'''Found... And Lost''' is the fourth episode of [[Redwall - Season 2|Season 2]] and the seventeenth episode overall of the Nelvana [[Redwall TV Series]].

===Summary===
[[Slagar's Gang]] and their captives rest near a river, where [[Fleaback]] loses his dagger. [[Tess Churchmouse]] decides to go after it.

At the residence of [[Jabez Stump|Jabez]] and [[Rosyqueen Stump]], [[Matthias]], [[Orlando the Axe]], [[Basil Stag Hare]], [[Cheek Stag Otter]], and [[Jess Squirrel]] enjoy a meal together.

At the [[Redwall Abbey]] walltops, [[Cornflower Fieldmouse]] and [[Rollo]] attempt to solve [[Martin the Warrior]]'s riddle. Cornflower sends Rollo down to [[Ambrose Spike]]'s [[The Cellar|Cellars]] for refreshment. [[Constance]], [[Foremole (Redwall)|Foremole]], and [[Winifred]] also make efforts to determine what Martin intended to communicate.

While Ambrose naps, Rollo drinks strawberry cordial straight from the barrel. He notices ants in a puddle, has a realization, and rushes to tell the others.

Tess successfully secures the dagger and [[Mattimeo]], [[Auma]], [[Sam Squirrel]], [[Cynthia Bankvole]], [[Jubilation Stump|Jube]], and the other captives use it to pick the locks on their chains.

Matthias, Orlando, Basil, Cheek, Jabez, and Jess find [[Scurl Droptail]] spying on them from some bushes and detain him for questioning when they notice he's wearing the belongings of their missing offspring. Scurl reveals Slagar's gang is headed south and returns the stolen items.

Mattimeo, Auma, Sam, Cynthia, Jube, Tess, and [[Tim Churchmouse]] slide into the river to escape as their guards sleep nearby. A yelp from Cynthia awakens them, and [[Vitch]] and [[Threeclaws]] are ordered to pursue the young ones. They hide underwater to avoid detection.

Rollo shows the Redwallers the ants in the Cellar, and they follow them to a sealed wall.

As Vitch walks by the underwater escapees, Mattimeo stabs his footpaw with the dagger, sending him running out of the river.

Matthias, Orlando, Basil, Cheek, Jabez, and Jess continue onward, and [[Slagar the Cruel]] notices them in a canyon below. He commands [[Bageye]] to pile up rocks and orders [[Scringe]] to alert Threeclaws that the captives should be hidden from view in cave.

Foremole and his mole crew pry stones out of the sealed wall, and Constance, Cornflower, Rollo, Winifred enter a darkened chamber to find the [[Abbess Germaine's Tomb|tomb]] of [[Abbess Germaine]]. Rollo climbs onto a statue of Germaine and loosens a series of stone tablets with [[Loamscript]] writing.

Fleaback, Vitch, and Threeclaws usher their captives into a cave.

Above the canyon, Slagar and Bageye prepare to hurl rocks onto Matthias and his cohorts below.

Fleaback marches everyone out of the cave, walking backwards.

Matthias, Orlando, Basil, Cheek, Jabez, and Jess observe the pawprints leading into the cave. They run inside, bellowing [[Battlecries]]. The escaped children, waiting in the river, hear them yelling. As the adults realize the cave is empty, Slagar orders his soldiers to heave the rocks from above, blocking the cave entrance and trapping them.

===Official Synopsis===
Mattimeo and the slaves make their first attempt to escape, valiantly led by Tess Churchmouse, and Mattimeo takes another short step towards his birthright of leadership. Matthias is now chasing them in the right general direction and with the badger and hedgehog reinforcements discovers Scurl and exchange his life for accurate directions toward Slagar and the slaves.

At Redwall Abbey, Baby Rollo unravels the dream clue and the Redwall company follow the little folk-- the ants-- and so begin their own strange journey of pursuit which leads them to more cryptic clues which they struggle to solve. Something in the riddle will help them to help Matthias in pursuit of their young ones. The Past and the Present move towards a combined destiny-- but what?

As Mattimeo and company hide from Slagar, Matthias and his companions approach the very gorge where Slagar secretly awaits them. As they enter a cave carefully baited with slave tracks, Slagar triumphantly causes a landslide which buries them-- along with all hopes of rescue.

===Differences from ''[[Mattimeo (book)|Mattimeo]]''===
*In ''Mattimeo'', Vitch and [[Browntooth]] go into the water to search for the escaped Redwallers, but in the TV series, it is Threeclaws who accompanies him into the water.
*In the TV series, Tess requires help from Mattimeo retrieving Fleaback's dagger from the stream. In ''Mattimeo'', she picks it up with none of the other slaves noticing.
*In ''Mattimeo'', only Cornflower Fieldmouse, Winifred, Rollo, and some moles went into Abbess Germaine's tomb as Constance was too large to fit inside. In the episode, Constance went inside too.
*In ''Mattimeo'', the slavers cover up the tracks leading out of the cave. But in the TV series, they instead march them again, but backwards.
*In ''Mattimeo'', it is [[Wedgeback]] that drops his dagger, not Fleaback.

*Brian Jacques [[candied chestnuts]] transcript:

:''"I can remember when I was a kid, and me and my cousin one evening, at the back of a cupboard, we found a tin of candied chestnuts. And we didn't know what they were! And this tin had a key on the side that you would push through and open. And we opened it, and there were these little brown lots, and they'd been packed in heavy cinnamon sugar and sealed and left there until it went right into the nut. And this was my first taste of candied chestnuts. What a wonderful taste!"''
