04x09 - The Bat Who Couldn't Remember

[bunniefuu]

Welcome to CLADE. The Covert League

of Animal Detective Experts.

Sam Snow.

Kit Casey.

The Creature Cases.

"The Bat Who Couldn't Remember."

Bo-Bok!

-Just a little fur floof today, chérie?

-Mm-hm.

Did you hear about the new bat family

that moved into your old cave?

Oh!

Yes. Whoever they are,

they have no manners.

They haven't flown by to say hello.

What's that?

It is a bat!

What kind of bat is that?

- I don't know.

I have seen a lot of bat fur in my day.

But orange bat fur, not so much.

Ooh. So dizzy.

You all right?

Try not to move, dear. What is your name?

Uh, my name is I

I don't remember!

Huh?

Kit, what are all these notes for?

They're to remind me that

my annual CLADE fitness test is next week.

I don't wanna forget like I did last year.

I don't need these sticky things

to remember when my fitness test is.

It's tomorrow morning

at exactly 8:15 on the dot.

Uh-huh. So how do you

remember things so well?

Simple. I have a perfect memory.

Oh, really?

Because snow leopards

aren't on the top ten list

of animals with the best memory.

I mean,

elephants have way better memories.

-Uh, Kit?

-Then there's dolphins, crows

Kit!

Whales, tortoises, chimp--

Kit! The CLADE crest.

Director Scratch has a new case for us.

Agents!

A mysterious bat fell out of the sky

in the African jungle.

Unfortunately,

she can't remember who she is.

And if that's not mystery enough for you

She's orange!

I've never seen a bat quite like that.

I wonder where she came from

and how she lost her memory.

Well, as someone

with a perfect memory myself,

I know a few tricks

that might help her remember.

Huh?

Agents!

It's up to you to help that bat

figure out who she is. Bo-Bok!

Now arriving at destination biome.

African jungle.

Hi, there. We're from CLADE.

-I'm Sam.

-And I'm Kit.

Hi. I'm

Oh, sorry. I don't know who I am

or where my home is.

-I don't remember anything.

-Ah.

You bumped your head.

Nothing serious, but that's probably

what's making your memory fuzzy.

It might take a little while

until it comes back.

In the meantime, I'll see if you match any

of the 1,447 species in my bat database.

Or as I like to call it,

my bat-a-base. Get it?

Huh.

No matches. You don't belong

to any bat species we know of.

But I must belong somewhere.

Don't I have a family? A home?

Of course you do.

And we're going to find out where.

Here's a trick

that helps me remember things.

Close your eyes.

Okay.

Just relax and try to clear your mind.

Breathe in.

And out.

Now, picture just one thing.

Home. What do you see?

It's dark.

I know it's dark.

That's because your eyes are closed.

No. I mean,

I think where I live is somewhere dark.

With rocks. And the sound is "echo-y."

A cave. She's talking about a cave.

I knew it. A new bat family

moved into my old cave.

Just down that way.

That could be

where this little bat's from.

We'd better check it out.

Ready.

Whoa. Gotcha!

So dizzy.

That's normal when you get

a little bump on your head.

You shouldn't do any flying

until you feel better.

Climb on my back, little bat.

Does this cave look familiar?

I don't know. Maybe.

Hello!

-You hear that?

-Maybe that's my family.

I dunno. Sounds kinda loud

for bats as small as you.

More like--

-Whoa!

-Whoa!

Fruit bats.

These are definitely not her family.

Are you the ones who woke us up?

Uh, yes, but

Thank you. Ah!

We overslept and almost missed supper.

And you got to get up early

in the evening to get the best fruit.

Come on, family!

Let's go!

- Yay!

At least, they have a family.

So do you. We're gonna find them.

We're just getting started.

There are lots more caves

in this area to check out.

And they all look close by.

Um, not so fast, Kit.

Those might not be as close as they seem.

Switching to 3D view.

Look, the caves are

all the way up above us.

Up that big mountain.

Afraid so. But we'll check

every single cave until we find yours.

Time to climb.

Who! Who!

- Sorry.

Who do you think you are?

Stay out of my cave!

Hm.

Huh?

Looks like hyena prints and

Hyena dung? Ugh!

Whoa!

- Gotcha!

I hear a bat.

But he's not orange.

Would you like to stay for a bite?

Uh, no, thanks!

Wasn't that either.

What if we never find my cave?

Don't give up hope.

We still have one cave left to check.

That must be where your family is.

Looks like it's right above us.

But how will we get all the way up there?

With these.

CLADE claws! Ready?

Ready.

Uh, please try

not to put your wing over my eyes.

Oh, sorry. I wish I could fly ahead

and help instead of being such trouble.

It's no trouble. Oof!

Careful, Sam.

Thanks, Kit.

Wait! That smell!

I know these flowers. I always loved them.

And this purple is my favorite color!

Mmm!

And these are my favorite bugs.

This is good! Smells and tastes

can help bring back memories.

We must be on the right track.

Careful down there.

The wind is getting stronger.

Yes! I remember.

It's windy near my home.

And I think I remember--

Oh!

Little bat!

Nimba!

Is that

Nimba!

My name is Nimba.

Nice to meet you, Nimba.

Looks like you can fly again.

Yes, and I'm remembering more and more.

I think we're close to my cave.

There's a path up ahead. Follow me.

Come on! Come on! We're almost there.

I think it's just around this bend.

Uh-oh!

Whoa!

Whoa!

Phew!

Sam! Kit! Look out!

-Whew!

-Whew!

Thanks, Nimba.

Yeah, you really saved us

from that rockslide.

Rockslide?

Rockslide! That's it!

-What's it?

-I remember!

There was a rockslide, and then

Oh, no!

Huh?

I remember now.

I live here in this cave.

Mama, Papa, and I were cleaning each other

when a rockslide started.

I was the only one who made it out.

But when I tried to go back and help them,

I got hit on the head.

That's when I lost my memory

and fell down the mountain.

My mama and papa

are still behind those rocks.

Do you think they're okay?

Only one way to find out.

Come on, Kit. Let's move these rocks.

If we can move this last big one,

that should do it.

I can help.

Ready?

- Ready.

We did it!

Hello!

-Nimba!

-Nimba!

Mama! Papa! There you are!

We were so worried.

I can definitely see

the family resemblance.

Sam, do you realize what this means?

They must be a species of bat

we've never heard of before.

Orange-furred bats!

I have so many questions.

Excuse me, how long have you been here?

What do you eat?

Do you like oranges?

Uh, Kit?

Maybe we should let Nimba

have some time alone with her family?

Oh, right.

So long, Nimba.

Bye, Sam. Bye, Kit. Thank you.

Well, that's another creature case

Closed!

What a night.

I can't wait to go home

and take a long nap.

Uh, Sam. Don't you have your fitness test

this morning at exactly 8:15 on the dot?

Whiskers! I completely forgot!

Come on, we need to get back right away!

Guess your memory

isn't so perfect after all.
