02x02 - The Savannah Summit

[bunniefuu]

The Lion Guard.

The Savannah summit.

He won't get away with that.

Grab that Baobab fruit, Fuli!

- I got it!
- Oh, yeah?

Whoa!

That was fun!

You guys, okay?

Yeah, thanks, Beshte.
Just be careful on that ledge.

Hmm. Yes. It is rather dry.

Well, the dry
season is on its way.

Pfft! One dry hillside's
no reason to stop playing.

Now, where is that Baobab fruit?

- Right here!
- Come back here, mtoto!

I'm gonna get it!
I'm gonna get it!

Mtoto, please be home by sunset.

Okay, mom. I'll be home soon.

That was mom. She said I
should come home before sundown.

- Mom? You see his mom anywhere?
- Nope.

And it's kind of hard
to miss an elephant.

Oh! They're using infrasound!

Infant sound? But
mtoto's not a baby!

Not infant sound. Infrasound!

Some animals can talk using
sounds lower than most of us can hear.

It even lets them talk
over long distances.

- Oh.
- No kidding?

Poa!

It's just something
elephants do.

Un-Bunga-lievable!

So you can hear stuff from
all over the pride lands?

- Like what?
- Let me take a listen.

I'm on my way to pride rock.

Sounds like... Ma tembo.

She's headed to pride rock.

- He's right!
- Pretty good, mtoto.

- Yeah, yeah. What else?
- Oh, uh...

Excuse me, I have
to get to pride rock.

Ooh! I hear Twiga.

Sounds like she's
going to pride rock too!

Yup. Twiga's on the move.

Oh, they must be on their
way to the Savannah summit!

The Savannah summit?

It's when the king brings
together key animal leaders

to discuss matters of great
importance to the pride lands.

Dad says getting different animals
to agree helps the circle of life.

Especially with the dry
season approaching.

I'm trying to hear
what mtoto hears.

I don't think it works
that way, Bunga.

Oh, no!

Now I hear a crocodile
headed to pride rock!

- Crocodile?
- Huh?

Hapana! He's right, it's Makuu!

I bet he's trying
to spoil the summit.

He's never cared about
the circle of life. Come on!

'Til the pride lands' end...

Lion Guard defend!

Dad, look out!

You won't ruin the Savannah
summit today, Makuu.

Kion!

- Oh, dear.
- Calm down, cub. I was invited.

You were?

Oh, that's right, Kion.
I invited him myself.

Oh.

And I appreciate the invitation.

You'll see that I take my responsibility
as crocodile leader seriously.

Very seriously.

Not sure I trust him.

Uh, dad, can I talk to you?

- Alone?
- All right.

Excuse us.

Don't worry, Kion.

This guy's not going anywhere.

Dad, you know we've had
a lot of trouble with Makuu.

I don't trust him.

The crocodiles are a part
of the pride lands, Kion.

And Makuu is their leader.

Yeah, but to invite him
to the Savannah summit?

With all these other
peaceful animals?

Crocodiles have always been
invited to the Savannah summit.

Maybe that worked with
pua, the old crocodile leader.

But Makuu? He's got
more enemies than friends.

Kion, you don't have summits
just to talk to your friends.

You have summits to help
turn conflict into friendship.

To build trust.

I think Makuu is ready.

Sire, it's time for
the procession.

Thank you, Zazu.

And Kion? I still need you
and the guard to be on alert.

In case the other animals
aren't ready to accept Makuu.

Okay, dad. Sure.

Your attention, please!

We shall now proceed to mizimu grove for
the beginning of the Savannah summit.

Can you believe
Makuu was invited here?

After everything he
and his crocs have done.

Yes. And we're supposed
to treat him with respect?

We should talk.

Now, now, mustn't dawdle.

King Simba's
Savannah summit awaits.

Poa. So far, everyone
seems to be getting along.

Yeah. Even Makuu's
behaving himself.

I don't know. Makuu might
say all the right things to my dad.

But I still don't trust him. We
need to keep an eye on him.

You know, that'd be
easier to do if he was here.

- What? Where did he go?
- Lion Guard!

- Lion Guard!
- What's the kerbubble, mtoto?

I just heard Makuu. He's
down by the watering hole.

And he sounds really mad.

This is exactly what I was
worried about. Come on!

Wait for me!

Bupu, all we crocodiles do
during the dry season is sleep.

Right. You'll pretend to be
sleeping, so we'll let down our guard.

Isn't this summit supposed to
be about negotiating in good faith?

Good faith? With a croc?

Next you'll tell me
the dry season's wet.

- What?
- I know all about you crocodiles

and your "crocodile way."

Well, no thanks.

Why you...?

That's enough, Makuu!

- Beshte.
- On it, Kion.

Why don't you both take a deep
breath before you say something,

or eat something you'll regret?

I was trying to talk to him.

But it seems there's no point
talking to a jumpy antelope.

You've got that right!

Makuu, I'm warning you.

I won't let anyone ruin
the Savannah summit.

Especially you.

Especially me?

Fine.

I don't want any trouble.

He'll think twice before
tangling with an antelope.

That was close.

Oh, yeah. Simba
would be pretty upset

if his summit ended with
Makuu eating bupu for lunch.

Good thing we got
here when we did.

Yeah. Thanks, mtoto.

Huh? Oh, sure. Glad to help.

Hey, mtoto. You think you
could keep your ears open

for the rest of the summit?

Let us know if you hear
anything suspicious?

Yes, sir!

I'm pretty sure Makuu's
up to something.

So we need to be ready for
any sign of trouble, all of us.

Got to listen. Got to listen.
Listen for any sign of trouble.

Vuruga vuruga, Makuu.

That sounds like trouble to me!

Wait! What exactly did
Twiga say about Makuu?

I'm not sure.

It couldn't have been good.

Everyone knows crocs
and giraffes don't mix.

I'll bet Makuu's
gonna att*ck Twiga!

And ruin the summit.

I bet that's what Makuu's
been planning all along.

'Til the pride lands' end...

Lion Guard defend!

Back off, Makuu!

Makuu?

- Don't worry, Twiga, I'll protect you.
- From what?

- From Makuu, where is he?
- No Makuu here.

- But mtoto heard him.
- Uh, well, no.

I heard Twiga
talking about Makuu.

Me? I wasn't
talking about Makuu.

- Were you talking about Makuu?
- No, why would I talk about Makuu?

How should I know?

I'm just eating branches.
Like a giraffe does.

Me too. Delicious branches.

Uh, vuruga vuruga, aren't
you more of a grass eater?

Buffalo eat whatever we want.

Uh, okay.

Uh, so, Twiga, you're all right?

Oh, yes. Fine. Totally
fine. Thanks for asking.

Now, I'm sure there are
more important matters

at the summit for
you to attend to.

Yeah. Let's go.

That was strange, right?

- We did interrupt their lunch.
- I don't think it was that, little b.

They seemed real nervous.

Especially any time
we mentioned Makuu.

Hmm. What if he threatened
them, and they're too afraid to tell us?

To tell us? But
we're the Lion Guard.

That's how much he
must've scared them.

Just having Makuu here
is hurting the summit.

Good thing mtoto can hear
if anything bad's happening.

Yeah! I wish I could
hear like you, mtoto.

It'd be un-Bunga-lievable!

I'll do my best.

Help!

Hey, I'm getting the
hang of this! I just heard...

- Zazu!
- Yeah, but... we all heard him.

This way.

Mbeya, you must get up.

I cannot finish the portrait
with you sitting down.

Where's Zazu? Is he in trouble?

Did Makuu eat him?

Perhaps, Zazu himself
can explain, eh, Zazu?

Not funny, Rafiki!

At least, you're
right about that.

I'm not getting off until
you apologize, Zazu.

Apologize? Me?

I'm the one with a
rhinoceros on his head.

You think this is
what the king meant

when he asked us to look
out for trouble at the summit?

Not exactly.

He called me clumsy.

No, he didn't. I did.

Uh, Rafiki?

No, no, Kion. It is the lion
guard that must get to the...

Bottom of the situation.

"Bottom!" I get it.

Will someone just tell
me what happened?

I was having a perfectly
nice time when suddenly this...

This hippo with a
horn bumps into me.

Who are you calling a
hippo? I'm a rhino, you baboon!

Who are you calling a baboon?

You are a baboon.

Oh. Right.

But does it matter what
happened? Just get off of me.

Daylight!

I thought I'd never
see you again.

Hey, mbeya, looks like you have
some hornbill stuck on your backside.

Oh, come on, everyone.
It was just an accident.

You're right. Sorry, mbeya.

Uh, that's okay.

Sorry I sat on you, Zazu.

Quite all right.

Rafiki, please tell me this won't
make it into the official portrait.

Not the official one.

Lion Guard, lion
guard, it's Makuu!

All right, bupu,
I've heard enough!

I think he's at pride rock,
and he's yelling at bupu again.

Let's go!

That's right, bupu.

You've got a... got you.

Kion! What are you doing?

Dad? We heard...

You heard us negotiating, cub.

We were just about
to reach an agreement

for the crocodiles to sleep by
the antelopes' watering hole.

Now, bupu, Makuu,
if we can just...

Forget it! How can I trust any
of you if you don't trust me?

This whole summit's a joke!

But Makuu, we were so close.

Don't worry, bupu.
We can try again.

With all due respect, your
highness, I don't see the point.

I've done my best.

But negotiating is obviously
not the crocodile way.

That's not true.

We talked about this, Kion.

I know, dad. But there's
something going on.

I'm not sure what, but Makuu...

Is a new leader.

I need to build his trust.

That's why I included
him in the summit.

But he just wants to ruin it.

You may have ruined it.

I...

I'm sorry, dad.

Then find a way to fix it.

I have to get back to mizimu grove
and salvage what I can of the summit.

You okay, Kion?

- That sounded intense.
- I'll say.

What's Simba so upset about?
We saw bupu. You saved him.

No, I didn't.

- Apparently, bupu didn't need saving.
- He didn't?

You still think something's
going on with Makuu?

I... I don't know.

I need some time to think.

Grandfather Mufasa?

Yes, Kion?

My dad is really upset with me.

And I'm worried that
I ruined his summit.

I didn't mean to. It's just...

I was so sure Makuu
wanted to ruin it.

And what has Makuu
done to make you think this?

Well, he... he...

Nothing really.

But I've got this feeling that
something bad's gonna happen.

And that means
stopping Makuu, right?

Rafiki has a saying about
reaching conclusions too quickly.

"Leap to conclusions,
and you leap to confusions."

Perhaps, you need to figure
out what's truly going on.

Without jumping to conclusions.

Right. Thank you,
grandfather. I'll do my best.

I know you will.

Kion, Kion!

Mtoto just heard
Makuu on the att*ck.

- We gotta go.
- What, Makuu's attacking? Mtoto?

Well, I heard something
about an att*ck.

I'm just not sure
who's attacking who.

It's gotta be Makuu.
Who else could it be?

Easy, Bunga. Let's
not jump to conclusions.

Mtoto, can you listen again?

Going to pay. We'll do it
tonight just after sunset!

They're going to do it
tonight right after sunset.

Who's gonna do
what right after sunset?

I couldn't tell.

Come on, it's Makuu's big plot.

Whatever it is, it's
happening tonight.

Okay. But so far, Makuu
hasn't done anything wrong.

Yes. But it seems like
he's been at the center

of everything mtoto
has heard today.

Yeah, well, he doesn't
exactly get along with anybody.

You're right, Fuli.

Makuu does have a
lot of enemies here.

But he seems like he
wants to change that.

But even if he's
ready to change,

that doesn't mean
everyone else is.

Which means...? What?

Of course!

Makuu's not the one
planning something.

He's the target.

Lion Guard, we've gotta
find Makuu and save him.

Makuu!

Leave me alone, cub.

No, Makuu, listen.

You're in danger!

Are you gonna
pounce on me again?

Relax, Makuu. We're
here to protect you.

You? Protect me?

I'm a crocodile.

What could you
possibly protect me from?

Hapana! It's a trap.

Kion, he's slipping.

Hang in there, Makuu.

What's it look like I'm doing?

Everyone, now!

Thanks, cub.

You're welcome, Makuu.

You call this a trap?

Not a very good one.

I mean, who's gonna
fall into... whoa!

- Bunga!
- I'm okay.

What's that smell?

I think it's rotten fruit.

Mmm, it's not that rotten.

So somebody wanted
me to fall into a pit

filled with rotting fruit.

I'm telling you, it
is not that rotten.

Who would do this?

I'm not sure.

But I have an idea
how we can find out.

Animals of the Savannah summit,

I'm afraid I have some bad news.

I don't know how to say
this, but it's about Makuu.

Earlier this evening,
he fell into a pit.

It was a serious fall.

He tried his best to get out.

He struggled bravely,
like a true crocodile, but...

I'm sorry to say that Makuu

has completed his journey
through the circle of life.

- What?
- That's horrible.

And we were so close to a deal.

We never meant
for him to get hurt.

We just wanted him to
fall into some rotten fruit.

For the last time,
it wasn't that rotten.

You thought you could
take me out with one little pit?

Enough with the gasping.

Makuu?

Makuu, you're okay!

Bunga, you knew that all along.

Oh, yeah.

We didn't wanna hurt you.

Just make you smell bad.

The way you were strutting around
here, we wanted to teach you a lesson.

I came to the summit to
show I'm a good leader,

to help my float
and the pride lands,

but none of you
gave me a chance.

Instead, for my
efforts, I get this.

This plot...

Worthy of a crocodile.

I couldn't have
done it better myself.

I say, let king Simba's
Savannah summit go on!

Nice work, Kion.

You saved the summit.

- Yeah. After I almost ruined it.
- Makuu.

Perhaps, you and your float
should spend the dry season

sleeping near our
watering hole after all.

What are you talking about? The
crocs will sleep by our mud wallow.

No. I think it
should be near us.

Excuse me, son.

I need to get a handle on
this before it gets out of control.

- Mtoto!
- Mom! I forgot.

I'm on my way home
right now. Bye, everybody!

You know, I'm glad I
can't hear like mtoto.

I don't wanna know
everybody's business.

Ha! Just as well.

You'd look pretty
silly with ears that big.
