[Kodi] "Digging Deeper."

New game.

Whoever names the most things in Samala,
is the champion!

Bring it on, sis.

I've been practicing with the one and only
super Samala speaker, DeeDee!

Me too. I bet we can teach the visitors
our Samala language

at the Nature Walk tonight.

Let the games begin.

Spe'y, po'n, and qapuè.

Woo-hoo! Three-pointer for Summer.

Spe'y, po'n, qapuè.

Bug's eye. You did it. Ready, Kodi?

Pfft.

Easy-peasy.

Uh... Spe'y, po'n, and qa... Q...

Almost. It's qapuè. Try again.

That's what I said. Qapu...

It's okay. Keep trying.

Yeah. Don't give up.

[scoffs]

I don't like this game.
Can we play something else?

How about we play
the let's-all-be-quiet-now game? Sh!

[Summer] Aww.

Haku, adorable mole spirit.
I'm Summer. What's your name?

My name's Tanegwa

and I'm trying to hide from a big,
scary monster that wants to get me.

Eep! Did you say mo-mo-monster?

No, I said "big, scary monster."

That's the worst kind of monster.

We should all be hiding.

Why is a monster chasing you, Tanegwa?

Yeah, they usually chase Coyote.

I can't help that I'm so delicious.

I may have made a teeny-tiny mistake.

But it's... it's fine.

-[rumbling]
-[all gasp]

-That must be the monster!
-We better help you hide.

Follow me.

We're right behind you.

[all screaming]

[grunting]

[exclaims, grunts]

[echoing] Whoa!

-[screams] Ghost voice!
-I'm pretty sure that's an echo.

Oh yeah, I always forget that's a thing
that happens in our tunnels.

This is how we mole spirits travel.

-And hide.
-Ooh! This tunnel looks really dangerous.

Who wants to check it out with me?

[echoing] Hello!

-[thudding]
-[Lizard] Yikes!

-Told ya it was dangerous.
-[rumble]

[gasps]

Ah!

What is that?

It's the sound of consequences
coming for me. [pants]

-Buddy. [chuckles] You are an odd one.
-I think I'll try hiding by myself now.

We can help you, Tanegwa.
Let's face this together.

You don't understand.

This problem is too big to face.
I have to keep digging.

Tanegwa, wait!

-[rumbling]
-[gasps]

[thud]

[screams]

That's no monster.

It's a giant mole spirit.

Are you okay?
You're kind of making a big mess.

[in Cherokee]
Tlas yigowata Agilisi Atsutsa?

Nigvi tsiyoga.

[in English]
Um... could you roar that again?

[in Cherokee] Hatlv Agilisi Atsutsa?

[in English] 'Onokok, if we get eaten,

please know that I enjoyed
our thousand years of friendship.

But I've known you way longer than that.

It took me a little while
to warm up to you.

We're Spirit Rangers. Just let us know
how we can help and we will.

[in Cherokee] Nelagawu. Tsiyohesdiwu.

[rumble]

-[In English] What was she saying?
-I don't know what language that was,

but I do know there are two moles loose
in Spirit Park now.

Maybe she'll be careful
and not make too much of a mess.

-[thudding]
-[screaming]

There's a massive mole destroying
everything and making a huge mess!

Somebody do something!

If that mole collapsed this tunnel,
imagine what she'll do to the park.

Let's go!

Fine. Nobody worry about Buffalo.

[thudding]

[ominous music playing]

[Summer] She can't dig into the lake.
That'll flood the park.

[calls]

Hey, Qamash. Want to play?

Playtime! Playtime!

Tickle time!

-[laughing]
-[rumble]

Your turn! Your turn!

Tickles! Tickles!

It worked!

[Summer screams]

-Eh! Ah! Ah!
-[Summer screams]

[yells]

Aah!

[in Cherokee]
Hatlv hedoa, Agilisi Atsutsa?

[in English] Hi, giant mole spirit.
If you wouldn't mind,

could you please stop digging up the park?

Whoa!

Aah!

Bubble barricade!

[Qamash screams]

Qamash dizzy.

Thanks, Eddy.

No! No, no, no, no.

Not my house.

I just had my easy-bug oven
installed yesterday!

Why?!

Sonic bear roar!

[roars]

Aah!

[in Cherokee]
Doyu dulisdoda galvwaditli gadoi.

-[Lizard, in English] Hey, those are mine.
-[Kodi] Ugh, she's unstoppable!

Oh, great. It's gonna take me weeks
to hang these tails back up.

I don't know what else we can do
to stop the mole from digging.

[mole, in Cherokee] Agilisi Atsutsa.

-Hatlv hedoa?
-[in English] What was that?

Tanegwa? What are you doing down here?

Um... well, you know,
hiding, worrying, the usual.

What's really going on, Tanegwa?

[mole, in Cherokee] Tanegwa!

Ah! I don't wanna be eaten
by a monster again.

That mole isn't a monster.

She's my grandma. I call her Utani.

[gasps] Your grandma? That's even scarier.

We're from the Cherokee Nation.
She's looking for me because I ran away.

I'm sorry, everyone.

Oh, she's speaking Cherokee.
That's why we couldn't understand her.

She's trying to teach me our language,
but it's too hard.

There's some Cherokee words I can't even
pronounce right, so I just gave up.

You know, Tanegwa, a wise turtle and hawk
once told me to never quit.

Even though learning
our traditional languages can be hard,

we have to keep trying.

How about we take you back to your grandma
so you can practice more?

-Ii. She can't be far.
-Ii? What does that mean?

Ii means "yes" in Cherokee.

I'll find Utani. Hawk-eye vision.

Oh, feathers!
She's about to dig into Lawetlat'la.

But she's full of hot lava.

We better hurry. Lead the way, Summer.

[suspenseful music playing]

[laughing]

Oh, that tickles.

Oh! Ooh.

Oh, that's probably just Coyote. [giggles]

Silly trickster.

[grunting]

We're too late.
The lava will pour out any minute!

Tanegwa, we need your help.
You're the only one who can talk to her.

[inhales] Utani!

Tanegwa!

Utani, please stop digging. I'm okay.

Look. Everything's okay.

-Woo-hoo!
-[rumbling]

Oh... You and I have a very different
understanding of what "okay" means.

You were saying?

[Eddy] Oh, no!
The lava is flooding the tunnels.

If lava reaches where the tunnels meet,
it'll flood the whole park.

Tanegwa, do you think you can help us
dig our way out of this mess?

Utani, wait here, please.

I'll explain everything later.
Rangers, to the mole hole.

[frantic music playing]

[grunting]

[Eddy] Almost there!

We have to redirect the lava
from the tunnels.

[grunts]

Wind blast! [calls]

Nice one, Summer.

Now we just need to dig back
towards Lawetlat'la.

Ooh, race you there.

You're on!

[screams]

Faster. Let's get the lava back
where it belongs.

Is it just me,
or is it starting to feel toasty in here?

-[sizzling]
-[whimpers]

[screaming]

[Tanegwa] Just a little further.

[screams]

[Coyote] Cool!

-What do we do?
-Everybody, hold on.

-All right!
-We did it.

[Coyote] That's how you do it.

[Kodi] You helped save the park, Tanegwa.

I did? I did! Woo-hoo!

[majestic music playing]

[Tanegwa] Utani!

[in Cherokee] Tanegwa.
Doyu nihi squelihisda.

[in English] Utani,
I'm so sorry I ran away.

I was worried my Cherokee
would never be good enough.

But my new friends showed me
that I can do anything if I keep trying.

[in Cherokee] Higada nulistanv awvgewa,
Agilisi Atsutsa.

Doyu galieliga tsusgiluhisa.

[in English] If you keep
learning Cherokee,

I'll keep practicing my Samala.

Deal. It's up to us
to keep our language alive, Yona.

-Yona?
-That means "bear" in Cherokee.

Oh, hey, Rangers. Did I miss anything?

[all laughing]

Being on Chumash land,
we do our best to practice Samala.

Qa... Qa...

[inhales]

[exhales]

Qapuè.

Good job, Kodi!
You're making your ancestors proud.

I can dig it. [chuckles]
