Original subtitles

-Everest, are you okay?

That was an epic fight!

Mild violence. Mature grunting.

I probably should've watched with parental guidance.

-Why would someone send Robo-Qilin to attack us?

It doesn't make any sense!

-I know! We're super lovable.

Look at Everest!

Aww, I wish my mom's angry face was that cute.

-The only way to find out why is to find out who. But how?

-Lucky for you, I love to keep track of my things.

I can trace the serial number on the part

back to the person I sold it to.

-Well, there goes that idea.

-Our tech must've been broken

in the Everest and Robo-Qilin fight.

-Which you totally won!

You still have your leg!

-Not to worry.

As an inventor

and frequent defendant in intellectual property cases,

I've learned to always keep a paper trail.

Duchess, if you will?

- Wow, Duchess. - It's beautiful!

-Ah-ha! This person was a repeat customer.

His orders alone funded my cooking classes.

I've almost mastered Duck Paté en Croûte.

Too bad he's evil.

Okay. Okay.

I'll put him on my "Do Not Sell To" list.

Here's the shipping address.

-Looks like the place is just outside the city.

-We need to get there stat.

Whoever sent Robo-Qilin will know something is up

once they see his missing leg.

Everest, can you hum up a super-fast cloud?

-Ooh! Maybe like a bullet train or a Blackbird jet!

Eh, that works too.

-Duchess and I will stay here to restore your tech.

I suspect you'll need it.

-Thank you, Mr. Burnish.

Where are they flying off to so fast?

Creature mission? Free money giveaway?

If not free money, why are you not calling me, Great Watchers?

There are only two logical explanations.

Nothing, eh?

Hmph. Well, I don't need you!

I don't need buttons, and I don't need free money.

I lie. I do!

No one leaves Nai Nai in the dark.

I'll find them myself.

They always want you back once you walk out the door.

Yes? Oh, I was just on my way out.

A multi-step mission? I like it.

On foot? No problem. I have a very fast power-walk.

I shall accomplish this with great honor.

We're close.

-There, that must be it!

Everest, let's fly over to the house.

-Good eye, Everest!

-The sugar cane field is under surveillance.

We have to stay under the radar.

-If the person who made Qilin knows we're coming,

he's gonna be on high alert.

-Okay, we'll follow the GPS.

Ugh! We lost reception.

-So just walk straight?

-Which way is straight?

-Should we knock?

I know they sent a killer robot after us,

but I don't wanna seem rude.

-Are you sure this is it? There's no address.

Death, death, death, death.

That's a death for each of us.

-Everest, I gotta say, your detective skills

are on point today.

- Help. - Guys, listen.

Help.

-Someone's in the shack. Let's go!

-Um, are you kidding, Yi?

That shack looks...

dusty!

-Bad things happen in shacks.

Help.

-Come on. He said help three times.

-Let's go! Let's do this! Whoo! Jin, you have no fears.

You've rescued creatures, ridden on clouds,

escaped quick mud,

de-friended a world-famous influencer,

and went against your mother's wishes

and dropped out of medical school.

You can do this! Dust is dust.

-That's right. And a shack is a shack.

-Great, now that you guys self-talked yourselves

back to reality, let's go!

- Okay. - Uh, but you first!

-Ugh.

Mr. Lung? Is that you?

- Yes. - Are you okay?

What... What are you doing here?

-Who did this to you, Mr. Lung?

-Why did you stop making your candied fruit?

- Not the right time. - Got it.

-This robotic Qilin took over my home and my shop,

and has been keeping me hostage here ever since.

-I'm so sorry, Mr. Lung.

We know you used to keep the Minticon.

We've been taking good care of them.

They're amazing little creatures.

-Yes, they are.

I'm relieved to hear that they've been in good hands.

Thank you.

-Oh, there's, uh, no reception out here.

I know.

What's happening?

Let us out!

-Bad things do happen in shacks.

-You were the one who sent Qilin.

-You've always been a smart girl, Yi.

But not this time, I guess.

Lucky for me, I always buy in bulk.

-Wrench.

No, Duchess!

Not the delicious multi-purpose dressing

Americans use as both a dip and a sauce.

Clamps.

Not clams!

I promise lunch is to follow promptly after I fix this.

And that should do it!

OMG!

All the data was downloaded and then deleted!

Yes, Duchess,

this is much worse than we expected.

Someone is definitely after the Creature Brigade.

I have to warn the kids.

No answer! We must go to them now!

Duchess, the car!

Right, I forgot. Our car is no more,

and the umbrella is our only mode of transpo.

Another thing that could've been funded by evil.

Mission Part Two completed.

It only took three hours and a walk outside of town

to renew my driver's license,

even though I didn't need to and do not know why,

because I can follow instructions

without questioning.

Approaching Mission Part Three.

There's never anything good inside random boxes in alleys.

Free money!

I'm off to the next location.

-What's that beeping?

Please say, "The cookies are done."

-My cookies are done.

But you can't have any because you'll be here forever

while I reclaim what is rightfully mine!

All the creatures!

-They're not yours!

-They will be.

-No! What're you gonna do with them?

-Whatever evil villains do with their monsters.

I mean, creatures.

Destroy humanity? World domination?

Things your mother wouldn't approve of?

-We have to get outta here!

-Silly kids.

Stop digging!

The shack stands on a steel foundation

that you will never get through.

And the walls are reinforced with steel.

There is no way out.

Qilin, guard these kids.

- Everest! - Whoa!

-Guys, we can't let Mr. Lung get away.

We have to stall him and figure out a way to break out of here

before he gets his hands on the creatures!

- We need a plan. - Plan? What plan?

Our phones don't work. The shack is unbreakable.

This might be our permanent residence.

Forever.

-Jin, just like you said,

we've helped creatures, saved the city from Nian,

and started the Creature Brigade!

Although I didn't quit med school

and still have to endure the disappointing glares from my mom,

we can do this!

Did you forget that some of us have superpowers?

Yi, what's yours?

-Um, empathy?

-I thought you were gonna say your magical violin,

but, yes, empathy is your superpower.

Now go think of a plan!

-I guess my superpowers are tech and creature medicine.

-That's right! Go think of a plan!

Good idea, Everest, let's brainstorm!

Uh, I don't have a storm in my brain,

but I might have a sprinkle.

I have a plan!

-Mr. Lung!

I remember tasting your candied fruit

for the first time when I was a little girl.

It was the best!

The smell of the sugar. The tangy candied dust.

That was my first memory

of something sweet and delicious.

How did you go from that to this?

What happened to you?

-You happened, Yi. You!

Keep running!

You can't stop!

This is our first national order,

and we have to fulfill it.

This could make or break us.

I'll be the richest man in all of China!

What? What is this?

You can no longer have these creatures in your care.

You must abandon this endeavor now

to avoid further punishment.

No!

-I didn't take the Minticon from you, Mr. Lung.

-But the Great Watchers did.

JIN, PENG, AND YI: The Great Watchers?

-Why do you sound so surprised?

The Great Watchers have been in our fairy tale books for centuries.

-I thought they were just fairy tales.

But I guess so were all the creatures.

-So the mighty power in the magical realm

who watches over us is real?

-A... And there's a human realm and a magical realm?

-Yi, your friends aren't the brightest bulbs in the box.

-This is crazy.

-The Minticon and I were going to make millions

until you became the creatures' new caretaker.

-The Minticon came to us, and I just wanted to help them!

I had nothing to do with taking them from you!

-You had everything to do with it.

The Great Watchers took them from me,

and now they're with you.

You do the math!

You replaced me.

-No! That can't be. I... Ugh, I don't understand.

-There's a lot you don't know, Yi.

-I know that I didn't use them to benefit myself.

-Aren't you benefiting from the creatures yourself?

I know you have more than just your violin.

You collect creatures' magic to enhance your own magic.

Aren't we the same?

-She uses her magic to help creatures!

Not to take advantage of them!

-Wait, how do you even know about my magic?

I've been watching you, Yi.

Your every magical move.

With the help of my little friend.

Hmm. Thank you for the information.

There you are, Pink.

-You were the one in Peng's body.

So this Minticon has been spying on us for you?

-Indeed! Isn't that amazing?

Now I can achieve even more than I originally set out to do.

I owe a lot to this little guy.

-You were a great team.

You can keep doing positive things together instead of...

Instead of this!

-Candied fruit! Candied fruit!

Oh, no, no, no, no, no! We needed to sell those!

This is our chance to get ahead.

Try it?

Mm. Mmm. Wow! That is delicious!

Why did I never think of this?

Free sample! Candied fruit sticks!

It's a secret family recipe!

-Did you say free sample?

That is like nothing I've ever tasted before.

- I'll take ten! - Really?

-My daughter-in-law is very pregnant

and only wants candied fruit.

She's very picky.

Luckily, you saved me a trip across town!

I'll tell all my friends about your business.

-Xie xie, xie xie!

When the baby comes,

I will give her all the candied fruit she wants!

-Her name is Yi. Don't forget.

-You made so many people happy with your candied fruit.

-And the Minticon helped with that.

Isn't that enough?

-Your candied fruit was my childhood!

Although, I am still a child, so I guess it still is.

-I've had enough taken from me!

My shop. My Minticon. My life.

Now I have the chance to get it all back. My way.

By getting rid of you and your little crew.

Just think about all the power I'll have

when I get all those creatures!

-You weren't always like this, Mr. Lung!

Just think about who you were when you first met the Minticon.

That was you. That's who you really are.

-You wanna play?

Baba, they said they want to play!

Did you hear that?

Silly boy.

-But that was a long time ago.

-No, you communicated with creatures! Just like me.

It's not too late to go back to that.

We're the same.

Jin, what's our status?

-All right, we're ready for the final step of our escape plan.

Everest, let's secure the glasses onto the keypad.

-A bakery?

Whatever you say, Great Watchers.

Whatever you say.

I have to eat this whole thing? What kind of mission is this?

-Taxi!

Why didn't you tell me this was a one-time-use transpo umbrella?

Why can't I get a taxi?

Are my handsome-man good looks too intimidating?

Gah! Have I shrunk?

I have another idea.

-"Go to the store

and buy ingredients to make sticky rice dumplings."

What? You have to soak the rice overnight!

That will take forever!

This multi-step mission doesn't make sense!

Wait a minute!

First, driver's license, two hours.

Eating sandwich bigger than California, USA,

one and a half hours.

And now, sticky rice dumplings, all night?

I've been sent on a sidetrack mission!

No one sidetracks Nai Nai.

There's something big going on

that they don't want me to know about.

But I will always know.

MR. BURNISH AND NAI NAI: I need your help!

-We have to get ready to fly

because once Qilin looks at the tech glasses,

they're going to spark just like they did when he came to our HQ.

It'll cause a chain reaction,

activating the current in Qilin's leg

which will set off an explosion and blast the bars open.

- Got it. - Okay.

-Hey, Qilin, look at my glasses.

Everest, cloud!

- Peng, are you ready? - Ready!

-Jump!

-It's not going to be this easy to get away, kids!

-Run!

-It's a maze in here. Which way do I go?

-Just keep running!

What'd I do to you, sugarcane? Aah!

Yi, I don't think there'sa way out!

There has to be!

-Give it up! You'll never find your way out!

-Well, you'll never find us because we can't even find us!

-I found you.

I told you, you were in my way.

-No, you are in our way.

-Wait, where are the creature pegs?

-Looking for this?

Qilin swapped it when he was at your HQ.

Everest!

-You know, Yi, your empathy is what's holding you back.

Qilin, finish them!

-Mr. Lung, what are you doing here?

-He's a bad guy.

-But his candies...

-I know! Very disappointing! It's a long story.

-He's not the Mr. Lung we knew before.

-My empathy has always been my magic

regardless of the violin.

Mr. Lung, you have to give up.

Nothing good will come of this.

-Nai Nai!

-Keep playing, Yi!

Get off of me!

-You don't tell me what to do, Candyman!

You tried to hurt my granddaughter

and her friends, I hurt you back.

Everest!

-Hey, Qilin, over here!

-We don't have reception out here, Mr. Burnish.

-I know. Duchess and I did a geolocation scan on this area

before we got here.

And there are a few satellites turning our direction.

-Oh, Mr. Burnish, you're brilliant.

-Excuse me. Boys! I need help ASAP.

What is it with men and their phones?

It's urgent!

This is what empathy gets you!

Oh, how I've waited for this!

- Jin, I've gained access. - It's now or never!

Mr. Lung, caring about humans and creatures

doesn't hold me back.

It brings us together!

Come back to us.

-The difference between you and me

is that you think there's still good in the world,

that things can be changed for the better.

But some things just aren't meant to be changed.

-You're right.

We're not the same.

Because I have them.
