Bigfoot I Love You (2026)

[bunniefuu]

(projector whirring)

(upbeat music)

(singing in foreign language)

(birds chirping)

(ominous music)

(person roaring)

(suspenseful music)

(person panting)

(twigs snapping)

(suspenseful music continues)

(person roaring)

(voices chanting)

(person laughing)

(propellors whirring)

No, no, no!

(g*n firing)

(laughing) You've lost your pride.

(ominous music)

No.

Please.

Please.

I have a daughter.

(g*n firing)

(Hunter speaking in foreign language)

(light music)

(voices harmonizing)

(waves crashing)

(singing in foreign language)

(water bubbling)

(Zadie exhaling)

(light music continues)

(brush scrubbing)

Action.

And that was the best day ever.

Pretty good, right?

It's 'cause you're such

a good director, Zadie.

That's why.

Do it again, Dad.

-Again? No way.

-(somber music)

It was perfect

-Again.

-Okay.

She wants me to do it again.

Miss him?

(water running)

Was he really that bad in the end?

He was crazy.

He dressed in camouflage

and ran around in the woods

until somebody shot him.

Must have been hard on you.

We were separated a long time.

Now, your Uncle Shizzle,

now that's the kind of

crazy that worked out.

Breakfast?

(soft music)

[Child] But I wanna play Bruce Lee.

Let your Grandpa Shizzle sleep.

He was at an after party with

Martha Stewart last night

and he needs his rest.

[Child] But I wanna play.

[Mother] Come on, do what you're told.

(tense music)

(Shizzle groaning)

(dramatic music)

Where am I?

No matter.

(Shizzle chanting)

(creature moaning)

Somebody there?

(dramatic music continues)

[Voice] We have met before.

Who are you?

[Voice] I must speak to you of Zadie.

Biggie, is that you?

[Le Grand Pied] You can

call me Le Grand Pied.

(energetic classical music)

Thanks.

It's good, thank you.

What?

Updates to the personal checklist?

Changed some of the words.

Made it a little easier to remember.

Can we go through it?

I'm not really in the

mood to do that, you know?

Well, in light of you

getting this new gig, might be.

Yes.

Yeah, okay.

-You're right.

-Mm hm.

And thank you again for the NASA video.

Don't sell yourself short.

You got that all on your own merit.

-Okay.

-(dog barking)

-Is that Kaya?

-Mm hm.

Yeah, we're getting

dad's old lenses today.

Uh, okay, but does he

have to be in on this?

I mean, he's my best friend.

And my DP, so yes.

He doesn't always get along.

Yeah, that's true.

But, he'll be doing the filming,

I'll be doing the talking.

It's okay.

(hand knocking)

(bubbly music)

(engine revving)

Let me out, let me out

Or you're gonna have a new best

Maybe if we seriously

k*ll it on this video,

it'll lead to something real.

Like the ocean.

(traffic rushing)

Gimme a, gimme a gig

I am a real thing

Let me out, let me out

Let me go have a real bad time

(paper rustling)

Oh, your father was cute.

Yeah, the ladies really liked him.

Ah, I bet the boys too.

Huh?

Oh my God.

Look?

[Kaya] Cool, plug it in.

(Zadie shouting)

-We'll give it a second.

-Yeah.

Hey, here we go.

(Zadie grunting)

-Oh.

-Ready?

Dun dun duh duh!

Ah.

Uh huh.

Yeah.

Yeah, these are great.

I mean, I need to get an adapter to fit,

but they should function.

Of course, I have to do image test first.

(Zadie speaking in foreign language)

Hitler jokes (both laughing)

Aren't funny.

I know, I'm sorry

Ah.

Should I do a 9/11 joke or?

-No?

-Please don't.

No? Okay.

(phone trilling)

It's hot.

(tense music)

(laughing) Oh my God.

This thing is ancient.

It's back when people had home buttons.

Yeah, it's quaint, you know?

Press a button, you go home.

On the cave walls in Normandy,

I saw fresh paintings with

the same carotenoid pigments

as those used by Neanderthals.

But as a scientist, let me assure you

that what I saw was something

more, something magical,

which gave me an orgasmic

tingle through my entire body.

(static crackling)

What?

Whoa.

Doesn't seem crazy.

He doesn't seem crazy to me.

Orgasmic tingle?

Bigfoot is French?

Yeah, seems crazy to me.

Well then, something like

this could be proof, yeah?

(light music)

Seemed like he thought it

was some kind of caveman.

And that didn't seem crazy.

But this,

no, it's probably a fake.

Even if it is,

this is what we've

always been looking for.

A juicy story.

I know, it is so juicy.

Mm hm.

It would make a great duck.

It would.

Yeah.

Someday, okay?

Because in a weeks' time,

using only the magic of cinema,

we have to turn 85 NASA

administrators into straight up Gs.

(upbeat music)

Oh.

Oh my God.

(phone ringing)

Didn't even know that thing worked.

Hello?

[Shizzle] Little Zadie, that you?

Um, yes, Uncle Shizzle.

I need to see you, immediately.

(dialtone beeping)

They don't even know it is

They're living the life

Their life, their time

You cannot control them

Let me out, let me out

Let me go have a real bad time

(engine rumbling)

I had a dream about a magical creature.

(mystical music)

And you were in it.

Your dad was telling the

truth the whole time.

The reason I know, I

had an encounter myself.

With Bigfoot?

(chuckling) Yeah, little Kayla.

Well, my name is actually...

In my dream, he went by Le Grand Pied,

and he was a badass.

(ball bouncing)

I'm looking after my grandson.

Knows I'm in monk training,

and could think of nothing

better than to get my goat.

But as you could see

(inhaling), I am unmoved.

(Ricky hissing)

Love that kid.

That's quite charming.

Back in the day, I was in Paris,

and found out my friend Shaka

grew up near where your dad was

running around in the woods.

So we went to visit,

figured I could talk some sense into him.

First night there, I was out

having my nightcap smoke.

We look around, he came out the trees,

he locked eyes with me,

and I felt the tingle all through my body.

It's just like...

Your dad made me swear not to tell.

Said I saw a magical beast.

-Did you?

-(tense music)

All these years, I never knew.

Until today, when in my dream,

he asked me to send you to

France 'cause he needs your help.

Me?

Why me?

What sort of help does he need?

Didn't say

-(suspenseful music)

-Hyah, hyah.

Stand down, Ricky Santino.

Hyah, hyah!

(Shizzle shouting)

You leave me no choice!

(Shizzle chanting)

(Ricky groaning)

(body crashing)

(dramatic music continues)

Sweet dreams, little warrior.

Now, I'm not going to

tell you how I know this,

but I've learned in my life

when a magical creature calls,

you better listen.

And from the tone of

this one, sounds urgent.

So, if you want to go find Le Grand Pied,

I'll be happy to send you.

Me too?

Yeah, lil Kayla.

I figured you could be Zadie's protector.

My name's Kaya, but yes, I will do this.

Can we have a sec?

Of course.

The video's in six days.

So we do this first,

and we get back before.

We get back in time?

Yeah.

(hand slapping)

We're in.

All right, I'll tell

Shaka you're coming.

I'll be busy, but you can call me on this.

This is for you, protector.

Make sure you keep her safe.

Yeah, understood.

Word of warning.

Your dad told me

that when Le Grand Pied

talks in people's minds,

it brings danger.

I thought he was paranoid,

but after my dream today,

y'all can't be too careful.

(speaker screeching)

[Ricky] Grandpa, you don't

fight 'cause you scared.

Bawk bawk, Grandpa.

-(hand slamming)

-Oh hell no.

That's gonna be

consequences, Ricky Santino!

(engine rumbling)

Oh, it's so cool, I'm literally shaking.

I know.

But is this a bad idea?

I'm supposed to be responsible.

This is a great idea.

Think about it.

You might even find out what

happened to your father.

Okay.

-Okay.

-Okay?

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-Yah, yah!

-(engine revving)

(horn honking)

Where's it goin'

I believe in the tale of the women

(ominous music)

(upbeat music)

(jets roaring)

(glasses clinking)

(singing in foreign language)

(Zadie speaking in foreign language)

The cat sh*t in the garden?

(both speaking in foreign language)

(singing in foreign language)

(energetic music)

(both laughing)

(jets roaring)

(laughing) Look.

(electronic dinging)

(person speaking in foreign language)

(phone vibrating)

Hi, Mom.

Are you in bed yet?

Um, no, not yet.

You?

I'm in bed, but I'm not sleeping.

(person speaking in foreign language)

Where are you?

Uh, Kaya and I are at a

screening of a foreign film.

Alright, funsies.

Okay, well I feel better.

I can sleep now.

-Thank you.

-No problem.

But listen, we should go

because it's about to start.

Enjoy (chuckling).

(heavy music)

(singing in foreign language)

(Zadie laughing)

(singing in foreign language continues)

Feel completely lost.

(gasping) Look, locals.

Okay.

Hi, Do you guys know

we're at 31 du Valle is?

Aren't you going to ask

me if I speak English?

Right.

Sorry (chuckling).

Um, do you?

This is 31 du Valle.

It's just very hard because

it doesn't have any numbers.

Mm hm.

Yes, it is that way for a reason.

(both speaking in foreign language)

We're here to see Shaka Pari.

You're here to see Shaka Pari?

No, no.

A lot of people are client.

But you can't just walk

in here and see Shaka.

Oh, well we're expected.

My uncle's an old friend

and he called ahead.

(chuckling) Who's your uncle?

Right, who the hell are you?

(person speaking in foreign language)

Look, Kaya, it's fine.

I'm Zadie James and my uncle is Shizzle.

It's Shizzle.

Okay (laughing).

Prove it.

Prove it, okay.

Do you guys have like a secretary

or somebody else

(speaking in foreign language)

I could talk to?

I don't know what you're saying.

(Akil speaking in foreign language)

Hey, hi.

You Zadie, right?

-That's me.

-Cool.

My name is Akil.

-Hi.

-Nice to meet you.

So if you guys come with

me, then we'll just, um.

(group in foreign language)

Come.

(energetic music)

(singing in foreign language)

Bonjour, I'm Shaka.

I have to say I'm not

very happy with the Shiz.

He calls after years, and

doesn't ask about my life.

Nothing.

Just wants a favor.

Oof.

Yeah, that's not nice.

Not cool.

I thought he would

congratulate me for my album.

No.

He gave me no attention.

Nothing.

Ah!

(Shaka sighing)

Well, you know, I'm sure he will.

He's just been really busy

watching his grandson.

Yeah, it's true.

Ms. Pari?

Shaka.

Honestly, I never heard

of you before today,

but now that I have,

I'm gonna listen to everything

you've ever written.

Because you're one of the coolest people

in the entire world.

Yeah, so cool.

[Zadie] Yeah.

So kind.

I'm cool.

Cool person.

Cool chick.

Alright, Zadie James, I'm gonna

help you and your boyfriend.

-Oh, God no.

-Oh, what?

No.

-But first.

-Eh, screw it.

You better hear what I have to say.

(tense music)

Back in the day,

I took Shizzle to the

village where I grew up.

The first night there, he saw something,

which to me sounded like a circus bear.

I hate circuses.

So naturally, I didn't

wanna talk about it.

He seemed to think it

was more than just a bear.

Yeah, he did.

Well, whatever it was,

I'm afraid you may be too late.

About a month ago, the country

policeman shot two bear

in the woods near our village.

So, well, there's a good chance

that what you're looking

for is already dead.

-(engine rumbling)

-So, are you sure?

We have to find out for ourselves.

Yeah.

(bright music)

Let's go.

(engine revving)

(tense music)

(bright music continues)

These tracks from when I was 12 years old

living in Atlanta.

You believe that?

No, wow.

Been rapping my whole life, you know?

Always a fan of Shizzle, LBC, Hood Life.

You know what I mean?

-I do, yeah.

-Yah, yah.

But I think when I put out a single,

it's gonna be beat boxing.

You know why?

Because that's my f*cking gift.

I love that, beat boxing.

So, your single's just

going to be beat boxing

and nothing else/

-Yeah, exactly.

-That's great.

I think it's a good idea.

But here, let me just

throw some at you, okay?

Okay, okay.

-Sure.

-Sure.

-You ready?

-Yeah.

Listen.

(Akil beat boxing)

[Zadie] That's so good.

You like it?

-Oh yeah.

-Yes.

Wow.

Can't wait to listen

to a whole song of that.

Thanks for sharing that with us.

-Yeah.

-(light music)

(engine revving)

We're here.

Wake up, guys.

Welcome in Normandy, guys.

(light music continues)

[Zadie] Oh my gosh.

Okay guys, so for lodging

here, you have two choices.

You can first stay at the

hostel, run by the mayor,

(ominous music)

Or if you want, you can rent a room

from Jean-Claude, the angry farmer.

On the right side.

(suspenseful music)

(ax chopping)

-Hostel.

-Hostel, yeah.

-Hostel.

-Yeah.

Okay, but one thing you should know

is people here generally

fall in two factions.

Okay, those who love the

mayor and those who hate her.

Which side are you on?

You know, me and Shaka are on team Mayor

'cause she's a big fan of Shaka

and she lets me crash in

the town hall sometimes.

So, you know.

That's nice.

Yeah, of course.

(engine rumbling)

Hey, what does that sign say?

Closed.

Mayor at meeting.

Rule-breakers will be punished.

Yeah.

Ah.

Okay.

(whimsical music)

(people whistling)

-(bell ringing)

-Norby, my man.

[Norby] Akil!

Royalty in the house from LA.

California, baby.

-Hi.

-You don't say.

Home of the silver screen.

Come on then, what are we drinking?

Um, anything local we should try?

Cider made from apples

grown right around here.

-Delicious.

-Okay, yeah.

This place is really charming.

-Yah, it's really cute.

-Thank you.

I run it with my partner over there.

He's been putting up with me for 20 years.

Barely.

(Norby laughing)

So, we hear that

there's a feud going on.

Which side are you on?

Ah.

Me, I'm Switzerland.

Never take sides, never get upset,

unless of course you insult

my favorite band, AOB.

Oh yeah, of course.

Who is AOB?

Ace of Base, obviously.

Look, I might be neutral,

but the pub's not.

The drunks in here,

they're all on the side of

the mayor's older sister,

Lady Noire, who they knew as

an opera singer in her youth.

(operatic singing)

So what started all of this?

Well, after Lady Noire

inherited everything

from her parents, her

little sister became mayor.

She then passed a law

saying that no one in the village

was allowed to speak to her.

Lady Noire now lives cooped up

with her maid in the family mansion.

That's so sad.

Yeah, but she's not forgotten.

One night a month, folk

round here raise a glass

when Lady Noire sings to the setting sun.

-Sounds nice.

-Yah.

So I have to ask, why Ace of Base?

Was this like something

that you grew up with?

Why?

Because they're the

best European band ever.

Undisputed.

Well, I think that maybe, actually,

that Abba is what you're saying.

Abba?

-Yeah.

-Abba are drivel.

AoB's got meaning.

Abba's just dancey shite.

Yeah, but Abba is, you

know, has a larger fan base.

-Kaya.

-Has way,

what are they called?

-Way more hits and singles.

-Get out.

You know that they were

offered half a billion.

-(Kaya chukling)

-I'm sorry.

He didn't mean to insult you or anything...

Out, before I beat you with a bat.

I'd like to see it over Ace of Base.

-Come on, Kaya.

-Really?

[Norby] Off you go, south rat.

Completely better.

Why'd you say that?

You always piss people off.

Sorry, but I'm right.

Zadie.

Zadie James!

(camera whooshing)

I heard you were coming.

So now, I will book you into the hostel.

But, quickly.

(mayor speaking in foreign language)

(easygoing music)

(engine rumbling)

(spoon clattering)

If you leave everything as you found it,

there will be no problem.

Otherwise, cleaning fee.

(horse neighing)

For untidiness, you will be blamed,

as there is no one else here.

Of course.

Question.

Have you heard about anyone

seeing a Bigfoot around here?

In French, you call it Le Grand Pied.

Young woman, we do

not talk of this thing.

(tense music)

Our village is known for

cider, not conspiracies.

(horse braying)

Filthy animal.

Now, we check the wound for damages.

Seems extreme.

Follow me.

Okay.

(mayor speaking in foreign language)

(militant music)

Since you were in the pub,

I'm sure you heard there's

a village ordinance.

Don't talk to your sister.

-Correct.

-(crop snapping)

She influenced voting and

must suffer consequences.

It seems more personal than that.

It is.

I despise her.

Because of the inheritance?

Because I was in love with a woman

and she turned our Catholic

parents against me.

(somber music)

But now, she cannot have

what she truly craves.

Attention.

Seems extreme.

Keep up.

You thinking what I'm thinking?

Why not?

We can't sleep.

(dog barking)

(insects chirping)

(tense music)

Yah, this will be good.

So, maybe we walk and talk this way.

-Okay.

-Right.

All right.

I'm ready.

(electronic beeping)

On this dark night in

the forest of Normandy,

we are here seeking evidence

of the supernatural.

Apparently, the mysterious

Bigfoot is in France,

and he has invited me to an audience.

Is that cheesy?

-(electronic beeping)

-Yah, it is cheesy.

Okay.

(laughing) Okay.

Why don't you go sh**t B roll

and I'll gather my thoughts.

Cool.

Okay.

Um,

uncovering the truth

insight of a myth.

Bigfoot is in France.

[Kaya] Zadie.

Yeah?

I think you need to

come take a look at this.

(tense music)

Oh my God.

-You think?

-I don't know.

But whatever made this

definitely had opposable thumbs.

Yeah.

Okay.

We are here seeking evidence

of the supernatural.

And I think we may have found something.

The twisting of these branches

could only be done by something powerful,

perhaps even primal.

(g*n firing)

(dramatic music)

Uh, how was that?

[Kaya] Little late for hunting.

(g*n firing)

Come on, let's get the hell out here.

(g*n firing)

(dramatic music continues)

I think somebody didn't want us

-up there.

-Oh my God.

(light music)

(lighter flicking)

(both speaking in foreign language)

(tense music)

(grass rustling)

(birds chirping)

13,

3 o'clock.

We overslept.

Oh.

-Kaya.

-What?

Kaya, get up.

We have to go.

I keep it now.

(hand knocking)

(easygoing music)

(phone speaking in foreign language)

(homeowner speaking in foreign language)

(door closing)

Well, that was rude.

(hand knocking)

(phone speaking in foreign language)

(both speaking in foreign language)

(door slamming)

(phone speaking in foreign language)

Uh, no, I have not seen

this, but I know one who has.

Come.

(door closing)

(machinery whirring)

His name is Jean-Claude.

Oh, what, like that hunky farmer guy

with all the rooms for rent?

Mm.

Oh, were you lovers?

In love, but too scared to say.

-So sad.

-Yeah, very sad.

From the mud of a

stream, he made a plaster.

And when he left it in the pub, I took it.

I will give you this proof

if I can have private time with him.

What?

Private time?

What, for what?

To feed him and watch him eat.

Ew. No.

That's creepy, clog lady.

No, no.

I'll do this.

-Yah.

-What?

Look, we need to evidence.

Plus, I'm not not into it.

-(speaking in foreign language)

-Oh my gosh.

Wow.

That's huge.

Yeah, well, you know

they say about big feet.

Big clog.

(Kaya chucking)

You sure you're gonna be okay here?

Yah, mm hm.

Okay.

Um, well I guess while y'all are here,

I'll just go check out the farmer

and see what I can coax out of him.

You know, maybe rent a couple of rooms

with like actual beds.

Yah, do that.

Okay.

-Alright.

-Yah.

-Okay.

-Go.

So, we're going to be eating

something, huh (laughing)?

(tense music)

(group speaking in foreign language)

(birds chirping)

(engine rumbling)

[Akil] Here we go.

Jean-Claude's chateau.

(singing in foreign language)

Are you not coming with me?

He knows you're coming.

I gotta buy you some smoke

for my homeboy before he runs out.

You feel me?

Okay.

(engine rumbling)

Hi.

I'm Zadie.

My friend and I are

renting a couple of rooms.

Akil said he called you.

Hi.

(door closing)

You must be Jean-Claude.

(Jean-Claude speaking in foreign language)

I don't speak French.

(Jean-Claude speaking in foreign language)

That sounds so pretty.

(rooster crowing)

Wow.

(happy music)

(Jean-Claude speaking in foreign language)

(Zadie whistling)

How many rooms are here?

Do you rent all of those?

So cool.

Here we are.

Great.

And the other room is...

(speaking in foreign language)

Can we rent two rooms please?

(Jean-Claude speaking in foreign language)

Okay, geez, we'll make this work.

Hey.

Here we are.

Oh, this is charming.

(Jean-Claude speaking in foreign language)

Again, not a word.

In English.

Thanks.

You know, you're not so mean.

Are you sure you don't

speak a little English?

(Jean-Claude speaking in foreign language)

Okay, good.

We're getting along.

So, can I show you something?

The lovely clog lady gave us this.

And she was saying that you

might have had a sighting of...

(Jean-Claude speaking in foreign language)

Yeah, okay, fine.

Take it.

You know what, I take it back.

You are mean.

And I was only asking

because I was called

to find Le Grand Pied.

(soft music)

(Jean-Claude speaking in foreign language)

(Jean-Claude crying)

(soft music continues)

(door closing)

That was a start.

[Kaya] It was so delicious.

Like, and the entire time I was eating,

she kept calling me Jean-Claude.

She really loves him.

It's quite beautiful.

Yeah, well I don't see why.

He's a maniac.

Wouldn't let me translate with my phone.

And then he started crying

like out of nowhere.

Ah.

(voices clamoring)

Don't worry.

I'll get us in.

I don't know how.

(all laughing)

(group speaking in foreign language)

Um, so he's still mad.

-Yeah.

-Okay.

But he's gonna let us sit in the back.

-Good.

-Come on.

(lively music)

(glasses clinking)

(voices clamoring)

I wonder what's going on out there.

(Kaya speaking in foreign language)

Tonight's the night Lady

Noire sings to the setting sun.

Will we be able to see her from here?

No, not from here.

But if you creep up on her,

I won't tell my partner.

Okay.

Sounds good, thank you.

But if by chance you see her wooden arm,

don't say anything.

People are protective of Lady Noire.

She has a wooden arm?

Shh.

She has a wooden arm.

(lively music continues)

(glasses clinking)

Psst, Lady Noire.

Lady Noire!

(traffic rushing)

(Lady Noire singing in foreign language)

(bell dinging)

(soft piano music)

(dramatic music)

(Bigfoot groaning)

(all singing in foreign language)

Oh my God.

-He's here.

-Bigfoot?

[Zadie] He likes the singing.

(all singing in foreign language)

(dramatic music continues)

Come on!

These shoes were meant

for fashion, not running.

Do you see him?

Do you see where he went?

Did you get anything on your phone?

-'Cause I didn't.

-I didn't have my phone out.

He really blends in with

everything, doesn't he?

Sick of "Where's Waldo" here.

(whimsical music)

(horse neighing)

Oh, yes.

Yes.

Big girl.

You're a big, big girl, yes.

Let's go.

Filthy girl.

(phone vibrating)

Hello?

Madam Mayor, I need your help.

Shaka.

It is so good to hear from you.

How can I help?

Zadie James and her friends need to go.

Can you find a reason to

throw them out of the village?

(ominous music)

I think so.

But why?

We are organizing a hunt, you and I.

And it's best if they're not there.

But it is not hunting season.

For me, it is.

(ominous music continues)

Shaka.

(moter revving)

13:06 o'clock?

Dang it.

(Zadie sighing)

Why?

Come on, we have to go.

We overslept.

We don't have to do anything.

Stop.

If you're going to spank

me, at least do it harder.

-(hands pounding)

-Yeah.

Okay, okay.

Oh, what the hell is with this jet lag?

I'm so tired, I want to k*ll a baby duck.

A duckling?

Yeah, whatever.

I don't care.

Just k*ll it.

How about coffee instead?

Oh my God.

(Zadie giggling)

Mm.

The hell is that?

(ominous music)

Yeah, what the F?

(phone vibrating)

(sighing) I can't

deal with her right now.

You're gonna have to deal

with this and talk to her soon.

I will tell her the truth.

I will.

Okay.

Now, if I was a hunky farmer,

where would I hide my key?

(light music)

(Zadie chuckling)

Now, where would you hide your key?

Is it one of those?

No.

Okay.

Yeah, I don't know, Kaya.

He could be back any minute.

Hey, no risk, no frisk, baby.

All right.

(phone vibrating)

I can do this?

[Kaya] You got this, queen.

Thanks.

(Zadie exhaling)

You wouldn't believe

how much NASA spent on

my dinner last night.

Mom, I need to tell you something.

All right, sneaky little farmer boy.

(whimsical music)

Oh.

Ooh?

(key clattering)

Moo, moo,

you sneaky little devil, you.

Ah.

I am serious, Mom.

Zadie, don't be foolish.

What you saw was fake.

Okay, whatever it

was, I need to find out.

'Cause I need to know

what happened to Dad.

So this is about your father.

You're turning into your father.

No, I'm, I'm not, okay?

But I just,

I won't be home in time for the video.

I'm sorry.

Apology not accepted.

You better get your a*s back here

or you'll never be hired by NASA again

and you'll be fired as my roommate.

What does that even mean?

It means

that you will have to find

your own damn place to live.

-Mom...

-Don't mom me.

I trusted you, and you're letting me down.

Sorry.

But I'm staying.

(phone beeping)

Zadie.

You have to see this.

(tense music)

A sneaky farmer.

It's a secret.

(Zadie chuckling)

-Oh.

-Mm.

Ooh, what's this?

This is the Pacific Northwest.

Yeah, he's been posting pics and vids

of sightings there for years now.

Whoa.

Yeah, and then using an anonymous server

to cover his tracks.

So, rugged farmer and tech nerd?

-Mm.

-That's kinda hot.

Mm.

But why would he do all of this?

To protect Le Grand Pied, of course.

You speak English.

Your father saved the creature

by fooling the Hunter

and leading him astray.

Wait, who's the Hunter?

An evil spirit created

to k*ll magical creatures.

(soft music)

For 10 years, I held up the ruse

and kept him on a false trail in America.

Oh.

Young lady, it was I who

frightened you in the forest

to try and scare you away.

You see, if Le Grand Pied

contacts you in your mind,

it will bring the Hunter here.

So, you must leave (sobbing).

No, I can't leave.

I have to find out what it wants from me.

(Jean-Claude crying)

Why so emotional?

Because I love Le Grand

Pied, and have seen him suffer.

It's unbearable.

What did you see?

I saw him lose his mate.

[Both] Mate?

A month ago.

He was k*lled by the country policeman

who thought he was a bear.

How terrible.

Yeah.

Le Grand Pied keeps to himself.

But from afar, I have watched him suffer.

(Jean-Claude crying)

Oh my God, yikes.

(light music)

Gorgeous.

Yah, go ahead.

[Zadie] Do we really think her singing

will draw him out of the forest?

[Kaya] It's worth a try.

[Zadie] Okay.

(light music continues)

The law says you cannot be

seen talking to mademoiselle.

She's a perfect Catholic

and cannot cause a lie.

So, you will wear these.

What about you?

Follow this string to

where she waits in the salon.

(tense music)

I apologize for not greeting you.

I must wear the mask as well

if I cannot be dishonest,

even with the cruelty that

has been thrust upon me.

Um, that's okay, Lady Noire.

You sound close.

So, let's be almost there.

(whimsical music)

[Kaya] Zadie.

-Made it.

-(tray clattering)

Bloody hell.

-Oh.

-Monsieur,

there will be no cursing

in this house, young man.

(Kaya chuckling)

(dish clattering)

(Kaya speaking in foreign language)

Kaya.

I'm trying.

I'm trying.

I'm sorry.

Shh.

Sorry.

Now, what brings you here today?

We are filmmakers.

We heard you sing, and we

wanna film you singing.

Yah, to the setting sun.

Surrounded by nature.

(Lady Noire speaking in foreign language)

How thrilling.

Oh merde, let's take

off these silly things

so that way we can see each other.

Now, you are an American film director?

I am.

Mm, too bad.

I hate American film.

They lack style.

This one will be more European in style.

Really?

- Mm hm

- Yah,

I'm the cinematographer

and I'm from Austria.

Hmm.

Well, his dad is a famous DP.

Huge.

Yah, huge.

Well, in that case, I will do it.

When do we start?

Today, if possible.

Wonderful.

[Kaya] Yah.

But before we work together,

it is important that I share with you

the truth about my sister.

-Sure.

-Yah, okay.

Marie-Claire,

tea by the fire.

(fire crackling)

She was always evil, my sister.

(tense music)

She hated me because I

had all of the talent

and she had none.

So I begged my parents to exorcise her,

but alas, they did not.

(tray rattling)

Marie-Claire, you may remove the mask.

It is no longer needed.

No, mademoiselle.

When she was a teenager,

my sister went wild.

Taking drugs,

having delusions that

Shaka Pari had kissed her.

But there was no kiss.

(tense music continues)

What really happened

was she was arrested for stalking Shaka.

My parents were so embarrassed

that they disowned her.

And then they died.

Left, left, yep.

Yep, yep.

Yep.

(Kaya speaking in foreign language)

Marie-Claire, you are ridiculous.

I'm keeping the honor

of the house, madam.

No, you are making a fool of me.

Can you not remember your place for once?

Oui, madame.

Oui, madame.

(tray clattering)

Forgive her.

She means well.

(glass shattering)

(dramatic music)

Blessings on you.

[Laura] Are you out of your goddam mind?

I am free from his constraints.

Yes.

But if you're referring as Zadie,

I sent her after being

contacted by the supernatural.

Oh, is that it?

You did that without consulting me first.

You would've said no.

Damn right.

Because it's nonsense, dangerous nonsense.

I disagree on this, sister.

Shizz, I wanna believe

in this stuff, I do.

If I found out there

were supernatural beings,

I'd put my feet up and

start smoking pot again.

But it's not true.

It's fantasy.

I respectfully disagree.

(phone beeping)

(dramatic music)

(Shizzle inhaling)

(Shizzle exhaling)

(lively music)

Look alive.

What is that?

Oh, that's my new iguana, Sophie.

Disgusting.

We will talk about it later.

You are needed on a

mission for me and Shaka.

(water rushing)

(birds chirping)

Yes.

This is the place.

-Yah.

-Yeah?

Ah, the beauty of nature.

(tense music)

You look wonderful.

Okay, are we rolling?

Rolling.

And.

(sweeping classical music)

(Lady Noire singing in foreign language)

Not bad.

Yah.

(Lady Noire speaking in foreign language)

(birds chirping)

Hope this works.

[Kaya] Me too.

(sweeping classical music continues)

(Lady Noire singing in foreign language)

[Zadie] Come on, where are you?

(sweeping classical music continues)

Zadie, blessed daughter.

Yes?

(light snapping)

(both moaning)

Oh, sh*t.

(Lady Noire singing in foreign language)

(both moaning)

(fuse sizzling)

(firecrackers banging)

(Bigfoot growling)

(dramatic music)

(birds chirping)

(Zadie giggling)

(angelic music)

(motor whirring)

Mm.

(angelic music)

What's going on?

I don't know, you tell me.

I was just having a dream about.

[Both] Le Grand Pied.

Yeah.

Well, I was having a dream about him too.

Yah?

Okay, so you're not the

only one that's special.

What is that supposed to mean?

I had a connection with him.

Me too.

I could smell him.

I took in his scent.

Oh, you didn't take in his scent, did you?

He made eye contact with

me and he spoke into my mind.

I doubt he made eye contact with you.

The lighting wasn't right for it.

Oh, yes it was.

You can't be too sure.

Oh, I am sure.

Shall we check the footage?

I didn't film.

What?

Are you serious?

Oh my God.

You didn't film anything?

I was having an experience.

Okay, so you couldn't point the camera

in the right fricking direction?

I'm sorry.

Sorry?

Oh, Kaya, we have nothing to show now.

I said I was sorry!

Sorry's not good enough, okay?

My mom was right about you.

(Kaya sobbing)

Okay, there you go.

Crying.

Cool.

Yeah.

Okay, Kaya, fine.

I'm sorry.

No.

You do this by yourself.

[Zadie] What?

You do this by yourself?

Look, Kaya, hey, I said I'm sorry.

I don't care what you want.

Doesn't matter what you say.

Ah ha.

If you cannot follow the rules,

then you must leave at once.

What are you talking about?

I had Akil follow you,

and he said you broke the unbreakable law.

That can't be a real law.

Don't worry, I'm getting away from here

and all of you rotten French people.

I just need a ride to the train station.

Akil will drive you boat to Paris.

That is it.

I'm not going with her.

If you can't give me a ride, I'll walk.

Wait.

-Kaya.

-Stupid girl.

I told you Le Grand Pied was in danger.

You must go.

Le Grand Pied?

Ridiculous.

Akil saw only a circus bear.

No, please just let me stay.

No.

If you are not out as

a village in one hour,

I will have the country

policeman drag you out!

(Jean-Claude sobbing)

(somber music)

(Zadie crying)

Hi.

[Laura] You don't sound so good.

[Zadie] Everything fell apart.

What happened?

We saw Le Grand Pied,

and I thought that it

spoke to me in my mind.

-But...

-You may have imagined it.

I'm sorry, sweetie.

Thanks.

You know, if you hurry,

you can get back in time for the job.

(somber music continues)

Okay.

Yeah, I'll hurry.

Sorry about the way things went down.

You know, I only threw those firecrackers

'cause I thought you were

in trouble, you know?

Maybe it's for the best.

(singing in foreign language)

And, uh, what happened out there?

Honestly, I am so exhausted,

so I don't even know.

Well, it's a sad day

for everybody, I guess.

What do you mean?

Until today,

I thought Shaka was sending

my demo to your uncle.

But actually, she doesn't

care for Shizzle no more, so.

Why not?

I'm not sure.

Her perimeter has been pushing

the whole mean girl thing.

Together, they're going to

hunt down Shizzle's bear.

Wait, hunt it?

Yeah, and then like TikToks about it.

Stuff like this, you know?

No, but they can't do

that though, can they?

Already started.

It's set up for later today.

What's her promoter's name?

Oh, calls himself Monsieur Hunter.

According to Shaka, he's legit.

-(ominous music)

-Hunter.

Oh no.

[Akil] Okay, petrol time.

Let's go.

(doors closing)

I am gonna take a walk.

Okay, take your time.

Cashier is a friend of mine,

so I'm gonna see if he wants

to buy a selfie off me.

(somber music)

[Laura] Don't be foolish.

What you saw was fake.

[Kaya] Whatever made this

definitely had opposable thumbs.

[Mayor] Our village is known

for cider, not conspiracies.

What do I do?

[Laura] This is about your father.

You're turning into your father.

What am I supposed to do?

[Jean-Claude] I have

to watch him suffer.

Oh, oh my God (sobbing).

(Zadie crying)

[Shizzle] Don't cry, little Zadie.

It's okay.

Uncle Shizzle, is that you?

[Shizzle] Not exactly.

Shizzle's asleep, so

you're hearing his spirit.

Where are you?

(soft music)

[Shizzle] In the water, lil

Zadie, the water on the wind.

(traffic rushing)

(water splashing)

Uncle Shizzle.

Destiny ain't easy, baby girl.

And you are doing great.

Thanks.

But, what do I do?

You gotta defend the ones you love.

But how?

What does that mean?

You gotta fight for 'em.

Wait, don't go, don't go.

With all your heart, Lil Zadie,

-Don't go!

-With all your heart.

(tense music)

I don't speak French.

I need a ride.

-Where to?

-West.

Cool.

Yeah, we're headed out west.

Gonna check out the.

Wait, where are you going?

-Welcome aboard.

-Thank you.

Let's do it.

Thank you.

(dramatic music)

[Mayor] A support team will

be assembled and waiting.

Excellent.

Now put the village on emergency curfew.

But I don't know if I can...

Don't let me down.

We'll be there soon.

(btoh speaking in foreign language)

(lively music)

Thank you.

Take care now, you hear?

(engine rumbling)

(engine revving)

Come on.

Answer.

Please answer.

[Kaya] What do you want?

Hi.

Um, I need your help.

Yeah.

It's nothing new.

Are you already on the train?

No, I'm not even up the station.

-This country's so stupid.

-Oh, thank goodness.

Listen, I'm sorry I was mean to you.

-Okay?

-Yah, you should be.

The Hunter is on his way to the village

to k*ll Le Grand Pied.

(ominous music)

He's what?

He and Shaka are hunting it.

Not okay.

That is the only creature to

have ever caressed my soul.

We've gotta defend it at all costs.

Yah.

How do we do that?

Well, the Hunter will have

g*ns, so we need some too.

g*ns.

Okay.

Okay, alright.

Alright.

I am coming.

(microphone squealing)

(mayor speaking in foreign language)

All must be inside and

businesses must close.

(upbeat music)

All business must close.

I don't think so.

It is my decree and you will obey.

I don't take sides,

but this pub don't close,

'cept bank days and holidays.

And only the king can

change that, governor.

Yes, it's a hilarious thing to say.

(Norby scoffing)

(upbeat music continues)

(engine rumbling)

(tense music)

It's so good to see you, Shaka.

(ominous music)

Your support team.

Fine.

Let's get started.

(paper crinkling)

(tense music)

Do you forgive me?

Yah, totally.

Okay, then let's do this.

Yeah.

-(ominous music)

-Looking for this?

How did you know?

I could tell that you

both had encounters,

felt love, and would return,

but I said nothing

because I was jealous.

(somber music)

-Shame on you!

-(hands slamming)

No, it's okay.

We were jealous, too.

We both wanted to possess love

instead of setting it free.

But now, the hunt is on,

and we need to fight

with all of our hearts.

-Yah.

-I will fight beside you.

But not with this.

Le Grand Pied flees from g*ns,

so we could accidentally force him

into the hands of the enemy.

Fine.

That's fine.

We don't need g*ns or b*ll*ts or bombs.

What we need is to remember

what every single kid

learns in theater camp,

that imagination is power!

Sacre bleu!

What are you here for?

For the love of nature.

(lively music)

(Lady Noire humming)

Come on.

Come on, please answer.

If you get this, I really need your help.

(lively music continues)

(Lady Noire vocalizing)

(tense music)

(phone ringing)

Let me know when you're in position.

They are in place and ready.

If it runs that side, do not hesitate.

Understood.

Don't hesitate to k*ll.

And report suspicious

activities immediately.

Understood.

Immediately.

Shh.

(dramatic music)

(water rushing)

(triumphant music)

Here's where I'm feeling.

(Lady Noire singing in foreign language)

(happy classical music)

Le Grand Pied.

You're in danger!

Le Grand Pied!

Let us help you!

(dramatic music)

(person shouting)

(g*n c*ck)

(g*n firing)

(dramatic music continues)

(Kaya shouting)

(bell dinging)

Oh, no, no, no, no, no,

turn it around, Sauerkraut.

(panting) No, you

just must listen to me.

It's important.

You're not welcome here.

I know it's the fault of my sassy mouth,

but Norby, what is happening right now

is bigger than you and me.

It's as big as love and life.

What are you on about?

The mayor,

she's trying to k*ll a

creature of rare beauty,

and we need to stop her.

Not a chance.

Norby, I know that

you're not Switzerland.

(suspenseful music)

I know that you are a lover of the drunks

and the derelicts, of the

singers and the dreamers.

And right here, right now, they need you.

They need all of you

to join the resistance!

(suspenseful music continues)

Yah?

[Person] Oh, he's listin' to the left.

(solemn music)

(singing in foreign language)

(Bigfoot panting)

(Lady Noire shouting)

(suspenseful music)

Ooh.

-Come on!

-(Bigfoot groaning)

That's him!

Go on without me.

Go on without me.

Okay.

(water splashing)

(Lady Noire panting)

(Lady Noire speaking in foreign language)

(happy music)

(water rushing)

(birds chirping)

Gentle Zadie, I know the

kindness you have arranged.

Shizzle will ship me to Canada

to live with the last of my kind.

That's right.

It's all arranged.

Unfortunately, Le

Grand Pied cannot accept,

for his fate must end here.

But we can get you out.

I need not escape.

What I need, I can only

entrust to one as pure as you.

(energetic music)

(group shouting)

I'm gonna k*ll you!

(both speaking in foreign language)

(singing in foreign language)

(both cheering)

(both laughing)

(soft music)

(water rushing)

(baby moaning)

Take good care of her.

I will.

(g*n firing)

(Bigfoot vaulting)

(suspenseful music)

(both speaking in foreign language)

You must hurry.

Where is he?

He's not coming with us.

She is.

(soft music)

(baby cooing)

[All] Aw.

(Bigfoot groaning)

(suspenseful music)

(g*n firing)

(Bigfoot grunting)

(knife sliding)

(Hunter shouting)

(Bigfoot roaring)

(both shouting)

(suspenseful music continues)

(knife stabbing)

(Bigfoot moaning)

(twig stabbing)

(Hunter roaring)

(chimes tinkling)

(wind howling)

(dramatic music)

(thunder booming)

-No!

-(all groaning)

Friends!

(whimsical music)

You have to go.

Look up here!

(arrow zipping)

(whimsical music continues)

(crowd roaring)

(hunters shouting)

(person whistling)

(propellor whirring)

I'm sorry.

That's the orders.

(somber music)

Akil, as a fellow

artist, we're begging you.

Let us get to the chopper.

No way.

Please.

(g*n firing)

I swear to you.

Ain't nothing you can say.

I swear to you on my

dead father's grave,

I will give your demo to

Shizzle if you just let us go.

(tense music)

(baby groaning)

(propellor whirring)

(triumphant music)

-Hip, hip, hip!

-Hooray.

(engine rumbling)

(Lady Noire vocalizing)

(engine revving)

-Hip, hip, hip!

-Hooray.

(all cheering)

(triumphant music continues)

(light music)

Morning.

It's my first day, so I'm

gonna make breakfast and,

(laughing) starting with a smile?

(Zadie inhaling)

Mm, good for you.

Action.

This is a story about innocence

finding safety among magical creatures.

Now their whereabouts will be kept secret,

but we filmmakers hope that anyone

who sees a magical creature

will treat it with the same love

that it brings into the world.

(light music continues)

(record scratching)

(lively music)

Yeah, it's Before Boy

(singing in foreign language)

Hey

(singing in foreign language)

(light music continues)

It was amazing

Yes, you look amazing

You can run like your ma and pa

Or see me

Hey

(singing in foreign language)

(wind howling)

(Bigfoot growling)

(baby cooing)

(singing in foreign language)

(light music continues)

It was amazing

Yes, you look amazing

You can run like your ma and pa

Or see me

Hey

(light music continues)

Hey

(singing in foreign language)

(light music continues)

Hey

Hey
