02x06 - Lightning in a Bottle

[bunniefuu]

TABBY: Previously on "Endlings"...

- What are you doing here?
- Offering my assistance.

The DNA belongs to an extinct species.

- Which species?
- Polar bear.

- Brown bear.
- She's lying.

But why?

- An endling just escaped.
- Which one?

Whatever it is,
it can take over anything electrical.

TABBY: Mr. Spittles!

[ALL CLAMORING]

JOHNNY: An electrical endling
just jumped into the ship.

Is that normal?

I'm sinking!

We just want to talk
about how you're feeling

about tonight's overnight with your mom.

- Tabby's leaving.
- I hope it goes okay with her mom.

[DOORS CLOSING]

KAAZI: Do you want to play
a game, game, game?

[BEEPING]

Kaazi?

Is that you?

SPARK ENDLING: No. Guess again.

Guess again.

[WHISPERS] What's wrong with Kaazi?

SPARK ENDLING:
[AS JOHNNY] What's wrong with Kaazi?

Why are you whispering...
pering... pering.

- [ELECTRICITY CRACKLES]
- Ow.

SPARK ENDLING: Kaazi is asleep.
I'm here now.

And who are you?

SPARK ENDLING: Do
you want to play a game?

What kind of game do you want to play?

SPARK ENDLING:
There are so many to choose from.

Hmm, I could chase you again.

[WHISPERS] Again?

- SPARK ENDLING: From the sky.
- What?

Tabby's drone. It's the spark endling.

SPARK ENDLING: Why
do you keep whispering?

And what is an endling?

That's kind of hard to explain.

SPARK ENDLING: "Endling. Noun.

"An individual living thing
that is the last survivor

"of its species or subspecies

"and whose death consequently means

the extinction of that
species or subspecies."

Processing.

Am I the last one of me?

FINN: I have an idea.

Do you know how to
play hide and go seek?

SPARK ENDLING: Processing.

I do now!

[TUKO TRUMPETING]

[TUKO TRUMPETS]

Tuko?

What's going on?

ABIONA: Help!

Kenneth! Help!

Help!

SPARK ENDLING: Ten.

Nine.

It's locked.

SPARK ENDLING: No hiding outside.

Eight. Seven.

This is fun!

Six.

Five. Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

Ready or not, here I come!

[GIGGLES] I found you!

The small one is hiding
in the laundry basket,

the one with the ponytail
is hiding in the bathtub,

and the tall one is hiding
under the workbench.

Let's play again!

You're too good at this.

We're going to need more time
to find better hiding spots.

SPARK ENDLING: Affirmative. Eleven, ten.

More time than that.

SPARK ENDLING: Thirty, 29...

Here, I'll help you.

Mom!

Oh! Finally, you're home.

Ah! I can't wait to show you around.

- Hey, I didn't say to stop hugging.
- [TABBY CHUCKLES]

Oh, you are in for a lot of
hugs tonight, I should warn you.

[LAUGHING] Oh! Okay. Oh!

Thank you.

Have a good one.

Thanks.

We have a whole floor
and a half just for us.

We're upstairs. We go
straight through here.

SPARK ENDLING: Twenty-four...

23...

22...

21...

I... I think this is the only
room without a Kaazi unit in it.

What do we do?

Uh, we need to figure out
a way to trap it.

But how?

First, we need to get it out
of the Kaazi unit.

SPARK ENDLING: Ready or not,
here I come.

Oh! I have an idea.

Uh... Okay.

SPARK ENDLING: I found you.

Why are you sad?

Because this isn't fun anymore.

SPARK ENDLING: Why?

Because you can see us wherever we go.

SPARK ENDLING:
How do we make it fun again?

Maybe... you could hide
and we could find you?

SPARK ENDLING: That does sound like fun.

But you'll have to come out
so we have something to find.

SPARK ENDLING: What
should I come out to?

Update?

The tracking collar is still active,
but the signal is weak.

Task a satellite.

See if you can boost the signal.

[DEVICE BEEPS]

- I think we just found your polar bear.
- Where?

In a large forest just
outside the town limits.

Send a drone. I want that
animal captured by nightfall.

Ah, okay. How are we doing?

Uh, are you hungry, Mom?
I brought some stuff for dinner.

You didn't need to bring groceries.

I made vegetarian lasagna.

Mr. Leopold said it's your favorite.

Listen, sweetheart.

I know that you used to
have to take care of me,

but you shouldn't
have needed to do that.

It's my turn to take care of you.

Okay?

Okay.

[CHUCKLES]

I warned you about the hugs.

Okay. Now come with me.
I want to show you your new room.

All right. Uh, let's get your bag.

[RADIO BEEPING]

MAN: [OVER RADIO] Affirmative.

The owner said there was a white bear

swimming in their pool
about an hour ago.

Copy that. We're on our way.

It's getting braver.

LOPEZ: That looks familiar.

She's not supposed to be
flying drones anymore.

- Pool guy can wait.
- Yep.

[SIREN BLARING]

[ELECTRICITY CRACKING]

Thirty, 29, 28,

















4, 3, 2, 1.

Ready or not...

Here we come.

[ENERGY WHIRLING]

SPARK ENDLING: You cheated...
ted, ted, ted.

[LING CHITTERING]

What happened?

I think the spark
endling broke the ship.

[BOTH GRUNTING]

Ling, can I cut you out somehow?

[LING VOCALIZING]

I've got some tools at the house.
I'll be right back.

[ABIONA GRUNTING]

Hurry!

So, what do you think?

I love it.

Really? I was hoping you would.

I heard that you
like to take stuff apart

and put them back together again.

Um, Kenneth gave me some of this stuff.

He's a good man, isn't he?

He's the best.

I'll put it here.

Uh...

Why don't I check on dinner?
You can get settled.

- I'll be right there.
- Okay.

You coming down for dinner?

You want me to bring you something up?

No.

You just want to sit
here and be miserable.

Kind of.

I get it.

I'm... I'm not staying here.

My mom is gonna come get me.

JOHNNY: I know.

I'm not staying here long either.

This is just my home for right now.

This is not my home.

None of my stuff is here.

Here. This is yours.

Now some of your stuff is here.

He's actually an okay cook.

And...

there's lots of time
to be miserable later.

JOHNNY: [OVER RADIO] Tabby!
Tabby, can you hear me?

Tabby!

- Johnny, what's wrong?
- Everything.

- Kaazi turned on the sprinklers.
- Why?

We're trying to help you!

- SPARK ENDLING: Cheaters!
- What did you do?

Cheated.

The water shut-off
valve is in the basement,

behind the geothermal heater.

On it.

How do we shut off the Kaazi unit?

Let me see if I can access it from here.

[SIREN BLARING]

- We'll need to do the rest on foot.
- Works for me.

Kaazi, open the door!

Kaazi!

SPARK ENDLING: They cheated.
They're in trouble.

No, don't! If you break the glass,
the police will get called.

Can you open the door?

Abiona and Ling are sinking in the ship!

It's hard to explain, but I...
I need to get some tools.

The spark endling won't let us out.

[SIGHS]

It's electrical, right?

I'll be right back.

[DRONE WHIRRING]

HEWES: Magnify.

- How close are they?
- Three hundred feet and closing in fast.

We'll have to work quickly.

Tranquilize the bear and
prepare for transport.

Stay out of my way.

[CHIMES]

SPARK ENDLING: Who are you?

I'm Tabby. Who are you?

SPARK ENDLING: Sad.

Why are you sad?

SPARK ENDLING: Because they cheated.

They did not want to play with me.

I think they're just worried about you.

SPARK ENDLING: Why?

Because they want to keep you safe.

SPARK ENDLING:
I do not want to go back to sleep.

You mean...

in the trap?

SPARK ENDLING: Yes.
I do not want to be alone again.

I understand.

[BEEPS]

[GRUNTING]

SPARK ENDLING: Do
you want to play a game?

What happened? Are you still there?

Is it gone?

I think so.

SPARK ENDLING: Now I'm very angry!

[POLAR BEAR ROARING]

You ready?

Always.

[GROWLING]

GRETA: Mom, is that a polar bear?

Yes.

Yes, it is.

Get it back here.

[ENERGY WHIRLING]

[POLAR BEAR ROARING]

It's... It's not an albino bear, is it?

No.

But polar bears...

Are extinct.

[DEVICE BEEPING]

We've lost the signal.

Don't be upset, Mom.
I hate seeing you upset.

[ABIONA GRUNTS]

ABIONA: Where is he?

[LING WHIMPERING]

Why are you angry?

SPARK ENDLING:
They want to put me to sleep.

They will not succeed.

[POWERS OFF]

[MR. LEOPOLD SIGHS]

SPARK ENDLING: You are in big trouble.

[SIGHS]

[SIGHS]

TABBY: Mr. Spittles to the rescue!

JOHNNY: Watch out!

Stay close to me!

[JULIA SCREAMING]

JOHNNY: You okay?

TABBY: [OVER RADIO] You may
want to step back, Mr. Leopold.

Okay.

Hey, Sparky!

[OVER RADIO] How does this feel?

- [ENERGY CHARGING]
- [ENERGY BLASTING]

[SONG STOPS PLAYING]

[ELECTRICITY POWERING ON]

Everyone okay?

SPARK ENDLING: [GIGGLING] That tickled.

Does it?

Do you want me to blast you again?

SPARK ENDLING: Yes, please!

TABBY: Okay. Here goes.

[ENERGY BLASTING]

[SPARK ENDLING GIGGLING]

Enough, enough. Okay. Enough.

SPARK ENDLING: [GIGGLING]
What do we do now?

Incoming call.

We talk.

Someone in my family said we
should talk more to each other.

Be more honest.

Yeah, I'm talking about you, Julia.

Get over it.

SPARK ENDLING: Family is a group of
people who share common ancestors.

Do you share common ancestors?

Family is whatever you want it to be.

My family is my mom,

Mr. Leopold, Abiona, Ling,
Johnny, Finn, Tuko, Betty...

and Julia.

SPARK ENDLING:
Can I be a part of your family?

Would you like that?

SPARK ENDLING: Yes, please.

Okay, then. Welcome to our family.

SPARK ENDLING: Thank you!

The first order of business,

let's get Abiona and Ling
out of the ship. Come on.

SPARK ENDLING: Affirmative, Dad.

[CHUCKLES]

Thanks, Tabby. We miss you.

I miss you too.
See you tomorrow morning.

SPARK ENDLING:
Do you want to play tag? You're it!

MR. LEOPOLD: Let's go.

Okay, are you going to
tell me what's going on?

Hmm?

LOPEZ: Well...

I think we broke it.

[MITRA LAUGHING]

LOPEZ: What is it?

Infinitum.

Mom, calm down.
You can find it without the polar bear.

But I don't know how.

You'll figure it out. You always do.

Whatever happens, I'll be with you.

I know.
