0:00

okay

0:01

this is the backstory of rebecca uh

0:04

rudbeckia do you want to uh give us

0:05

maybe a brief description of you and

0:07

maybe what you're up to

0:10

rebecca is a brown rabbit

0:13

she's

0:14

very optimistic

0:17

a little bit easy to

0:19

side track with shiny objects or side

0:22

quests

0:24

she's a lovely personality she's a

0:25

harrier

0:27

she's

0:29

most often found smuggling things

0:31

letters information

0:33

contraband or spying on people and right

0:36

now though we meet her before all of

0:39

that happened when she was just happy to

0:42

be useful as a labourer

0:45

she's

0:46

quite handy with a couple of tools

0:48

awesome so we pan over the very small

0:52

town of flacco

0:54

lots of green fields large pastures

0:57

rolling skies

0:59

there don't appear to be really any type

1:02

of military units here saved for a

1:04

handful of irish soldiers that kind of

1:07

dot the outskirts of this

1:09

particular particular clearing

1:13

we then follow into one of the many

1:16

boroughs that is in the town of flat

1:19

home

1:20

coming up on seven little rabbits who

1:23

are

1:24

all doing various tasks within their

1:26

warren um and we see rudbeckia

1:29

who is uh maybe digging sort of uh an

1:32

extra extra little tunnel to add an

1:35

addition to her sleeping space um and we

1:37

see sorel am i saying that right sorrow

1:40

is that right sorrow sorrow we see

1:43

sorrow uh walk in uh as rebecca is doing

1:46

this

1:47

hey rod how are we doing

1:50

yeah just just just an expansion you

1:52

know got a little bit of uh

1:55

extra space now which will be quite nice

1:58

oh yeah always expanding that's uh

2:00

something i appreciate yeah about tubex

2:03

well uh listen um we've got a couple

2:05

things that we gotta get from town we

2:06

was hoping that um the most energetic of

2:08

the bunch would do it and um we all

2:10

voted that's you

2:13

yeah yeah sure what you need

2:15

uh just a couple things uh mom and dad

2:17

need a few things from the construction

2:18

supply

2:20

yeah no problem no problem he hands you

2:23

a list of various construction equipment

2:25

to go pick up

2:28

yeah uh rebecca is gonna sort of stretch

2:31

up on her tippy toes give him a kiss on

2:33

the cheek

2:34

and uh you just see her little fluffy

2:37

tail

2:38

disappear into the tunnel

2:40

um you crawl through the the tunnel

2:42

spaces of your warren uh eventually

2:45

coming out on the other side into the

2:47

fresh air um it is a warm sunny day

2:51

there are a few clouds in the sky and

2:52

the ones that are there are nice and big

2:54

and fluffy

2:56

you see the construction supply store

2:57

not far from you

2:59

and as you go to reach the construction

3:02

supply store

3:03

you notice there's a figure in the town

3:05

again this is a very small town that you

3:07

have not noticed before

3:10

it's a gentleman who is very very small

3:12

he's a tiny little mouse

3:14

and he appears to be

3:16

walking back from the construction store

3:18

and towards your direction

3:20

um he stops as you pass him

3:23

hello there

3:26

um

3:27

my name's elma and i'm new here how's uh

3:31

3:52

was

3:53

hoping you could

3:55

help me

3:56

[Music]

3:58

4:00

new in town and everyone needs to get

4:09

what's your name

4:11

it's a pleasure

4:15

um and you see um he walks back to the

4:18

construction store to it stops right

4:20

before the door

4:22

if you just distract them for for for

4:26

long enough then

4:28

i can probably lift whatever i need to

4:32

4:34

lift up

4:36

how heavy is it

4:38

here he laughs

4:39

5:13

cunning here

seven is still decent um this guy is not

5:23

on the level he is never gonna pay your

8:47

8:51

but

8:52

8:53

if you change your mind

8:57

you can find me

8:59

just

9:00

south

9:02

follow the

9:03

path and go left

9:07

right where

9:08

the two big willow trees are

9:12

just knock

9:15

and he goes and like sort of stands like

9:18

next to the the construction supply

9:21

building uh but with like his back to it

9:23

waiting for you to to enter through the

9:25

door

9:26

yeah rebecca um she gets she gets the

9:29

list out of the

9:30

pocket it's relatively

9:33

familiar stuff

9:35

and just staring at it

9:37

as if she's trying to

9:39

burn a hole in it with her eyes

9:42

like not looking at anything else

9:44

um are you going to enter the the

9:46

construction supply building yeah i'll

9:50

uh i'll enter i'm not gonna knock or

9:53

anything they're probably very familiar

9:55

with me um

9:56

as you open the door to enter into the

9:59

building

10:00

like you barely see it as this mouse

10:03

goes from this position to like on the

10:06

other side of the building in like

10:08

lickety-split one instant he's in the

10:10

building running through like the aisles

10:13

and you know he's there uh because you

10:16

walked in with him um but the owner

10:19

looks up

10:20

oh [ __ ] it's so good to see you

10:24

hi

10:25

i've just come with this list

10:27

i'm sure it won't take you very long at

10:29

all

10:31

yeah just my parents need some stuff and

10:34

i got the short straw

10:36

oh alright well it's always a pleasure

10:39

to see you a friendly face and he uh

10:42

takes the list and starts uh pulling a

10:44

few different things from the shelves um

10:47

you see as he's like has his back turned

10:49

pulling a few things the mouse jumps up

10:51

to the top of one of the shelves takes

10:54

everything from that shelf and shoves it

10:56

in the sack

10:57

ties the sack up jumps back down and as

11:00

he's leaving um he kind of looks up at

11:02

you while the guy is still distracted

11:04

alpha still

11:07

stands

11:08

and then sprints out um and the

11:11

door opens and closes again um and the

11:14

gentleman working the counter turns

11:15

around hello

11:19

um

11:20

no they just i think the wind blew the

11:22

door open or possibly someone popped the

11:25

head in and realized it wasn't what they

11:26

were looking for oh that's bad if we're

11:29

a construction supply company probably

11:30

should have our door fixed don't you

11:32

think

11:33

well you know if you ever need a hand

11:35

with that call me or any of my brothers

11:37

11:39

11:53

couple of weeks sounds good um as you

11:56

are leaving um your the door is about to

11:58

close and you hear him go what the [ __ ]

12:04

still marveling at this mouse's

12:07

seemingly incredible strengths head down

12:11

items on her back

12:13

just

12:15

as quick as she can hopping back to the

12:17

warren

12:18

uh before you even get back to the

12:20

warren um you noticed that a few of your

12:23

sisters are outside of the warren

12:25

waiting hollyhock and buckwheat are

12:28

outside of the warren entrance

12:31

and as you were coming back they sprint

12:37

yeah yeah yeah what's going on what's

12:38

12:42

problem

12:43

uh uh okay yeah why

12:46

uh

12:47

apparently a construction job went wrong

12:49

and uh it affected the irie

12:53

one of their roosts is collapsing and

12:56

they think it's our fault so

12:58

soldiers came by and

13:02

sold okay

13:08

[Music]

13:10

no no

13:11

13:12

13:18

falling to the ground yeah yeah no this

13:21

uh you enter um and see all of your

13:37

brothers and sisters with the exception

13:39

of sarel um

13:41

and everyone is

13:43

seemingly in a bad mood um your

13:47

one of your brothers astor comes up to

13:48

13:52

hey bex

13:54

14:04

of these birds and um

14:07

14:16

okay but it was it was guards that took

14:19

him yeah like

14:21

you're gonna be in charge of uh

14:34

day-to-day schedule

14:36

we're gonna keep on running jasper knows

14:38

14:42

him what sorrel normally does and

14:45

no one will be any the wiser

14:47

um okay annis hollyhock

14:52

hold down the fall

14:54

you're gonna be fine

14:55

stop sniffling

14:59

you know um it's it's just it's just a

15:02

misunderstanding it's not a big thing to

15:05

and you you start to see like tears

15:08

coming up in her eyes

15:10

and this is this is gone from

15:12

brother got

15:14

arrested for no reason to

15:17

brother is missing and may not come back

15:19

in her head

um

15:22

yeah um okay

15:24

15:34

[Music]

15:37

[ __ ]

15:39

i have to go

15:42

i

15:43

i i think i have an idea

15:46

they they all are are wiping their tears

15:48

um if in trails behind you um and you

15:52

know as seemingly looks to to go find

15:54

your parents um and you are able to to

15:57

exit the warren um leaving behind a

16:00

downtrodden and sad um family um where

16:04

is rebecca going

16:05

uh she's going to find jasper

16:10

to bring him along

16:12

who has taught rebecca most of what she

16:14

knows about um

16:16

being quite agile and sneaky because

16:19

it's quite handy to dodge falling debris

16:22

on a construction site so she's she she

16:24

wants to bring him along

16:26

um you enter into you eventually find

16:29

jasper's home

16:31

jasper lives in one of the smaller

16:34

residential buildings unlike most

16:36

squirrels who

16:37

tried to make their houses out of trees

16:39

and jasper has fully taken on the um

16:43

nope i'm just going to live in a

16:44

residential home

16:45

i am a normal citizen not not just a

16:48

squirrel um and do you knock or do you

16:51

just enter

16:52

i just enter

16:54

you enter uh and jasper is sitting there

16:56

uh smoking a pipe um he is a little bit

17:00

raggedy uh he is

17:02

for the most part an agile individual

17:04

but he is a little bit older um and he

17:07

turns to you hey bex well what's going

17:10

on it's been a while

17:12

yeah i mean they got um

17:16

the erie got like mad and they took

17:18

sorrel and i don't know why it's

17:21

something about a construction going bad

17:24

and blaming him and everyone's asking me

17:27

what to do and they're all older than me

17:29

they should know and i'm not really i

17:32

think i helped a mouse

17:34

steal something earlier and not it's

17:38

kind of a whole mess and i'm i died

17:45

hey hey and he uh he gets up out of his

17:48

chair and puts his pipe down and gives

17:49

you a big hug it's going to be all right

17:51

kid

17:53

listen uh what happened what happened

17:55

walk me through it again okay there was

17:56

something about a mouse there was

17:58

something about the irie your brother

18:01

take a few moments calm down and then

18:03

give me the story all right

18:05

i was

18:06

sorrel asked me to go pick up some

18:09

supplies

18:10

and

18:12

there's this new guy in town

18:15

i just you know

18:17

he looked a bit lost i asked if he was

18:19

okay

18:21

he asked me if i can distract

18:24

the

18:26

all the guys at the depot just so he

18:28

could steal some stuff

18:31

i said no

18:32

um

18:34

but

18:34

he started pestering and saying

18:37

something about dandelion leaves and

18:42

people who work for him

18:45

and i just you know

18:47

i walked in and he walked in behind me

18:51

and

18:52

took a bunch of stuff

18:54

and then i get home

18:56

and sorrel's been arrested

19:00

for um

19:03

i don't know i guess they're blaming him

19:06

for shoddy workmanship i mean he's only

19:09

been in charge for like three months

19:13

but

19:14

i guess

19:15

someone

19:16

thought that

19:19

he was to blame

19:22

everyone's in tatters at home

19:26

and i'm

19:28

supposed to do something because

19:31

what i'm

19:34

optimistic

19:37

uh you see that jasper um goes to one of

19:39

his cabinets and opens it up and pulls

19:41

down a jar um and on the jar it's

19:44

labeled beck's and it's like a

19:45

three-quarters empty jar with a handful

19:48

of dandelion leaves at the bottom he

19:50

reaches in and pulls one out um and

19:52

hands it to you hey

19:54

listen you want this okay

19:57

get your bearings back

19:59

now

20:00

are the mouse

20:01

and the ivory related

20:05

i don't think so

20:08

okay

20:09

did anybody see you

20:11

not helping this mouse

20:16

no

20:17

okay

20:18

problem one solved

20:22

i think he might be the solution to

20:25

problem two

20:28

he said if i ever needed him to get out

20:30

of a jam

20:32

that i could knock on his

20:35

door or knock in a

20:37

you know you know the two willows on the

20:39

south side of the town

20:41

yeah everybody knows

20:43

yeah he lives there

20:45

and he said that

20:49

he

20:51

would offer

20:52

the on the forest floor where there's

23:11

like all this grass um

23:14

one of the flowers that is there

earth

23:19

23:21

can see has some kind of like side

23:23

mirror on it um

23:25

and uh then it

23:27

pokes back down

23:29

the dandelion pops back up

23:32

and you watch as

23:34

the willow that you knocked on all of

23:36

the

23:37

bark from where you knocked um like

23:40

there's like a huge huge noise like

23:45

and it collapses and falls back

23:51

staircase that leads below the earth

24:14

down these steps uh you walk down the

24:16

steps um and you don't see any people

24:18

it's very dimly lit

24:20

24:22

sort of a larger more circular room with

24:25

a number of different tables

29:51

okay yeah uh let's do this yeah um so

29:55

elmer uh delivers this impassioned

29:57

speech although stuttering uh about how

30:00

much he loves smuggling goods about the

30:02

excitement and really the money is is

30:05

his main focus

30:07

and once he is finished he hands you a

30:10

couple of different envelopes the

30:12

envelopes all have names of

30:15

denizens that you know but you didn't

30:18

know were

30:20

involved in whatever kind of business

30:23

this is um

30:25

and he says

30:27

30:28

30:30

you can have

30:32

all the information about the

30:35

re that

30:39

easy enough

30:42

sure

30:44

um

30:46

i'll come back

30:48

when i'm finished and she like walks

30:52

backwards trying to look at all of the

30:55

hooded figures

30:56

at once she's still not entirely sure

30:59

someone isn't gonna stab her

31:01

um you see jasper does the same thing

31:05

okay um

31:07

jasper

31:08

can you check on

31:11

everyone at the warren

31:13

uh we've been gone a while

31:15

and i'm worried they think

31:18

we're not

31:19

getting anywhere

31:21

yeah i'll go back but rebecca

31:25

stay safe whatever these people are

31:26

doing just be careful okay i know you

31:29

can take care of yourself i know i know

31:31

but just be careful okay from me

31:33

yeah yeah just just tell them that i am

31:38

chasing some paperwork i don't know

31:43

yeah tell tell them i'm working on it

31:45

tell them i'm working on it and she

31:47

darts off with these letters

31:50

trying to do it as quickly as possible

31:52

she is like hopping on roofs she's

31:55

shoving these letters through people's

31:57

windows

31:59

is just like no one can see me

32:00

delivering these

32:02

and she's like popping out of bushes

32:04

into clued areas being like

32:06

hi letter bye and leaving these people

32:10

so confused

32:12

just like obviously they're clearly

32:13

about some sort of information she's not

32:15

being subtle at all

32:17

so um do you return then after you have

32:20

completed your your duties

32:22

yeah yeah i'm uh cloaked up like the

32:26

others with my regular cloak like super

32:29

secrets my time

32:31

um and she's got to remind herself that

32:34

this shouldn't be fun her brother is

32:35

somewhere

32:37

locked up and she's doing this

32:39

for her family

32:41

she shouldn't have enjoyed it as much as

32:43

she did

32:44

so she's just like you know

32:47

um that same knock the the

32:50

flower pops down a little pipe pops up

32:53

pops back down and then the

32:55

same noise as the door opens and you see

32:57

that familiar staircase

32:59

yeah uh

33:00

right back down

33:02

um

33:03

did

33:04

you do it up ready

33:08

yeah yeah uh everyone's got the letters

33:12

no one saw anything and i definitely did

33:15

not read them

33:17

because i'm pretty sure that you'd kill

33:20

me

33:22

that's a good idea

33:26

we would not

33:27

kill you

33:28

but but

33:30

there are

33:31

employers who would

33:35

and

33:36

now for your

33:39

reward

33:41

you want to know about the uh iri

33:46

yeah um i i need i i need to know what

33:49

why they took my brother and i need to

33:52

know where he is so i can i can get him

33:54

out

33:56

i i

33:57

think they took him because the

34:00

irie roost fell and

34:04

your family was the

34:08

ones who built it

34:11

yeah well they were the ones who

34:13

insisted on building it on a marsh so i

34:15

don't know what to tell you

34:19

i

34:21

don't

34:22

know why they're interested in your

34:26

family

34:27

but

34:28

i saw ire

34:30

guards taking a

34:33

rabbit across the

34:36

large lake

34:39

towards

34:40

fire sky

34:43

fire sky

34:46

yes

34:47

it it

34:48

can be reached

34:50

only by

34:51

boat or air there are

34:54

no land passages

34:59

i don't even know how to swim i've never

35:02

been outside the cliff clearing i

35:05

don't know any birds

35:09

i i don't know much more than that but

35:14

i have contacts who might

35:18

yeah

35:19

however it

35:21

might cost more jobs

35:25

jobs um

35:28

deliveries

35:29

do you know

35:31

anyone who could get me there

35:34

i i

35:36

have many people that could get you

35:39

there

35:40

yeah i'll do some more jobs

35:44

good

35:45

i

35:46

think you may have

35:48

been the fastest to ever

35:50

deliver messages here

35:52

in

35:55

flat

35:56

home i grew up here fans you know

36:02

i know every shortcut and

36:05

and everyone says that

36:08

i've always got more energy than i need

36:11

it's kind of easy running around

36:13

unnoticed

36:16

i think this could

36:19

be the start of something

36:22

beautiful

36:23

and he puts a hand out to shake yours

36:26

uh she shakes it back um

36:29

and then she sort of

36:31

nervously rings a pause and it's like

36:35

you know you

36:37

deliver information

36:41

do you also

36:42

find out information

36:46

you may not be

36:48

privy to reading the notes but

36:52

i am privy

36:55

whatever information we deliver

36:58

i know of

37:02

but how do you know do you

37:04

hire people to find it for you i have

37:08

six older siblings i am really good at

37:11

eavesdropping

37:13

we

37:14

operate in a

37:16

number of different ways but yes

37:20

we have ears in

37:22

different places

37:24

similar to this

37:27

and he gestures to the the willow trees

37:30

or to the the entrance to the willow

37:32

trees

37:33

yeah right i gathered i'm

37:37

how many of there are you

37:41

there are

37:42

many

37:44

at least somebody in

37:46

every part of the woodland

37:52

the whole woodland

37:53

you mean

37:54

that

37:56

there could be jobs

37:58

in all the clearings

38:01

have

38:02

you never

38:03

been

38:05

no

38:07

well then i

38:08

think

38:09

the first mission should be

38:12

far enough away to give you an

38:15

inkling of what life is like

38:18

outside this place

38:21

i could

38:22

go anywhere

38:24

i could go

38:27

everywhere

38:30

how does

38:33

wind gap refuge sound as a

38:36

start

38:39

it sounds great

38:41

um he he pulls out of his jacket um a

38:44

little envelope and hands it to you um

38:46

and you can see that it says address to

38:48

bam bam

38:50

um

38:52

bam bam

38:53

they sound fun

38:55

i think i'm gonna be great friends with

38:56

them

38:57

and she took the letter in her waistcoat

39:01

and says

39:02

plus i hear wind gap has some great

39:06

construction supplies

39:09

i have

39:11

heard

39:12

39:16

i'll

39:18

see you when i get back

39:20

i

39:21

can't wait

39:23

and he gets like this super slow smile

39:27

on his face

39:28

as you as you exit back up into the

39:30

willows

39:32

yeah

39:33

becky is

39:34

um

39:36

worried about her brother but this

39:37

overwhelming feeling of

39:40

this is new this is not

39:44

the same day

39:46

the same people

39:48

the same arguments with her family

39:51

this is not

39:54

it doesn't feel wrong to her

39:57

it just feels fresh

40:00

and there's this little

40:02

itch she's got in the back of her mind

40:06

that never really got scratched

40:09

and now it's quiet

40:12

but she can feel it coming back up again

40:16

she's gotta keep scratching that itch
