[ hawk screams ]

[ screaming ]

[ grunting ]

‐ Oh!

[ hawk screeches ]

Whoa! I can't believe we all made it out of that hawk attack alive.

‐ Hey! Where are we?

‐ You know, I don't know.

I've never seen this part of the yard before.

Whoa!

‐ What? ‐ I wanna see.

♪ And Twig! ♪♪

‐ Ooh. ‐ It's beautiful.

NARRATOR: Today, on "Vicious Planet",

we travel to the plains of East Africa,

where there is surprising life hidden just beneath the surface

[ screaming ]

It's a naked mole rat.

These remarkable creatures are hairless and nearly blind.

Here, a tender young leaf becomes a tasty snack

for this voracious herbivore

‐ Dude...

NARRATOR: The mole rats' moist, clammy hands

help it grasp twigs in the darkness.

[ groans ]

These rats have come across a cache of juicy berries.

[ grunts ]

‐ Uh! No way.

NARRATOR: These rats way is blocked by stone.

It manipulates the stone with its large teeth

located outside its mouth.

[ screams ]

Their skin is naturally retardant to acid and fire,

they feel no pain, and they eat their own scat.

[ screaming ]

[ panting ]

‐ Hey, where are we?

‐ This looks like a kinda place a mole rate would live.

‐ Berry, cut it out! There aren't any mole rats here.

‐ But, Rocksy, there are signs of the mole rats everywhere!

‐ What signs? ‐ Look! Scratch marks!

‐ And?

[ gasps ]

‐ Bite marks! ‐ So what?

‐ Is this scat? I think I found some scat.

‐ Hmm...

[ coughs ]

Gross! That is not scat.

‐ Ya see, nothing to worry about. ‐ Uh! Leaf, behind you!

‐ Whoa! It's the mole rat's lair.

[ scream ]

‐ You, guys, this is just a dumb hole.

I'm not exactly sure what we saw back there,

but wherever the mole rat is, it definitely is not here.

[ "Mole rat" grunting ]

‐ Run from the mole rat!

[ panting ]

‐ Rocksy, am I gonna be grasped in the darkness?

‐ Yes! But first, I'm gonna get completely shredded!

I mean I'm already, like, totally shredded.

But I mean like in the bad way!

‐ Uh! Did you see? Berries are their playthings.

Our insides painting their outsides, like, like outside paint!

‐ Outside paint? ‐ Oh, no!

‐ We gotta leave the yard and never come back!

‐ We're not abandoning our home. Family meeting!

Hmm! Listen, I know that the mole rat is scary...

TWIG: Very scary! ‐ Thank you, Twig.

This Yard is our home and we're gonna defend it.

We can take care of this mole rat.

‐ But, Rocksy! You saw what it does to berries.

‐ Uh! Outside paint. ‐ Oh, no!

‐ We can't face that!

‐ Maybe we don't have to face it.

We just gotta be smart. Come on, I got an idea!

[ "Mole rat" grunting ]

[ tummy grunts ]

[ chuckles ]

‐ Calm down there, tummy. We'll find some nuts to nibble.

[ chuckles ]

A special treat for birthday number five!

♪ Oh, my name is Flippy And I'm a Squirrel ♪

♪ I bet there never was another squirrel As happy as little ole me! ♪♪

[ screaming ]

‐ Did we get it? ‐ Let's go, come on!

ROCKSY: Does anyone see a body? ‐ No.

‐ Maybe the trap was too slow.

‐ Dude, no way. That thing can outrun wood?

‐ Wait, wood? I'm wood! ‐ My trap is fool‐proof.

It crushes anything in its path.

‐ Uh, Rocksy, is standing underneath it considered "in its path"?

‐ Yeah, could be.

[ scream ]

See, Leaf? Works perfectly. Leaf?

‐ No!

‐ Brother! Rocksy, what do we do?

‐ Um, give me a sec to think.

[ groans ]

‐ Ah! Oh, my gosh, my teeth are outside of my mouth!

[ crying ]

[ "Mole rat" grunting ]

‐ Ah! Right now we run. ‐ But Leaf!

‐ There's nothing we can do for him! Now move before the mole rat comes back!

‐ That was pretty intense. Huh, I'm missing my arm.

Better than being crushed, I guess. Where is everyone? Dudes, where'd you go?

‐ Okay, all the mole rat has to do is walk into this trap...

and bam! He's done‐zo, chica!

‐ And then we can go back and get Leaf out from under that log?

‐ Leaf's a goner, right? ‐ We'll mourn him later.

TWIG: I can hear you.

Leaf's completely flat already, it's impossible for him to be crushed.

I don't mean to be a nag, but here I go...

We need to get Leaf and give up on this trap business.

The mole rat already escaped one of our traps. What?

You think he's going to walk in here and set this one off?

He's too smart for that.

Plus, it doesn't even work!

[ screaming ]

‐ Uh!

What is that peculiar noise?

[ scream ]

[ grunting ]

H‐H‐Hello? Has anyone seen my spectacles?

I'm nearly blind without my spec‐‐

[ screams ]

‐ Uh, Twig! Twig? I don't see him anywhere.

‐ The mole rat wrenched him apart!

‐ Ah! Poor Twig!

[ grunting ]

‐ Quick, hide!

[ groaning ]

[ "Mole rat" grunting ]

Oh, that was close.

‐ Rocksy, I was right.

That mole rat is unstoppable. We have to leave the yard.

‐ I guess if you wanna leave, you can,

but I just thought you might want to give it a shot first.

‐ Give what a shot first?

‐ The Apparatus.

[ gasps ]

‐ But you said it was forbidden!

‐ Because I didn't want you to maim anyone. Until now.

Come on! Let's go set it up.

‐ Oh, hey, how's it going, Twig?

TWIG: Oh, you know, pretty good.

‐ Is it ready?

[ chuckles ]

‐ I give you...

The Apparatus!

‐ What's it do again?

‐ The five P's: Prodding, Punching, Pinching, Poking, Peeling!

You know, the classics.

‐ There's no way the mole rat's gonna get past this.

[ "Mole rat" grunting ]

‐ Ah! It's here!

[ panting heavily ]

‐ Huh?

[ gasp ]

‐ The trip‐line!

‐ Berry, no!

‐ Got it! Huh?

Ah!

[ screaming ]

[ things breaking ]

‐ Berry? Did it work?

No! Berry!

[ grunting ]

[ screaming ]

No, no, no, no, no!

[ gasps ]

‐ Oh! Sweet nuts and berries, I'm naked!

‐ They're...

They're all gone. Forever.

All I have are mementos to remember them by.

Leaf's arm. Berry's stem. Twig's...

Well, you can't remember everyone.

BERRY: Rocksy.

‐ Ooh? Is that...

Guys?

It can't be. You're all...

‐ Rocksy, what are you doin' sitting all alone in the dark?

♪

‐ Can I have my stem back?

Ah, that's better. I feel more like my old self now.

‐ Oh, wow.

You almost feel real. I can't believe I can see you.

‐ Of course you can. ‐ We have unfinished business.

‐ I get it now. You've came back to guide me.

‐ You can't give up on getting rid of the mole rat now, Rocksy.

‐ But nothing we tried as a team worked. And I'm all alone now.

‐ You're never alone. We're always right beside you.

‐ We've been with you the whole time. ‐ Um...

Can I get my arm?

‐ But I'm out of traps.

‐ No more traps. It's time for you to face the mole rat, face to face.

‐ Okay. How do I get it out of its lair?

‐ Calm the rough waters of your heart, and the answer will flow out of you.

Also, please? My arm.

‐ Rough waters...

Flow...

Uh! I've got it!

[ laughing insanely ]

‐ Huh? Oh, no! Moisture!

[ screams ]

[ grunting ]

Why! What is happening to me?

‐ Because you deserve it!

You thought you could come in here and scare us out of the only home

we've ever known, but you can't. I may be alone now, but‐‐

TWIG: Hey, Rocks? ‐ Yeah?

‐ We're, uh, literally right behind you.

‐ Oh, yes I know, and I carry your strength with me always.

Now where was I? Oh, yeah. I am not letting no stinkin' mole rat‐‐

‐ Mole rat? No, no, no, I'm not a mole rat.

‐ Okay. I think I know a mole rat when I see one.

Those horrible teeth outside your mouth,

the squinty blind eyes, disgusting, hairless body, yep.

Definitely a mole rat.

‐ No! You are mistaken.

‐ Hmm, did I?

‐ That mole rat won't be bothering us anymore!

‐ Again, he was a squirrel. ‐ What do we do with the remains?

‐ Oh, no! ‐ There's gotta be something you can do!

‐ There is one thing, an experimental operation

I've been preparing for just such an occasion.

But it's experimental, I've never done it before!

‐ Anything, Doc! Anything!

‐ Okey‐dokey! Just sit down so I can clip off your legs!

‐ His legs? What does that have to do with the bumps under his armpits?

‐ What bumps? Oh! I see, I see.

They seem to be egg sacs containing some kind of weird embryos.

‐ Em‐bros? So, like, am I going to be okay, Doc?

‐ More than okay. You're going to be a mommy!

‐ Wow! ‐ What?

‐ These little em‐bros won't kill me. Right on!

‐ Congratulations!

Let me know if you change your mind about the operation!

‐ Alright, guys, the doctor has given us some pretty spectacular news.

‐ Did he, though?

‐ Yes, Leaf. You're literally a miracle vessel.

And it's up to us, mommy's little helpers,

to take care of you while your eggs get ready for their big hatching day!

‐ Uh...

yeah, I'm good, guys, I can take care of myself.

‐ Ha! Good one, Leaf.

But I think we all know that's not the case.

‐ Well, Twig does like taking care of stuff.

‐ Yeah, if you're looking to be smothered with love, never left alone.

‐ Your every thought second‐guessed.

‐ Oh! Stop. But you're right. Leaf, I order you to relax.

‐ Hey, no problem.

Whoop, oh, whoa.

‐ Oh, uh...

‐ Oh, Twig! I've got something to help Leaf relax.

‐ In what world would that help Leaf relax?

‐ Twig! Will this help Leaf relax? ‐ No, no, no, get this out of here!

‐ Ugh! I will take it from here.

I am clearly more suited for this, right, Leaf? Ah!

‐ Ah! ‐ What do you think you're doing?

‐ Relaxing, bro.

‐ But that's not good for the babies! ‐ How can relaxing be bad for the babies?

Also please, they're em‐bros.

‐ Ah! They're sinking! Here, here!

Leaf, you really need to start thinking more responsibly

now that you're an expectant mother.

DAVE: Oh, no way, is that Leaf?

What's up, bro, it's been ages.

‐ Dave! Aw! Bro!

Yo, I can't believe it, it's Dave! Aw, man, it's been too long.

Dave, Dave, you remember my brother Twig, yeah?

‐ Well, not really. So, mate, what's been going on with you?

‐ Leaf is going to be a mom. ‐ Oh, no way, man? Congratulations.

‐ Thanks, Dave.

But check it out, dude. ‘Lil teeny weeny broskinis of my own.

‐ The same way we always do, Dave.

‐ Wrestling!

‐ Get over here, rah!

‐ You're not gonna like this. ‐ Oh, Dave, c'mon man! Dave!

Okay, stop!

‐ So should I leave like, right now? ‐ David, look at yourself.

You literally have spikes coming off of your body.

Come on, man. Where's the critical thinking?

‐ Oh. Fair enough. Well, catch you later, Leaf.

‐ Dude, you didn't have to send Dave away like that.

‐ I think I might've dropped my ballpoint pen over here?

‐ David! ‐ My bad, okay, yeah, I'm off.

‐ Leaf, uh, what do you think you're doing?

‐ You're being a real downer.

I'm going somewhere where you can't smother me

with your smother vibes. Whoosh!

‐ Leaf, wait, that is not safe! Leaf, are you listening to me? Leaf, Leaf!

‐ This way we won't fly apart in the next wind storm.

[ screaming ]

‐ Oh! Whoa!

‐ You can't just go flying around anymore, Leaf!

‐ Quit following me! ‐ What if you land too hard?

Think of the babies!

Listen, Leaf. I know parenthood is a lot of pressure.

Maybe it'd be easier if you just...

I don't know, I'm just spit ‐balling here, but put the eggs on me for a little bit?

[ chuckles ]

‐ Okay, so that's what this is about.

Bro, I think it's time for you to accept

the eggs have chosen me as their momma and not you.

‐ Uh. Well, sure, I mean, they're babies. They're real dumb.

‐ Check out the gains the little em‐bros are getting with my guidance.

Big momma Leaf in town.

I have like such a sense of purpose.

‐ It's not fair!

‐ Maybe you'll understand when you have em‐bros of your own.

‐ It should be me! I am mommy! I am mommy!

I could've been a great mom. I wouldn't let anything happen to them.

‐ Ah...
