Original subtitles

Hooves are clacking, horses trotting Jumping across the stream

Over the hedge and over the ditch Just who can it be?

We are Bibi and Tina On Amadeus and Sabrina

We're chasing the wind We're riding swiftly

Because we are friends

Because we are friends

And if the stream is too wide Then Bibi takes it in her stride

Go, Amadeus!

Wizz-wizz!

FRIENDS ARE FAMILY TOO

Here.

Holger, can you get us a hammer?

And up!

- Bibi? - Watch your head!

Here.

Maybe I really will have to think about the paddock lease.

Kim said that you can call her any time.

What? No!

The paddock is for the horses!

Well, easy for you to say, Bibi.

Shall I show you what will happen if we don't sell?

- We sell the goat. - Holger!

Are you crazy?

No. And maybe not just Highness.

We don't have enough feed for all the animals.

Does this have anything to do with the fact that you like Kim?

Why else would you wear that scarf all the time?

Kim? What does this have to do with Kim?

You better stay out of it, Tina. Those two things are not related.

- Of course! - I'm taking care of the farm all the time.

- Quiet now! - And you tell me...

It's still my decision.

And until then, we have lots to do.

We are Alex and Chico Yes, that's right, it is so

Our riding is on track And we have each other's back

A perfect pair of brothers

-A perfect pair of sisters -A perfect pair of brothers

We just wanted to inform you

that, at four o'clock this afternoon,

I will make a public announcement at the village pub

about how fortunate I am that Chico is now part of the family.

We'll have free food and drinks.

- Brothers. - Brothers.

You are a changed man.

Life is full of surprises.

You have to accept that, Susanne!

No expense spared today.

Everything is for nothing.

I mean, free of charge.

Until five o'clock.

Is your mom coming too?

What a pity. I couldn't reach her yesterday.

And to come all the way from Spain...

I really would have wanted her to come.

We'll make good for it later.

But now, off we go, my sons. We want to show Chico our estate.

As the first-born, he is my primary heir,

and he'll have to take care of everything.

Of course. Less property means less responsibility.

Are you totally crazy?

I'll see you later.

- What? - See you. Let's go.

Yes, let's go.

Come, Cleo.

Well, Tina, no living in the castle then?

I don't want to live in that old hutch anyway.

I was just surprised.

Honestly.

And Alex seemed to be happy.

Speaking of happy,

don't you think there's a possibility to get Chico's mother here in time?

Who knows? The Count might be happy too.

- You might have to do magic for that. - Just this once.

Okay, we have to find something of his mom's to magic myself to her.

Ugh, typical boy.

Looks like a pigsty.

How about this?

Wow! Chico's mom and Count Falko.

- He looks like Alex. - Nonsense!

Absolutely. They look exactly alike, those two.

Stop it.

The older you get, the more you resemble your father.

Bibi, you're scaring me.

It doesn't have to come to that. But it probably will.

Eeny, meeny, pretty picture, take me to where I can fetch her.

Wizz-wizz!

What a shock!

I come in peace.

Peace?

- I'm Bibi Blocksberg. - What's going on here?

- You speak German? - Yes.

Chico tried to reach you. He's in Falkenstein.

Chico? Where did you say he is?

With his father.

No, no, no. That's impossible.

Didn't he tell you?

I can take you to him.

Do you trust me?

Finally.

This is the Martin Farm.

And this is Tina. My very best friend.

Hello.

And where is Chico?

Probably at the pub.

At 4:00 p.m., the Count wants to announce that Chico is his son.

- Who? - Count Falko von Falkenstein?

Chico's father.

No, no. I have to go to him right away.

Where are the horses?

- The stable is there. - There.

Okay. Come on. Quick.

- Left, left. - Okay.

Hey, we haven't finished clearing up yet.

Who is that woman?

So typical.

It's 3:45 p.m.

You are listening to Radio Flamingo. Here is Funky Fröhlich.

Ad-free, unbiased, and untainted.

I've received news that the Falkenstein village pub is hosting an event.

Free food and drinks until 5:00 p.m.

Everyone is welcome.

Initiated and sponsored by Count Falko von Falkenstein.

Wait. Is that the reason Alexander is absent? Without permission?

Then I'll have to be there too.

Paul, you take over.

"Dear gentlemen and ladies of Falkenstein."

VILLAGE PUB

Look who's here again.

Hello! Radio Flamingo!

Why do you think Count Falkenstein is hosting this event

here at the Falkenstein village pub?

Well, it looks like the Count is forking it out.

- He's usually so stingy. - Well...

Something fishy is going on. He just wants to raise rents.

I can imagine that there is an entirely different reason for all this.

I'll just say, gray gold.

- Because of the gravel pit. - Gravel pit?

And in the end, he'll be the one making big bucks.

Typical nobility.

Oh, make way.

You should only interview the really important people.

Like me!

"Dear gentlemen and ladies of Falkenstein."

Or the other way around.

Ladies have come second long enough.

Yes, yes, correct. Of course.

Or just... More general.

"Dear guests.

"I am happy to announce the unexpected but very welcome arrival of my son,

"Chico Montoya... Formerly Montoya, now von Falkenstein."

That's what I have to do.

I mean, I can. I have to.

No. I want to.

I'm really proud to wear this jacket with the family crest.

It's a great honor.

Thanks.

Well, family.

Well, I'll finish school here. I only have two years left anyway.

Yeah? But what about your mother?

She'll understand.

A young man needs his father.

Yeah, sometimes.

Elena, what's wrong?

Chico is not my son.

- What? - What?

What did I just say?

Nonsense. Of course, Chico is my son.

What I wanted to say is...

Chico is not Count Falko's son!

What?

- Then he isn't Alex's brother? - No!

Drama.

And if we don't hurry, it'll be huge drama that will shake the whole village.

Tina, come on!

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

- Hands off! It's not time yet. - Chill out, man.

Count Falko has such a wonderful aura.

Today, I might have a one-time chance for an individual interview. Hello!

They're all wearing the same scarf as Holger.

Same taste?

Bibi Blocksberg. You also want your piece of the pie?

- No pie today anymore. - What do you mean?

It's a surprise!

Dear guests.

A wonderful event has brought us here together today.

- I am happy... - When can we eat?

Just a moment, Freddy. Just a moment.

- I am happy... - Now you've thrown him off.

...about the unexpected but very welcome...

Mom?

Eeny, meeny, secret friend, he won't make it to the end.

Wizz-wizz.

About the unexpected but very welcome...

What's unexpected but welcome?

About the unexpected but very welcome...

And when can we finally eat?

He has so much to say.

About the unexpected but very welcome...

Father? Are you okay?

About the unexpected but very welcome...

He's probably just nervous.

Drink some water, and take a deep breath.

Elena? You have to tell him the truth now.

About the unexpected but very welcome...

Again?

The buffet is open.

- Mom! - Chico!

What are you doing here?

Your Lordship? You can't keep running away and hiding.

Father, really. Like a little child.

- I am sorry. - Sorry?

Mom, you don't have to be sorry.

I'm the happiest person in the world. I found my father.

About the unexpected but very welcome...

Has the excitement fried his brain?

Sorry. It was me.

Due to Bibi's spell, Count Falko can't continue to speak.

- What? - Yes, and for very good reason.

What's this all about? What do you mean, "good reason"?

I... I don't understand.

Count Falko is not your father.

What?

He can't be your father. I would know.

About the unexpected

- but very... - Falquito, can you hear me?

Falquito, can you hear me?

When you went back to Germany, I felt very lonely.

And I met Chico's father, a musician, shortly afterwards.

We had one night together. He was very handsome.

But he was a mediocre musician. And that's why he's gone.

But Chico, you're here.

And you're the best thing that could ever happen to me.

Unexpected but very...

Falquito!

Really, now.

Eeny, meeny, one, two, three, four, everything like it was before.

Wizz-wizz.

Did I hear that right?

Yes.

I don't have a brother.

I'm all alone again.

Hey, you're not alone.

You have us. We're always there for you.

Friends are family too.

Well, hell!

- Chico? - Chico!

Elena, wait! I don't understand.

Our night on the beach. The moon, the wine, you...

How could it be that nothing happened?

Falquito, you're still a hopeless romantic.

But we don't have time for that now. Come on.

As you were.

Have you seen Chico?

He stormed out in a very dramatic way,

even though I offered him something to eat.

Which way did he go?

To the castle. Let's go!

Sabrina, go.

Faster, Amadeus!

Go!

That's his jacket.

He's doing it like Ludwig.

He wouldn't do that.

Hold this!

Chico?

Alex?

Nope. He's not here.

Now my lovely dream has flown

And I am feeling so alone

My heart is heavy as a stone

I must be brave I shouldn't moan

"Home" feels like a foreign word

"Family," something I've never heard

It's over, my hopes have all been dashed

Nothing is as it was Nothing is as it was

That's not how it is We'll be with you forever

Your friends can be your family

Other things can change We'll be with you forever

Your friends can be your family

I'll be your umbrella When you walk in the rain

Push the clouds aside So you see clearly again

Don't you ever give up, friend

Don't you give up, friend Don't you give up, friend

That's not how it is We'll be with you forever

Your friends can be your family

Other things can change You can depend on us always

Your friends can be your family

I'll be your umbrella When you walk in the rain

Push the clouds aside So you see clearly again

Don't you ever give up, friend

Don't you give up, friend Don't you give up, friend

I'll be your blanket If you start to get cold

I'll be with you always Until we grow old

Don't you ever give up, friend

Don't you give up, friend Don't you give up, friend

Don't you give up, friend

Don't you give up, friend

Don't you give up, friend

Brothers in spirit.

I don't know what to say.

I don't know what to say.

No, no. You don't have to say anything

because I know you are a young man of honor.

You could easily take after me.

And, of course, you are always welcome in Falkenstein.

My castle is your castle.

We'll be happy to visit.

What's going on over there?

They're signing the contract. Bibi, do something!

That's not how it is We'll be with you forever

Your friends can be your family

Other things can change You can depend on us always

Your friends can be your family

I'll be your umbrella When you walk in the rain

Push the clouds aside So you see clearly again

Don't you ever give up, friend

Don't you give up, friend

Don't you give up, friend

I'll be your blanket If you start to get cold

I'll be with you always Until we grow old

Don't you give up, friend

Don't you give up, friend
