best never finds the jewel's nest.
- Uh? - Huh?
- Oh, there. Thank you so much.
Loony, judgmental hermit.
- It's a riddle. Oleg likes riddles.
- What does it mean?
- That we have to solve it together?
- I'll figure it out.
- But what about Kiki?
- Somehow I believe her.
Zora said he'll be all right.
- Thank you, Zora.
If you're still here.
- [Zora] Yes, please go now.
- Sure thing.
- Uh, do we have to jump up all the stairs now?
- [Zora] Just take the drain.
- Huh?
That's a fantastic slide.
(doubtful music)
- Whoo! - Whoa!
(Olga laughs) (Samia laughs)
Whoo! (laughs)
(Basak yells)
(Olga laughs)
(loud thuds)
- Whoo!
(Olga grunts) (Basak yells)
- (sighs) Whew.
(wings fluttering)
- At noon, find the sun.
- Found it!
Now we just wait till noon.
Easy-peasy.
- It can't be about the real sun.
- Whatever. See you tomorrow.
- Wait.
Let's not lose time and dig into this.
- Okay, do it. Good luck.
- Hey, little truth teller.
Does it make sense to start the search now?
- No.
- Okay. Where do we stay?
- You can crash at our place.
It's just a bit thorny.
- Oh, thank you.
Thorny?
(unsettling music)
(distant rumbling)
- Nothing.
- Richard can't go over the mountains.
We must have missed something.
We're running out of time.
- When it's dark, I can hardly see my own beak.
- We're going back.
Fly low and search everything again.
- Dad, what if he went through the mountains?
- You can't go through.
The winds are deadly.
- But what if he tried?
- Then we're too late.
- [Max] We have to at least look.
- No, son.
It'll be dark soon.
We need to get back to the flock.
You have responsibilities, son.
You're becoming the new flock leader.
- But I was a brother first.
Protecting the flock is part of the leader's job too.
I'll find him.
(distant rumbling)
(crickets chirping)
- This is your nest, a thornbush?
Were all the cacti taken?
- It gives us protection from big birds like marabous.
- I don't fear marabous.
They're just the ugly cousins of storks.
You know, actually,
small birds nest near big birds
for protection. - Ugh.
- Come on inside.
I'll show you your bed branches.
- I need a rest.
I have to get Oleg back tomorrow.
- Stay. Don't stay.
I don't care.
Just don't come flapping if the desert foxes find you.
- Hmm.
(dissonant music)
(crickets chirping)
Desert fox.
Ha.
(fox screams)
(Richard yells)
(Richard whimpering)
Hmm?
- This is delicious.
Mmm. (chomping)
You know, without Oleg eating his share,
I will eat a bit for him.
I really need it now.
- Welcome, Richard.
Dinner time. Please, help yourself.
- Ugh. Dinner?
That's trash.
- Of course, what else would we eat?
- Insects, fish, berries.
- This is insects, fish, and berries.
- Ugh!
(doubtful music)
This is a pretty great spot to hide.
Why do you leave it to work for Zamano?
- If we stop delivering,
he'd order the marabous to burn it down.
- Not cool.
- Do you think we're cowards?
- Uh.
- Hmm?
- Ow.
- Fareed.
- Huh?
(Fareed grunting)
- We tried to stand up for our rights.
Really, we did.
We tried fighting Zamano.
- Oh.
(Saheed gibbering)
- I'm sorry. I didn't know.
- To keep my flock safe,
I'll get Zamano all that shiny stuff he demands,
no matter what Zora says.
(upbeat music)
- Huh? - Huh? Oh.
- Ugh.
- Oy.
(pigeons oohing)
(wings fluttering)
(upbeat music continues)
- Sock Puppet Kiki's gone rogue.
- [KK] Yo, Kiki is KK now.
- KK? - Oh!
He's using a new custom avatar.
- Onions, stealth hats, secret meeting.
- We can use this KK
to distract Iron Claw while we strike.
- [KK] I have no doubt, I turn it up.
- We're about to save this city, comrades.
Hmm.
(upbeat music playing in the distance)
(both breathing heavily)
(group snoring)
- Agh.
(Richard grunts)
Agh!
(Richard grunts)
- Hmm?
(stomach growling)
- Oh.
- Shouldn't you two be getting your beauty sleep?
You need lots of it. (laughs)
(Zamano grunts)
(Zamano groans)
(Zamano grunts)
(marabous laughing)
- Best get to sleep.
(Bubo laughs)
- So tired. (laughs) (Biba laughs)
(Zamano grunts angrily)
(wings fluttering)
(stomach growling)
- Oh.
Ew. (sighs)
Mm.
Hmm?
Mmm.
(Richard chomping)
- Hey, trash eater.
(Samia laughs) - Hey, uh, rule follower.
I wasn't eating it.
I was just using it to plan for tomorrow.
You know, the sun at noon will be right above us like this.
So there's definitely another sun to look for here.
(Samia laughs) (Richard laughs)
- You're a structured thinker, aren't you?
- Yeah, I'm from a flock of storks, you know?
I call myself a spork.
That's sparrow plus stork, spork.
(Richard laughs)
Hmm.
I've never really talked to any other sparrows.
My parents died before I hatched.
- Hmm, I'm sorry.
My parents died in the main street.
They were hit by the tourist bus.
- Oh, that's the reason for that rule.
I see.
I'm sorry.
I can be a bit impulsive sometimes.
- Yeah, I know that feeling.
- Anyway, I find it hard to get a minute of sleep in here.
It's less cozy than I've heard.
More noisy. Hmm?
- Sleep in the pavilion if you'd like.
- Poor Oleg, I have to get him out.
- Do you really believe in him?
- Believe? There's nothing to believe.
You'll understand when you meet him.
- Okay, cool. I'll be surprised.
- If I don't find this great jewel,
Olga will never see Oleg again.
- And if I don't find it,
Zora says my gang will never be free.
(wind whistling) (Max shivering)
(tense music)
(moves to gentle music)
- Hmm.
(wings fluttering)
- Hmm?
(Samia grunts)
Hey!
- (laughs) Do sporks never chill?
- Let's start the search.
(pressing music)
- [Zora] At noon, find the sun.
- At noon, find the sun.
(bright tones)
- [Zora] Merge all mirrors to one.
- Merge all mirrors to one.
- [Zora] The bird who does best...
- The bird who does best
- never finds the jewel's nest.
(pressing music continues)
- Any luck?
- Yeah. (laughs)
- Well, great. Let's go there.
- As impulsive as you are,
I can't tell you before noon
because you'll zip off like (whistles).
- You're pretty stubborn, aren't you?
- I'm a sparrow.
- There's more to this riddle
than just finding a sun.
The sooner we get there before noon, the better.
- Oh yeah, storksplainer?
I'll show you, if you can keep up.
- Huh? (Samia laughs)
(intrepid music)
(Samia laughs)
(Pigeon C farts) (Pigeon A screams)
(wings fluttering)
(Samia laughs)
- Whoa!
- Whoa.
(Richard panting)
Huh?
(Richard grunts)
(whooshing sound)
(Richard yells)
- Hmm.
(Samia grunts)
(Richard panting)
(Richard laughs) (Samia laughs)
- Hello. - What are you doing?
- Let's find that jewel.
- It's time to get Oleg back.
- Right, I think I found the first clue.
(wind whistling)
(resolute tones)
(exotic string music)
Don't you think it looks like a sun?
(wind whooshing)
(wings fluttering)
- What now?
- Merge all mirrors to one.
Can you spot any mirrors?
- I've got one.
- And here's another one.
- And here's one more.
Let's get them out of the wall.
- I'm trying to, but no luck.
- So how can we merge them without moving them?
- Ugh. Oh, this is pointless.
I'm really starting to hate mirrors.
(pensive music)
Oh, will I ever get you back Oleg?
(gasps) Wait.
Everyone go to a mirror.
(earnest music)
I can see you both.
Merge can therefore mean...
- That the faces of the mirrors match at some point.
- Right.
But what does it have to do with the sun?
- The light beam.
We have to reflect the sun to one of the mirrors.
- And then we have to get them in line.
- And then the sunlight points to the Great Jewel.
- And then we actually would need Kiki.
He's the mirror expert.
- Zora did say he'd be back in time,
but what time?
-[Kiki] KK is always on time when I drop my rhymes.
Bird-dazzling.

We gotta detour the beam, team.

- No.

- That battle was real.
No fake news. Respect, KK.
The jewel is yours.
(resolute music)
- I got it.
- What are you doing?
Let me have it.
- Yeah! All right!
(gong resounds)
(Samia grunts)
- No, mine.
- I'll take it.
- No, I wanna deliver it.
- Who said we're delivering it?
- What? Give it to me!
- Stop it, you silly rivals.
- It's supposed to free my flock!
(chink sound)
(Basak gasps) (Samia gasps)
(zipping sound)
(whooshing sound)
(Samia panting)
(tense music)
No.
Basak!
- (gasps) Oh no!
- Basak!
(Samia breathing heavily)
(Samia gasps)
How could I be so irresponsible?
We never use the main street.
(pensive music)
- I didn't know where.
(Samia sobbing)
- Olga, what can we do?
- I don't know.
I really don't know.
- Uh...
(wind whistling)
(disconsolate music)
(footsteps thudding)
(fan whirring) (Basak groans)
(engine rumbling)
(engine revving)
(disconsolate music continues)
(group sobbing)
- We can't go on like this.
I don't wanna lose another friend.
Oleg, Basak.
This adventure is too dangerous.
What if you're the next one? (sobbing)
- Not afraid of that. That's life.
But we can get Oleg back when we solve the riddle.
I'm sure. He isn't lost at all.
- How can you be sure?
The jewel- - wasn't the Great Jewel.
True ice doesn't break.
We have no choice but to bring the real bling.
- We've gotta find it.
We must solve the riddle.
Where is Samia?
(Richard sighs)
(wings fluttering)
- (gasps) The migration is in two days.
- I know. Don't despair.
We can do this.
Again, the one who does best...
- They are late!
How dare they keep me waiting.
The nerve, the gall,
the additional nerve.
Teach them respect.
Be clever about their new friends.
Try to hit them where it hurts.
Here, for your troubles,
and against your hideous ugliness.
- Thank you, mighty Zamano.
(marabous cackling)
(wings fluttering)
(pensive music)
- (sighs) It's over. We lost.
We'll never find the Great Jewel.
We'll never be free.
Zamano will hunt us down,
and we can't go over the desert.
We're all dead.
- You could.
You're the best flyer I know.
- Even if...
(Samia sighs)
Fareed couldn't make the trip,
and there's no leaving anyone behind, never.
I didn't make it.
It was my responsibility to protect us.
- (sighs) I, I was selfish.
I just thought about my own goals.
- I guess I did too.
- I know we can't bring Basak back.
We can still beat Zamano.
And I wanna help you.
- And I wanna help you get Oleg back.
(pensive music continues)
- Hmm.
(beak clattering)
(Richard clattering)
Hmm?
Richard!
- [Richard] Max!
(beak clattering)
(Samia laughs)
- What in the whole sky was that, beak spasm?
- That was my flock clatter.
- Hey, bro!
- Hey, Slow!
- No way! You grew up with storks.
- (laughs) I told you.
- Yep, come on, we've gotta wing it back, little bro.
- Max, this is Samia.
Samia, this is Max.
- Uh, hi.
(Samia laughs)
I'm so happy that I found you, brother.
You really caused some chaos in the lake.
We almost took off
without seeing you. - It's his brother.
- For our big journey,
which is gonna be a day earlier.
- I'm sorry.
What? Wait, it's tomorrow?
I can't come with you.
- You, you, you can and you have to.
It's the last day before the winds change.
So stork up and do the right thing.
- Staying is the right thing.
I'm needed here.
(pensive music)
- Is it because of her?
- (sighs) It's more complicated than that.
- Oh, it's complicated.
Why didn't you say so?
- I'll just fly back home
and tell everybody that it's complicated!
(Max laughs angrily)
I flew across the desert to save you, Richard.
- I guess you wasted the trip.
- Then. Goodbye, Richard.
- Goodbye, Max.
(pensive music continues)
(wings fluttering)
- You really wanna help us.
- Mm-hmm.
- Then we are gonna defeat Zamano.
(wind whistling)
(Max grunts)
(Max sighs deeply)
(wings fluttering)
- Hey, cousin.
- If you're cousins to us,
then that means we're cousins to you.
That's why they call it cousins.
- We're the ugly ones though.
- Come on, you're not ugly.
You're marabous, cousins of the storks.
Nice to meet you. (Biba laughs)
- Nice to meet you.
You're a handsome young stork.
I bet you're a flock leader.
(Bubo laughs)
- I'm just a trainee.
- Where will you rest tonight?
- Nighttime's coming soon.
- You won't make it across the desert before the sun sets.
- It's very, very cold out there and dark.
Because it's nighttime, which is coming soon.
- I have no choice, do I?
- We would love to welcome you
as our guest tonight.
- Because it's nighttime.
- He gets it, he gets it.
(wings fluttering)
- I would love to leave the thornbush one day.
It's a terrible place to live.
- Maybe you could live on a porcupine.
(Samia laughs)
(Richard laughs)
- Please don't mess this up.
- I won't.
- You're part of the gang now.
(Samia grunts) (Richard yells)
- Hey!
(Samia laughs)
- [Olga] It's about you!
- We solved the riddle.
The one who does best never finds the nest.
That's about your rivalry.
- You're the problem.
You stood in your way.
- Yes. - And each other's way.
- We know.
- Stood in the way. (gasps)
The phony jewel was standing in the way of another mirror.
I've seen myself. Oh, that.
- Let's go back.
(urgent music)
(Samia panting)
- We're too late.
The light is gone.
- Oh, what would Oleg do?
Of course!
Kiki, position that mirror.
(urgent music continues)
A bit to the left, Kiki.
The other left.
- Oh.
(warbling sounds)
(urgent music continues)
- (gasps) Oh!
(Olga yells)
- [Kiki] Olga!
Olga!
(Bubo snoring)
- I know it's been rough out there,
so please consider this your home.
A place where you can relax.
- That's nice. (Zamano laughs)
- Oh, how rude of me.
Of course, our guest should have a welcome gift.
Biba, everyone can use a little shine.
(tense tones)
- What was it, Olga?
(Olga panting)
- It's Oleg. He's the jewel.
- That doesn't make sense.
- The jewel must be in the pavilion.
- What? Zamano is a fibber.
He already has the real bling.
- It's not Zamano.
It's the marabous.
They're obsessed with jewelry.
Maybe they hid it in their nest.
- It's our last chance.
- Then, it's battle time.
- Hold on, we can't show up without any shiny stuff.
- We'll swing by my homie Mad Dog first.
And then, it's battle time.
(Mad-Dog-Magpie grunts)
- [Mad-Dog-Magpie] Hit it! (upbeat music)
(wings fluttering)
- We need to get the marabous out of their nest.
- So let's make Zamano angry.
- We need a distraction.
Let's give them some hazzle to make them flabber-gazzle.
You got me, OLG?
- Mm-hmm. (laughs)
(upbeat music continues)
- Mm.
Mm-hmm.
Huh?
You're late.
Where is the Great Jewel?
- KK's in the house,
bringing up the riddle from Old Zora in the tower.
She did not. Oh yes, she diddle.
- Diddle? What?
Who?
- All right! Yeah!
(upbeat music)
(jewels clinking)
- Ooh!
- Great Zamano, please get snuggy like a buggy in a ruggy.
And enjoy MC KK's ceremony, my birdle.
Haha!
Ah, you my birdle.

- Ugly Bous!
- [Both] Oh!
- Okay, ready?
- Let's go.
(upbeat music playing in the distance)
I think you're the specialist for big nests.
- Hmm?
(wings fluttering)
(Richard grunts)
(nest rumbling)
(reflective music)
- How do we know which one is the right one?
- Ah, let's see.
Shiny bracelet.
Shiny ring. Shiny necklace.
Not shiny at all clay thing in the shape of a jewel.
Shiny clothespin,
shiny toilet paper holder.
Shiny...
- I remember this.
I was a chick when I saw it.
Zora said Zamano took everything we had
when my flock arrived to the city.
We probably brought it with us.
This could be it,
but it's not a real jewel.
So maybe it's more about the meaning of it.
- But how can it free your flock?
- I don't know and because of that,
we have to use it to get Oleg back.
- But I don't think Zamano would accept it.
- [Zamano] Ugly Bous, burn that lousy piece of bush down.
(Samia gasps) - Let's figure this out later.
Go to the thornbush.
I'll try to stop the marabous.
(Richard grunts)
(suspenseful music)
What?
No, stop!
(Richard panting)
(marabous cackling)
(Richard yells)
(dissonant tones)
Max?
(Samia panting)
- Gang, get out of here!
We have to leave! Go, go, go!
- What?
(Biba cackling)
(marabous cackling)
(explosions booming)
(suspenseful music continues)
- Olga, no! Think about Oleg.
(Max grunting)
- Ah, ah, ah.
(Zamano laughs) (Max groans)
- Take it. Here's the Great Jewel.
Now let my brother go!
- Ugh, you call that a Great Jewel?
It's a lousy piece of dirt, isn't it?
- This is the Great Jewel you're searching for.
Samia is risking the freedom of her flock
by allowing me to give it to you.
- Hmm.
- But here it is.
Please, let Max and Oleg go now.
(Zamano cackling)
- This stupid thing again.
Oh no, don't take it away from us.
(Zamano laughs)
This is not the Great Jewel.
How could this thing ever free me?
(Zamano grunts)
(fire rumbling)
- Huh?
What have you done?
- You didn't deliver it, did you?
- No, we didn't.
But we think we have found the Great Jewel.
I'll tell you about it later, but first we have to fight.
- Look at us, Samia,
we can't fight anymore.
- One last time.
We have to help save Oleg.
- Why should we help those strangers?
They're the reason for this mess.
- This isn't about us versus them.
This is about the future for all of us.
(dramatic music)
(Fareed grunting)
(marabous grunting)
(marabous groaning)
- Get them! Get the jewels!
(Biba yells)
- Trickery. (moans)
Our jewels, our beautiful jewels.
- We're naked!
- Agh, we're going
to get you, little thieves.
- Naked or not, here we go.
(Bubo yells)
- Bubo, be careful.
Think about your weak neck.
- I feel so light.
- Oh! (laughs)
This is like we're free.
Where have you been hiding those strong wings, Bubo Bom.
- Who was the reason for all this again?
(tense music)
- One step closer, you crazy owl,
and your little sparrow friend is finished.
- No! Oleg!
(pieces clinking)
- Oh, Olga, what have you done?
- Is, is Oleg...?
- Mm-hmm.
(Olga groans)
(Zamano cackles)
- No, please.
I didn't mean it. - He is gone forever!
- No! Please, no!
- You finished him!
- No!
(Kiki gasps)
- [Samia] Let him go!
- Huh?
(Richard yells)
Never have I ever been so disappointed in someone, Samia.
Where is my jewel?
- [Richard] No, Samia!
(Samia grunting)
(Zamano whimpering)
(both grunting)
- It's actually happening.
The sparrows have engaged Iron Claw.
We're saving the world!
- Project Sock Puppet was a stroke of genius.
(Zamano moans)
(Kiki grunting)
(Richard grunting)
(Kiki gasps)
(Kiki groans)
- Sock Puppet KK is KO'd. Oh.
- I'm good. You got this.
(tense music)
- Ow! Agh!
(Samia yells)
(Zamano yells)
(Zamano grunts aggressively)
(Richard panting)
(Richard gasps)
(Zamano laughs)
(Max grunting)
(Richard laughs)
(group laughs)
- Haaa!
- Huh? (grunting)
(Zamano grunting)
(Zamano groaning)
- We got weaponized bling incoming.
- Deploy exotic cocktail defense.
(Pigeon C farts) (all scream)
(tense music continues)
(Zamano groans)
(Zamano whimpers)
- Huh?
Ugly Bous.
Ugly Bous!
(Zamano groans)
You fools let the sparrows steal your jewelry?
You're ugly!
Kill everybody here!
Kill the stork!
- Hmm. Agh!
- Agh!
- Huh?
(villains cackling)
(Samia gasps)
(Zamano cackling) What?
(Max laughs)
- Oh!
(Max grunting)
(Max chattering)
(Zamano screams) - Grrr!
- Oh!
(Max roaring)
- The iron has been declawed.
- [All] Victory!
- Huh?
Oh!
(Kiki laughs)
(doubtful music)
- Hmm?
Hmm?
(Zamano grunts)
(Zamano sighs)
(Zamano laughs)
(resolute music)
Hi-ya!
- Aah!
(Zamano screams)
(Max chattering)
- (sighs) Feathers of steel.
(Max laughs)
(Max grunting)
Hmm?
- I'm afraid Olga won't wake up
if we don't get Oleg back.
- Hmm.
If Oleg was in the mirror,
maybe fixing it will help bring him back.
- Let's put the slivers together.
- Mm-hmm.
(peppy music)
- Mm-hmm. - Mm-hmm.
- [Samia] Over here.
A little more to the right.
- Start with the corners, yo.
(Saheed gibbering)
- Ah!
(peppy music continues)
- [Richard] Let's call out for Oleg.
- [Crowd] Oleg! Oleg!
(Samia laughs)
- Olga, is everything okay?
- Oleg is behind my back.
Come on, say hello.
(Kiki laughs)
(Olga laughs)
(group laughs)
(Max laughs)
- So cool to finally meet you, Oleg.
(marabous laugh)
(group laughs)
- Hey guys, why is Zamano playing tag
with the desert foxes?
- Huh?
(both laugh)
- So everyone here together again.
- Not everyone.
- But speaking of together again,
can't we just put the pieces
of the Great Jewel together too?
- That's it.
The clay jewel isn't the Great Jewel at all.
It's the last hint for the search.
I, I remember this clay.
I think your parents brought it here from a place I know.
Are you up for a little adventure?
(resolute music)
- I can get you through the desert.
- Thanks, but been there, done that.
We'll get there sparrow style.
- Sounds good.
Ready, ugly...?
Marabous?
- Thank you for taking us with you.
- And we will do nothing stupid,
never again. (laughs)
(engine rumbling)
- Hey. - Hmm?
- You can do it.
(wings fluttering)
Race you there?
- You got no chance, brother.
- Max, my team has two leaders.
We'll max you out.
(crowd panting)
- Whoa, whoa!
(Kiki laughs)
(resolute music)
- I think we've earned a bit of a break.
- Oh, yeah!
(calm music)
- [Basak] Ahchoo!
- [All] Huh?
- Hmm?
Oleg says it's coming from this AC compartment.
(fan whirring)
(cover clanks)
(calm music continues)
- Basak!
- Yeah! Hi, sparrow gang!
- [Crowd] Basak! Basak!
- Basak. - Basak.
- [Crowd] Aw!
(Zamano screams)
- Stop trolling me!
- Subscribing him to all known spyware.
(pigeons scream)
(Zamano screams)
- Oh.
Ooh!
Tailfeather enlargement, dot, like?
- [Pigeons] Like!
(wind whistling)
- It's almost time to leave.
I cannot even dare to hope Stork Patrol finds them all.
- Hang on.
(Max laughing) Incoming.
- Whoo-hoo! Haha!
- And here come the little ones.
- [Richard] Mom! Dad!
Whoo! (laughs)
- What a relief.
- Don't be too harsh on them.
- Tight race, bro.
- Boys, you've both been irresponsible and immature.
- Hmm? - And it's impossible
for me to say how happy I am you're home safe.
- You're right, Dad.
Sorry I ran off like that.
But at least it led to something good.
- Dad, Richard saved my life.
(both laugh)
- And you saved mine.
Now Mom, Dad, meet our new friends,
Samia and her sparrow gang.
- [Sparrows] Hi, hey.
(bright music)
- The Great Jewel is the Great Lake.
- I can't believe the jewel was actually a place.
(wind whooshing)
- My dad said there was a bad drought here many years ago.
Your parents probably had to leave,
but they must have made this clay jewel
to always remember the lake.
- Not bad thinking for an impulsive storksplainer.
Thank you, Richard.
(Richard laughs) (Samia laughs)
(bright music continues)
- [Bubo] You are missing some twigs over here.
(Bubo sighs) No, there.
- Let me know if you need help with the small twigs.
(Richard laughs)
(bright music continues)
(Richard laughs)
Hey, flock leader trainee.
Congratulations.
I don't think I ever told you that.
- Oh, trust me. You didn't.
But thank you.
- And thank you for following me.
And Kiki and Olga, I would be lost
in the middle of nowhere if I hadn't had you.
And Samia, with all your friends,
we've been a great team.
Actually, we are a great team,
and that's why I've decided
to stay at the Great Lake with Samia.
There's a lot to do.
We wanna help the newcomers.
I hope that's okay with you.
- Richard, I'm so proud of you.
You've shown great responsibility.
And Samia, thank you for supporting our flock.
You did well together.
- Likewise.
Your son is pretty special,
even if he is ridiculously small for a stork.
- Spork.
(crowd laughs)
- We'll miss you,
but we'll think of you every day
until we see you next autumn.
- My new rap-stravaganza will be waiting for you then.
- So you're staying too?
- Of course.
We stay with our team. Right, Oleg?
We're one heart, one soul.
(beaks clattering)
(flock cheering) (Basak clattering)
(Basak laughs)
(beak clattering)
(Samia laughs)
(tender music)
- Goodbye, bro.
- Goodbye, Slow.
- Goodbye, Samia.
Keep an eye on the hothead.
- Mm-hmm.
- Bye, Oleg, Olga, and Kiki.
I'll miss you all.
(Kiki sobbing)
(flock cheering)
(bright music)
- A bit more to the right,
flock leader trainee. Ooh!
(Samia and Richard laugh)
