[mysterious theme music plays]
[horse whinnying]
Say that again, Cassidy?
I know where Tornado is.
One more time?
I'll take you to her now.
Yes, please!
Slight problem.
My car has only room for three passengers.
Barbie, Barbie, and Cassidy,
you're with me.
Mother, what about the rest of us?
Come on, we'll take the bus.
A bus?
How thrilling!
Renee, can you get everyone
back to the manor,
and maybe see if there's
any word from Interpol
about Pepper or Giovanni?
Way ahead of you!
I'll drive!
I'm really getting the hang of it.
- No!
- No, no.
Does anyone else have their license?
Their British license?
Oh! I do.
[both] Oh, thank goodness!
Suit yourself, slowpokes.
[car lock chirps]
[keys jangling]
[whistling]
Come here, girl.
Oh, there you are.
Tornado!
Oh! She's here.
Hey, girl. We missed you.
[blowing]
Ah, there's my girl.
Aw
Huh, well,
she's gotten much friendlier
since we last saw her.
- Beautiful girl.
- Something still didn't track.
We'd followed Cassidy
to the train station,
and then immediately
onto the train to Venice.
[Brooklyn] There wasn't
enough time to drop her off
at Birdwhistle Farms.
Tornado never made it onto
the train in the first place.
After I lost you both
on the country roads
sorry about that again
I had just enough time
to get to the train station
before you arrived.
My father was waiting there.
I handed off the key,
and then I made my way to the station,
and when the coast was clear
[Lady Carson]Oh, no!
[Cassidy] then he drove
Tornado back to my farm.
[Lady Carson] Here we go!
[car crashing]
She's been here safe ever since.
When Pepper was stolen,
I worried Tornado would be next.
I didn't know whom I could trust,
and I thought I could protect her
better than anyone else.
I never meant to put you
and Morgan through all this.
I'm so sorry, Lady Carson.
Oh, I forgive you, Cassidy.
Aw
And you were correct.
You have kept her safe all this time.
- [Tornado nickering]
- [chuckling fondly] Oh
I love a happy ending.
We're not there yet.
We need to find Pepper
before Giovanni smuggles her
out of the country--
[Tornado whinnying]
Aw, she misses her BFF.
Sister.
- I beg your pardon?
- Say again?
Tornado and Pepper, they're sisters.
- [gasping]
- Oh, my
That is absolutely the last time
I ever take the bus,
and you may quote me on that.
I thought it was delightful.
Such enchanting stories from the driver.
- [Marcus yawning wearily]
- Chin up, everyone.
You all tried so valiantly,
and we should all be focusing
on the positive.
True, we did recover the Diamond Saddle.
No, dearie, not the saddle.
Although, come to think of it,
that was very helpful.
I meant that you all brought
Violet and myself together again.
Now, you all must be famished.
I'll go and see if Violet
has anything to eat
something other than those
dreadful mushroom caps.
I'm gonna check in at work
and see if there have been any
sightings of Giovanni or Pepper.
In the meantime,
I shall safely store the Diamond Saddle.
We should do something.
I am doing something.
I meant something useful.
I could give you a tour of the estate.
Marcus?
And search for clues?
Uh y-yes.
Let's go!
Now, what should we see first?
The stables, the moat, the hedge maze?
Did you say "hedge maze"?
- Mm-hmm.
- Yes!
What are we waiting for, Ken?
Let's go!
[Tornado whinnying]
Sisters?
Oh, why didn't I see it?
I mean, Pepper and Tornado
do look an awful lot alike,
but I assumed all horses did.
Oh, you don't know!
Ken and I found it
at the Royal Equine Society.
Pepper's lineage goes back
to Queen Elizabeth I.
If they're sisters,
that means Tornado is horse royalty too.
[neighing joyfully]
They're both priceless.
[giggling]
The Royal Friesians?
Why, that's patently absurd.
It's true.
My grandpapa used to
tell me bedtime stories
about their lineage,
and how far it went back.
I assumed they were fairy tales.
- Aw
- [giggling]
Cassidy, you are still processing this.
I am too,
but I have a really big favor
to ask of you.
Anything, Lady Carson.
Ah, ah, before you agree to anything,
you should hear it first.
The championships are two days away.
We are doing everything we can
to find Pepper,
and we will find her.
But we need to be prepared for anything.
You want to enter Tornado?
Tornado is your horse.
You own her fair and square.
She's not mine to lend.
We can discuss
all of that later, but for now,
we need to get her back to Carson Estate
and get her ready for the competition.
[blowing]
Now all you need to figure out
is who's going to ride her.
Oh, quite right.
[sighing deeply]
[roaring] Enough of this!
I want to go back home, to Venezia.
I know you do,
but right now,
there's too much heat on us.
It's not easy to sneak a horse
out of the country.
[groaning]
Then when?
I'm working on arrangements right now.
But I am so bored!
Why don't you take Pepper for a walk?
- [neighing]
- No! No.
Do you know what she does on her walks?
It's disgusting.
Here, play a game, read the news,
listen to a podcast.
A pod cast?
Hmm.
Oh!
Back where she belongs.
[sighing]
Doesn't quite feel the same
without Pepper, though,
but Barbie is right.
With Morgan not yet 100%,
who is going to ride her?
[gasping]
- Hmm.
- [clearing throat] I--
- Malibu can do it.
- What?
Well, who else is going to do it?
Barbie, you have jumping experience?
I mean, I won a few regional competitions
when I was younger.
Hmm, and a State Championship.
Weren't you nationally ranked?
[sighing sadly]
Only for a year. Two, tops.
Why did you not say so?
We need to put you on
the practice field right away.
Oh, there is so much to do.
We need to get prepping
the manor immediately.
Has anyone seen my nephew?
Ken? Ken!
[Ken] Marcus? Morgan?
- Marcus!
- Ken!
I appreciate your confidence,
you know I do,
but I haven't jumped in years.
[chuckling] Malibu,
you'll kill it, like you always do.
It'll all come back.
Like falling off a bike.
"Riding." It's "riding a bike."
Exactly.
Come on, Barbie, let's go!
Hmm.
[Tornado whinnying]
Whoa, girl.
Any word from Renee on Pepper?
Not yet!
[sighing] Can we focus
on the horse that we have?
[both] Morgan?!
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
So you know, you need
to hit all eight verticals
within the allotted time.
There are four singles and four doubles.
You need to hit them all
to get a winning score.
Do you understand?
I do.
You do too, right, Tornado?
[Tornado blowing]
You do. Ready, girl?
[Tornado nickering]
Ready?
Whoo! You got this, Barbie!
- Go.
- [beeping]
H'yah!
Hup!
Phew!
Hup!
All right!
[whinnying]
Whoo!
- [gasping]
- Uh-oh.
- Whoa!
- [whinnying]
- Malibu!
- Whoa, girl.
It's okay.
That's a deduction.
A 65 is not going to win the championship.
Yeah, thanks. Super helpful.
[Cassidy] Let's take a break.
We wouldn't have made it
out of the hedge maze alive
if it weren't for you, Aunt V.
Come, come, now.
You were in there less than 30 minutes.
Hmm? It felt longer.
Ken, Marcus, how are your
lifting and decorating arms?
- Always ready.
- Exhausted!
Come. We're going to put on
the greatest championship
the horse world has ever seen.
I just got word from Interpol.
They think they might know
where Pepper is.
Wonderful news, Renee.
You must go and tell
Barbie and Barbie at once.
Ken and Marcus, we've got some
world-class decorating to do.
Yay, that's exactly why
I flew all the way to Europe.
Decorating duty.
First up, we need to whip up some scones.
And I'm back!
Huh?
[growling and tapping]
Dietrich, get in here! Now!
What is it? Is something
wrong with Pepper?
No, she's her usual annoying self.
[kicking and whinnying]
You know what you did.
This podcast is like
a radio play, you know?
It's typically available as a series,
and new episodes drop, and I get so hap--
I know what a podcast is.
But this one is about me,
and just a little bit about Pepper.
- [Pepper whinnying]
- I said a little bit about you.
What are you talking about?
You know who's behind it?
Those insufferable Barbies!
We must stop them.
No. We must leave them alone.
Don't draw any unnecessary
attention to yourself.
Okay, okay.
[tapping keys and chortling]
You're leaving them
a bad review, aren't you?
I'm leaving them a bad review.
[chortling wickedly]
This will teach them
to mess with Giovanni Binat--
[Pepper whinnying]
No! You already went!
You can't have to go again!
All day with this one.
Have to take you to the doctor.
[groaning]
[sighing]
That one was pretty good.
Good's not going to cut it.
Mother's favorite expression.
I almost miss her constant disapproval.
Hey, you'll get there.
You're still getting to know one another.
I know. Tornado and I
are just not in sync yet.
[Renee] Barbie! Barbie!
[panting]
[gasping]
[grunting]
Huah!
[coughing]
She certainly knows
how to make an entrance.
She totally does.
I just heard from my bosses at Interpol
- [both] And?
- And their sources suggest
that Giovanni is somewhere in England,
likely at a high-end luxury hotel,
and Pepper is with him.
- What do we do?
- Hmm.
Well, we don't want to spook him
and send him back into hiding.
If only we could get him to come to us.
- Huh?
- [cell phone buzzing]
Malibu, people are actually
listening to our podcast.
Check out these reviews.
"So cool." "Great ep."
"I think they need
to check out Denholm."
[chuckling] Yeah, we really do.
"Spazzatura totale"?
What does that mean in English?
You don't want to know.
Brooklyn, how many reviews are in Italian?
Hmm, just the one,
and their screen name
is "G Binatchi, The Big Dog."
Giovanni is listening to our podcast!
Malibu, what if we can
lure Giovanni out of hiding
and save Pepper?
Break's over, slackers.
Back to one.
- Oh! There, girl.
- [Tornado nickering]
Hey, Cassidy, why don't you
take her for a turn?
I want to see what I'm doing
wrong from the ground.
Really? I mean,
if you think it'll help.
I have an idea.
What did you have in mind?
Ready for Operation Fake Podcast?
Ready.
Everything was going better than expected.
Tornado had been successfully recovered,
and was preparing
for the upcoming championships.
We'd never give up the search for Pepper,
but the startling discovery
that she and Tornado were sisters,
and that Tornado was also
one of the legendary Royal Friesians,
was a tremendous relief
to the Carson family.
The now priceless Tornado
had earned a day off
from practicing for the championships,
so we decided to take her on the road
and meet some of her fans.
Our first stop would be one of England's
most noteworthy attractions,
the mysterious and mystical Stonehenge.
We'll be there
Friday at 2:00 p.m.
That's Friday at 2:00 p.m.
And uploaded.
That was so cool.
You really think Giovanni
will try and take Tornado, too?
If he doesn't,
I don't know if we'll have
another chance to find Pepper.
She could be lost forever.
[sighing] It's risky,
but it could be our only option.
Giovanni's smart.
We need to convince him
that Tornado is actually there.
We can't bring Tornado.
It's too dangerous.
Of course not, but I wonder
if he'd be fooled by a decoy.
A decoy?
["Queen of the Night Aria"
from The Magic Flute playing]
Oh whoa lo, lo, la, la ♪
Waa, aah, aah, aah, ah ♪
Ahh, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah ♪
- Giovanni!
- [gasping]
Whoa! Mamma Mia!
Pepper has a sister!
Her name is Tornado.
Si! I already listened
to the new episode.
I moved on.
I'm now listening to a podcast on opera.
You don't want Tornado?
Eh, I already have
a rare, one-of-a-kind horse
that goes both number one and number two
all over my Louis XVth Savonnerie rug.
[Pepper whinnying]
You did too, and you know it, Pepper!
Why would I need another?
To ruin my Kirman Vase rug as well, huh?
Oh, well.
I guess you're not concerned
that your one-of-a-kind Royal Friesian
just became less special.
What do you mean, "less special"?
One more Royal Friesian out
there makes yours less special.
What is it that you always say to me?
"Something only truly has value--"
"When nobody else can have it."
Like the Mona Lisa,
or the Elephant Man's bones,
or the first-ever Soft Stuffie.
Yes, just like
the first-ever Soft Stuffies.
Si, si! These horses
are like living, breathing,
galloping, Soft Stuffies!
- Exactly.
- To Stonehenge!
We need to find that Soft Stuffie!
Horse.
Si, "horse." Certo.
Phew!
[camera snapping]
- [giggling]
- Have fun.
Thanks for listening!
[groaning wearily]
At least we unlocked
a major travel achievement?
Yeah, super breathtaking.
It's been three hours,
and all we've got to show
are sprained wrists
from signing so many autographs.
Team, any sign of Giovanni?
That's a negative, Barbie One.
- How's Flame doing?
- I still can't believe
that Lady Puddington let us borrow her.
Hopefully, it fools Giovanni.
[whinnying]
Sounds just like Tornado to me.
Hey, you ever wonder
how they got the slabs on top?
Legend has it
that it was built by the Druids.
- No way.
- They had robots back then?
Not droids. Druids.
Oh I get it.
[groaning]
I don't think Giovanni's gonna show.
Maybe we have Renee do another
circuit of reconnaissance?
Did you get that, Renee? Renee!
- Why are you yelling?
- [startled yelping]
Do you think I've got time
to visit the, um gift shop?
I gotta go too
to the gift shop.
Those two, am I right?
Uh, listen, if we're done here,
do you think they'd let me do
a 720 off those wicked slabs?
Absolutely not.
Uh, it's one of the Seven Wonders
of the Medieval world.
Cool! Cool, cool, cool.
[chuckling awkwardly]
I'm gonna go ask
that stoic-looking tour guide.
Now what?
No harm in getting a couple
selfies before we head back.
[upbeat music playing]
We should probably
let Flame out for a quick walk
- before heading back.
- [truck engine starting]
What the--?
Renee, are you in the van?
No, look!
[Renee] Whoo-hoo!
Flame?
Not legally allowed to drive yet.
[tires screeching]
Ciao, Barbies!
Thank you for delivering Tornado to me.
Now I have a matching set.
- [laughing wickedly]
- [both] No!
[tires screeching]
[Giovanni] G Binatchi,
The Big Dog! Woof, woof!
We can still catch them.
[tires screeching]
[gasping] Malibu!
[horn blaring]
Remember, in England, you drive--
I remember, I remember.
There he is.
Hmm?
[evil cackling]
He's getting away!
Oh, no, he's not.
[chase music plays]
Pull over, Giovanni!
I said, pull over!
Did he just say "sorry"?
[mouthing silently]
Nope! He just said, "not sorry."
Not sorry for what?
[crashing]
He's trying to run us off the road.
I I can't move.
Malibu!
Ah! What the--?
Malibu, now!
[tires screeching, horn blaring]
Whoa!
- Brooklyn, are you all right?
- Yeah, I think so.
Is this guy out of his mind?
[evil cackling]
[startling]
- [thumping]
- [groaning nervously]
Malibu! Sharp left turn ahead!
Uh behind.
Whoa! Aah!
Whoa-oh-oh!
[brakes screeching]
[Giovanni] Not sorry!
[cackling wickedly]
Bye-bye, Barbies!
[engine spluttering]
[gasping]
[exhaling in defeat]
[engine spluttering]
I can't believe we lost another horse.
What are we gonna tell Lady Puddington?
- Hey, Barbie!
- [yelping]
[neighing]
[both] Flame?
You're okay!
How do you have Flame?
We let her out.
We thought she might need
to go to the "gift shop" too.
- [sighing in relief]
- Well, we didn't find Pepper,
but at least we didn't lose Flame.
[Flame nickering]
Uh
what happened to the horse van?
- Um
- Oh
[chuckling awkwardly]
[Tornado whinnying]
Check it out.
Whoa!
Hup!
Hup!
[grunting]
[Lady Carson applauding]
That's good for today, girl.
[Tornado whinnying]
Whoa!
She's been doing that since you left.
She's a natural.
Malibu, don't take this
the wrong way, but
I think we have our rider.
[giggling fondly]
But do we dare risk entering Tornado?
Giovanni already has Pepper.
What's to stop him from taking Tornado?
With all the press and fans tomorrow,
he'd be, as the British say,
bonkers to try anything,
and if he does, we'll be ready for him.
[cell phone chiming]
Oh, that's the police.
I'll go fetch the Diamond Saddle.
All right, then, back to practice.
[cell phone chiming]
[gasping]
What is it?
Come on.
Lady Carson
- Oh!
- Don't do it.
Oh, I just was going
to touch it, I promise.
Oh, no, I mean,
don't hand it over just yet.
Darling, we have to.
The authorities will be here any moment.
I have an idea. If it works,
we'll get Pepper back
and the Diamond Saddle,
and you'll be seen as a hero
to everyone in the horse-owning community.
- Ah, you're here.
- Yes, ma'am.
We're here to pick up the Diamond Saddle.
I'm dreadfully sorry,
but, well,
I seem to have made a mistake.
[chuckling]
- Uh ma'am?
- Yes.
You-you see, I don't have
the Diamond Saddle after all.
I goofed.
"Goofed," ma'am?
Yes, indeed. That's it, goofed.
Ever so sorry. Good day!
We've got news.
Giovanni's ready to make a deal.
- Huh?
- [everyone] What?
He reached out to us
in the comments section of our podcast.
Giovanni's come to the realization
that owning a horse is no longer
in his best interest.
So, he's willing to trade the horses
for the Diamond Saddle straight up.
We will have Pepper back!
Oh, Barbies, how can I thank you?
But the Diamond Saddle
does not belong to us.
I know.
- Go on!
- Say something!
- What aren't you telling us?
- Spill it!
We're going to get Pepper,
Tornado, the Diamond Saddle,
all of it.
And win the championship?
- We're gonna do it all.
- You in?
- Yes!
- Oh, goody.
- Yes!
- Awesome!
I love a good heist.
So, what's the plan?
It should go something like this.
[phone vibrating]
[voice murmuring]
Well, what did they say?
[beeping call off]
[clearing throat]
They bought it.
[mysterious theme music plays]
