04x03 - Origin of Donnie Mini-Series-Part 3

[bunniefuu]

DARWIN: Donnie's right at home in the rain forest.

Don't say that, Dar. He is part of our family.

We must be catching up.

Whoa!

I can tell you where he's going.

He's returning home, to his family.

Hisfamily?

They're inviting us to be guests at their tribal dinner.

Wearetheir tribal dinner.

Is it possible

Donnie doesn't want to be found?

This is me-- Eliza Thornberry

part of your average family.

I got a dad, a mom...

and a sister.

There is Donnie-- we found him.

And Darwin-- he found us.

Oh, yeah, about our house-- it moves

'cause we travel all over the world.

You see, my dad hosts his nature show

and my mom sh**t it.

Okay, so we're not that average.

And between you and me, something amazing happened.

And now I can talk to animals.

It's really cool...

but totally secret.

And you know what?

Life's never been the same.

[animals chattering]

[snoring]

Oh, oh, Donnie!

Oh, Donnie.

[fire roaring]

[chanting]

[tribal drumming plays]

Debbie, these people were nice enough

to invite us to dinner and to spend the night.

You can at least pay attention.

Grandma, how many times do I have to tell you?

Wearen'tspending the night, because wearethe dinner.

Such a kidder. Just like your mother was at your age.

[man chanting solo]

I think that's our cue.

Ha-ha! Ah!

Come on, honey.

[laughs]

Oh!

[Grandma laughs]

[mumbles]

[laughs]

[gasping shriek]

Look at that woman's headdress.

I bet I could whip up one of those.

Oh, those'll do perfectly.

Grandma! Where are you going?

[speaking foreign language]

[mumbling]: ... Grandma!

[chanting continues]

[sniffing]

Eh?

[sniffing]

Ah-ah-uh!

[sniffing]

Ah! Ah!

[fire roaring]

[yells]

[shrieking]

[whimpering]

[grunting]

[shrieking]

[cackling]

[chattering]

[shrieking]

[sighs]

[sighs]

[rustling]

[gasping]: Donnie?

Oh, Darwin, Darwin, wake up.

I just had the worstdream.

I dreamt Donnie was right next to me

and, and then he was gone.

I had a bad dream, too. I dreamt you woke me up.

Darwin, we have to find him.

I don't care if Donnie's parentsareout there.

He belongs withus.

[sighing]

Oh, Lugan, I'm sorry we woke you.

Youdidn't.

Some bad smell did.

[sniffing]

Wait.

Fire!

Come on, we have to put this out before it spreads.

We?It's a fire.

I want my mama.

Don't worry.

We'll find her soon.

And Donnie, too.

[snoring]

NIGEL: Dearest? Lovely?

I'm afraid you're snoring again.

[gasping and snorting]

Oh, Iwas?

Oh, I'm sorry, Nigel.

[yawning]: I'll try to be more quiet.

[chattering]

Although you're not exactly playing

a "Moonlight Sonata" there, yourself.

Marianne, that wasn't me.

I believe that was a male orangutan.

[chattering]

If I'm not mistaken

he's sounding his call to claim his territory

or perhaps calling to a female friend

or he could be warning other males to stay away.

Nigel, whatever he's doing

this is our chance to find and film him.

Mari--

Ooh!Ow!

Oh, don't worry, Nigel. Oh, I'll get it.

[groans]

[shrieks]

Cockroaches!

Cockroaches!

Oh, we were sleeping on those?

Such charming creatures.

They do amarvelousjob of cleaning the cave floor--

eating the occasional cricket carcass

as well as quite a bit of cavern creature guano.

Ooh, ooh,guano?

Poop, dearest.

I know what it is. Come on, Nigel.

I mean, we've got an orangutan to find.

Nigel, do you remember how we came in?

Oh, dear.Oh, dear.

[grunting and panting]

Eliza, you know we can't stop this.

You're right.

Let's head to the river.

He'll be safer there.

It should be... this way!

Do you think Mama will be there?

Maybe... and maybe Donnie will be there, too.

Mama!

[chanting]

Ah, ah...

[giggling]

Excuse me, I-I just need to get back in, I...

[giggles]: Uh...

Oh, dear!

De-Debbie? Debbie?

Grandma!

[imitates chanting]

I'm withher.

[speaks foreign language]

Ooh, I love charades.

Let's see, uh, uh...

"pterodactyl?"

Oh, Grandma, this is no time for games.

Besides, I think he means a ghost.

"A... ghost!"

Uh, "bad?"

"You."

I think they're going to cookyoufirst.

No, they're not.

They're going to cookmefirst?

No, silly me.

This must be akattang.

I remember now.

Akattangis a ritual to get rid of evil spirits.

I read about it with my book club.

They're not letting me return, because they think

I'll bring evil spirits back to the party.

Oh, you mean, this whole time

I've been trying to escape from a dance party?

[laughs]

[tribal drumming plays]

Oh, my goodness!

[shouts]

Debbie, there's a fire.

[gasping]

[speaks foreign language]

[animals chattering]

What is wrong with these animals?

They're running in circles.

They're scared.

Don't worry. You'll be all right.

Just go this way, to the river.

Surelyweknow better than you.

Not with the smoke.

I checked my compass. Trust me, it's this way.

Have any of you seen a little boy?

A human urchin? Rows of teeth? Unruly hair?

Yes, that's him.

[snorts]: That one is yours?

That wretched boy started this fire.

What? Donnie started this?

She's with the horrible human who started this fire.

Donnie couldn't have started the fire.

He was right by the first bush on fire. I saw him.

Donnie would never do anything like that.

You've heard what all the animals have been saying--

the boy's been pure trouble.

She's got a point.

That's true.

Perhaps it is true.

Well, I know he can pull pranks, but starting a fire?

No way. Darwin, tell them.

All right. While the boy

may have pretended a stick was a snake

and had us chased by a rhino and taunted that crocodile

he's really not a bad...

Thanks for your help.

Look, Donnie would never start a fire.

I warn you. It's a trick.

She's not bringing you to the river

she's trying to capture you.

[all clamoring]

Do you know who you're talking to?

Say what you want about Donnie

but this girl wouldn't hurt a flea.

Please, listen to me.

What should we do?

Don't follow her.

Follow me, come this way, come on.

[all clamoring]

You have to go to the river before the fire...

[animals running]

[both gasping]

MARIANNE: I think the orangutan call came from

Over there. over there.

BOTH: Oh...

Oh, I hope these batteries hold out.

If we miss filming that orangutan and lose our jobs...

Buck up, dearest.

I've got the answer to our problems right...

Oh, drat. Seems I forgot to pack my global positioning...

[screams]

There's something

in my hair.

Ooh! Ooh-ooh! Is it a bat? A bug?

It's a bird.

It's a lovely swiftlet, Marianne.

Look, there are hundreds of them.

You know, they make their nests in the cave walls

out of their own spit.

Nigel, this one's making a nest in my hair.

This is perfect, Marianne.

They're flyingintothe cave.

Terrific. Just get this thing off me.

So, we simply follow where they're flying from

to get out of the cave.

[monkey sounds]

[whistles]

Stop!

What do you think you're doing?

Move! You're blocking our path to the river.

But the river is that way.

Hey, this here's our migration path.

We've taken it for years.

We know where we're going.

No, no, no, no, no, no. The smoke's confused you.

If you go that way, you'll be in the fire.

She's a liar!

She's with the fire-starter.

Forget the girl! Follow the bearded pigs.

The cat makes sense.

[all clamoring]

This is your last chance.

Move!

Eliza, do as he says.

No, I can't let you and the other animals get hurt.

[snorting]

Eliza! Thank goodness

you're all right.Oh, Baru.

You're got to get to the river. What's going on?

Her hairy teethy boy started the fire.

And now she's trying to keep us from reaching the river.

But not for long.

Hold on, hogs.

Now, look, the hairy teethy boy

doesn't get my vote

for the best rain forest guest, either

but he didn't start this fire.

A bolt of lightning did.

I saw it myself.

I knew it.

[sighs in relief]

Now will you follow me to the river?

[animals clamoring]

[snorting]

We'll trust you... for now.

[relieved sighs]

Thanks, Baduk.

Come on, everybody, this way.

We have to hurry.

We must gather the rest of our family.

We'll join you soon.

If you see Donnie...

I'll send him your way.

[all talking]

Oh, I hope Mom and Dad and nature girl

aren't caught in the fire.

Hey, let's ask our hosts if they've seen them.

But they don't speak English, remember?

But I bet they speak Grandma.

Have you seen...?

Oh, wait-- that's my bowling league.

Just in case, I think I'll try

radioing Mom and Dad again.

Mom? Dad? Come in. Over.

Here we go.

This is my other granddaughter.

Have you seen her?

How about my daughter and her husband?

Still no answer from Mom and Dad.

Oh...

You've seen Donald?

[rhythmic grunting]

You saw Donnie when he was a baby?

[rhythmic grunting]

[making baby noises]

He's saying he saw Donnie's parents.

Oh, my goodness, they're alive?

[single grunt]

[rhythmic grunting]

Okay, I give up.

They live in another village in the rain forest.

Then that means...

Donald has a home and a family?

[jabbering]

[squeals in delight]

[jabbering]

[squawking]

Excellent navigation, Marianne.

[monkey sounds]

Nigel, is that...?

Our orangutan.

Quick! Help me get the camera.

I've lost him.

Try over there.

I believe I saw something moving.

[monkey sounds]

[men yelling]

Oh, no! Poachers!

Oh, and the camera's jammed again.

NIGEL: You! Get away from that orangutan!

And you'll keep running if you know what's good for you!

Nigel, be careful.

Those men could be dangerous.

[grunting and gasping]

Oh... oh, Nigel, are you all right?

Yes, yes, yes.

Goodness, this must be their campsite.

[monkey sounds]

A radio.

Nigel, we can finally check on the girls

and they can alert the authorities.

Debbie, Eliza, come in. Over.

DEBBIE: Mom? Mom, is that you?

Are you all right?

Yes, dear, we're okay... relatively.

Did your grandmother arrive?

Grandma Sophie's fine

and we're going to go look for Eliza, Donnie and Darwin.

Uh, look for them? You mean they're lost?

And we have to find Donnie's real parents, too

right after we help the village put out the fire, and...

[static]

Debbie? Debbie?

Oh, I can't get her back.

Did she say, "Donnie's real parents"?

I think so, and she also said... "Fire."

Nigel...

[coughing]

We've gone very far.

Perhaps it is not the smoke that has tricked us.

I'm beginning to think you're double-crossing us again!

No, I'm not!

I promise. The river should be right...

here!

She was right! It's here.

[all talking]

[excited chatter]

No Mama.

Poor Donnie.

[clears throat]

Sorry, girl.

I regret I didn't believe you.

Several persons we've met

have not treated us animals too well.

One can't be too careful.

Uh, I got an apology to make, too

for not telling you I saw the boy.

You saw Donnie?

Where?

Back on our migration path.

He was heading somewhere with two orangutans.

One had a scar.

Anyway, he was safe.

See, Dar?

Donnie's just playing

some kind of game with the orangutans.

But what if it isn't a game?

What if this is his new life, Eliza?

Although why anyone would choose the rain forest

over the comfort of the commvee is beyond me.

Donnie might...

if he finds his parents.

Oh, then we'd have to give him up, Dar.

Oh, I can't even think about it.

Mama?

[sobbing]: Mama...

Oh, don't worry, Lugan.

It's okay.

Mm, but I thought that she'd be here.

Maybe you can call to her and so that she can come here

if you made the sound that my dad made?

Your father?

My mama said

he'd make a really loud call.

It was really low.

Eliza, I know you have a gift for animal languages

but do you really think

you can sound like a grown-up male orangutan?

I have to try, Darwin.

[low-pitched, fluttering howl]

My grandmother's intuition says our best chance of finding Eliza

is to head toward that village

where Donald's parents lived.

[natives speaking quietly]

Uh-uh.

One last guess:

the Hokey Pokey?

[chuckling]

I was going with "ladder"... which makes about as much sense.

I mean, what would a ladder be doing in the rain forest?

[jabbering]

[laughing]

[kisses, laughs]

[jabbering continues]

[howling]

[coughing]

Eliza, if Lugan's mother had heard you

she would have come here by now.

I know, but if something has happened to her mother

what will she do?

What about that place

where they take good care of orphan orangutans?

The Rehabilitation Center?

Oh, they do, but...

it's not the same as having a mother.

[fluttering howls]

[grunts softly]

I heard you calling.

A human! I thought you were an orangutan who could help me.

Mama?

Lugan!

Mama!

Oh...

Don't you love happy endings?

Oh. I'msoglad I found you.

It's because of Eliza, Mama.

She took such good care of me.

Thank you, Eliza, for keeping her safe

and returning her to me.

I'm just glad you still have each other.

Oh, Mama, Eliza's lost someone, too.

A little jungle boy.

Oh, I'm sorry.

He used to live here...

and I guess he wants to live here again.

Before Lugan was born

I remember seeing a baby boy in the rain forest.

He had a very fuzzy head

and many teeth for a little human.

Well, Donnie haslots of hair and teeth!

Did he... have parents?

Yes, two mates.

You remind me of them.

They helped orangutans, too.

Do you know where they are?

The last time I saw them

they lived in a village not far away, near the pig path.

Donnieisgoing home!

Oh, Eliza...

I guess when we find Donnie

we may have to return him to his mother, too.

And if we have to, we will.

Donnie and his family deserve that.

We have to go.

When you reach the biggest strangler fig tree in the forest

you are close.

Thank you, Eliza.

[panting heavily]

Don't worry, Eliza!

We'll find him!

Darwin, look!

[panting]

I haven't seen a ladder

or anyone doing the Hokey Pokey.

Maybe that man meant some kind of landmark.

How could a ladder be a landmark?

I'm not sure...

unless it's not really a ladder.

Look!

Oh, I don't see Donnie or the village.

Darwin, it's my parents!

Mom! Dad!

Eliza?

Debbie?

Eliza! Debbie!

Is that you?!

Marianne!

[all talking excitedly]

Mom! Dad!

Donnie ran away... 'cause I yelled at him

and I've been trying to find him

and-and this woman in the rain forest told me

that he was going home.

To his real family.

But if he does have a real family

that means we may have to... give him up.

If we have to cross that bridge, we'll do it together

but first, let's find our Donnie together.

[wild laughter in distance]

Donnie?

[jabbering]

Donnie?!

Oh?!

Donnie!

Eliza, no! Look out!

Let me go!

Donnie!

[sobbing]: Donnie!

[crying]

NIGEL: Poop, dearest.
