[Sweetie] "A Visit from the Bearded Dragon."
Little Boo, comin' through! [grunts]
That's my new way of getting in the car.
What do you think?
Awesome! Let me try one.
[Endicott grunts] Ow!
[exclaiming]
What is that thing?
-I don't know. -[Endicott grunts]
But it looks like someone needs our help!
Let's go!
Where am I, and why am I surrounded by chickens?
Because we're the Chicken Squad:
Coop, Sweetie, and Little Boo!
Are you OK, Mister, uh...?
The name is Endicott, and I'm perfectly fine.
I just hope your yard hasn't damaged my terrarium.
Your terrarium looks OK to me.
You have no idea what a terrarium is, do you?
Not a clue!
A terrarium is a glass home for reptiles.
Oh! Like a fishbowl without water, for a lizard.
[gasps] Lizard?!
I, Madame, am no ordinary lizard.
I am a bearded dragon, the most special lizard of all!
Would a regular lizard have solid gold furniture?
Or silk sheets? Or priceless art?
-I'm not sure. -I have no idea.
Looks like you forgot to recycle your bottles.
I'll get them!
That's my collection of hand-blown glass!
It's all very fragile and could break easily.
If stuff in here can break easily,
why did you roll into our yard?
Not by choice, I can assure you.
A few seconds ago, my terrarium--
That's this place!
--was safely with my human family.
They're moving to a new house,
and they packed everything into a moving van.
But my terrarium fell off the van,
slid down this hill, and I ended up... here.
Oh, so you've lost your family?
It appears so.
Well, Endicott, you're in luck.
Because we're going to find your family
and get you home!
We've got our charge, Chicken Squad!
Sweetie, Chicken Ladder!
Endicott, do you remember what color
your human family's moving van was?
Crimson. No, maroon.
Actually, it was more of a bright burgundy
with vermilion accents.
We don't know what any of those words mean.
"Red." They all mean "red."
Red. Got it!
[Coop gasps] I see a red van!
[gasps] With vermilion accents?
That could be my family's van!
[Coop] It's parked in front of the house,
and it looks like they're moving in.
There's all kinds of boxes
and some sort of yellow couch without sides?
It's called a "chaise lounge," and yes!
That's definitely my family's house!
Great! And they're only a couple blocks away.
We could walk you there right now.
You'll be home with your family before you know it.
Walk? [scoffs] I won't be walking anywhere.
I only travel via terrarium.
So, "via" is like a bike, or...?
I'm saying I only travel in my terrarium.
I don't like the outside world. It's messy and scary
and frightfully low on solid gold canopy beds.
Your terrarium is huge.
How are we supposed to get it all the way to that house?
[sighs] Do I have to come up with all the solutions?
It's all right. I've got an idea!
The terrarium is tied securely to the car,
and we're ready to go.
Endicott, we'll get you to your family in no time!
Even faster if you'd stop talking and start driving.
[tires squealing]
Uh-oh. Looks like the terrarium is too heavy.
The tires are just digging holes.
Hey, Endicott, could you maybe get rid of some of your stuff?
Absolutely not! I need every single item in here!
You need a giant frying pan?
It's a crepe maker!
What am I supposed to eat for brunch?
[gags] Pancakes?!
-I love pancakes! -[Endicott] Great story.
While you go on and on about your breakfast habits,
this terrarium isn't going to tow itself. So, get to it!
Wait. Are you saying we should pull the terrarium by hand?
Well, I'm certainly not going to do it!
Maybe we should let him find his own way home.
He's not being very, uh, nice.
He's just upset, because he misses his family.
We have to help him.
Sweetie's right. We're the Chicken Squad.
We help everyone!
OK, I hear a lot of talk about helping,
but I'm not seeing any actual helping.
We're on it! Though, you know,
you could at least say "please."
How's this? Could you please stop wasting time
telling me what to say?
[all groaning]
Argh! Could you please pull at a steady pace?!
-[rope pulling] -Argh!
I don't know what's bothering me more:
your herky-jerky pulling,
or the fact it's absolutely freezing in here!
You're freezing? Really?
Because I'm sweating!
Lizards are cold-blooded,
so it's hard for them to get warm.
[both groaning]
Well, if it'll get him to stop complaining...
When did you learn how to knit?
There's a lot you don't know about me, Coop.
Here you go!
Now, what do you say?
I say... yikes, this sweater is scratchy!
I was thinking more of like a "thank you."
[blows raspberry]
[chickens groaning]
What's with all this bumping around?
Need I remind you, I'm painting a masterpiece.
Sorry. It's just,
there are a lot of cracks in the sidewalk.
Then smooth it out!
Smooth out the sidewalk? Are you serious?
Well, I have been working on plans
for a sidewalk smoother. The plans are pretty basic.
When did you have time to draw up those plans?
There's a lot you don't know about me, Boo.
Less talking, more smoothing!
[glass bottle rolling]
Ooh, hello, what is that?
Looks like a perfect addition
to my collection of hand-blown glass.
[all straining]
Endicott, no! It's gonna tip!
[all straining]
-[all panting] -Don't worry! We're coming!
[grunts]
[strains, grunts]
[all grunt]
Endicott! Are you okay?
No! Not at all! My terrarium is out of control,
and-- [gasps] --we might lose
the single greatest work of art ever created!
We have to find a way to slow down this terrarium!
[both yelp]
Yes, and if anything happens to it,
I will become far less pleasant!
[all screaming]
[all scream, grunting]
Everyone OK?
-I'm fine. -[falling sound]
Yep.
[Endicott screaming]
[Sweetie] Oh, Endicott, we're so sorry.
We were just trying to help.
But you didn't help, did you?
And now I'm even farther from home,
and I'm never gonna find my family!
Don't give up. We can still find them.
We? [scoffs] There is no more "we."
I officially relieve you of your charged duty
for all rights and purposes forthwith!
Right, so that means...?
It means, go away and leave me alone!
I don't want your help! Good day!
[door squeaking]
Maybe if you pulled the bottom up first,
and then slammed the--
[groans] Good day!
I know Endicott wasn't very nice to us.
But I still feel bad about leaving him.
Yeah, but he kept saying he didn't want our help.
I guess.
Look! It's Endicott's sweater!
Oh, the poor guy must be freezing.
You know what? We should bring it to him.
Maybe it'll make him feel a little bit better.
Good idea. It's the least we can do.
Let's take the squad car so we can get there faster.
Oh, come on, you crepe maker!
Do as your name implies, and make crepes!
Don't add to my misery by forcing me
to eat, oh, pancakes.
Aw. Poor Endicott.
He seems really scared.
He might say he doesn't need our help, but he does.
He has no other way of getting home.
We're the Chicken Squad. Helping others is what we do.
Right, we help everyone.
Even if they complain constantly,
criticize everyone,
try to sound smart by using big words,
don't appreciate a beautiful, hand-knit sweater...
My point is, we still should help him.
Hey, how's it going?
What are you doing back here?
We brought you your sweater.
Oh... [chuckles]
That was a kind gesture.
We also came back because we want to help get you home.
Come on. Let us drive you back to your family.
And leave my terrarium behind?
[glass breaking]
I don't think you can live here anymore.
[sighs] I suppose that's true.
Fine. I'll go.
Great! And we know
it's your first time outside your terrarium,
but there's no need to be scared.
We'll even bring along some of your stuff!
We promise to make this the best road trip ever!
Oh, please don't.
[upbeat music playing]
And that's how I learned the difference
between a crescent wrench and a monkey wrench!
Remind me to have you retell that story
the next time I'm having trouble falling asleep.
There's the red moving van!
Is that your human family's house?
I think it is! I'm home!
Oh, wow! There's my terrarium!
What are you talking about?
Your terrarium's still at the creek.
Oh, that old thing? That was my travel terrarium.
This is the terrarium I live in when I'm home!
-Wow! -Whoa!
Look, I have to, uh... thank you for getting me home.
I know I'm not the easiest to get along with,
and, well, I appreciate your helping me anyway.
You're welcome.
We'd do it again in a heartbeat.
Well, I don't know about that--
In a heartbeat!
Thanks. Maybe you can come by and play polo sometime.
Great! How about right now?
Right now?! Well, uh...
It's getting pretty late. I-- I'm sure you guys are tired.
-I'm not tired! -Me, neither!
-Yeah, let's play! -Oh, uh...
I mean... I need some time to get the field prepared.
-Tomorrow, it is! -[sighs]
[chuckles nervously]
[Coop] "The Bark Files."
[panting] It's here! It's here!
The latest installment of The Bark Files!
-The What-Files? -The Bark Files!
It's my favorite book series
about Rex Barkerson, Super Detective!
Rex Barkerson solves cases by using
his Trench Coat of Invisibility!
It looks like he disappeared!
Exactly! Since no one can see him,
Rex can sneak up on a supervillain
to learn their secret plans.
Sometimes, he uses the Stare of Truth.
-[both scream] -Which makes people tell the truth!
-Cool! -Wow!
And sometimes, he uses the Hat Trick,
where he throws his hat to stop a supervillain.
Rex never fails to solve a case.
This Rex character sounds pretty tough.
He reminds me of me.
-[squawk box alarm sounds] -Aah!
OK, tough guy, someone needs our help.
[alarm sounding]
Gather 'round, Squad.
This is Maisie, and she needs your help.
Chicken Squad at your service, Maisie!
[sighs] Thank goodness you're here.
The key to my hay shed is missing,
and I can't seem to get in.
Maisie thinks someone took the key
so they could eat all her hay.
This is just like the story from The Bark Files!
The Bark Files?
You know those stories are pretend, right?
Yes, but maybe they're based on real cases.
After all, nobody knows who writes the books.
-It's a mystery! -[clears throat]
Won't someone, anyone, help a sheep in trouble?
Don't worry, Maisie. You're in good hands
with the Chicken Squad.
Squad, I have a great idea!
Why don't we solve this case just like Rex Barkerson?
Like do all the things he would do?
Exactly!
And that's gonna happen soon, I hope?
Yep! Squad, we have our charge for today:
get Maisie's key back, Bark Files-style!

Can we look for my key, already?
Uh... I mean, pretty please?
-Oh... right. -My key was red.
The last time I saw it was at the farm next door.
We're going to get some answers.
To the farm!
With our Coats of Invisibility,
no one can see us!
[Monty] Morning, Chicken Squad.
Hey, I like your coats!
Pretty sure Monty could see us, Coop.
We-- We must not be doing this right.
What would Rex Barkerson do next?
He'd question his witnesses using the Stare of Truth.
-[dramatic sting] -[both gasp]
We'll get them to tell us where the key is.
Where were you on the night
the key to the hay shed went missing?
The key to the hay shed was stolen?! I didn't know that.
-Didn't you, Pinky? -[dramatic sting]
Coop, what's wrong with your eyes?
[dramatic sting]
[increasingly dramatic stings]
The Stare of Truth is giving me a headache.
I don't think this Bark Files-style
investigation is working.
But the Stare of Truth always works for Rex Barkerson!
But... we're not Rex.
Yeah. You're right.
So we need to be more like Rex!

-Whoa! -Coop! Aah!
Uh... Oof!
Are you OK, Coop?
[gasps] The key!
I found it! See? Rex's way does work!
Did I hear you say you found my key?
Oh, goodie!
Weird. This is Monty the pony's house.
Why would he have Maisie's key?
I'm not sure. We should ask him.
[sighs] I'm so hungry
that I'm starting to feel dizzy!
Sorry, Maisie. We'll get your key first.
Thank you ever so much!
We'll use Rex's Hat Trick. It never misses.
[grunts]
Uh... maybe we should try
one of the Squad's tricks instead.
How about... Chicken Ladder?
[sighs]
[grunting]
-[Little Boo] Whoa! -[Sweetie struggling]
-Here you go. -I'm ever so grateful.
All in a day's-- Hey, where'd she go?
[door unlocking]
Wow. That's a lot of hay.
[flatly] Oh. You're still here.
[cheerily] I mean, it is a lot of hay.
Thank you so much for your help.
Now, my tummy's grumbling, so I'll just step inside
to eat, OK, buh-bye!
We did it, Squad!
We helped out that poor, hungry sheep.
Just like Rex Barkerson: Super Detective!
The one thing I don't understand
is why Monty would take Maisie's key.
He seems like such a nice pony.
Let's go ask him.
Hey, Chicken Squad!
My key to the hay shed has gone missing.
Have you seen it? It's red.
Your key? That key belongs to Maisie the sheep.
I don't know who you're talking about.
But... this doesn't make sense.
Come on, we'll-- we'll show you.
Maisie, i-it's me, Coop.
Maisie?
[gasps]
Hey, where's my hay?
Maisie was in the shed when we left,
and now, all the hay's gone.
You know what that means?
She tricked us into giving her the key,
so she could take Monty's hay!
Quick Coop, what should we do next?!
Uh...
What would Rex do?
He woulda never let this happen in the first place!
Rex never lets a supervillain get away!
I guess it's pretty clear. I'm no Rex.
[Coop groaning]
Oh! Hi, Coop.
How is the case going?
[groans]
Not good, huh?
I wanted to be like Rex, but I'm nothing like him.
Of course, you're not like Rex.
-Huh? -[laughs]
You're not Rex, you're Coop.
It's great that you like reading about Rex,
but it sounds like trying to do things the Rex way
hasn't worked out for you.
The Trench Coat of Invisibility just made us more visible,
my Stare of Truth didn't work,
and my Hat Trick was a total flop.
I think it might be time to try things the Coop way.
-What's that? -It's the way you do things every day!
You're a great Squad Leader, you invent new gadgets,
and you come up with plans. I'm a big fan of the Coop way.
You are? But I let Maisie get away.
For now. But the case isn't over yet.
You mean... I should try to find Maisie
so we can get Monty's hay back?
I'm sure you can do it. The Coop way.
[Sweetie] You mean it, Coop?
We're all done pretending to be Rex?
Yep. It's time to solve this case, Chicken Squad-style!
[tires squeal]
That trail could lead us right to Maisie.
-There she is. -[squealing]
[Sweetie] What's she doing?
[Coop] It looks like the doggy paddle.
[sighs]
I've got a plan to get Monty's hay.
Listen closely...
-[giggling] -[horn honking]
Found ya, Maisie!
[gasps]
Uh-oh!
May we please have a word with you?
[gasps]
[panting]
[gasps, grunting]
Unh!
Now that we have your attention,
you need to return that key and hay to Monty.
And apologize.
Oh-oh-oh, dear. Is this Monty's hay?
I seem to have made a terrible mistake!
I'll gladly return it. Just one moment.
Here you go.
[gasps, grunts] Oopsies!
The key!
I got it! I got it!
Ooh, I got it! I got it!
[grunting] Got it!
Nice try, Maisie!
Maisie? Where'd she go?
I don't know, I was watching the key!
She got away. I failed again!
No you didn't, Coop. We got Monty's hay and key back!
You're right. Good work, Squad!
Thanks for getting my key back. And my hay.
You're welcome, Monty. We'll try to keep Maisie
from taking them again.
Hopefully, these posters will help.
Now the whole farm knows who to look out for.
And next time, we won't
steal your key and give it to her.
What? I said we won't.
Well, I'm glad the Chicken Squad
is back to being their old selves.
Me, too.
I wish I could stick around, but I have
to get back to my... project.
