0:00:02 > 0:00:06Since the creation of yin and yang, there has been a spirit world,
0:00:06 > 0:00:09filled with magic and myth.
0:00:09 > 0:00:14It is protected by five Spirit Warriors,
0:00:14 > 0:00:16but a new evil has risen
0:00:16 > 0:00:20and a new generation of warriors called to save us all.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34The next Spirit Piece resides with a true king,
0:00:34 > 0:00:37and only a true leader may take it.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Where's that tapping noise coming from?
0:00:40 > 0:00:43It's definitely over here.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48I am Bo, one true warrior and leader of the Spirit Warriors.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Make yourself known to me!
0:00:50 > 0:00:52What's wrong with, "Hi, I'm Bo!"?
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Don't, or she'll start her Bomeister thing.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57I repeat, I am Bo, one true warrior and Spirit leader.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Make yourself known to me.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Greetings!
0:01:01 > 0:01:06Do not fear me. I am but an old blind beggar.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Let me feel your face, one true warrior.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12She's actually just my sister.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Why follow you this path?
0:01:15 > 0:01:18We cometh to this place to seeketh a true leader.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- Then I can help you.- Result!
0:01:20 > 0:01:23You are in the land of the monkey people.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Surely you have heard tell of them?
0:01:25 > 0:01:30- Nah. Sorry.- The monkey people are wild and know no rules or order.
0:01:30 > 0:01:36To enter their land is to enter into a world of chaos and confusion.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40- And bananas!- They have a king,
0:01:40 > 0:01:42but he rules only while he amuses his subjects.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46You will find him on this path. Good luck!
0:01:48 > 0:01:50HE CACKLES
0:01:58 > 0:02:00So the warriors will journey
0:02:00 > 0:02:02to the land of the monkey people.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Theirs is the only kingdom not yet in my power.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- The Spirit Piece must therefore reside with him.- You mean...
0:02:09 > 0:02:10Do not mention his name!
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Master, forgive me. I forgot.
0:02:12 > 0:02:18- The Monkey King's victory was but a stroke of luck.- Of course, Master.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20A stroke of luck. What else?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Get the Spirit Piece and make the monkey people bow before me.
0:02:25 > 0:02:31- With the Nian at my side, I cannot fail.- The monkey people are quick.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35They will overpower you before you can summon your warriors.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- Then how...? - Win the monkey people's trust.
0:02:39 > 0:02:44- Here, offer them this.- A bottle?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- A peace offering. - You wish peace?- Of course, Hwang!
0:02:47 > 0:02:52When their kingdom lies in ashes and their chattering has stopped,
0:02:52 > 0:02:54there will indeed be peace.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02- What's your problem? - I want the old Bo back!
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Not "the one true warrior".
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- My sister!- I've been chosen!
0:03:06 > 0:03:09I'm your sister, but I've got a bigger job to do.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Saving the world, remember?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15You can't... SHE SCREAMS
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Jen?
0:03:16 > 0:03:18SCREECHING
0:03:24 > 0:03:25Get off me!
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Stop hitting me.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34They've got Trix!
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Help!
0:03:37 > 0:03:43Aaaaaaah! Aaaaaaah!
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Let us down!
0:03:47 > 0:03:49MONKEY PEOPLE SCREECH
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- Get off me!- All right! Get off.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Human prisoners.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Prepare to meet your esteemed captor...
0:04:15 > 0:04:19banana-eating champion of all the monkey world.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22He has your fate in his hands.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27King Bonobo the 14th and a half!
0:04:27 > 0:04:30MONKEY PEOPLE SCREECH
0:04:30 > 0:04:33MONKEY KING CHATTERS
0:04:33 > 0:04:36APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- That's your king?- Yup.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Anyone can be king.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44As long as they're funny.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45You say you want to be king,
0:04:45 > 0:04:48challenge the old one to a ritual battle
0:04:48 > 0:04:51and then win. Now, shh!
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I say we throw them in the dung-heap!
0:04:59 > 0:05:02SCATTERED LAUGHTER
0:05:03 > 0:05:05OK.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08I say we pelt their heads with coconuts,
0:05:08 > 0:05:10then we throw them in the dung-heap, huh?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13SCATTERED LAUGHTER
0:05:13 > 0:05:16HE YAWNS
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- Done it before.- No? OK.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23I say we...
0:05:23 > 0:05:28I say we cover them in honey and then tie them to a termites' nest...
0:05:28 > 0:05:30then we use them for coconut target practice,
0:05:30 > 0:05:33then we throw them in the dung-heap, huh?!
0:05:33 > 0:05:35LAUGHTER AND CHEERING
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Oh, yeah. Let's do it!
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- Trix!- Jen!
0:05:52 > 0:05:55The plants are against us.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- This forest wants us to be lost. - Shh!
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Do you need some help?
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- Let us go!- You could stop this if you wanted to.- How?
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Like I told you - challenge the king.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Bonobo has been getting a bit stale.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- Bad idea, Jen! - You think I can't do it?
0:06:19 > 0:06:21The blood isn't back in your brain yet.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- I'd be the bestest king they've ever had.- Jen!
0:06:24 > 0:06:25I am the Monkey King.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30Hey, monkeys, I'll offer you non-stop fun.
0:06:30 > 0:06:31Hey, I AM fun!
0:06:31 > 0:06:35So I challenge Bonobo to the becoming king ritual thingy.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41What?
0:06:41 > 0:06:44If you lose, your life is forfeit.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Forfeit? Is that good or bad?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- It means we don't throw you in the dung-heap.- That's good.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Instead, we throw you to the alligators.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58BONOBO LAUGHS
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Hwang, you are slow with news of your efforts.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07The monkey people are about to fight another election.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- Who is the newest candidate? - It could not be better for us, Lord.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12It is the youngest girl warrior.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16With her as leader, they will be even easier to surprise.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19She will soon discover there are few who truly lead.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22The rest must obey.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Perhaps I am one of the few.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28HE LAUGHS
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Close our eyes?!
0:07:35 > 0:07:40Three words - he must be kidding.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42All right, four words.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44It is your only choice.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47To find your way through this forest,
0:07:47 > 0:07:50you must stop relying on your outer eyes.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Come on.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55As weird as it sounds, we have to give it a go.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00- No way, girl.- Vicky...- So childish.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06If I break a single item of my person, you will SO regret it.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19I think it's working.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21I spoke the truth.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25Sometimes we see when we do not look.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Behind you!
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- He's making a monkey out of you! - I'm fighting a snail!
0:08:39 > 0:08:43A-ha! Scared? Monkey-chicken, monkey-chicken!
0:08:45 > 0:08:48LAUGHTER
0:08:59 > 0:09:01LAUGHTER
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Those laughs are mine!
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Come here and say that.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15LAUGHTER
0:09:20 > 0:09:24OK. You think you're fast? This is fast.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36LAUGHTER
0:09:38 > 0:09:42That was rubbish. Check this!
0:10:07 > 0:10:11That was OK, but we prefer funny.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14OK, I'll do it again, but this time it'll be funny.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Ready? It'll be fast.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20One, two, three...
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- Go on then.- What? Did you miss it?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30LAUGHTER
0:10:34 > 0:10:39Monkeys, we have a new king!
0:10:54 > 0:10:59- You did it! - "You did it...Your Majesty."
0:11:00 > 0:11:02The Spirit Piece!
0:11:09 > 0:11:10Good.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13So the girl wears the crown.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16It is yours to take from her, if you can.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17I shall not disappoint you.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19She is only a young child.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Beware of arrogance.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25She wears the crown. She has climbed higher than you ever have.
0:11:25 > 0:11:30And her fall is soon upon her.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36'This is no game!
0:11:36 > 0:11:41- 'Tonight we play!- No! Li will return and he will destroy us!'
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Jen, we've got to get out of here.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50- It's not safe.- It is! I'm a king, They want me to muck about.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Li has a score to settle with these guys.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Get this thing off and let's go.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59You do not leave the palace while you wear the crown.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03We must protect our great king.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07See? No way can we go. I'm king!
0:12:07 > 0:12:11- Then what is your first wish, O supreme mistress?- Party!
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Come on, yeah!
0:12:28 > 0:12:29Are we there yet?
0:12:31 > 0:12:35The monkey palace!
0:12:35 > 0:12:41- Right, we need a plan. Martin, find out where Jen and Trix are.- OK.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Er, they're OK.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01But, er, we need to be, um...
0:13:01 > 0:13:03- Need to be what?- Quick.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07- What exactly did you see?- Um...
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- Just say it!- I think Jen's going to get eaten by monkeys.- What?!
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Look, Trix. Monkeys eat doughnuts!
0:13:36 > 0:13:38IT SCREECHES
0:13:39 > 0:13:43What did you have for lunch? I heard your stomach rumbling.
0:13:43 > 0:13:44You have a really bad tummy.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47You should go to bed, right now!
0:13:48 > 0:13:50BEGGAR LAUGHS
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Jen, stay focused. We've got to get out of here!
0:13:57 > 0:13:59We're totally safe.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02I'm the king! I'm a one true leader, like Shen said.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05KNOCKING AT DOOR
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Oh! Er, come in.
0:14:18 > 0:14:23PANICKED SCREECHING
0:14:23 > 0:14:26You just let the bad guy into your home!
0:14:26 > 0:14:28SCREECHING CONTINUES
0:14:28 > 0:14:30HE GROWLS
0:14:37 > 0:14:43Esteemed tree-dwellers, I come in peace to pay homage
0:14:43 > 0:14:46to you and your great king.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50- You lie, Hwang!- No, brave Howler.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53I surrender my ring.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03And so am unable to summon my Nian warriors.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06I bring salutations from Li,
0:15:06 > 0:15:09who wishes to forget the past
0:15:09 > 0:15:14and forge a fruitful bond between our peoples.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20HE KNOCKS
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Great Monkey King?
0:15:23 > 0:15:25We're toast.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27So now you're focused!
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Hold on. I'm the king.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- These monkeys will do as I say, right?- No, Jen!
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Hi. Welcome to MY kingdom.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41I'm the king, I'm wearing a crown,
0:15:41 > 0:15:45and all these monkeys are looking out for me, so you'd better be, er, nice.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53Majesty, only a fool would upset
0:15:53 > 0:15:56such a powerful king.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Don't nod at him. He's buttering you up!
0:15:59 > 0:16:00Go on.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Wait, Bo! Let's see what he's up to before we steam in.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17Let us celebrate your greatness
0:16:17 > 0:16:20with a bottle of finest coconut cordial.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24It will bring a smile to all Your Majesty's subjects!
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Don't drink that, girl.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34- She's not stupid.- You reckon?
0:16:38 > 0:16:40- Hey!- Jen, banish him!
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Is the king frightened of a little drink?
0:16:43 > 0:16:44Give me that.
0:16:44 > 0:16:45This is a rescue!
0:16:48 > 0:16:50I don't need to be rescued!
0:16:50 > 0:16:52- Well, you're being rescued. - Not so fast!
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- Ow!- Leave Our Majesty alone!- Stop!
0:16:55 > 0:16:58MONKEY PEOPLE BOO
0:16:58 > 0:16:59How dare you attack me!
0:16:59 > 0:17:03- Yes, Your Majesty, you should arrest them.- Good idea. Arrest them.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- Get off me! She doesn't mean us. - I especially mean you!
0:17:08 > 0:17:12You weren't listening! I'm the king now. I'm respected, I'm obeyed and...
0:17:12 > 0:17:15And they've committed an offence.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19- You've committed... Howler? - High treason.- Good. High treason.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20Very, very high treason.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Jen, I'm your sister!
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- Is this your final word, Great Majesty?- She's not Her Majesty.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27She's a total clown!
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Right, that's it! The word of the king must be obeyed!
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Blast us out of here! - Whoa! What did you just do?
0:17:33 > 0:17:35- Him too?- Yes, him too.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52I'm guessing the punishment for very, very high treason is bad.
0:17:52 > 0:17:57No. It's very, very bad.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03- Jen won't let this happen. - Speaking of which,
0:18:03 > 0:18:07with your big cheese act, I'd have locked you up if she hadn't.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09What?!
0:18:09 > 0:18:11It's true.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- Martin?- Er...well, um...
0:18:14 > 0:18:18Why's he looking so cool?
0:18:18 > 0:18:20He's up to something.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24Hwang, you are further from the Piece than before.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Outwitted by a little girl?!
0:18:26 > 0:18:29The Monkey King's victory was but a stroke of luck, Master.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Be careful, Hwang.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Why do you not challenge the girl?
0:18:33 > 0:18:37If you win, the monkeys will make YOU king.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38I don't think I'm funny enough.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41I will soon be out of patience, Hwang!
0:18:47 > 0:18:52- Howler, the king needs to have a sleep. Where's my bed?- Here.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59But this is hard.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01I mean, REALLY hard!
0:19:01 > 0:19:04You sleep here in case we need you.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Today was fun.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10- Yup.- But tomorrow must be more fun.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12But that is no problem, is it?
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Nope. Easy-peasy.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19Matter of interest, how long do rulers usually rule for, roughly?
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Our real king, Spider,
0:19:22 > 0:19:27managed to rule us for years and every day was fun-packed.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33He was the one who outwitted Lord Li at the battle of Deng River.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37But he got too serious. He was always worrying about Lord Li.
0:19:37 > 0:19:43We were going to vote him out, but one morning he was gone anyway.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50And tomorrow morning, buddy, we'll let Bo and the others go.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54The word of the king is final.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24The rescuer has been caught.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28Yes, and the rescuer feels confused.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31I think everyone's right.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35I did let it go to my head a bit. A tiny bit.
0:20:35 > 0:20:41A true leader must also learn to let people make their own mistakes.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Remember the forest?
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Letting go is the hardest thing to do,
0:20:46 > 0:20:49but you can do this.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Even with troublesome little sisters.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Hello? Howler!
0:21:08 > 0:21:10The king wants her breakfast!
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Howler! The king's feeling peckish.

0:21:16 > 0:21:21Get off me! Don't touch me! Get off!
0:21:35 > 0:21:40Monkeys! The verdict has been spoken by our king.
0:21:40 > 0:21:47These humans are all found guilty of very, very high treason.
0:21:47 > 0:21:52OK, Howler, boys, this was just a reminder. Let them go now.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54The word of the king must be obeyed.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58The punishment for very, very high treason is death.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02Whoa! I was teaching my sister a lesson! Let them go.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06- The word of the king must be obeyed. Did you not say that?- I did. But...
0:22:06 > 0:22:08- And are you the king?- But...
0:22:08 > 0:22:12ALL: The word of the king must be obeyed!
0:22:12 > 0:22:16- Jen!- No! Let them go! That's the new word of the king.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Please! I made a BIG mistake.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23You'll have to kill me too! That's my friends, my sister.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25I really didn't mean it.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29ALL: The word of the king must be obeyed!
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Unless... Remember the challenge, Majesty.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Hey! That's true. Great. Everyone!
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Does anyone want to be Monkey King?
0:22:38 > 0:22:42It's great fun! So, anyone?
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Challenge me! Come on, give me a break here!
0:22:46 > 0:22:47Stop!
0:22:48 > 0:22:51I am the Monkey King!
0:22:51 > 0:22:53My people...I return.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55I have travelled far.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57I searched for an answer.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59I found that answer.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01And now I am back.
0:23:01 > 0:23:06Then I declare a search for a new king over.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08The true king, Spider, is back!
0:23:11 > 0:23:15Release the prisoners. Release ALL the prisoners.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29I offer my felicitous wishes from Lord Li,
0:23:29 > 0:23:31and I hope for peace between us.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Will you not drink with me to celebrate your return?
0:23:59 > 0:24:01HWANG LAUGHS
0:24:02 > 0:24:04- Run!- Which way?- This way!- Quick!
0:24:06 > 0:24:08They're everywhere!
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Over here!
0:24:12 > 0:24:15It is hopeless! That bottle will continue to pour...
0:24:17 > 0:24:19..until the Monkey Kingdom is no more!
0:24:19 > 0:24:23- Hwang! Are you not curious?- Stop!
0:24:26 > 0:24:31You have not asked me why I left and what great thing I learned.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33I learnt that to defeat the Nian,
0:24:33 > 0:24:35you need to do this...
0:24:38 > 0:24:41So win, my monkeys, win! Win!
0:24:41 > 0:24:44- No! Destroy them!- Go!
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Jen, the bottle!
0:25:11 > 0:25:15No! No, destroy them! Destroy all of them!
0:25:21 > 0:25:24- He's got the ring... and the Spirit Piece!- No!
0:25:43 > 0:25:47The Monkey Spirit Piece.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Only a true leader may take it.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52And do the monkey people bow before me?
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Next time.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01A true leader does all he promises to do.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09OK. Listen carefully.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12I'm your big sister and you might never hear this again.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14I'm sorry I got too big for my boots.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17I accept you're sorry.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22OK, and, as ex-king, I say sorry back.
0:26:24 > 0:26:30From now on the monkey people are your allies. Li will not win.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32He might. We lost the Spirit Piece.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34That's what you were after!
0:26:34 > 0:26:38- Howler, didn't we have some more of those?- Yes, Sire.
0:26:38 > 0:26:39- What?- I had them somewhere.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50- Look! It's the Horse Piece. - And the Rooster.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53When we were the only ones that could outwit Li,
0:26:53 > 0:26:55we were entrusted with these.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58And now a true leader may take them.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Use them well.
0:27:01 > 0:27:033-2! Game on!
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Warriors, draw near!
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Behold, you enter a new world.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Welcome to the world of water.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Gar-Yow!
0:27:33 > 0:27:37- The Piece. That's it. - It brings misfortune.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41The temple you seek is a place of fear.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45- Mum! No!- The Warriors, should we let them keep the Spirit Piece,
0:27:45 > 0:27:47or should we take it from them?
