[theme music ends]



Get down!

[people screaming]

I have a new recipe.

One part avocado, four parts superhero.

Mash until creamy.

[chuckles]

[groans]

[grunts] [laughing]

[people screaming]

[grunts]

[groans]

[yelps]

That's it!

[grunting]



[groaning]

[back cracking]

At this age, better to delegate.

[grunting]

[Mama K grunts] Tie him up!

Careful, T-Mlilo.
Make sure his claws can't cut through.

Don't worry. We got this!

Stealing again, Alley Gator?

My sweet sugar apple,
Professor Greenthumbs, loves avocados.

Would you deprive my love
of this tasty treat?

Stealing someone's heart shouldn't
actually involve stealing. [gasps]

[laughs] Face it, Alley Gator,
we've finally caught you.

Oh, really?

-[loud ringing sound]
-[yells]

-[grunts]
-[groans]

[grunts] What is that?

[cackling]

-[beeping]
-A homing device? [grunts]

[Mama K] Ah-ah.

What is that?

[cackling]

[all gasping]

The weatherman is at your service.

[cackling]

[upbeat music playing]

[groans]

Storm Drain? What is this?
A ka villain party?

What took you so long, Snowman?

For crying out cloud.

I'm not your car service.
I should just leave you here, Teeth Face.

[yelps]

Wait, are Storm Drain
and Alley Gator working together?

No!

Ati...

What is that?

[dramatic music playing]

Awe. Awe.

No, you don't.

[Storm Drain chuckles]

And the weather today is...

Hey, guys, this is snow! For reals!

[chuckles]

-Later!
-[yelping]

Help!

[grunts]

M-Kozo, Za-Mpezi, grab hold!

Hello? Some help here!

Mm.

-[grunting]
-[yelping]

[all grunting]

That was no ka villain party.

They left without a fight.

But at least I got a party favor.

Ah! T-Mlilo,
you better not throw that at me.

Ha! I never waste food.

-[grunts] Brain freeze!
-[laughing]

[groans]

Huh?

Where did it go?
T.O.M.I., can you pilot the drone back?

-[T.O.M.I.] Yes, Mama K.
-I'm gonna review footage.

[elevator dings]

[clears throat]

Why would Storm Drain save Alley Gator?

Yeah. When did they start
working together?

It doesn't make...

Oh. [chuckles] Back already.

What were you watching?

Was that another drone?
Were you chasing it?

No. I was just doing some research.

Let's see!

Uh, no, not right now.

Hau. What's going on, Mama K?

[chuckles] Nothing.
Ah! You must be tired.

I think we could all
use some nice-nice rest.

Imwe. There have been
a lot of "nothings" from Mama K recently.

Yeah. She has been hiding things from us.

Like when we went
to check in on Hangry Temwe

and Mama K was super secretive.

[Zee] And that photo Monde found
in Mama K's secret drawer.

[Monde] And that other photo she hid
from the box she brought from Uncle Chi.

Yeah, yeah. And all those clothes
she was folding yesterday, wena...

What?

What gogo has that much laundry?

Super suspicious.

Hm. So what do we do?

Lock the doors.

It's interrogation time.

Leave it to me.

Time-time she'll be talking bwe-bwe.

Temwe, chill. We can't attack Mama K.

-Well, she needs to spill the tea.
-[Monde] Exactly.

-We need tea.
-Tea. Exactly. We need...

-Huh?
-And biscuits.

Mmm. And biscuits.

-[stomach rumbling]
-[sighs]

Okay, listen.

Anytime I wanted to hear
some juicy stories from my gogo,

I'd serve her tea and biscuits,

and just like that,
everything would come pouring out.

Hau, bo Monde.
Enemy interrogation tactics.

[laughs] Look at you.

Let's do this.

Huh?

-[giggling]
-[grunts]

Hm. [gasps]

[chuckles]

Eh?

-Huh?
-[bleats]

Mama K, you've been a bit stressed lately.

Is there something you'd like to share?

I, uh...

[gasps]

Ahh...

You know you can trust us.

Share.

[chuckles]

Ooh, she's good.

Remember, Mama K, we are your team.

Mm. You forgot to say, "share." [chuckles]

[Team 4] Share.

[sighs] I just don't know
if you're ready for this.

Whatever it is, we can handle it.

Spill the tea. Start talking.

Share.

Something has clearly
been stressing you out,

but maybe we can help.

You can tell us.

Honestly, I'm not sure if I'm ready.

Mama K, didn't you tell us
lying only creates bigger problems?

And to be brave, tell the truth.

Ah, I see, you girls
actually listen to my words well-well.

[chuckles]

[sighs]

[bleating]

Okay.

T.O.M.I., bring up the research.

[T.O.M.I.] Yes, Mama K.

-[beeps]
-[rumbling]

[Team 4 exclaiming]

[Temwe] What?

Whoa, Mama K,

when you keep secrets,

you really keep secrets.

And you've had
this nice-nice tech hiding all along?

I did tell you I was a superspy, no?

Hau! I know her!

You do? From where?

Uh, in the history book of Zambia

about the time before... before now?

Or from my secret drawer?

Mm-hm.

Mama K, who's this?

[sighs] That... that is Chusi.

Chusi? Smoke?

Why is he called that?

A dark cloud
can roll away without bringing a storm,

but with smoke
something is surely burning.

So, he was a weatherman?
Or he was a fireman?

Need some clarity here.

[sighs]

Chusi was the most elusive
and dangerous criminal of his time.

Always appearing out of nowhere,
gone before anyone could capture him.

Like a wisp of smoke.

Ayi! Where's he now?

I think he might be right here.

[yelps] Here, here?

No. I mean here in Lusaka.

During your fight, I discovered
a cloaked drone

watching you all.

Ah, that's the drone you were looking at.

Yes, and today we saw Storm Drain
and Alley Gator working together.

Are you saying there's someone
behind the ka villain party?

Exactly.

I think there may be a mastermind
behind all these villain attacks.

Chusi.

Your superspy life, a new-old villain.

We want the whole story, Mama K.

If that's even your real name.

It's Kumbukani.

Ha! I called it!

But my code name was Mkango, the "Lion."

Whoa.

I think you better sit down for this.

I already am.

Before creaking bones and graying dreads,

I was the leader of a young, elite,
secret crime-fighting team for IAZ,

the Intelligence Agency of Zambia.

My team did our work right here,
in the Lion's Den.

[Team 4] This Lion's Den?

[Temwe] Whoa.

[Mama K]
We were the best spies in the business.

Joining me in the Lion's Den
was our computer expert,

Code name Chipembele, the Rhino.

You may know him as Uncle Chi.

Uncle Chi? The Rhino?

A high-tech jobee?

Temwe, shh.

And I couldn't have done anything
without my best friend

and closest confidant Towela.

An inventive genius.

Code name Imbwili, the Leopard.

Komai, we've apprehended
every one of Chusi's henchmen.

But we're still no closer to catching him.

Leopard, come and see
this footage from today.

Look. There's Chusi leaving the City Hall.

And...

[Mama K] How does he do that?

[Chi] See, there he is.

He just shows up out of nowhere.

They don't call him Smoke for nothing.

Whoo. We may never capture him.

No, we will.

And by the time we do,
the Brainstorm will be ready.

Wait, what's the Brainstorm?

[girls shushing]

I'm getting to that.

See, Chusi was a master criminal,
stealing top secret intel.

Original government files,
codes, encrypted transmissions.

But every henchman we caught
would tell us the same thing.

They knew nothing because Chusi
kept all these secrets to himself,

in his mind.

[Team 4 gasping]

All by memory?

[gasps] Ati whati?
Like... like a Wikibrainiac. Huh.

Exactly.

He would "upload" the files into his brain

and then destroy the original documents

so only he had access
to crucial information.

[scoffs]

Then government no longer had access
to their own intelligence.

Exactly.

We had to come up
with a device that could retrieve

these crucial pieces of Chusi's memory

before he sold them to the black market.

[beeping, whirring]

[Mama K] So we invented...

-Brainstorm, mune.
-[girls] Shh.

Chapwa. The sequence is complete.

Success. Double trouble super cats,
Leopard and Lion catching rats.

[ululates]

Ah-ah. We can't celebrate

until we use it on Chusi
and get that information back.

Well, the first step in doing that
is delivering it to IAZ.

Should we wait
for extra security from IAZ?

We don't want
to be surprised by the Smoke.

Yes, the last thing we want is him
getting his hands on the Brainstorm.

I don't think we should wait.

Mm. We haven't had a day's rest
since I designed this thing.

I would really like
one weekend with my family.

Which is why I don't think we should wait.

Let's get this delivered,
so we can finally take a break.

Ah. My little Limbani.
He's shooting up like a pawpaw tree.

Exactly. You need to see your son.

-We can handle this.
-Let's go!

[upbeat music playing]

[yells]

[both grunt]

Everything okay, Rhino?

[both coughing]

Chusi!

I heard you were looking for me.

Well, here I am.

Surrender now, Chusi,
and nobody needs to get hurt.

Give me that device you created
or I guarantee someone will get hurt.

I'm sorry, what device?

This device.

What do you call it? The Brainstorm?

So clever.

Well, your little creation
will never take my memories from me.

Those aren't your memories.

That information you stole
belongs to the government!

Yes, and I can't wait
to share my memories.

And nothing will stop me.

[grunts]

-[groans]
-[yells]

No!

[grunts]

Who's the smoke now?

Still me.

You're not getting it.

[grunting]

Well, well.

[groans]

Lion, let's see what this Brainstorm

-can really do.
-[Towela] No!

[grunts]

[yelling]

[exhales]

Ah...

[yells]

My eyes. My eyes.

[winces]

Oh.

Where am I?

Oh, Towela.

Who are you?

It's me. It's Kumbukani. Towela.

Towela?

Kumbukani?

Who are you?

Who am I?

[Mama K]
Somehow instead of retrieving memories,

the helmet erased her memories.

[sighs]

We hadn't tested it.

Our plans must have been wrong.

What happened with the helmet
was an accident.

[sighs] Yes, I know.

But I should have called for backup,

as my comrades suggested.

Then we could have gotten it
to IAZ safely.

Maybe then Towela
wouldn't have lost her memory,

and Chi wouldn't have lost his sight.

Your poor comrades!

We're so sorry.

Are you okay, gogo?

[sighs]

The hardest thing I had to do
was tell Towela's son

what happened to his mother.

I still remember Limbani's eyes.

I wanted nothing more
than to help him and Towela.

But IAZ feared that Chusi was still alive

and shut down
our entire operation immediately.

They locked up the Lion's Den,
and sent me and Chi into hiding.

I didn't even get to say goodbye
to my best friend.

They covered it all up.

To this day, I still don't know
what became of Towela or Limbani.

Oh, Mama K, that is so unfair!

You've had such a hard life.

No wonder you look
so much older than your age.

[crying]

Why didn't you tell us this before?

Ah, well, crime levels dropped in Lusaka
after IAZ shut us down,

so I thought
perhaps Chusi was gone forever,

or maybe he'd even died in the explosion.

I wasn't planning to tell you anything
unless I was sure he was back in Lusaka.

Besides, my history with Chusi
is my own battle.

But you don't have to do this alone.

We've got your back.

And your front.

And your sides!

No! If Chusi is the one
leading these villains,

it's just too-too dangerous.

I knew it was a risk
creating a crime-fighting team,

but Chusi is another thing entirely.

I couldn't bear

losing one of you to that monster.

I just couldn't.

Not again.

Mama K, you've carried this alone
for long enough.

And if he knows who you are,
you need us now more than ever.

We'll fight for you.

After all, we are a team. Your team.

Your battles are our battles.

We are not afraid.

Eh, when Chusi
gets a dose of Hangry Temwe,

he'll disappear
like a wisp of smoke, for good.

Olo he is silent and deadly,

-and so am I.
-[farts]

-[giggles]
-Ayi, Temwe.

You don't have to be so literal.

We can do this.

We're Mama K's Team 4!

Mama K's...

[Team 4] Team 4!

Ati Mama K's...

[Team 4] Team 4!

Mama K's...

[chanting] Team 4, eh! Team 4, eh!

Okay. Okay. [laughing]

We'll do this together.

[bleating]

[all laughing]

Don't worry. We got this!

So, there is a puppet master
pulling the strings?

Well then,

I guess it's time to smoke them out.
