03x05 - Pan troglodytes

[bunniefuu]

["One Step Closer" playing]

[Jane] "Pan troglodytes."

[chattering]

Mr. Jin has found a stick he likes.

- Time?
- 10:22 and 34 seconds.

Wait, 35, 36...



- Why do you name them?
- Because Jane Goodall did.

She was the first person
to study Pan troglodytes in the wild.

Scientific name for chimpanzees?

Yep. She always named animals

because she knew they each
had their own special personality.

Why did you name him Mr. Jin?

[chattering]

[Jane] That's why.

Look.

- I "chimpan-see" what you did there.
- [chuckles]

And Mr. Jin does like to hit his ceiling
with his broom.

- [Jane chuckles]
- [chimpanzee Mr. Jin chatters]

- [David] What's he doing now?
- [Jane] Making a spear.

What? Chimpanzees make spears?

Spears, sponges. All sorts of tools.

You're kidding.

Nope. Jane Goodall was the first person
to discover them making tools.

It changed everything we thought
we knew about chimps and people.

How?

Because if chimpanzees make
their own tools and weapons...

Then they're a lot more like us?

Or we're a lot more like them.

What did Jane Goodall
name the chimpanzees she met?

One of them was Greybeard.

- [chatters]
- [David] Like our Greybeard?

Uh-huh, except his full name
was David Greybeard.

[chuckles] Did you hear that Greybeard?
He had both of our names.

[chatters]

He was the first chimpanzee
she saw using grass to fish out termites.

They eat termites? Gross.

Bugs, fruit, meat.
They eat the same things people eat.

- People eat bugs?
- Some people.

We really are a lot like them.

[chimpanzee chattering]

Too cute.

Remember, we're just observing.

I thought you said no touching.

You're right.

Chimpanzees are endangered
because we're cutting down their forest,

hunting them, and accidentally
giving them people diseases.

They even get sick like us?

[both chattering]

I think she wants to play with you.
She must think you're part of her family.

[chattering continues]

[chimpanzee Mr. Jin shrieking]

- [gasps] Jane?
- It's okay.

Chimpanzees have male leaders.

Mr. Jin might just be showing us
that he's the boss.

- Or collecting weapons.
- [chimpanzee shrieks, whines]

- What are you doing?
- Making a spear.

[hooting]

That's not what I was expecting.

Me either.

Is he still trying to show us
he's the boss?

I'm not sure.
I've never seen anything like this.

[both chattering]

- [machinery whirring]
- [shrieks]

- What's making that noise?
- Only one way to find out.

[both chattering]

[whirring continues]

What happened here?

- We did.
- [Maria] We did what?

Cut down the forest where chimpanzees
and lots of other animals live.

- Can't we just grow it back?
- Not as fast as we're cutting it down.

- That's terrible.
- [Jane] I know.

Laundry's done. Come help me bring it up.

But Mom, there are so many
chimpanzee discoveries still to make.

We just saw Mr. Jin throw a rock
at a tree.

Mr. Jin from below us?

No. Mr. Jin the chimpanzee.

- Why was he throwing rocks?
- Exactly, that's our new mission.

Your mission will have to wait
until after we're finished cleaning.

- But, Mom...
- Have you seen your room?

- You can walkie David when you're done.
- [sighs]

Hi, Mr. Jin.
We were just talking about you.

- I'm going down.
- You can come up with us and then go down.

You know what, I'll actually take
the stairs. I could use some exercise.

- Me too. I'll walk you there.
- Hmm?

And then come straight up
and clean my room.

Great.

[exhales sharply] Can you help carry this?
It's pretty heavy.

[Mr. Jin sighs]

[sighs] Do you wanna know
why we were talking about you?

- Not really.
- You're so funny.

I named a chimpanzee after you because
he likes to put his stick in the air,

kind of like how you hit your ceiling with
your broom when you want us to be quiet.

I try not to do that as much.

But then we saw chimpanzee Mr. Jin
throw a rock at a tree.

Why do you think he would do that?

Maybe they like the way it sounds.

Interesting theory. Any other ideas?

[sighs] Maybe for sport?
Like playing volleyball or tennis?

Chimpanzees do like to play together.

Or maybe that's how
they mark their territory.

Another good idea.
You're getting good at this.

[chuckles] Hey, speaking of chimpanzees,
where's yours?

- [gasps] Greybeard. [grunts]
- Wh-- [grunts]

[stammers, grunts]

Greybeard!

[pants] Greybeard, where are you?

Jane to David. Emergency.

- [sighs] David here. What's wrong?
- Greybeard's missing.

- Hey, Noah. Sorry I'm running late.
- No problem, Dad. You good to go?

Mr. Jin, Mr. Jin! [pants]

Probably not.

I can't find him anywhere.
He must be lost.

I'm sure he'll turn up.

- Who?
- Uh, Greybeard.

Have you seen a chimpanzee walking around?

He's about this high,
has a cute little bit of gray right here.

- It's how he got his name.
- [chuckles] What?

- Gray beard.
- Where did you last see him, Jane?

- In the back alley, but he's not there.
- Keep looking. I'm sure you'll find him.

But what if I don't?

He's one of my best friends.

- [breathes deeply]
- [David] I'm her other best friend.

I'm his sister.

I'm his son.

[David] Hi.

We'll keep a lookout from up here, Jane.

Don't worry, Jane. We'll find him.

Why don't you check the back alley again?

[sighs]

Funny kids.

[panting]

[chimpanzee hooting]

[gasps] Greybeard, is that you?

[chimpanzee hooting]

I'm coming, Greybeard.

[hooting]

Mr. Jin?

- [both chattering]
- Greybeard.

Wait, was our neighbor Mr. Jin right?

Do chimpanzees throw stones
to mark their territory,

or create a path to follow,
or do they just like how it sounds?

[shrieks]

[Jane gasps]

[gasps] Oh, no, you're caught in a trap.
Let me help you.

[shrieking]

[Jane] Don't worry, Greybeard.
I'll get him out.

Almost there.

[shrieking]

[Jane grunts] There, you're free!

[chatters, hoots]

[whimpering]

Greybeard?

[whimpers]

Greybeard. [sighs]

[Mr. Jin] Found him.

[chuckles] Ah.

Hey. A bit covered with leaves, but other
than that, he looks pretty good to me.

Thanks, Mr. Jin.

[David] David to Jane.

Jane here.

I didn't find Greybeard,
but I did find your mom.

She's, like, really mad.

Super mad.

- You should probably head back up there.
- Thanks again for finding him.

Glad I could help.

Greybeard?

Greybeard.

Why aren't you real?

Okay, I didn't think it was possible,
but your mom's, like, even madder.

David, tell Jane to come home now.

Your mom says to come home.

Now.

[sighs]

[cries]

[cries, sniffles]

- Where have you been?
- [cries]

And why did Mr. Jin drop off the laundry
that you were supposed to bring up?

- [cries]
- Jane, answer me.

Sorry, Mom.

- Oh, sweetie. Come here. [sighs]
- [cries]

What's wrong?

[breathes shakily]
Greybeard met another chimpanzee,

and there was a little chimp,

and Mr. Jin got caught in a trap and--
[breathes shakily]

I don't think Greybeard
wants to be my friend anymore.

Is Mr. Jin in trouble?

[breathes shakily] The chimp one.

[sighs, stammers] Okay, okay.

- Come, come, come sit down.
- [cries]

[Maria sighing]

- Deep breath.
- [inhales deeply]

[both exhale sharply]

- [cries]
- Tell me again.

[cries] Greybeard met
some other chimpanzees

and then he saw how their homes
were being cut down. [sniffles]

And one of them got caught in a trap
and I cut him loose,

but then Greybeard walked away from me.

[sniffles] And... [breathes shakily]
...I think it's because he saw

how people like us are a threat to chimps.

[sniffles]

- But he's right here.
- [breathes shakily] But he's not alive.

[sighs]

Okay, Jane, I'm sure that Greybeard knows
how much you're doing for him--

[cries] But chimpanzees
don't have time, Mom.

In a few years, there won't be any left,

and there's still so much
we have to discover about them.

- [cries]
- Like what?

Like why they throw rocks at trees
or use tools.

No other animal in the world does stuff
like that except for us.

[breathes shakily]
Chimpanzees and people are so alike,

so why are we hurting them, Mom?

- [sighs]
- [sniffles, cries]

- Jane, I don't know.
- [cries]

But what I do know

is that you're doing everything
that you can to make a difference.

What does Jane Goodall say?
"Only if we understand, we can"--

But we can't understand
if there aren't any chimpanzees left.

[cries]

[Maria sighs]

[Jane sniffles]

[sighs, cries]

[sighs]

[sniffles, sighs]

[knocking]

I'm cleaning.

[banging]

I'll be fine, Mom.

[knocking]

David?

What are you doing
with all our chimpanzee research stuff?

I'm putting it away.

- Why?
- Because there's no point, David.

Every year,
more and more animals disappear,

and there's not enough people
doing something about it.

But what about Jane Goodall
and all the other people we've met?

They're doing something.

[sighs] It's still not enough.

I bet there's a quote.

There's no hope.

Greybeard's gone.

He wouldn't do that.

It's true.

I don't think
he wants to be friends anymore.

Maybe there's someone else
you could imagine who could help us?

I just want Greybeard back.

Maybe someone who knows a lot
about chimpanzees?

Like who?

[David] Mmm?

[sighs]

- Just close your eyes and--
- I know how it works.

Then close your eyes.

And imagine.

[imitating chimpanzee]

That's how chimpanzees say hello.

[imitating chimpanzee]

Very good, David.

She knows my name.

[chuckles]

And, uh, hello, Jane.

Hoot, Jane. Hoot.

[imitates chimpanzee]

That didn't sound too happy.

Well, chimpanzees don't always
sound happy, just like people.

They can feel angry,

they can feel frightened

and they can feel sad.

Just like you, Jane.

Jane's sad because our Greybeard
doesn't wanna be her friend anymore.

Well, you know, I knew a Greybeard once.

David Greybeard,
my very favorite chimpanzee.

I know. He was the first chimpanzee
you saw using tools.

David Greybeard was the first chimpanzee
who trusted me.

Once he began to trust me,

then the other chimpanzees
who'd been so fearful,

I think they thought, "Well, she can't
be so frightening after all."

And I got to know all of them
as individuals.

My Greybeard trusted me too,

but then he saw all of the bad things
people are doing, and I can't stop it.

[breathes shakily]

It can feel pretty hopeless, can't it?

Yes. Do you ever feel hopeless too?

I think everybody who thinks about
what we're doing to the planet

feels hopeless sometimes.

But you know what you can do
when you feel hopeless,

is to think about all the hopeful things.

Like what?

Well, more and more people are aware
of the problems that we've created,

like climate change, loss of biodiversity.

And while scientists are coming up
with innovative solutions

to try and heal some of the harm
that we've done,

young people like you are thinking about
what you can do to make the world better.

That gives me hope.

With every one step,
we're one step closer to saving the world.

That sounds like a Jane Goodall quote.

Well, actually,
I think it's a Jane Garcia quote.

[chuckles]

[Goodall] And so, think of things to do,

roll up your sleeves
and get out there and do them.

And so, I think that you deserve
to go up on this hero board

for all the things that you do.

How do chimpanzees say thank you?

Well, sometimes they groom each other.

- Can we brush your hair?
- [chuckles]

[chuckles] There's no need for that.
[chuckles]

Thank you, Dr. Goodall.

You can call me Dr. Jane, if you like.
Both of you.

And now, there's an awful lot to be done
to make this world a better place

before it's too late.

So off you go and help to save our planet.

Thank you, Dr. Jane.

Where do you think you're going?

I promise I'll clean my room later,
Mom, but right now--

No, you didn't let me finish.

Where do you think you're going
without Greybeard?

I cleaned all the dirt off him.

[Jane] Mmm.

Uh, David?

This is how chimpanzees say thank you.

Uh, well, maybe they should ask first.

Can we brush your hair to say thanks
for cleaning up Greybeard?

I guess so. [sighs]

[inhales sharply] Yeah, this is weird.
Okay, off you go.

[sighs]

- [gasps] This way.
- How do you know?

I'm not sure, but I think
they make these marks like a map

- so they know which way to go.
- X marks the Greybeard.

Let's hope.

[knocking on door]

Mr. Jin. Was I being too loud?

- Why does everyone ask me that?
- [chuckles]

No. I just wanted to check on Jane.

Uh, she seemed pretty upset earlier.

That's so nice.

[stammers] She was.

Uh, it's the first time
I've ever seen her so hopeless.

[sighs] Yeah. I know what that feels like.

Can I talk to her?

[stammers] She's out exploring with David,
but I can text you when she's back.

No, that's okay.

I'll see if I bump into her. Bye.

Bye.

[both chattering]

[sighs] Look,

that little chimp is learning to throw
the rock at the tree from Greybeard.

But why?

I still don't know.

Maybe to mark a path,
or maybe they just like the sound,

or maybe it's for a reason
we haven't even thought of yet.

This is why it's important
to save animals.

There's still so much to learn about them.

[chattering continues]

[sighs]

[imitating chimpanzee]

[both hooting]

I know people are doing a lot
of bad things to chimpanzees, Greybeard.

But just like that little chimp
is learning new things from you,

people can learn new things from us.

[hoots]

We can teach them
that we only have one world, one home.

That we have to work together
to protect it.

[chatters]

I know sometimes it can feel hopeless,
but we have to try.

I'm never gonna stop trying.

Me either.

[sighs, chatters]

- [chatters]
- [chuckles] Thank you too.

[chatters]

[chatters]

- [chuckles]
- [elevator dings]

[Jane] Mr. Jin?

Where's David?

We finished our mission,
but I still have to clean my room.

- You feeling better?
- Yeah.

I think so. I just sometimes worry
that I'm not doing enough.

You're kidding, right?

[scoffs] Get up.

Follow me.

Without you, we wouldn't
be recycling batteries. Hmm?

We wouldn't have butterflies
in front of Mr. Patel's apartment. Hmm?

We wouldn't be trying to help animals
all over the world.

[chuckles]

And we wouldn't have bat houses.

- Remind me again why we--
- They eat insects.

Right.

We wouldn't know
what goes in each bin. Hmm?

Come on.

None of this would've happened
without you.

- And David and a lot of other people.
- Yes, but you inspired us all.

[Jane sighs]

Would you sign a petition
to help endangered chimpanzees?

- Of course.
- And donate some money?

- How much?
- [Maria] Jane?

Clean room, then you can save the world.

Gotta go.

[chattering]

[both chattering]

Come on, Greybeard.
We have a world to save.

[Jane] "Help save the chimpanzees."

- [Maria] Jane.
- [Jane] I'm cleaning, I'm cleaning.

That's not what I'm coming in
to show you. Come here.

- [hooting]
- [Jane] Where is this video from?

- Chimp Eden.
- The Chimp Eden?

One of Dr. Jane's chimpanzee sanctuaries

where they take care
of rescued chimpanzees?

- Yes, and guess what?
- [video call ringing]

- [imitating chimpanzee]
- [Jane chuckles]

I thought you could use
a bit of a pick-me-up, so I reached out

and I set up a call
for you with Jana Swart.

- She works at Chimp Eden.
- I know who she is.

Wow, this is really amazing. Thanks, Mom.

Have fun. [kisses]

- Hi. You must be Jane and David.
- [both] Hi, Jana.

[Jane] I have so many questions for you.

Do the chimps at Chimp Eden
ever get released back into the wild?

No, they need to learn how to survive
in their natural habitat,

which they learn from their mothers.

But due to hunting and deforestation,
many have lost their mothers

and they end up in circuses
or kept as pets.

That's bad for them.

That's so sad.

[Swart] That is why it's so important
to have a sanctuary

where these rescue chimpanzees
can be given a better life.

[chimpanzees hooting]

What was that?

The chimps must've seen Stany. [chuckles]

Wait. Stany,
as in the Chimpanzee Whisperer?

Hmm?

He works at Chimp Eden,
and he's an expert on chimpanzees.

Jane is an expert on experts.

I actually have a surprise
for both of you.

You've got to see this.

[chimpanzees hooting]

He's feeding the chimpanzees.

- [hooting]
- Hi, guys.

They look so happy.

Hi, Jane. Hi, David.

- Hi, Stany.
- Hi, Stany.

Hey, where are all the chimpanzees going?

They're probably off
to search for more food.

We rely on Stany to tell us
what they think and feel

so that we can look after them properly.

That's why
you're the Chimpanzee Whisperer.

Ah. Yeah. [chuckles]

How'd you get that nickname?

Dr. Jane Goodall, she give me that name.

Dr. Jane gave it to you?
That's so awesome.

How long have you been working
with chimpanzees, Stany?

Almost half of my life.

This is me taking care of baby chimps.

This is Poco.

Here I am teaching a community
how to live with chimpanzees.

You must've helped so many chimpanzees.

[Stany] They are like my family,
and they teach me a lot.

Like what?

Forgiveness and hope.

And how have they taught you hope?

When the chimpanzee come at the sanctuary,

they are very sick
and they are very scared.

And after getting good care,

they become healthy,
and they don't give up.

And that is giving me hope.

What can we do to help?

It is important to share
with your friend and family

what you have learned
about our close relative, the chimpanzees.

Yes. No matter where you live,
you can help wild animals

by buying sustainably sourced products
that don't destroy their forest home.

They do less harm to the planet
when they are made.

Chimpanzees and other animals
need the forest to survive.

And to remember that animals were not
placed on this earth

for our entertainment.

And we need the whole world to know that.

- I'll tell everyone.
- Me too.

How do chimpanzees say goodbye?

Chimpanzee use this last call
to say goodbye.

[imitating chimpanzee]

[both imitating chimpanzee]

[chimpanzees hooting]

[Maria, Jane chuckle]

- [all] Bye, Jana. Bye, Stany.
- [chuckles]

[both] Bye, chimpanzees.

- Mom, thank you so much for that.
- Yeah, thanks, Jane's mom.

Uh, I hope Greybeard liked it too.

He definitely did.

[Maria] Hmm.

Now,
this room isn't going to clean itself.

Bye, David.

- Bye.
- [Jane] Bye, David.

Uh, I thought you might need these.

[gasps] Thanks, Mom.

[Greybeard chatters]

Here. You put Stany up and I put Jana up?

[chattering]
