A child says, WHEE!

[Child giggling, upbeat music plays, popping]

[Canada geese honking, flapping]

A flock of Canada geese fly over the Wilde Shelter, a tall greenhouse filled with plants and animals. The geese also fly over a veterinary clinic and a two-storey house.

Text reads, “Watch Next Media, Image-In Atlantique, Peekaboo Animation Present.”

Inside the greenhouse, Audrey, a young girl with red hair in a ponytail, stands on a tree branch. She wears a yellow jacket over an olive green shirt, black pants, and brown boots. Audrey whistles and startles butterflies. Standing on a rock nearby, Tommy watches Jack, a gorilla, land on the branch beside Audrey. Tommy wears a pale blue long-sleeve shirt and pale grey pants. His black curly hair is short.

[Whistling, birds chirping, exclamation, laughter]

[Upbeat music plays, animals hooting]

Audrey swings on a vine with a golden lion tamarin clinging to her head. Tommy rides on Jack’s back as Jack swings from a second vine.

A person sings, OH, CAN YOU HEAR THEM, ANIMALS ARE CALLING. THEY ARE IN DANGER.

Audrey stands while sliding down a rock past Karl and Pat. Karl, a slender young man with black hair and eyeglasses, watches Audrey slide past. Pat bottle-feeds a large grey kitten with black spots. Her black hair is pulled into a ponytail. Tommy rides down the rock on Jack's back.

Text reads, “Created by Sylvain Huchet. Developed by Amy Brown. Designed by Sophie Castaignede, Remy Chanfreau, Benjamin Flouw, Nicolas Meneteau. In partnership with UNESCO.”

At the bottom of the sloped rock, Audrey runs past her parents and a giant panda. Audrey’s mom, Sonia, holds a blue clipboard. Her curly red hair is pulled into a ponytail. She wears a pink jacket, a blue shirt, and brown pants. Audrey’s dad, Hector, holds a bamboo shoot. He has short black hair, a dark grey beard and a stethoscope around his neck.

The singer sings, NATURE'S OUR PASSION, READY FOR ACTION.

Audrey and Jack, still carrying Tommy, run past Jonas, a man with curly red hair. He lifts a rake over his head and spins as they pass.

[Whooshing, upbeat music continues]

Text reads, “Directed by Alexandre Coste.”

Singers sing, TOGETHER.

Audrey pulls leaves to the side and reveals Tommy in a clearing with Jack, a giraffe, an elephant, and a gazelle.

The first singer sings, JOIN THE ADVENTURE.

Singers sing, THIS IS AUDREY'S SHELTER.

Title: Audrey’s Shelter.

Episode title: The Elusive Baby.

Text reads, “Story Edited by Syvain Huchet. Written by Clara Gérard. Storyboard by Vincent Fouache.”

[Upbeat music plays, birds chirping, animal squeaking, bicycle rattling, Tommy giggling]

The tall iron gates in front of the Shelter are open. Tommy rides his bicycle down the path and notices Pat carrying an animal carrier to the Veterinary clinic. Tommy drops his bicycle in front of the greenhouse and runs inside.

[Upbeat music plays]

Tommy says, OH!

[Birds cawing, footsteps crunching, birds singing]

Tommy shouts, HEY! AUDREY! YOOHOOOOO! AUDREY!

On a branch, Audrey says, HELLO, TOMMY!

Tommy says, HI THERE, AUDREY! HOW ARE YOU? UH... WHAT'RE YOU DOING SITTING UP THERE?

[Leaves rustling]

Audrey hangs upside down from a branch.

Audrey says, I'M HAVING A LITTLE REST WITH MY SLOTH FRIEND!

[Sophie vocalizing, leaves rustling, thumping]

Sophie, a sloth, hangs upside down beside Audrey. Audrey lets go of the branch and lands in front of Tommy.

Audrey asks, WHAT'S NEW?

Tommy says, I JUST SAW PAT BRINGING AN ANIMAL TO THE CLINIC! DO YOU KNOW WHAT SPECIES IT IS?

Audrey says, NO. BUT LET'S GO SEE IF MY DAD NEEDS HELP! LAST ONE THERE'S A ROTTEN EGG!

[Footsteps rustling, Audrey laughing]

Tommy says, HEY! YOU GOT A HEAD START! THAT'S CHEATING!

In the clinic, Hector says, YOU READY, PAT?

Pat says, YES!

[Clicking, sniffing, squeaking]

Pat opens the carrier, and a grey bilby looks out.

Pat says, AWWW.

[Door clicking]

Audrey says, HI, PAT! HI, DAD!

[Whooshing, squeaking]

Hector says, OH! WATCH OUT! AAH!

The bilby hops toward the door, and Audrey catches them.

Audrey says, HI TO YOU TOO!

[Sniffing, bright music plays]

Tommy says, WHOA! INCREDIBLE! THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN A BILBY WITH MY OWN EYES!

[Footsteps thumping]

Audrey says, YEAH, WELL THAT'S BECAUSE THEY LIVE IN THE AUSTRALIAN DESERT.

[Squeaking, thumping]

Pat closes the top of the carrier.

Pat says, THEY SLEEP UNDERGROUND DURING THE DAY TO PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM THE HEAT.

Audrey asks, WHAT'RE YOU DOING WITH THEM?

Hector says, I'M EXAMINING THEM TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE OKAY. THIS IS THE LAST ONE. RIGHT, PAT?

[Squeaking]

Pat says, NO, THERE'S STILL ONE GUY. OR SHOULD I SAY, GIRL LEFT. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO CATCH PIXIE YET. SHE'S THE MOM OF THE FAMILY.

Audrey and Tommy say, OH!

Pat says, SHE’S BEEN RUNNING FROM ME FOR DAYS! SHE'S REALLY SUSPICIOUS THIS TIME AROUND.

Audrey says, DON'T WORRY, I'LL GIVE YOU A HAND! ANIMALS LOVE ME, I'LL CATCH HER IN TWO SECONDS!

[Rustling, bilby squeaking]]

Hector says, OH! THANKS, HONEY. BUT PAT'S A PRO. BETTER LET HER HANDLE IT!

[Audrey gasping, grumbling]

Pat says, I AGREE. IT IS MY JOB AFTER ALL!

[Footsteps thumping, squeaking]

Audrey says, BUT I'M SURE I CAN CATCH HER. I'LL BET YOU ANYTHING ON IT! IF I LOSE, WE'LL CLEAN THE ENCLOSURES FOR YOU FOR THE WHOLE WEEK!

[Whooshing]

Audrey stands beside Tommy.

Tommy says, HUNH? WHAT? WHY'D YOU INCLUDE ME?

[Thumping]

Pat puts down the carrier.

Pat says, IF YOU REALLY WANT TO, THEN WHO AM I TO SAY NO! I ACCEPT YOUR CHALLENGE!

Audrey says, AWESOME!

[Footsteps thumping, hands slapping, Pat exclaiming]

Pat holds out her hand, and Audrey slaps it.

Pat says, OH!

Tommy asks, CAN I STAY AND HELP OUT TONIGHT?

[Bilby cawing]

Tommy says, I'D LOVE TO SEE THE BILBIES ON THEIR TERRAIN. AND I HATE THE THOUGHT OF CLEANING THE ENCLOSURES IF AUDREY LOSES.

Hector says, YOU'RE ALWAYS WELCOME. JUST AS LONG AS YOUR PARENTS SAY IT'S OK.

Tommy says, GREAT! I'LL GO ASK THEM!

[Whooshing]

Tommy runs to the door.

Tommy says, I’LL PICK UP ONE OR TWO THINGS WHILE I'M THERE.

[Animals calling]

In the greenhouse, the crescent moon glows through the windows. Tommy carries a large backpack and a bedroll. Audrey walks beside him.

Audrey says, UH, TOMMY. IS THAT WHAT YOU CALL ONE OR TWO THINGS? YOU'RE PLANNING ON GOING CAMPING OR WHAT? OR ARE YOU MOVING?

[Backpack clanking, croaking, birds calling, insects chirping]

Tommy says, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? I JUST BROUGHT THE BARE NECESSITIES! A SNACK, A COMIC BOOK, SOME SOCKS IN CASE MY FEET GET COLD, A PAIR OF GLOVES TO PROTECT MY FINGERS. MY TABLET AND FLASHLIGHTS! I'M LEARNING HOW TO SEND MESSAGES USING LIGHT SIGNALS. SEE THAT, IT'S COOL, UH?

[Clicking]

Tommy turns his flashlight on and off.

Audrey says, YEAH! BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO NEED ALL THAT EQUIPMENT. I'M GOING TO CATCH PIXIE AS QUICK AS THAT!

[Snapping]

Audrey snaps her fingers.

Tommy says, I SURE HOPE SO BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL LIKE CLEANING THE ENCLOSURES...

[Dramatic music plays, thumping]

Tommy falls.

Tommy says, OH!

[Tommy grunting, clattering]

Tommy lies on the ground, surrounded by holes.

Tommy says, HEY! LOOK AT THAT! ALL THESE HOLES IN THE GROUND!

Audrey says, THEY'RE THE TUNNELS DUG BY THE BILBIES!

Karl says, HEY, KIDS! OVER HERE!

Karl stands beside a wagon attached to a sports utility vehicle. Pat sits in the driver’s seat.

Audrey says, HI THERE, KARL! YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO COME! MY DAD DIDN'T TELL YOU? I'M GOING TO CATCH PIXIE ALL BY MYSELF!

Karl says, I WOULD'VE LIKED TO STAY IN BED, BUT PAT DIDN'T GIVE ME A CHOICE.

Pat says, HMM?

[Clattering]

Karl puts a trap on the ground.

Audrey asks, WHAT KIND OF BOX IS THAT?

Karl says, IT’S A BILBY TRAP!

[Upbeat music plays, insects chittering]

Pat says, FIRST, WE NEED TO PUT IT AT ONE OF THE EXITS TO THEIR BURROWS. NEXT, WE PUT SOME BAIT INSIDE THAT THE BILBY'S ABSOLUTELY LOVE. WHEN PIXIE COMES TO TAKE THE BAIT, BOOM! THE TRAP WILL CLOSE AND SHE'LL BE NICE AND WARM IN THE BOX. THE CLOSING OF THE DOOR TRIGGERS A SIGNAL AND THEN WE COME TO GET HER.

[Trap rattling]

Pat closes the trap door.

Audrey says, MM! TO BE HONEST, I DON'T THINK IT'LL WORK. PIXIE'S REALLY SMART. WHEN SHE SEES THE TRAP, SHE'LL COME OUT FROM ANOTHER TUNNEL. THEY'RE ALL CONNECTED.

Pat says, WELL, THAT'S HOW I TRAPPED ALL THE OTHER ONES.

[Squeaking]

Audrey says, SHHHH! LOOK, THERE SHE IS! LEAVE IT TO ME, I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT!

[Rustling, squeaking]

Audrey creeps closer to Pixie.

Audrey says, HELLO YOU! HOW ARE YOU? YOU REMEMBER ME, PIXIE? OH!

[Whooshing, sniffing, Pixie cooing]

Pixie drops back into the hole and reappears in a different one.

Audrey says, WHOA! SHE'S REALLY FAST! OKAY, PIXIE. YOU AND I ARE BUDDIES! I GOT YOU! OH NO, I DON'T.

[Upbeat music plays, whooshing]

Pixie pokes her head out of the holes. Each time Audrey reaches for her, Pixie disappears and looks out from a different hole.

Audrey says, OH! COME ON! ARGH! HA! GOTCHA!

Tommy says, HMM.

[Audrey panting, shouting, thumping, Audrey grumbling, insects chirping]

Audrey leaps at a hole, and Pixie drops down inside.

Karl says, AFTER THAT DISASTER, I BET SHE'LL THINK TWICE BEFORE DOING THAT AGAIN!

Pat says, OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK TO THE OFFICE AND WAIT FOR PIXIE TO SET OFF THE TRAP!

[Footsteps crunching, engine rumbling]

Tommy says, I'VE GOT A BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS. I THINK I'M GOING TO SPEND THE WEEK CLEANING OUT ENCLOSURES.

[Bright music notes play]

Audrey says, NO, YOU'RE NOT! I'M GOING TO CATCH HER! I JUST HAD AN IDEA THAT'LL WORK FOR SURE! COME ON, TOMMY, LET'S GO!

[Tommy yelping, owl hooting, leaves rustling, bright music plays]

Audrey grabs Tommy and pulls him forward. Tommy follows Audrey through the jungle.

Tommy says, AUDREY? WHERE ARE YOU TAKING US? WE SEEM TO BE GOING AWAY FROM THE BILBY'S BURROWS.

[Tommy panting]

Audrey says, I WON'T BE ABLE TO CATCH PIXIE IF SHE KEEPS HIDING AWAY IN HER TUNNELS.

[Leaves rustling, Tommy sighing]

Audrey says, BUT HERE IS A DIFFERENT STORY.

[Chiming, gentle music plays, insects chirping]

Audrey parts the leaves of a plant. The river sparkles in the moonlight.

Tommy says, WOW! IT'S BEAUTIFUL...

Audrey says, ALL THE ANIMALS COME HERE TO DRINK WATER. WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT HERE FOR PIXIE TO COME AND QUENCH HER THIRST, AND IT'LL BE OVER!

[Leaves rustling, footsteps thumping]

A large grey bear-like animal walks to the water.

Audrey says, FALSE ALARM.

[Water splashing, animals chirping, snorting, hooting]

Audrey and Tommy watch animals visit the water and drink.

Tommy says, BORING!

[Owl hooting, annoyed grunting, clicking]

Tommy lies on his back and plays with his flashlight.

Audrey says, TOMMY!

[Clicking]

Tommy asks, OH, WHAT? DID YOU SPOT PIXIE?

Audrey says, HOW CAN I? WITH YOUR FLASHLIGHT IN MY EYES, I CAN'T SEE A THING!

Tommy says, OOPS. SORRY, AUDREY. I WAS JUST PRACTICING THE LIGHT SIGNALS I LEARNED!

[Frog croaking, splashing]

Tommy says, AUDREY!

Audrey says, MMH?

Tommy says, MY ENCYCLOPEDIA SAYS THAT BILBIES DON'T NEED TO DRINK WATER! THEIR FOOD HAS ENOUGH WATER TO KEEP THEM HYDRATED.

[Whooshing, dramatic music plays]

Audrey says, OH NO! MAYBE, PAT AND KARL HAVE ALREADY TRAPPED HER WHILE WE'VE BEEN WASTING TIME HERE.

[Grunting, whooshing, clattering]

Audrey swings on vines. Tommy runs beneath her on the ground, dragging his backpack. Audrey sticks her head in the trap by the burrows and looks at the food.

Audrey says, IT'S OKAY, PAT HASN'T CAUGHT HER YET.

[Alarm ringing, clanking, screaming]

The door of the trap closes on Audrey’s neck.

Tommy says, NO! AUDREY! SHE GOT HER HEAD CUT OFF!

[Banging]

Audrey stands up with the trap on her head.

Audrey says, I'M OKAY!

[Tires screeching, beeping, grunting]

Pat and Karl arrive in the sports utility vehicle. They watch Tommy pull on the trap.

Tommy says, HEY, HI THERE PAT AND KARL! WHAT'RE YOU DOING HERE? WE WERE JUST CHECKING TO MAKE SURE YOUR TRAP WORKED. JUST IN CASE, YOU KNOW.

[Beeping, clanking, Tommy giggling]

Pat pushes a button on her device, and the door of the trap opens. Tommy pulls it off Audrey’s head.

Pat says, AUDREY! WHAT ARE YOU UP TO?

[Insects chirping]

Audrey says, I'M SORRY. BUT THIS IS ALL PART OF MY NEW SUREFIRE PLAN!

Pat says, AH, I SEE. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR NEW SUREFIRE PLAN, JUST DON'T TOUCH MY TRAP!

[Engine rumbling]

Pat and Karl drive away.

Tommy asks, DO YOU REALLY HAVE A SUREFIRE PLAN?

Audrey says, IT’S A LITTLE LIKE PAT'S METHOD. BUT, MMH. OUR WAY.

Tommy says, ACCORDING TO THE ENCYCLOPEDIA, BILBIES ONLY EAT THE THINGS THAT THEY DIG UP, LIKE ROOTS OR INSECTS. WAIT. HOW'RE WE GOING TO DO THAT?

[Dirt rustling, upbeat music plays]

Audrey digs a hole and throws the dirt beside Tommy.

Audrey says, WE’LL DIG A HOLE, OF COURSE!

[Boinging, giggling, Tommy exclaiming]

Audrey digs up a worm and dangles it in front of Tommy.

Audrey says, AW, TOMMY, DON'T MAKE A FACE LIKE THAT! IT'S JUST A LITTLE EARTHWORM, THAT'S ALL!

[Pixie sniffing, leaves rustling, gentle music plays]

The worm wiggles in a pile of roots and fruit. From behind a bush, Audrey and Tommy watch Pixie approach.

Audrey says, AWESOME! SHE WON'T GET AWAY THIS TIME!

[Rustling]

Audrey reaches for Pixie, and Pixie runs away.

Audrey says, QUICK, SHE'S GETTING AWAY!

[Panting, upbeat music plays. Pixie squeaking, Audrey shouting, thumping]

Tommy and Audrey chase Pixie. Audrey leaps at Pixie and misses her. Pixie runs past Tommy.

Tommy says, HEY, COME BACK!

[Upbeat music plays, creaking, thumping]

Tommy runs into a vine and falls.

Tommy says, OW!

[Thumping, grunting, whooshing]

Pixie runs to a hole and jumps in. Tommy and Audrey both dive towards her and bump their heads together.

Both say, OW!

Audrey says, I WAS THIS CLOSE TO GETTING HER. OH WELL. COME ON, TOMMY. LET'S GO BACK!

Tommy says, NO, WAIT. PIXIE IS A LOT SMARTER AND FASTER THAN US. WE NEED SOME HELP.

[Bright music plays]

Audrey says, NO WAY! I MADE A BET THAT I COULD CATCH HER BEFORE PAT, AND I'M GOING TO WIN.

Tommy says, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO WINS OR LOSES! THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO EXAMINE HER AND MAKE SURE SHE'S HEALTHY.

Audrey says, I KNOW THAT, BUT USUALLY, THE ANIMALS HERE ALL TRUST ME. I WANTED TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS ALL BY MYSELF.

[Sad music plays]

Tommy says, AUDREY, DON'T WORRY! IT'S NO BIG DEAL. WE ALL NEED HELP ONCE IN A WHILE. AND IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED, I'VE JUST SPENT HALF THE NIGHT HELPING YOU OUT.

[Audrey sighing, music stops]

Audrey says, YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT. THANKS, TOMMY.

[Snoring]

In their office, Pat and Karl sleep.

Audrey says, AHEM!

[Karl and Pat exclaiming, Audrey laughing awkwardly, owl hooting, insects chirping]

Audrey says, AS IT TURNS OUT, I DO NEED YOUR HELP.

Pat asks, WHAT’S GOING ON?

[Gentle music plays]

Audrey says, OH! YOU WERE RIGHT. PIXIE'S A LOT HARDER TO CATCH THAN I THOUGHT SHE'D BE. WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN FORCES?

[Footsteps pattering]

Pat walks out to the sports utility vehicle.

Pat says, WITH PLEASURE! ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS ASK. SO, WHAT'S THE PLAN?

[Audrey humming]

By the holes, Karl puts the trap back into the wagon.

[Thumping]

Karl asks, UH... ARE YOU SURE THIS IS A GOOD IDEA, PAT?

Pat says, HAVE A LITTLE FAITH IN HER. SHE'S PROBABLY RIGHT. THE TRAP MUST MAKE PIXIE MORE SUSPICIOUS.

[Thumping, rustling]

Pat gives Karl a flashlight. Audrey runs past, pushing a wheelbarrow full of fruit. Tommy runs beside her, carrying more fruit. Audrey puts a handful of fruit beside a hole.

Audrey asks, IS EVERYBODY READY? ALRIGHT, LET'S DO THIS! GO TO YOUR POSTS!

[Upbeat music plays, panting, rustling]

Tommy and Audrey hide behind rocks. Karl hides behind a tree. Each hole has piles of fruit beside it, attracting flies.

Audrey whispers, WHERE IS SHE? I ASKED PAT AND KARL TO BELIEVE IN ME, BUT NOW, I DON'T KNOW IF MY PLAN'S GOING TO WORK.

[Gentle music plays]

Tommy whispers, IT'S OKAY, WE'VE DOUBLED OUR CHANCES BECAUSE NOW THERE'S FOUR OF US!

[Rumbling, Audrey gasping]

Audrey puts her ear to the ground.

Audrey says, I THINK SHE'S DIGGING A NEW TUNNEL! GIVE THE SIGNAL!

[Clicking, Karl giggling]

Tommy flashes his flashlight. Karl and Pat flash their lights.

Audrey says, THAT'S WEIRD! IT'S LIKE SHE JUST STOPPED MOVING.

Tommy says, LOOK! AUDREY! THERE SHE IS!

[Pixie sniffing, rustling, squeaking, Audrey grunting, thumping, exciting music plays]

Pixie emerges from a new hole and looks at Tommy and Audrey. Audrey lunges towards the hole, and Pixie drops back down.

Audrey says, SHE'S HEADED TOWARDS PAT AND KARL! WARN THEM!

Tommy says, ALRIGHT! I'M ON IT!

[Flashlight clicking, Karl, muttering, squeaking, Karl shouting, thumping, clicking]

Pixie emerges from a hole near Karl. He lunges and misses her. He flashes his light.

[Rustling]

Pat looks down at a hole in front of her.

Audrey says, SHE'S OVER THERE! HURRY!

[Rustling, Pixie squeaking, thumping]

Pat picks up Pixie.

Pat says, AH! CAUGHT YOU!

[Cheering]

Audrey says, YEAH! WELL DONE, PAT! YOU DID IT!

Pat says, WE ALL DID IT TOGETHER! DO YOU WANT TO HOLD HER, AUDREY? I THINK SHE'LL FEEL MORE RELAXED WITH YOU!

[Rustling, sniffing, squeaking]

Pat passes Pixie to Audrey.

Audrey says, OH WOW, YOU'RE PRETTY HEAVY! LOOK! I THINK PIXIE HAS BABIES IN HER BELLY POUCH!

[Gentle music plays, Pixie squeaking]

Everyone says, AWW!

Pat says, SO THAT'S WHY SHE WAS ACTING THE WAY SHE WAS. SHE JUST WANTED TO PROTECT HER BABIES. OKAY, LET'S TAKE HER TO THE NURSERY TO MAKE SURE ALL HER LITTLE ONES ARE IN GOOD HEALTH.

Karl says, UH... SINCE WE WORKED TOGETHER TO CATCH HER, WHO'S GOING TO BE CLEANING THE ENCLOSURES? WILL AUDREY DO IT?

[Upbeat music plays, Pat grumbling, Audrey and Tommy exclaiming]

Pat says, OH NO! WE'RE ALL GOING TO DO IT TOGETHER!

[Everyone laughing]

[Upbeat music plays]
