Hmm. Where is everybody?

Hello? I've got a dumpling order here for, uh...

a Little Wild Habitat?

Hello? Leaving this here.

Hello?

Tastes better when it's hot!

Who ordered this, a panda?

Heh? Oh, well.

Pssh. A panda?

Everybody knows pandas eat bamboo.

The coast is clear!

Coming your way!

MARTY: I got it!

[ gasping ]

[ Carlos whistles ]

Huh?

[ sniff ]

Hmm!

Super Melman to the rescue! Uh!

It's hippo time. Woo‐hoo!

Woo‐hoo‐hoo!

Yoo‐hoo!

Let's eat!

Steamed, fried, extra fried and just right.

Now that's what I call teamwork.

The harder we work to get 'em, the yummier they are!

‐ Woo‐hoo! I love this game!

Lucia, what's it called again? Kookoo? Kiki?

Close. It's Kyykka.

I learnt it while living amongst the reindeer in Finland.

You're friends with a reindeer? Do you know Santa?

I wouldn't say I "know" him. But I have met him.

Twice.

[ sigh ]

Huh. Really?

[ horse neighing ]

[ laugh ]

Good evening, Ranger Hoof, ma'am!

A good evening indeed! Thanks again for your help yesterday.

Did you find out who's behind the bird‐poop covered fountain? Sure did.

Your tip led us to Bill the Flamingo.

I knew it! He didn't do it.

But he knew who did.

Now I can stay focused during my nightly park trot.

You do a nightly park trot?

After hours, we Ranger Horses sneak out of our barns

to keep the parks green, the city clean and the pigeons off the merry‐go‐round.

A nighttime secret society of Ranger Horses?

Can I please come with you on your night trot? Please!

I don't know. Central Park is a lot wilder at night.

But I suppose I could use an extra pair of eyes.

Okay. Meet me at the fountain at midnight

and I'll show you the ropes.

My first ever night trot!

Yeah! Woo‐hoo!

Don't be late!

Yes! Ten pegs! I think I found my calling.

Okay, Lucia, your turn!

Hey, where'd she go?

Classic Lucia, always disappearing.

Kate is coming! We gotta make these pegs disappear.

[ laugh ]

[ gasping ]

Woo! Another day's come and gone!

Let's get you three...

Sleep‐walking in your Ranger Horse hat again?

Actually, Ranger Hoof invited me to join her on her nightly park shift.

I'm going on a night trot!

A night trot? Up top, my main mammal!

Ranger Marty's on the job!

Oh!

Huh? Great news!

I've decided to trot along on your night trot with Ranger Hoof!

You're gonna what?

It's the perfect way for me to study a real Park Ranger Horse.

What if I need to play a cat cowboy in a Western movie someday?

Alex, this is official business.

We'll be like the cowboys in the movies!

Please? Please! Please! Please! Please! Well...

Just two buckaroos taking on the world and looking good doing it.

Ha‐ha! You do know we'll only be in Central Park, right?

Don't ruin this for me.

[ Gloria snoring ]

MELMAN: ...42 llamas, 43 llamas,

44 llamas...

and, oh, 45 llamas...

What's wrong, Melman?

I can't sleep. Even counting llamas isn't working.

What if I never fall asleep?

What if I'm awake forever? What if I never dream again!

Melman, I know just what you need.

Here it is! This puzzle will put you right to sleep.

[ grunt ]

Huh? Ah! Ah!

[ laugh ]

Thanks, Gloria, but I don't think a puzzle's gonna help put me to‐‐

[ gasp ]

Is that an ambulance?

Whoa! I can't wait to see what the puzzle looks like

once it's put together.

It'll probably look like...

Never mind. Let's get puzzling!

[ snoring ]

[ squealing ]

Stop right there, and kindly return the bananas.

[ gasp ]

[ Dave squeals ]

Those sneaky hedgies. Thanks, Marty! Nothing to worry about.

Just doing my job as your friendly neighborhood ranger.

How can we repay you? How about a free tunnel ride?

Yeah, go ahead.

MARTY: Reporting for night trot! Right on time, Ranger.

Uh, but before we begin, I have a teeny tiny favor to ask you.

Ha! "I'm Ranger Hoof! Nothing happens in Central Park that I don't know about!"

[ sigh ]

I told you to wait for my signal!

Bum, bum da bum, barrum, bum bum, I'm Ranger Hoof...

Junior Ranger, explain yourself and whatever this is.

Ranger Hoof, it's Alex's dream to be the greatest animal actor ever.

He asked if he can come tonight,

so he can observe an official Park Ranger Horse.

But don't worry, we'll be focused and professional!

Hmm. Hmm?

Okay. But only if you get my ranger voice right.

"Only if you get my ranger voice right."

Alex!

[ laugh ]

You two remind me of my human partner and me.

He's always trying to make me laugh.

He's so... What's the word?

Distracting?

Fun! No matter how tough this job can get,

we always have a good time working together.

Hmm. All right. That's enough chit chat.

Recess is over. Now, are you ready to learn the ropes?

Ma'am, yes, ma'am! Ma'am, yes, ma'am!

Follow me and stay alert.

All kinds of wild things pop up on the night trot.

Woah! Ooh!

What was that?

Oh, that's Patrice, the Great Horned Owl.

Don't mind her. She's always hooting and hollering.

[ chuckle ]

[ sniff ]

Aw, Marty, come on! It wasn't me!

What is that smell?

That's Steve the skunk. Now don't let his scent fool you,

he's a charmer who throws a delightful late‐night picnic.

Blegh! Ugh!

Ah!

[ gasp ]

Oh!

Wow! Central Park at night is almost as wild as the zoo!

Well, now that we've gotten the hang of it,

I think we're ready for a mission, Ranger Hoff.

Very well, then. I'll cover the north side of the park

while you two cover the south. Start by the fountain,

circle the playground, then head to Dumpling Dan's cart.

I'll meet you back here at the end of the night

to hear your full report. Copy that!

I'm used to trotting the park by myself at night.

It's nice to have a couple of partners to help out.

You can count on us, Ranger!

[ sigh ]

MARTY: Alex, c'mon!

[ laughing ]

I found another blue piece! Oh, wow! There's a lot left to go.

[ yawn ]

We don't have to finish it tonight.

I think I'm finally sleepy enough to go to bed.

Yeah, okay. But we should piece together the front of the ambulance.

And then can we go to bed? Of course!

A few more pieces and we'll be asleep with the crickets. Game on, puzzle!

Marty, was it "all kinds of things" or was it, uh,

"all kinds of wild things pop up during the night trot."

Wait, Marty, did that sound like Ranger Hoof?

"All kinds of wild things pop up during the night trot."

Ah, much better!

You are doing great with your ranger voice!

Oh, now how am I doing with my ranger skills?

[ sniff ]

[ gasp ]

[ grunt ]

[ gasp ]

Millie, did you see that? Keep up, Murray!

I'm lapping you for the third time today!

[ panting ]

Come on!

Oh, yeah!

Okay. The fountain is in order. Next up, the playground.

Hoop!

Marty, look! Trash!

Come on, people! Clean up after yourselves.

There's a trash can right here.

Wait! It's a Dumpling Dan napkin.

Alex, come on.

We gotta stay focused on cleaning up trash, not playing with it.

Hold on! There's more. A lot more!

MARTY: The wind must have blown them off Dumpling Dan's... cart?

Isn't that where Dan always parks the dumpling cart?

Where is it? Marty, look!

MARTY: Huh?

Oh! Dan uses that chain to lock the cart to its spot every night, which means...

Oh! The dumpling cart is gone! Is Dumpling Dan missing too?

Who will deliver takeout to the zoo?

What are we gonna do? Start eating calzones?

Alex. Do you know what this is?

It's my first official Lost and Found case!

Don't you mean our first official Lost and Found case?

Fine, our official case.

As someone who knows every rule in the Ranger Horse Handbook,

I know just what to do.

And as someone who knows every cowboy show on TV, so do I...

Time to saddle up and save the day!

Huh! Giddy yup, horsey!

This cowboy's got a dumpling cart to find.

Alex! Get off!

Hey! What was that for?

We need to focus.

I have to prove to Ranger Hoof that I can do this.

You're practically an expert in Lost and Finding,

and I have an incredible Ranger voice.

Together, we're gonna save the day!

You keep working on that ranger voice,

but when it comes to ranger work, I've gotta do it alone.

What about those clues I found? Oh, and here's another clue!

Blegh! Old leftovers?

It's not just old leftovers. It's a Dumpling Dan dumpling,

and it looks like someone left their mark on it!

That piece of fur? That's not a clue. That's just gross.

With all these critters lurking, someone must've seen something.

Why don't we talk to them and see what they know.

RAT 1: I could really go for a Shropshire Blue Cheese tonight.

RAT 2: Or a bit of Muenster.

Hmm... You may be right. Interviewing the rats is a good idea.

Ooh, Marty! Let's do it like real old‐time cowboys!

I even brought my cowboy mustache! Ranger Alex always finds the truth.

Don't you mean Ranger Alex always finds the trash?

You clean while I find the truth. This is my moment to shine!

I got this. Excuse me, could I ask you a few questions?

Sure, kid. Whaddya need?

Seems like a dumpling cart has gone‐a‐missing 'round these parts.

You fine rats wouldn't happen to know anything about that, would you?

If you're gonna do it cowboy style, at least take the mustache.

Shh, Alex! I'm in the middle of important ranger stuff.

Now that I think about it,

the cart hasn't been in the park after dark all week.

That's right! We haven't seen it in ages.

Hmm... Do you know anything about this dumpling?

No. I don't care for dumplings.

Not enough cheese in them for our taste.

Thanks, you've been a great help!

Strange fellow that one. RAT 1: You said it.

Alex, do you know what this means? That you refuse to share the spotlight?

Huh? No! The cart has gone missing every night for the last week.

Seems someone's been taking the cart nightly, but who?

This isn't just an ordinary Lost and Found case,

this is a bona fide mystery!

[ Ant'ney screams ]

[ grunting ]

Ant'ney! What are you doing here?

Ow! Just enjoying my nightly flap.

What are you doing out of the habitat? Isn't it past your bedtime?

Marty and I are helping Ranger Hoof!

Wait, nightly flap? You have a bird's eye view of everything!

Maybe you can help us find‐‐ The missing dumpling cart!

The dumpling cart is gone? Is Dumpling Dan gone, too?

What are we gonna do? Start eating calzones?

That's what I said!

Have you noticed anything strange in the park lately?

No. But I know some birds who might. Follow me!

I'm gonna find those dumplings if it's the last thing I do!

GLORIA: There's the window. There's the door!

This goes here, and that goes there, and these go here.

And this one goes there. Gloria!

I know! I am really good at this!

Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!

[ Marty coughs ]

I think Ranger Hoof would be very interested to hear about this.

This isn't what it looks like!

It looks like unsupervised, afterhours splashing.

Eh. Eh. I guess it is what it looks like.

I won't tell Ranger Hoof, if you tell us what you know.

Someone's been taking Dumpling Dan's cart.

Either of you noticed any unusual behavior in the park?

Eh... Eh...

There are dumplings on the line!

Okay, okay! So, Dumpling Dan always closes down

the cart for the day and leaves at 7:00.

And Ranger Hoof trots through this side of the park at 8:00.

And by 8:30...

The cart is gone! The cart is gone!

[ gasp ]

But that's not all! During our early morning flights‐‐

Wait a second! How often are you two flying around without me?

Hey! You wanna hear about the dumplings or not?

Go on.

During our early morning flights,

we always see the cart back in its spot right at sunrise!

So, all the action happens in the middle of the night.

I've got a feeling that the critter behind this is nocturnal.

So, do we get a reward or something? Is it in cash or bird feed?

No! I'm already letting you go without telling Ranger Hoof.

I thought we'd get at least a "thank you" or something.

My work here is done. Good luck, kids!

What? What is it? The hedgies!

Remember the first time we met them? They know how to sneak out to the city.

Plus, the hedgehogs are nocturnal, which means they sleep all day,

giving them the energy to sneak out while we're sleeping, head into the city,

wait till Ranger Hoof has completed her nightly trot,

wheel the dumpling cart back to the habitat,

and have an unauthorized, late night dumpling party!

I don't know, Marty.

That all sounds kind of...

unlikely.

Trust me, Alex! My animal instinct is tingling.

Now you stay here in case Ranger Hoof returns.

But, Marty!

I'll head back to the habitat and check on the hedgehogs!

If my theory is right, the hedgies are loading the terrarium

with dumplings at this very moment!

[ sigh ]

[ Melman snoring ]

Melman, look! 87 llamas! What?

Did you finish the puzzle?

No. But I found that pesky front tire piece!

I'm coming for you, dumplings! Aha! I knew it!

[ hedgies squealing ]

Where are the dumplings?

I thought your terrarium would be full of them.

[ sigh ]

Sorry for interrupting playtime. As you were.

I was wrong. The hedgies are innocent, which means...

the dumpling cart is still lost!

Whose fur is this?

I know this is connected to the missing cart, but how?

What do you think, partner?

More the strong, silent type, huh?

Yes! Almost done.

All I need is that last little puzzle piece.

Hmm. Is it here?

No!

Under here? No.

In this bucket? Nope.

Maybe Kate filed it under "P" for puzzle.

On this hammock? Oh!

Did ants carry it away?

I can't do this alone! Melman, I need your help!

[ snoring ]

[ gasp ]

[ cheering ]

The final piece!

[ snoring ]

[ sigh ]

Evening, Ranger. I trust your night trot is going smoothly.

Well, about that... I discovered a lost item.

On your first night trot? You're a natural!

More like a natural disaster.

You see, the dumpling cart went missing, so I interviewed the rats and pigeons,

and I thought the baby hedgehogs were responsible, but I was wrong and‐‐

So, you struggled to crack your first case.

It happens to the best of us.

But where's your partner? Wasn't he helping you?

He was trying.

I mean, it was his idea to interview the rats

and ask Ant'ney for help, but I'm the Ranger.

I was supposed to be able to find this cart myself.

Being a Ranger is all about teamwork

and knowing you can depend on your partner.

Listen, I haven't found a single lost item without the help of mine.

But you're the best Ranger Horse I know!

A Ranger horse is only as good as their partner.

Partner, huh?

ALEX: Marty!

I know you want to solve this mystery alone, but‐‐

I was wrong, Alex!

I can't solve this mystery, or any mystery, alone.

I need your help.

Really? Really.

You're my partner, partner.

Now let's see those clues you found.

Yes! First, we have the Dumpling Dan napkins

that led us to where the cart was last seen.

We know they trailed all the way from the playground

to the empty parking spot. Next, the bike lock.

Looks like it's been carefully picked.

So, whoever took the cart had a bobby pin handy,

or they have really sharp claws.

And finally, the dirty dumpling.

Ugh. Ugh.

ALEX: This one really stumped me.

I bet this fur is another clue.

You've done some great investigating, partner.

Excellent work, you two. But we still don't know who took the cart.

Not to worry, ma'am. My partner and I are on the case.

Huh? What's this?

It looks a lot like a peg from the game Lucia taught us today.

What's it doing out here? And when was Lucia out of the zoo?

Lucia! Lucia!

Your sloth friend?

She's nocturnal, and‐‐

She's always slinking off without anyone noticing.

And she's strong enough to push a dumpling cart!

But wait, one thing doesn't add up. This definitely isn't sloth fur.

So, whose fur is it?

Delicious! Marty, you found my lost Kyykka peg.

You really are good at finding things!

So, you've been taking the dumpling cart?

Huh?

Lucia, perhaps you can help us understand

why you've been taking the dumpling cart every night.

Oh, I didn't mean to upset anyone.

I've been taking the leftover dumplings that Dan forgets to empty

at the end of the night, and giving them to...

Oh, well, come see for yourself.

[ kittens squealing ]

MARTY: Aww! ALEX: Kittens!

I found these kittens alone in the park with no one to care for them,

so I took it upon myself to bring them some food each night.

Giving the unwanted dumplings to these hungry kittens

was a responsible way to help others and eliminate food waste.

Thank you, Lucia, on behalf of the entire Ranger Community.

You saw a problem, and you took action to fix it.

Thanks for your help, Ranger Hoof.

Like I said, Marty, solving a case is a team effort.

Now! Our next mission is to find these kittens a home.

[ snoring ]

KATE: Oh, my! What do we have here?

[ laughing ]

Well, aren't you just the cutest kittens in the whole world?

You know... I've always wanted a cat.

That's funny. I've always wanted three!

Who's a cutie little kitty cat?

These Rangers got it done!

Mission accomplished.
