01x04 - Escape to Peet’s Castle

[bunniefuu]

[♪ musical swirl ♪]

[door opens]

Sink me!

Janner!

Leeli!

-Tink!
-[dishes rattle]

Boys!

Leeli!

-[opens the back door]
-LEELI! TINK! JANNER!

[muffled barking from closet]

Oh, Nugget--

Fangs did this.

Fangs?

Where are the children?!

Let's not jump
ter the worst of it.

Maybe they slipped out.

An' I wager
they'd head to Oskar's,

fast as a buttered thwap,
like we told 'em.

To Oskar's then.

[Nugget barks insistently]

Hmmm.

The pup is locked on somethin'
out back.

You take the wagon
to town.

Find Oskar.
Check the jail.

I'll see what Nugget's nose
has to say.

[Nugget whimpers]

Nia.
We'll find 'em.

We'll find them.

[vicious howls]

[violent thumps]

[Tink groans]

-[violent thumps]
-[vicious howls]

Can the horned hounds get in?

We're stuck till they leave,
but for now we're safe.

Safe?

About to be trapped in the dark
with Brimney Stupe's ghost

when our candles fizzle?

[bone-chilling groan]

[wind whirls]

-[ghostly wail]
-[scuffling]

[yips and yelps]

What's happening?

[Tink strikes match]

[banging on door]

[Janner gasps]
The ghost!

[banging on door]

[Peet] Wigiby's!

Undolt the boar!

Bun-dolt the oar!

Peet..?

[Peet]
Unbolt the door!

[door clanking]

Leave!
Now!

Should we bring these?

[gibbering]

[thump]

How did--
Protect him Artham!--

Such darkness!!!

They've caken the ting!

CAKEN THE TING!

Beave me lee, fiel founds!

Mister Peet.

Please, don't be scared.

We need your help.

[nearby baying and barking
of a horned hound]

Keep them safe.
I will.

Get up.
Go.

We go.

These must stay.

[horned hound barking]

Go!

Follow Peetham.

Peetham?

[Nugget barking]

[Nugget whimpers]

[sigh]
No lizard sign.

[Nugget whimpers]

What could those three
be thinking

wanderin' this far from town?

[Nugget barks]

The forest?!

You sure?

[Nugget barks again]

I wouldn't mind a mite if I
had a w*apon right about now.

[Nugget barks]

We best be at it
sooner than later.

[Nugget barks]

[door bell clanks]

[Zouzab munching]

Ah, Zouzab!

Have you seen Tink?

Is Oskar in?

Oskar!

OS-KAAAAR!

Nia?

Are my children here?

Tomorrow is Janner's day to--

Fangs turned our house
upside down.

My children were there alone.

They're gone, Oskar!

Oh dear.

Are they in jail?

No, I've checked,
they aren't there.

So, they might have escaped?

Hmmm.

Are your kids aware
of Anklejelly?

I'm sure
they have heard stories,

but I've said nothing.

Because I had maps and,
well, other dangerous literature

hidden in a cubby and,
as Jildy Winkle wrote--

Just say it!

Sorry!

One of my maps disappeared the
same day Tink got a belly itch.

And, well, that map was
inked on a bristly blat hide...

But even if Tink took it,
why would they go to Anklejelly?

Why now?

Perhaps to find help for Sara?

Why would they think--

Because I think Tink
took one of these as well!

The Florid Sword?

They went to find
the Florid Sword?

Grab your hat, Oskar.

Yes ma'am.

Ah. Swiftly now, Wigibys.

To the wood.

[horned hounds barking]

[Peet and Leeli
growl more viciously]

[horned hounds barking]

[low growl]

Forthwith!

[horned hounds barking]

[all panting]

[horned hounds barking]

Grab on Wiggys.

Hold tight.

Why--

-[kids scream]
-[clanking overhead]

[hounds yip & growl
in frustration]

[whacking]
[hounds groan]

[clamorous laughter]

[clank]

[chugging]

[cheering]

-[wham]
-[cheering]

[whack]

[laughing]

[smack]

[maniacal laugh]

-[wham]
-[venom spurts]

'Ello Dribbles.

Let me pass.
[hisses]

Now what'r yer clacky claws
doin' with the boss's whistler?

Plannin' to go tattle to Khrak?

Special mission.

Not for you.

Yer lyin'.
[chuckles]

He thinks he got
a special mission!

[fangs laugh]

[hisses]

Something ain't right in the 'ed
with that one.

-[smack]
-[groans]

[wham]

You spilled my drink.

Ooo, easy now, Slarby.

Don't wanna spark
another tussle you can't win.

[Fangs laugh]

[scuffling]

Slarby's tryin' to cheat!

No fangs on Fangs!

[scuffling]

[slam]

Have to say, Slarby,
you're a reasonable fighter...

[gulping]

...weighed against
a lame thwap.

[Fangs laugh]

[yank]

[Fang] He got a Kn*fe!
He got a Kn*fe!

[whack]
-[Vop gasps]

[slam]

You k*lled Vop.

[hisses]

He was always good for a laugh.

What're you ever good for?

-[Slarb hisses]
-Get him!

[slam]
Boss! He k*lled Vop.

Blind-shanked 'im!

-[slam]
-[Slarb groans]

You've got
some splainin t'do maggot!

Always makin' me trouble
'mongst my troops.

Makin' me trouble in town.

[Slarb gagging]

An' you pinched my whistler?

Toss 'im in the box!

Grind his fangs to nubs!

Best to just squeeze your neck.

Poof.

No more Slarb.

No more troubles.

But they had...secret...jewels.

Igiby's...had...jewels!

[wham]

The Igiby's?

Hmmmm...

[Slarb hisses and growls]

Nab that deranged fang!

[hounds barking]

How do we get down?

[PEET] Not down, Igibuntings.

Across.

But wait.

Sir.

You want us to just walk
through the tops of these trees?

Can you fly?

No.

Oh, well, then yes.

You'll walk.

I think I can crawl.

Oh.

[All]
Whoa!

Skyroads!

Patter-foot home, baby-wigs.

Don't chase Peet.

Retreat.

RETREAT!

But we don't know where we are!

Go this way,
then that way,

and that way twice
and that way again,

and then the same,
but backwards.

...Then that way twice
and that way again,

and then the same,
but backwards...

I think we better
just follow Peet.

Thank you for saving us
from those weird-eyed dogs.

That was very brave.

Can you take us home?

Can we do the vine thing again?!

How do you know
how to do all this?

Walking?

No.

Fighting hounds.

Anklejelly swords.

Vines that whoosh up
into the trees.

Hidden paths in the leaves.

Janner, Janker, Tanger--
always ever curious!

But, no tore malking-
more talking.

Go home.

Can't you help us?

Or tell us who you are?

I am Peet and Peet is one
who hurts who he wants to help!

Best to help by never helping!

[anguished cry]

[crow squawking]

Read it back.

Ahem.

My Horrible and Ferocious--

Most ferocious.

Er...sorry.

Most ferocious General Khrak.

Vigilant as I am,
I recently seized

this lone piece
of forbidden jewelry

from a sneaky Glipwooder.

Had there been more jewels

I would certainly have
sent them along as well.

Your Most Trusted Officer,
Gnorm the Ever-Watchful.

I expect you'll be promoted
for this, Commander.

When you are, please remember
my helpfulness.

Oh, you'll soon know your
true worth to us, Blaggus.

To General Khrak!

-[crow squawking]
-[smack]

[thump]

-Ugh! Bring me another crow!
-[crow screeches]

[muttering]

Who knows what
sockman hands might do,

to her or him
or them or you!

By myself is best, yes!

Whoa.

[Tink gasps]
I want one!

I don't think he wants us
to follow him!

-[Leeli giggles]
-Come on.

[Tink gasps and giggles]

Huh?
What is this?

Whoa.
What are these things?

Rude, rude!

No manners!

Peet says watt nelcome...
not welcome!

Wingibys barge in winny-nay.

We don't know where we are.

We had to follow you.

I told you the way.

There!
Where the sun sill wet.

Oh, where the sun will set?

Yes!
The path to Wingiby stead.

Now go!
Go. Go!

I'm glad I got to see
your tree house, Mister Peet.

It's lovely.

It's ky mastle.
My castle.

No place for
Tinker, Wheely, and Jam.

Jam!

Hey, got any food?

I'm starving!

Huh.

You eat dried leaves?

[chomping]

Sometimes wet.

Who are you anyway?

Is Peet even your real name?

What is a real name? Hmm?

What's your real name then, hmm?

Janner Igiby.

Is it...?

I just want to know
if you're the Florid Sword.

[gasps]
The slorid fword?

No, no, surely not me!

I'm Peet...am I?

Yes yes, no--
not some thwarted lord.

Fangs took our friend.

Do you know any fang fighters
who can help us get her back?

No one comes back.

Sara will!

No.
No one comes back.

Not even lucky
escapers get to come back...

Not all the way.

He can't help us.

We're just wasting time.

Let's go.

Who's Artham Wingfeather?

[screams]
NO NO!

[rips page]
[chewing]

Wingfeather?

Do you know who Esben--

[Peet SHRIEKS]
No, no, no!

Mo nore, no more, ro rore.

No! No!

Get away!
Get away!

Get away mum free!
Get away mum free!

Get away from me!

[PEET] Get away from me!

[shrieking]

Tink!

LEELI!

Janner, my boy, come out...

[strikes match]

They're not up here.

Take me below.

[door creaks open]

Weapons have been disturbed.

Look.

This is Tink's.

So, they managed to solve
the door code.

Hmm. Clever children.

Dear dear.

Dear dear.

They'll have so many
questions now.

Maker, keep them safe.

They made it here, didn't they?

I expect they've made it home.

I should get back.

[sword slice]

[gasp]
Peet has been here too.

My, how the soup does thicken.

That's a quote from--

I don't care.

...the Earl of Butterford.

[crow squawking]

[crow squawking]

[crow squawks]

[muttering]

Seized this lone piece
of forbidden jewelry

from a sneaky Glipwooder.

Gnorm, you fool.

These are Annieran jewels!

You found humans
in possession of jewels

and you let them walk free?

-Scribe!
-[crow squawking]

[shuffling]

You bellowed?

Write a message.

You imbecile!

-Me?
-No!

Well, yes, but I meant it
as part of my message!

Arrest by dawn all who dwell
where this shiny was found,

or I will ride into Glipwood and
personally draw and quarter you.

[carriage creaking]

[horse whinnies]

I don't know what
comes next, Oskar.

Please keep an eye out
and be ready if we need you.

[grunting]
[thud]

Try not to overfret, Nia.

They're probably
already safe at home.

[horse whinnies]
[Nia pops the reins]

[groaning]

As Mygo Bolomp wrote:
Ouch, almost!

[bird squawking]

How do you know
this is the way home?

It doesn't look like the way.

We're walking through treetops.

This is what treetops look like.

Shh!

[brush rustles]

[yip]
[bark]

[gasp]
Nugget!

It's Nugget!

NUGGET!

[barking]
Grandpa!

Up here!

Oh, what in the Deep are ye
doing all the way up there?

[diggle groans]

Watch out!

Behind you!

-Diggle!
-One at a time!

I cant hear what--

[diggle hisses]

[Podo groans]

[whack]

[thumping]

[Janner]
Um, Mister Peet?

Were you following us?

You get away from my children!

He helped us up here, grandpa!

Well, he better help you down!

Uh, Wiggibles,
lere's a thadder there.

A ladder there.

Bunder the idge.

Bridge.
Underneath.

Found it.

[Tink]
Whoa!

Me first!

Uh, here.

You go first and I can help you
over the edge--

Or...

I'll carry her.

Hop on my back,
little Iggy-bird.

[Tink] Whoa.

She'll be safe...
long enough.

If you drop my grandbaby--

Grandpa, Mister Peet
has a castle in the trees

and inside there are so many--

Not now boy.

Drop 'er to me.

I'll catch her.

[Nugget barks]
Oh puppy, I missed you too!

We didn't mean
to worry you, Grandpa.

We were on our way home.

But there's ladders
and bridges all over the woods!

Wanna see 'em?

What's wrong, grandpa?

Mister Peet saved us
at Anklejelly.

He's nice.

Ha!
Nice?

[wham]
[thump]

-[cry of pain and surprise]
-You keep away!

Grandpa!

He just saved you
from that diggle!

Humph.

A little late to decide
ye'll start savin' people now,

wouldn' ye say?

Grandpa...

Yer never to speak
to that man again, ye hear?

An' don't think you won't be
in a fine kettle for this,

Janner Igiby.

Worryin' yer mama near to death!

Yes sir.

[crow squawking]

[crow squawking]

-[jiggling knob]
ALL FANGS ASSEMBLE!

Shut yer bug chompers!

We got a pack
of dangerous criminals

has to be nabbed tonight!

Are we grabbin'
that Florid Sword?

No, we arrest THE IGIBYS!!!

[gasp]

Wait.

Our dangerous criminals
is the lady bakes maggotloaf

an' the old peglegger?

And her li'l piggies.
All of 'em!

All right, then.

Orta be a easy snatch.

Come back empty-clawed, and I'll
feed you yer own scaly tails.

Got it, boss.

Move out!

[marching]

Yer ma'll be sick over ye.

We best scurry on
'afore the light fizzles.

Don't dally in yer regrets, boy.

Sometimes bein' a man means
facin' up to yer consequence.

Who's Esben Wingfeather?

Where'd ye learn that name, son?

Who is Esben Wingfeather?

[Podo sighs]
Esben...

Oh, well now, Esben...

He was yer father.

And uh...

[crashing glass]

[flames crackle]

[wham]

-[smash]
-[growling]

[Janner sighs]

Oh, Reteep.

Gnorm gave orders...

to arrest you all...

Stashed my wagon
up the road.

Arrest us?

The children too?

[Nia groans]

Mama!

-[fire crackling]
-[Fangs groans]

Oskar, get these pups
to you-know-where.

I'll meet you up when I'm done.

Children, do as he says.

No papa!

Run away!

RUN!

[whack]

-[Fang groans]
-[wham]

-[whack]
-[Fang groans]

[wham]

[Podo groans]

[scuffling]

I'm gonna fight them too!

No.
You'll come with me.

Half the fight is picking
the right time to fight.

Now is not that time!

[struggling]

-[thump]
-[Podo groans]

Grandpa...

Mama.

[struggling in the distance]
[fire crackles]
