I had to save this rhino.

I... I...

That's the knife from the man

who took Tally.

Excuse me?

Honey, keep applying pressure.

L-I'm sorry. L-I just...

Oh, thank goodness.

The authorities.

What happened here?

Poachers shot him.

They're at the river.

Please, you must find them.

They took a cheetah cub!

A cheetah.

I recognized their knife.

You have to call Jomo Umbelli.

You know Jomo?

Yes, yes! He's best friends

with my father

Nigel Thornberry.

Just tell him

Eliza found the knife.

He'll know what it means.

We were just at the river.

There was no sign of poachers.

Oh, by the way,

I'm Sloan Blackburn.

We're studying

the endangered wildlife.

There's going to be one

less rhino in the world

if we don't get this

poor guy back to our camp.

My wife, Bree.

She's a wildlife veterinarian.

We'll take him

to the rhino sanctuary.

Eliza, they'll take care of him.

Don't worry.

Eliza, can we give you

a lift somewhere?

You really shouldn't be alone

with poachers out there.

No, thanks. Our camp's

not too far from here.

We have to get back

to our work, Eliza

but I do hope we see you again.

Me, too.

Uh, thanks for your help! Bye!

Why don't we talk about it?

Come on, Dar.

We have to find those poachers.

You mean, we have to find

your parents, don't you?

You saw what those poachers did

to that rhino.

But if they're nearby,

then Tally is, too!

Eliza, no!

If those awful people

see you again, they'II...

well, they'll hurt you.

And I'm not going

to let that happen.

You're right, Darwin.

We can't do this alone.

All right, we'll find

my parents' camp.

It's not far, is it?

We'll get there...

by morning.

Oh! Oh, I wish we'd never left

Lady Beatrice's.

Thunder said there'd be days

like this.

Don't walk away...

So, this cute dude named Jack

plants these magic beans

'cause he's, like, hungry.

Then, a mondo beanstalk

grows overnight

way up into the clouds...

Bush babies-- how annoying.

So, Jack-- who is totally buff,

by the way--

climbs up the beanstalk,

and he finds a golden goose

a golden harp

and a big, scary...

Giant?

Donnie...

Donnie!

Donnie!

Donnie!

Bumpkiss!

You never told me how to land!

Grandmumsy?

It's all in the knees, Cordie!

Colonel?

You're looking well, Deborah.

Do we have kiss for Grandpapa?

I knew I shouldn't have brought

the good china.

Debbie, dreadful news:

Your sister has run away

from Lady Beatrice's.

Under cover of night,

with Darwin.

Excuse me?

Uh, did you say the monkey

got to go to London?

Debbie, are you there? Over.

Mom! Guess who's here?

There's no need

to alarm your parents.

What your grandmama means is

there's no need to have

Marianne blame her

a minute earlier than necessary.

Sorry.

Eliza was seen boarding a train

heading to the Congo.

We take her back to London

the minute she arrives.

Debbie, who's there?

Uh, some really cute

bush babies.

Debbie, did I just hear you call

a wild animal "cute"?

That's called sarcasm, dearest.

Li-Li-Live Long, Live Long

Changin' faces

in the strangest places...

Sure, you can ride with us.

Oh, my owner will never know.

I'm gonna shake the tree,

gonna shake the tree

Let 'em know, let 'em know,

let 'em know

Ha-ha-ha-ha, yeah!

Turning the tide,

you were on the incoming wave

Turning the tide, you know

you are nobody's slave...

How did I end up here?

Amongst chickens...

Souma Yergon

Oh, Sou Nou Yergon

We are shakin' the tree...

Donnie, this may look

like a shark cage

but it's really a playpen.

It's where nice little boys play

when their sisters

want peace and quiet.

Hey, Donnie!

Well, if it isn't

the boarding school dropout

and her sidekick Chimpo.

Save it, Deb.

I need to talk to Mom and Dad.

Well, they're not here.

You can talk to me

and pretend I'm listening.

Where are they?

Off in the jungle,

filming some solar thing.

But the eclipse

isn't until tomorrow.

Whatever.

Fine. I'll call them

on the radio.

Uh-uh-uh!

Don't go in there.

What are they doing here?

Taking you back to England.

Not that you deserve to go.

Well, I'm not going back.

I came back to find Tally,

and that's what I'm going to do.

I just need Dad's help.

What is wrong with you?!

You finally get a chance

to escape our rolling jail

and instead, you come back

like some freaky homing pigeon.

You ruin the family name

and wreck my chance

of ever getting

out of this place.

I don't know about you

but I am not going to

slow dance at my prom

with some purple-butt baboon!

Debbie, leave me alone!

I'm going to find Mom and Dad

and you're not going to stop me.

Oh, yes, I am.

Debbie, no!

Uh, wha...?

Hey! Let me out of here!

Sorry, Deb,

you'll have to take that up

with the warden.

Donnie, bring me the key,

like a nice little animal-boy.

Donnie!

Eww!

Cordie! It's the blitz!

You're dreaming, Raddie.

Wha...?

England is safe.

Jammin'...

When I get my hands

on that ungrateful

troublemaking,

know-it-all sister...

Wow, if I weren't so mad,

this would totally rock.

Hey, get back here!

Oh, man!

Oh! Hello.

Both of my daughters

are missing?

But the good news is

the chimpanzee turned up

in England.

But never mind that now.

Debbie left a note.

"Don't freak."

That's Deborah talking, not I.

"Took the Congocon

to find Donnie

"who followed Eliza.

"She's going to some valley.

Later, Debbie."

My children are

in the jungle alone.

We'll find them, lovely.

I say, Dad

are you there?

Right here, my boy.

You'll have to pick us up

down river.

I'll give you our coordinates.

Can you triangulate

our position?

They didn't call me Colonel

for my chicken recipe, huh?

Fire away.

Here I am driving around

this sweaty jungle,

looking for my ungrateful sister

when I could be sitting

in front of the AC

watching part two

of "Before They Were Teens."

Ooh, who smells?

'Cause it's completely

overpowering

my vanilla-ginger body splash.

Donnie!

Donnie?

Donnie!

Wait, wait, wait.

Wait, wait, wait.

Wait, wait, wait, wait,

wait, wait, wait, wait.

Does this, uh... human

belong to anyone?

Thanks.

I hope he wasn't any trouble.

Not really.

But you might want to tell him

that when a gorilla

is sleeping

he doesn't want a dung beetle

shoved up his nose.

We're hoping it's just a phase.

Oh!

I'm looking for my parents.

Have you seen two people

on the way to Tembo Valley?

Two people.

Were they riding in

those loud whirlybirds?

Uh, do you mean helicopters?

Eliza, it might be the poachers.

Did you see them?

Did they have a cheetah cub

with them?

I only saw the whirlybirds

land on the ground.

And then I saw people

putting a fence

across the valley.

A fence? What for?

Something's up.

What's the quickest way

to the valley?

Follow the river.

Be careful.

Dar, get Donnie.

Donnie, this is no time

for your games.

Don't force it, Chimp.

It'll come out

in its own good time.

Oh!

So, you see, as many

as a thousand elephants will

converge during the eclipse.
