[theme song ends]

[intriguing music playing]

Good morning, people of Lusaka!

It's been less than 24 hours,

but our city and our people
are powered up.

The streets are pulsing with electricity.

Hot plate stoves are cooking,
cell phones are fully charged,

and Wi-Fi runs uninterrupted.

No more power cuts or load shedding.
A luta not continua!

-[laughing]
-[townspeople coughing]

Uh, power to the people!

And the man responsible for it all,

Mr. Magedzee!

[tsks] Ah, responsible for making us
lose a team member!



[coughing]

This is Geoffrey with
Lusaka News, signing off.

T.O.M.I., freeze video.

-[monitor beeps]
-Geoffrey's scratching hard, eh?

Oh. Ekse, what's going on?

Looks like the people in the marketplace

are coughing
and rubbing their eyes, like, a lot.

You think there's
some sickness going around?

What are you talking about?

Power is running,
people are living their best lives.

As much as I hate to say,
Mr. Magedzee is a hero.

[Zee] Zoona, my guy!

Can we trade Mayor Sikazwe
for Mr. Magedzee?

Now there's a power upgrade
we definitely need.

-[Chomps munches, bleats]
-[Temwe] Ah!

[Temwe scoffs]
Those city mosquitoes have no mercy.

Hold up, hold up.

He's scratching the same way
you and Zee were

after you got that mamina stuff
from the barrels on your skin. Remember?

[both wince]

Maybe I'm being paranoid, but, eh...

it looks like something-something
is seriously wrong out there.

The mamina detector hasn't
recorded any info on the toxic sample yet.

Maybe we should check this problem out.

Uh-huh.

There's no way so many people
have the same problem at the same time.

Let's go.

[Zee] Mama K's...

[all] Team 4!

[thrilling music playing]

[music ends]

[elevator whirring softly]

[T-Mlilo] Eh-eh-eh.
I'm here to help people,

not catch whatever sickness
is going around, bane.

Except this doesn't
feel right without Komana.

Has anyone spoken to her since last night?

Mm. You mean since she quit Team 4.

Weh! It wasn't official.

Let's give our friend
a little time and space

while we see
what's happening around the city.

-Komana's got a lot going on, eh?
-[T-Mlilo sighs]

[Komana's father coughing, wheezing]

Ta, please. I told you, you have to rest.

-You've been working way too hard.
-Eh-eh-eh.

This car needs to be ready today, eh?

Ta, that's exactly why I'm here.

[Komana's father sighs weakly, grunts]

-Just tell me what you need help with.
-Eh-eh.

Who is the parent here?

All you need to do is focus on
your schoolwork and new internship, huh?

My bright light of Zambia.

You're just as important.

I can handle more than you think.

I don't know how you do it all. Work,
the internship, volunteering at Mama K's.

-Ah.
-Oh yeah. Mama K.

[coughing]

Ta, please.
You have to go inside and rest.

You cannot work today.

Ah. You're right.

Let me rest these old bones.

[exclaims] This ka cough
wasn't so bad yesterday. [sighs]

Don't worry, Ta. I'll clean this up.

Don't try and do everything, eh?

You can't be a superhero. [groans]

[tranquil music playing]

[Chi] I am telling you, comrade,

this rock mineral
must be connected to that masked man.

So you're telling me a masked man
came to your house to attack you,

and then left you, what? A thank-you gift?

He was probably so dizzy
trying to run away from my fire fists,

he did not know he dropped it.

[Chi] No, no, no.

Whatever that smelly mineral is,
you are not opening it here.

Take that thing back to HQ.

Let your T.O.M.I. computer
figure out what it is.

Very well, Fire Fists.

You and your nose are safe.

-[intriguing music playing]
-[Za-Mpezi panting]

Uncle, are you okay?

[man groaning]

I'm fine.

These city mosquitoes
just don't want to leave me alone.

[boy panting] We shouldn't have
gone swimming in the river!

[grunting]

Mmm. A double bath
for the triplets tonight.

No. Triple bath for sure.

[workers groaning]

My eyes are burning!

Hey! Auntie! Uncle! Do you need some help?

No, child, we are fine.
We are here to dismantle the windmills.

No need for them
now that we have Magz Power.

The work can wait.

-Please take care of yourselves first.
-[man pants weakly]

People are scratching, eyes are burning.

Ey, what is going on?

[mysterious music playing]

[townspeople coughing]

[rooster clucks]

-[townspeople coughing]
-Hmm. Something's missing here.

[Ba Saasa coughing]

What? My vitumbuwa are closing down!

Ah, no! My heart can't take it! Ha!

Ba Saasa, what happened? Who did it?

There's no way someone
ate all the food without me!

Relax yourself, Temwe.

I'm not feeling so good.
I... I need to go home and get rest.

Not feeling good?

Ah. I told you not to eat that fish
from the auntie down the road.

No, no, I didn't eat the fish.

I was feeling fine until a day ago.

But how could I close
without feeding my best customer, huh?

How?

-Wow!
-[Ba Saasa laughs, coughs]

[gasps] Ba Saasa!
Do you need help getting home?

Mm-mm. Don't worry.
I'll be back and better tomorrow, eh?

[laughs, coughing]

-[mysterious music continues]
-[engine starts]

Monde's right.

There's definitely something-something
fishy-fishy going on here.

[Komana's father coughing]

[Zee] Komana, my guy, people are
scratching themselves crazy, ekse.

I didn't see or hear one single mosquito.

And?

Temwe and Zee got all itchy
after they were hit with that gun. Ah!

Alley Gator was dumping in the sewers!

♪ When you're alone in my hut... ♪

[Komana's father coughing]

[Zee] And now,
all these other people are itchy,

not to mention coughing, eye irritation...

And no food at the market. Mm.

-It's crazy town, bane.
-[body thuds]

-But how does it all connect?
-[Komana's father coughing]

Everyone's saying
it all started happening yesterday.

Coincidentally, after
Magz Power was turned on.

It's actually quite random,
mathematically speaking.

What kind of maths are you doing
if you can't add all these things together

and see they equal a problem
bigger than even me?

Iwe, Temwe. So you can make jokes
about your size, but if we do it...?

[Komana's father coughing]

I'm sorry, but I have to go help my dad.
Talk to you later.

-[mysterious music playing]
-[Komana's father coughing]

[door closes]

Be careful with that mineral, comrade.

This is the zebra
that will lead us to the watering hole.

It is the only clue we have
to help us find that masked man.

Also, keep it away
from that pretty goat of yours

before it tries to eat it.

[chuckles]
Why you insist on a goat for a pet?

[Mama K laughs]

[engine starts]

[ominous music playing]

[sighs]

[Monde] Everyone's saying
it all started happening yesterday.

Coincidentally, after
Magz Power was turned on.

There's no such thing as coincidence.

So how do these random things add up?

[investigative music playing]

[gasps]

Why does this
Magz Power mineral seem so familiar?

What is it?

How did you choose solar
as your power source?

Well, I looked into
a number of energy resources,

geothermal, wind,

even an extremely rare mineral
called Zambinite.

Ah, yes. I've heard of that mineral.

[gasps]

[investigative music continues]

[chuckles]
Did Mr. Magedzee actually find Zambinite?

[gasps] This is so amazing!

Oh no. I have to tell Team 4.

-[Komana sighs]
-[footsteps pacing]

So, I think you guys were right.

Huh?

I'm pretty sure the Magz Power source
Mr. Magedzee is using

is actually Zambinite.

Ah, ah, ah. Zambinite?

Here's the problem.
The Zambinite is highly unstable

and generates toxic waste
when converted to energy.

Didn't we learn this in chemistry class?

Ah! And that's why
everyone is getting sick.

What did I say?

Cough plus itch
plus no market food equals what?

Say it with me, a bad, bad problem!

We need to tell Mr. Magedzee
the Zambinite is toxic,

but he'll be heartbroken, crushed.

It will be the end of Magz Power.
We'll have to go back to load shedding.

Mr. Magedzee will lose MPC.
I'll lose my scholarship.

MPC gone, my future at MPC gone.

But if I don't tell him,
people will keep getting sick.

Everyone's future will be ruined.

[gasps] There will be no future.

I have to tell Mr. Magedzee.
Thank you for talking me through this!

Mm-hmm. Good chat.

-[Komana] But I don't know if I can.
-[Monde] "I"?

Did you think you were going alone?

Iwe, Komana. We are a team,
on and off the field.

Besides, Zee, "Team 1" is the worst name.

It doesn't even make sense.

-[elevator bell dings]
-[inspirational music playing]

[Chompsie bleats]

Iwe, Chompsie. Those eyes are for who?

You know
I could not take you to Chi's house,

but I brought you some guazas!

[Chompsie bleating happily]

[munching]

Ah. Looks like the girls have been busy.

Busy making a mess.

Hmm.

[intriguing music playing]

Ah.

Hmm.

[Mayor Sikazwe humming]

Who's the best mayor ever, hm?

-I am, I am! [laughs]
-Sir. I...

Who gave the people of Lusaka
stable power?

-Sir...
-Hmm? Hmm?

-I did, I did! [laughs]
-Mayor?

The people's boos will now become woos!

Mayor!

Eh-eh-eh.
Why are you trying to shove me with papers

like I'm a recycling bin, hm?

This is the last of
the MPC contracts to sign, Mayor.

I already gave Magedzee the rights.

What more does he want? Hmm?

My necklace and my job? Never!

What is this for?

The deal to allow Mr. Magedzee
to pay for his exclusive rights

to provide Lusaka with electricity.

Oh! [humming]

Eh-eh.
Why are you still standing here, hm?

Get that to Mr. Magedzee ASAP.

I need my money...

I mean, the city needs the money, ASAP.

Don't worry, sir.
I'll deliver them personally.

[laughs]

[sighs heavily] Mr. Magedzee, do you want
the good news or the bad news first?

Argh!

So, if all the other power sources
in the city have been destroyed,

and Mr. Magedzee
has to turn off Magz Power, then what?

Ooh! Does that mean
we'll get night vision goggles

to save people in the dark? Yes!

[Monde] Ah, shame.

Mr. Magedzee's timing for finding
a solution to the power problem

was on point.

Lusaka really needed his help.

He just swooped in and saved the day!

All the days.

Yeah, his timing was perfect.

Almost too perfect,
if you catch what I mean.

No, I don't!

Hmm. Mr. Magedzee has become a big hero.

Now he's basically
the most powerful man in the city.

[detector beeping]

[monitors beeping]

-[intriguing music playing]
-[T.O.M.I.] Incoming results, Mama K.

The mamina detector
has identified the substance

as a derivative
from the mineral Zambinite.

Eh?

Zambinite?

I've never heard of that before.

Time to find out what you are.

[intriguing music continues]

[detector beeping and whirring]

Think about it, vantu vanga.

We found it weird that so many people
could be sick at the exact same time,

but isn't it weirder
that all our power sources

were actually destroyed
one after the other?

Right! By a bunch
of not-so-great vima villains!

Uh-huh! All a villain really wants
is to gain power,

and what could be
the ultimate way to do that?

To literally control power!

Imwe! Do you think all those bad guys
were actually working for him?

Uh-huh.

[gasps] Imwe!

Then this is Mr. Magedzee's big secret.

-He is the baddest man!
-[dramatic music playing]

[monitors beeping]

[mysterious music playing]

T.O.M.I., activate the crime board.

[computer beeping]

So this masked man's henchmen
have mainly attacked power sources.

Hmm. Clever-clever.

He never gets his hands dirty.

Switch screens, T.O.M.I.

Show me all the prominent people
there during those attacks.

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

It's not Mr. Nkwashi. We have proven that.

[monitor beeping]

[laughs] The mayor? Corrupt, yes.

But with that big ego, there's no space
for thinking other things.

-[monitor beeps]
-[Mama K] Likando.

Smart woman, good heart. Not her.

Mr. Sibanda.
Hey, we know what happened to him.

Geoffrey. Ha!
Too busy-busy shining on camera. Heh.

[monitor beeping]

And Mr. Magedzee
is the proud son of Lusaka,

always coming to the aid
of the people at every disaster.

[sighs] So, what am I missing?

And we saw Alley Gator
dumping toxic waste.

Can you see the dots connecting, my guy?

Dots connecting? No, I don't.

The barrels!

When I saw Storm Drain in Magedzee's lab,

those barrels were there.

Look, the toxic waste
Alley Gator was dumping

must have been
the same waste coming from the lab.

How did I miss this before, bane?

And we've already seen the Crusty Croc
and the Weather Weirdo working together.

-[T.O.M.I.] Incoming results, Mama K.
-[monitor beeping]

-Hm.
-[Komana] Look!

What more do you need
to show Mr. Magedzee is innocent?

Maybe all that stuff is just fake news.

Fake news? Seriously?!

Fine. I'll call the university
and prove to you he's not a liar.

Oh! Maybe Mr. Magedzee has an evil twin.

Yes! When I was spying on him,
he didn't sound like himself!

Awe. You guys,
that only happens in TV shows.

[T.O.M.I.] Confirmed.
The mineral is identified as Zambinite.

Wait! Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

They are both Zambinite?

I'm sorry? What do you mean
he was never on your honor list?

[woman] I've checked all our records,

and Lee Magedzee
never even attended our school.

Thank you so much. Goodbye.

[dramatic music playing]

He... he lied.

His school, his past.

Hmm.

[Komana] If he was lying about that,

then maybe... he could be
lying about everything else.

[Mama K] Zambinite.

[Komana]
Mr. Magedzee is behind everything.

[Mama K gasps]

Mr. Magedzee is behind everything.

[dramatic music playing]

[static on screen]

[Mama K wails] Ah, ah, ah, ah.

No. What?

How could he? Why would he?

I can't believe I trusted him,
admired him, believed him!

Liar!

[panting] Komana's looking like I do
when I get hungry!

[Monde] Komana!

-[Zee panting] Whoa!
-[Temwe wails, grunts]

Sisi, let's channelize some calm

and be sure about what we're going to do.

[Komana growls angrily]

Hey! Komana's going to
burn down the byu-byu with her eyes

before we even get inside!

If Mr. Magedzee really is the masked man
who kidnapped us in the mines,

we have to go in there prepared.

Professor Greenthumbs?

You escaped from jail?

You are going to pay for locking up

Ha! Be careful, Auntie.
I'm packing a mean herbicide back here.

Speaking of toxins,

I've got my own new concoction
ready for the testing.

Is that the...

Waste from the Zambinite?

What smart little buds you are.

[Mama K scoffs]
You think you're clever breaking in here?

I know who you are
and what you've been doing, Magedzee!

[Bad Magz] As clever as you, no?

I see you have done
some deep investigating.

Pity it all ends today, Kumbukani.

I think you'll soon discover
that these small pods

pack a big punch.
