Original subtitles

-What? Aah!

Everest, wake up! A creature is coming.

-Did you spend the night on the roof?

-With Everest? No fair! Did you cuddle?

-All right, so let me guess.

You stayed up all night playing your violin,

hoping you could attract

more magical creatures like Fèng Huáng,

but all you got was some serious under-eye baggage

because no creatures showed.

- Yet!But they are out there!

We all saw those lights last night.

-Well, what if those lights were just lights?

-What if those lights were not just lights?

-Get comfortable. They could be at this all day.

-I have magic for a reason. Everest came back for a reason.

We're meant to help magical creatures together.

I know it. I can feel it in my gut.

-Or that feeling is just indigestion

from last night's orange chicken.

-Or it's what it feels like when destiny calls.

We can't ignore destiny. We answer its call!

-Whoa!

-No! Come on, destiny!

-Hmm. Hmm.

Wait-- Uh!

I've been thinking...

Don't say it. I also am surprised.

But, Yi, what if your music is too...

What's the word? Sappy?

-What?

-Sure, it worked for Fèng Huáng,

but maybe more upbeat, fun music would attract other creatures?

-Uh, you think Wong's Violin Concerto Number 78 is sappy?

-Maybe Peng is right.

-Really? You think he's right? -Really? You think I'm right?

-Yeah, no, never mind. I take that back.

-Ha! No backsies. Come on, think about it.

DJs gotta drop that sweet tune-age

if they want the party to be lit.

-Those are not the right words, but I see your point.

-Yes! -Scientifically speaking,

if we accept the theory that Yi's music

does attract magical creatures,

and I'm not convinced it does,

but ifit did, it would follow

that different musical styles

might attract different creatures.

-Urgh, fine. But for the record,

my music is sentimental, not sappy.

-Great! Let's turn the slumber party into a...

-Aargh.

-Next!

-Aaah!

Are there any creatures?

Nope. Next!

-Woah! -What?

-It's working!

-Whoa, snow!

-Ugh, that's just Everest's fur.

-When was the last time you brushed your fur, buddy?

For healthy hair, you gotta brush. Trust me, I know.

-I can't believe this, but I'm having a two-thought day!

Yi, if your violin is magic,

because Everest made the strings out of his hair,

then there's got to be magic in his hair!

Fly, Peng, fly!

I didn't fly.

-Jin, he's really hot.

-Panting. Shedding. Everest must be like a dog.

He can't sweat to cool down. Fascinating.

-And concerning.

It's a hot day for the city,

and the city is already way warmer

compared to Mt. Everest.

We have to find a way

to bring his core body temperature down.

-Don't worry, Everest.

We will have you cooled down in no time.

JIN: "Smile, Nai Nai is watching."

Oh, we're being filmed!

Yeah! -Ah, get back!

-Hi.

-Now what? -I don't know.

The whole "having thoughts" thing is kinda new.

-I have another idea, but, Peng, you need to distract Nai Nai.

-Ah!

There are no leftovers for you today, Peng.

-I'm not here for leftovers, Nai Nai.

I want to place an order for myself andI'll pay for it.

-Are you okay? Are you dying?

Because if you're dying, dumplings are free!

But I need to see a doctor's note.

-Ma, Peng is maturing,

using his own money to pay for his own food.

-That's right, Mei Ayí,I'm maturing.

This morning, I was thinking.

-So what can I get for you, Peng?

-I'll have house special dumplings. Three orders.

Ma, I have the order in the system already.

You don't have to write it down.

-System? You can't trust the system.

-Can I have one order of pork potstickers,

two orders of steamed fish dumplings,

and half an order of xiao lóng bao?

-Hmm?

-Peng, you--you said two orders of fish dumplings, right?

-That's right! I know because I wrote it all down already.

-Sorry, we still have to work out all the kinks.

The main kink being Nai Nai.

-That's cool. Please keep working them out.

I'm in no rush.

Uh, Nai Nai, wait! I, uh, changed my mind.

Make that three pork potstickers, not one. Love those.

And two xiao lóng bao and a tea.

Because I'm maturing and I drink tea now.

-So not half order but two? Ai ya!

-There was never a half order, Ma.

-But it says here!

Now, I can't read what I wrote!

-You know what, I don't think I'm hungry anymore.

Let's cancel the order.

-Sudden loss of appetite.

Erratic behavior.

He isdying.

-Is that... napa and wolf?

-We are so busted.

Napa and pork, two bags.

See, the notepad is never wrong.

Everest, do something!

- Ai ya!

Why is it fuzzy?

Eh? Hen qí guài.

All modern appliances are cursed!

We live in darktimes.

-I changed my mind.

I do want to order some dumplings.

Ah! Oh! Ah-ah!

-No. No dumplings for you!

-Nai Nai is athletic, like scary athletic.

-Well, the good thing is Everest is feeling better.

-And I'm sure eating Nai Nai's frozen dumplings helped too.

-But he won't feel better for long.

-And we can't just go back to the walk-in freezer

every time he's feeling bad.

-Especially with Nai Nai there.

She's a dangerous woman.

-I can think of one person who knows

more about magical creatures than anyone

and has cooling chambers.

-Mr. Burnish?

Yeah, I bet he learned lots about creatures

while holding them against their will

and experimenting on them.

-He did help us get Everest home.

-But does that make up for all the bad stuff he did before?

-People deserve a second chance, right?

-Not when they've hurt creatures.

-Ugh, we're running out of options.

I guess I can make an exception this time.

-Everest, can you hum as a cloud?

Don't worry, Everest. Let me handle this.

-Aw...

-We have to get Everest to Mr. Burnish

the old-fashioned way and fast.

-By horse? -I wish. By foot.

-The bigger question is how are we gonna get

Everest across town without people seeing him?

-This bean bag is socomfortable!

-We cannot leave home without it especially for a sitter like me.

Why stand when you can sit?

-Nap on the go. Five stars!

-Shhh.

JIN: Hang in there, buddy.

-Let's hope he's hom-- -My friends!

-Oh, friends. Uh, yes, we are that, I guess.

-Have you come to forgive me? -Um...

-Would you like some fruit? With homemade whipped cream?

Pâté? A baguette? Tea?

-Oh, no, no, thank you. We kind of need your... help.

-Anything. Do you need money? Some light bookkeeping?

Deep sea welding?

I'm even teaching myself to knit.

Not that we need knitwear in this heat.

Am I right?

-That's just it! -Everest is back,

and it's too hot for him. His core body temperature is--

-My apologies. That was rather dramatic.

It's just-- I don't trust myself around Everest.

I've come to realize

that holding creatures against their will is wrong.

And yet, it still feels so right to me.

Why do wrong things feel right?

-That's a longer conversation, which we are going to have,

because under no circumstances

are you to ever hold creatures again.

Except for maybe right now, because we need to use one of

your temperature-controlled chambers for Everest.

I really dowish I could help, but I just can't.

-It would be tootempting. -But--

-Plus I've sold all my cooling chambers to a boy band.

It keeps them young, apparently.

Oh, how rude of me. Jin, you know Duchess,

but I don't believe the rest of you have had the pleasure.

Fret not, Duchess is here of her own free will.

I've tried to free her, but she refuses to leave!

Been a good arrangement.

And she is quite the formidable chess player.

Speaking of, we have a match to get back to.

-Wait, wait, no, no, Mr. Burnish, wait, please.

I-- I think Everest is here for a reason.

There are magical creatures in the city,

and Everest was helping us help them and--

But now we really need your help helping him.

-I'm sorry, but I can't let myself hurt another creature,

except Duchess' ego when I crush her with my next chess move.

-The Dutch, D4 F5. Deadly.

-Good luck.

Don't look at me like that with those

brooding eyes of yours. What was I--

-I'm sorry, Everest, we'll figure something else out.

Everest?

ALL: Everest! Everest!

-Where would he have gone?

-What was I thinking?

Of course, seeing Mr. Burnish scared him.

And now he's lost and all alone in the city.

-Yi, don't be too hard on yourself.

Technically, it was Jin's idea.

-He can't be far. He could barely stand!

-Everest! Everest! -Everest!

-Hey, I'm looking for my friend.

I mean, dog, dog-friend.

He has white fur

and is like seven feet tall

with super-long arms.

Great hugger.

Again, dog-friend, have you seen him?

-Everest! Everest!

-Oh. -Oh, sorry. Oh.

Everest! Oh! Sorry, excuse me.

-Everest!

ALL: Everest!

-There! There he is.

Uh, we need to get over there and fast.

-Nice work, Peng! -Where did you get that?

-Get back here, Peng.

-Uh, step on it!

-Technically, there are no pedals to step on.

-I actually have to twist the throttle-- -Just go!

MR. YANG: I know where you live!

JIN: There he goes!

Hold on!

-Don't hit the cart. Don't hit the cart! -Aaah!

JIN: He was just here!

-Everest could be anywhere by now.

-Everest! -Everest!

ALL: Everest!

YI: Everest!

I guess I was wrong about this being our destiny.

You know, it's just Everest saved me.

-Me too. It may surprise you,

but before Everest, I didn't have a ton of friends.

Now I have three best friends.

-Before him, I-- I was just breathing,

I-- I-- I wasn't really living.

Not since-- Not since my dad.

I don't know, I thought I could sorta pay Everest back

by helping other magical creatures

like we did with Fèng Huáng.

I got so focused on that, I just--

I forgot about the magical creature right in front of me.

-We'll find him, Yi. -How?

Guys, I think I know how.

Everest? Everest!

We're here. Hang on, boy.

JIN: Easy, does it.

No, no. Wake up, Everest, please.

Please wake up.

-His heartbeat is faint.

-What do we do? -Come on, Everest.

This usually works.

-We need to cool him down stat!

-But where? We've tried all the places.

-Not all of them.

We need to get Everest home.

I've been selfish, I'm sorry.

You gave me this magic

and I still don't really know how to use it,

but if I can help you get stronger,

that will be all the magic I'll ever need.

-I think it's working! -Keep going, Yi.

-Are you strong enough to make a cloud to get yourself home?

-Please! Enough of the sad music!

-Whoa, it's okay, Everest. It's okay.

-I've had a change of heart.

I felt denying you help

was akin to, um, denying a helpless child

who just wants a PB&J

but doesn't know how to go to the store to buy jelly.

Because he has no money and no real-world experience

to grasp the concept of money or store or jelly.

ALL: Ouch.

-Ouch! Right, what I meant to say

is that I guess I'm sort of responsible for Everest

after the whole capturing him

and running experiments against his will thing,

which I realize was wrong.

Thus, I don't engage in such activities anymore.

Because I'm a good guy now!

A boring, old, good guy who plays chess with a rodent.

-Anyway...

we have a surprise for you!

Duchess secretly kept all the tech from my fun--

Oh, I-- I mean, my experimental days.

I used it to build a new home for Everest.

Oh, I mean,-

webuilt a new home for Everest.

-Okay, okay.

I helped Duchess build

a new home for Everest.

-Ta-da!

YI: Wow!

How did you do this so fast?

-Magic.

-Wow, really?

-Only kidding. Tech.

-Oh!

-This is a state-of-the-art,

temperature-controlled chamber.

It can be used all year

to regulate Everest's body temperature.

No matter what the weather is outside,

it will always be Mt. Everest in here.

I understand. I owe you an apology.

But saying sorry is hard, so I made this for you instead.

Look!

No lock.

-Everest, I just want you to know

that it's great that we have this here,

but that doesn't mean that you have to stay.

You canstill go home.

You want to stay? You'll give me a second chance?

People deserve second chances.

You are a good guy, Mr. Burnish. Thank you.

-I'm trying.

It's not as fun to be good,

but, uh, I'm getting used to it.

But this whole not capturing creatures thing is still new,

so you should probably keep your distance.

Ooh, there's more!

I thought some tech

might help you help creatures.

-Oh, thanks, but I already have those shoes.

-No, you don't. Try them on.

-What?

Now jump.

-Ha-ha! I definitely don't have these!

Who-hoooo!

-Aah, he gets rocket boots,

and I just get some fashion accessories?

I mean, I'm all about sunglasses,

but not really a bracelet kinda guy.

-Okay, I'm putting them on.

Woah! I was wrong. I am totallya bracelet guy.

This is awesome!

-Yep. You look awesome.

-Wow! Everest's heart rate is at 45 beats per minute,

and his blood pressure is 64 over 38,

which is all-creature normal.

Except for the lone dumpling he swallowed whole.

-Oh, yeah, those pork and napa ones are hard to digest.

Huh, I guess they don't work on humans.

-It's for the best. You don't want to see what's in here.

-And one more thing for Everest.

This Mini-Mountain-Mimicker

is a portable temperature control device

that will regulate Everest's body temperature

throughout the day.

He'll still have to come back

to the chamber nightly to recuperate.

-Science can do that?

Cool!

-And for the grand finale...

-Wow! What does it do?

-It tunes musical instruments. I thought you'd know that.

Isn't she the violin one?

-Oh! Right.

No, I just thought because everyone else got the--

the cool tech-- I mean, no, it's great. Thank you.

-A magical creature from the sky!

A sky creature!

I want to touch--

No, Burnish. Bad.

-Fèng Huáng! -What are you doing here?

-Everest, what is she trying to say?

-I love charades!

It's strawberries, wearing a hat,

riding on a roller coaster!

-Mm-mm-hmm. You want to swing

from the chandelier, in a fishbowl!

-A creature is coming?

But how? Why now?

-Yi, you were right. We were wrong.

It's not the type of music you play, it's how you play it.

-I-- I-- I really only know how to play one way.

-The creature coming now must have heard you playing

to help Everest!

What's different about how you played then?

-I don't know, I wasn't even really thinking about music.

I just wanted Everest to be okay.

I was playing from my heart.

-The girl does have a big heart.

-Are they here? -Guys, come on!

Looks like destiny is calling.
